The pickets fired into a group of Chinese trying to board a steamer for HongKo ng, forbidden by the strike regulations. Enforcement of these regulations has brought on a state of intermittent warfare be- tween the pickets and smugglers in the waters around Canton. Shoot ing affairs and killings have been numerous; arrests and cargo seizures frequent; some foreingers have been assaulted or otherwise molested. Foreign gunboats in the Canton river keep close watch over foreign vessels, playing searchlights on them at night.
 The strikers, although living un- der the government of Canton, which claims entire independence of the normal government by China at Peking are ruled directly by the central strike committee and it's highly elaborated organization. At certain periods, at least, this organization has been q law unto itself, with its own police, courts and prisons.
 Last summer, when anti-British feeling wasat it's height, the strik- CTS came to Canton as a gigantic movement Of protest against British imperialism" The leaders claim 100000 persons are billeted in or around Canton, under the central committees supervision, but conservative foreign estimates place the number at about 20,000.

Through the Static

Saturday night was g. total JOSS, with thunder storms bursting all over the greensward. Last night was a great improvement and both clar- ity and volume were enjoyed, d. though along toward the time when neople should have been in bed there appeared some slight smatter- ing of the dcviltry that is hated by more people in this country than IS anything or anybody else, static. We didn't pay any attention 10 1t, in fact We just ignored it completely
 On Saturday, in spite of the elec- trical particles flying through the air all afternoon and evening, we managed 10 hear several stations with comparative ease.
 WEAF, New York, offered 8 pleasing baritone who stacked his voice against the static and came through first. He sang that familiar Negro spiritual, Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" 10 our great enjoyment.
 The good old Record Boys were present at WIZ, New York, and they sang in their typical manner several

SESSION PLAN
 AT H. 5. FAR OFF
Cannot Become Effective This
 Year, Supt. Holmes Says

The continuous session plan as advocated by Principal Louis P. Slade Of the High school in a letter to Supt. S. H. Holmes of the schoo! department will not be a matter that will affect the Senior high school for at least a year, MT. Holmes stated today.
 It is thought that the radical changes which would be necessary should this plan be put into effect could not be made in the short time remaining between now and the re- opening Of school in September. At the last meeting Of the school board the matter was referred to the teach CTS committee with the request for a report at a later meeting.
 Mir. Slade favored a continuous session from S:30 o'clock in the morning until o'clock in the after noon with q short luncheon period at noon. The students would obtain lunch at cafeteria which the school department would provide if the plan is favored.

numbers, most of which we had heard then render before. This "Oo- Long In Hong Kong Is all right the
 first time it Is heard, but it gets tiresome after while. Then Frank, the doughty Frank. sang Who's in
 Your Arms Tonight?" his dainty yodelling taking the cake for fair. Brother, Slow Down." 9 hot num-
 Der, was one Of Al Bernard's contri- buttons to the cause.
 After listening to an orchestra playing Smile" We shut down for the evening. Crackles and snaps Of great intensity met our ears at every turn and we really felt some uneasi- ness for the tubes.
 Hungarian Rhapsody No. 1 and Ditto No. 2, two familiar selections among the classics, were featured Sunday on the program by the Hotel Madison orchestra from WIZ, The offering was one Of request selec- tions. and we met several old friends there.
 The VEAL ensemble. one Of the main features on the programs of the Baltimore station, presented q series of three dances which were deftly played and beautifully hand led. They were typical of the minor classics, with plenty Of runs and a beautiful swing. Country Dance" Pastoral Dance" and "Merrymak- CTS Dance" were the names. The station came in with untold volume.
 And we managed to hear some dance music too. Vincent Lopez or chestra, playing at the Tokio Gar den, Newark, supplied group of popular numbers through WNJ. The orchestrations were of the Lopez type and We enjoyed them, doubly because it was the only station sup plying music of that style. Honey Bunch" NO Foolin'," The Girl Friend, Sleepy Time Gal" and the wow-wow, Horses" were among 'em.
 And from WPG. Atlantic City came the thrilling strains of Pat Conways famous band direct from the Steel Pier. It was the initial broadcast of the band from that part of Americas Playground' and the program was a rather auspiclouS one. We managed to crowd In Tor the final number, medley Of pa triotic airs designed to make the minds of all turn to the Stars and Stripes We should have enjoyed hearing more of the program, but that was all there was, there wasn't any more, to paraphrase Ethel Bar rynore, who is alleged to have made the crack in the first place.
 VICES. New York, with clarity and reasonable volume, offered the nre-stage production of Beau Nash" a romantic comedy drama The station handled the presentation in great shape, keeping an even heel throughout. so that it was possible to follow the play right through as easily as if one had been sitting Tn the theater. We didn't remain for long, though, since we didn't get In at the beginning and we were rather at a loss to know what 1t was all about.
 And we closed our rambles last evening by visiting WCBD, Zion Q station which we hear about once a month. Last evening there was noth- ing the matter with volume, for q fact. We heard a soprano solo, Mountains and Jerusalem" and then we signed off, since we found ourself sitting back in the chair from time to time, and closing our eyes, mot because we were tired but just to rest 'em," an old gag which still works.
 That's all for today, thanks! ID F. L.
