Through tie Static

It vas ono of those evenings which snoaks in every once in q while and as'ounds one with it's oX- ccllenco. Volume, honestly, was something 0 be marvcIled at, as was the clarity Nearly every station which could be brought in. came through with bang and there was little perc"ptiDlc static. The only fly in our clam choWder was q slight buzzing noise which was merely nerve Wracking. Ii was not loud enough to to any damage but it was loud enough to be heard everywhere on the dials.
 Wen. we started off the evening hy bringing in WHIT, Philadclphia q station which We haven't heard for nearly 35 years. Miss Betty Pierce, Of the "Wnito Cargo' company, which, by the way is not d firm O. flour dealers, and, as we were say ing, Miss ePiorcc gave q short talk regarding frolic of some sort which will be held Sunday niehl after midnight, which will be Mon day morning, She wasn't very clear as 10 why the frolic is going 10 bc held. but doubtless WLlT's publicity agent will cnlighten us bcfort many moons have passed,
 Right here we wish to interrupt. WTIC's publicity has just been brought in and We notice that the '. M. T. A. and E. drum corps O. this city is scheduled to go on fine air from that station on Monday evening next at 7:So o'clock. The corps will be assisted by James J. Donohue, tenor, who will render a group of choice selections.
 The hockey game, broadcast by. WBZ, between the Boston Bruins and the Pittsburgh team played to q capacity house, there having been about 1000 people in attendance. Frank Ryan, we call him Frank, said he had a dream two weeks ago in which the Bruins had entered the World Series. He should keep on dreaming. Maybe someone will give him hig slice of chocolate cake with shredded cocoanut on the top. By the way, some one in our vicinity should buy radio set. They were trying to bring in Springfield for about a half hour, and all they did was squoal. Something's vitalIy wrong, as We suspect not only with the operator, but with the set.
 As for the hockey game. the wom- on as wolf as the mon got all eyci,- cd over the game and it was possible to hear shrill feminine voices yell ing, "Take the lad ouuo your shoes" As the game startod the band awoke with q start and played "Tho Star Spangled Banner" and then Captain Cloghorn was presented with a basket Of flowers, for some unannounced reason. Perhaps it was for finding his way about Boston, unassisted. End Of the first period Bruins, l; Pittsburgh. goose egg.
 still going on hockey We hopr yon like it, because we're going 10 write at least l9 columns on this game. The second period was q fast one. Everybody was excited, tpclud- ing those who watched the game, and the announcer several times act cd as ii he were going 10 desert his post and slide onto inc ice to help his team. Fights among the players brought forth a shower Of penalties and the crowd hoohod eleefuIly. End of second period Bruins, 2; Pitts hurgh, Q. End Of third period, Bruins 2; Pittsburgh, ?. For the fourth per iod see the sporting page.
 
 The WGY orchestra, playing with it's customary digni1ed air, offered Fantasy on Russian Melodies" by Fetras and "Thc Wanderers Goal Overtnrc," hv Suppe, two high class selections which were well interpret cd. A least, we enjoyed them, and that's as far as our ability to criti- cize classical numbers goes. As for popular songs. just lead us to 'em' WGY came through unusually loud and clear, with no fading. The sta ton joined with WIZ and took us to southern France as q part Of inc well known Grand Tour" We didn't stay, since Southern France is ap- plcsauce 70 us and. besides. VIC were disappointed because they didn't .ake us 10 Paris.
 
 woe at Davenport, loud, offered the radio auction bridge games, which appeals 10 us in the same manner as do the reading of stock land market reports. WCBD at Zion, H.. appeared out Of the wastes for the first time in months, The quar- Det sang. jiquidly. The Song Of The Trees" and then there was a cornet solo. name and composer not heard.
