Through fife Static

l Nllul h'io' " dSlliHS hlatHlltH anu battery chargers. That little thought keeps running through our mind ] this morning, and try as we may,
 it's impossible 10 get rid of it. Why? An, yes, Why? Well, in the first | place, we heard them both lahst iyning via radio, Shortly before the | hour of nine arrived, we were start led ont of at least two minutes
 growth by Il subdued murmur and
 rasping which gradually grew in VOL Lme and intensity, until our ear drums shrieked with pain. Louder and louder grew the noise and din and finally We turned away with
 large glyccrinc-like tears in our eyes. | Well, at abont II o'clock the folks We know who they are, finished their
 weeks washing. and we had peace TOT q few minutes. Then Uncle Pete
 iecidcd that if he wanted to hear that good program that was going on thc air six weeks from Saturday come next Whitsuntide. he had bet
 ter charge that batter. He did so and
 we heard all about it. Moosc'
 Moosic to our ears.
 
 There wasn't a great deal of vol umc, anyway, last night. The stations
 We could hear through the various noises did not come from any great
 distance and We judge that the oth- CTS were submerged in the sea Of in 1 terferenCe which threatened to over | whclm Us several times during the tight. Fading was inSistent on scV- cral stations and there was static at intervals.
 A preViouly unannounccd feature from WRX was the broudcasting Of the boxing bouts, held at Mechanics nall, Boston. under the auspices of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. The i transmission was fair and the de- scriptions were interesting. The an-
 nouncer sounded like Frank Ryan, hockey game specialist. Several bouts were held, but the one we got the biggest kick out of was what was called an International Bout, be-
 tween a colored boy from this coun- try and a boxer from Canada. The
 colored lad made the entire battle q continuous comedy. The crowd howled with laughter and Frank, himself, had a hard job to hold in
 the guffaWs which threatened to hin, t'1no,jio, fighter, but the colored youngster was clown and the entire proceed ings were funny. At any rate. the lad from this side of the border got the decision.
 Harold Leonards orchestra, through WIZ, offered an excellent program of dance music of the quiet CT kind. Leonard and his gang arc well liked by fans in this vicinity, | ospecaIly by the older ones, since the musicians ne' CT go into contortions with the music. "Oh, Boy. What q
 Girl" 'Dnah' and Good Morning. were three of the numbers, HaroldS violin being prominent as usual. . Then he played as solo numbers Inspiration" and "Remem0cr," tho
 last for a party of New ' Nork sales men snowbound out west some where. Our sympathy.
 "Emel" Hcimbergcr and His Ho- tel Bond dance orchestra, the
 "Emiel is Tom McCray's, not ours, presented program up to the usual i standard of quality. A particularly choice program came through, the numbers being well selected and well played. "On The Road To Manda- lay" "She Was Just q Sailors Sweet heart Song Of The Nagabond" and Just Around The Corner" were among them.
 Today would be a good one foI
 unburdening Ourself of several i'm portant bulletins which have come through regarding future broadcasts. These bulletins arrived too late for publication in Back O. The Mike" so we'll include them now, as they
 affect programs of this week.

 famous Arctic explorer. will tell for the first time publicly, how Peary reached the Pole in 1909, this talk
 10 be broadcast by WJAZ. Chicago, on Thursday evening of this week at l2 o'clock, midnight, eastern stand ard time. MacMillan was one of the 1 men who was with Peary on his dash for the Pole and he will answer the
 question in the minds of many Americans as to whether or not peary ever really reached his goal, WJAZ broadcasts on a wavelength of Sc2 meters.
 Is WJAZ has announced it schedule of broadCasting for the next few months. The time given is central , standard, and if you want 10 change
 it to eastern standard. as doubtless you do, just add one hour.
