1 which we will say no more. We use,
 you notice, the word ''will' with the [ first person plural, all Of which, that
 is, the combination of the two, ex- presses determination. For that little | lesson in grammar we charge noth- | ing. It is just our greatness of heart that prompts us to do things like
 that time and again, win no per ! ceptible benefit to ourself period. The night was not dark and
 stormy, but the air was filled with particles of something, the exact na- l ture of which we are not yet certain.
 Of one thing we are sure, there was { lots of disturbance. A dainty, lady l like buzz was on early in the eve ming and this successfully blanketed most everything We attempted to
 hear. This stopped before long and
 we enjoyed period of comparative
 calm, Before we sought our downy
 couch we were privileged to hear a great hoarse buzz breaking through ! the ether terribly. Everything fell ! before it and it grasped the puny
 radio waves and ripped them asun- der with its gory talons (O-o-o-o-h! Aren't his descriptions startlingly vivid?) Although we didn't remain at the set so very late last evening, there didn't seem to be great deal of volume. No" says somebody.
 We couldn't even get Chicago" Be yourself, dearie," whispered the Duchess wiping the tapioca pud-
 ding from her ample bosom, Chi cago is silent on Monday nights" WDRC, New Haven, came through very well, said the handsome naval officer, hand on hip. Barney Rapp and his Roger sherman Restaurant orchestra {distinctly an advt., they shouted gaily) laid before us for our consideration a series of scintillating dance rhythms, charming to hear, delicately woven and suspended on threads of finest silk. And our claque applauded merrily. Moonlight on the Ganges," Clap Yo' Hands" from "Oh, Kay," Half a Moon" and Little White House" were among the numbers The stations wave was sharply defined, and we might go so far as to say that it was so clear-cut as to appear to have been chiseled. Every so often a petulant screech rent the air, in spite of the fact that rent is very high nowadays and you can't get anything for less than $40 month. This screech appeared to be the wave of another station, since
 1t bore music, and other costly gifts. The orchestra played it's tunes in a soft, dreamy style, for the most part, although rather spiteful trumpet now and then made itself heard in a series of galloping snorts.
 
 Over to WADC, Akron, which sta !! tion appeared luminously on the !, horizon, said he, smirking foolishly | WADC also achieved an even-sur- [ faced wave and we listened to the | Allen theater orchestra in Jealous of Me" and Let Me Call You Sweet heart"
 Say, that fellows been inhaling hop, said they, in spirit Of boyish ridicule. But that has nothing to do . with our mood this day. On to VEAL, Baltimore, where the dance orchestra of that station played sub dued and disnifed music, in an ef fort to turn this jazz-mad world from the downwdard path which it is now treading. Crying For the Moon' was executed in a pure, slbdued style, ! while Me, Too" proved to be equal ly delightful. The station came ! through with full strength.
 Over at WRNY, New York, the | Original Indiana Five furnished , dance music, and We learned about dance tunes from them. Birth of the Blues" couldn't have been played much better if the boys were sitting on the cook-stove at such time. We doubt it. We might say that WRNY was decidedly vociferous.
 All we ran into was dance music and WTAM, Cleveland, contributed its quota, or whatever it is that sta tions contribute for the enjoyment of the vast multitude called the public.
