Another pretty fair night for re- ccption and that makes a grand to- tal of several. To tel! the truth, We enjoyed the period between 6 and : more than we did the later tyn- ming, merely because there was an element of chance mixed up in the whole business. We cast about anN- iously trying to bring in somethine out of the ordinary for that time o. night. We were really surprised ai the possibilities and at the resu' e Later in the evening there was & slight shower of static now and tl.a with just a dash of tading for gooI measure. DIX stood up we'll und-s the strain, although We didn't roara beyond Iowa City.
 
 Early in the evening, just for ,ho .un Of 1t, we jottcd down each ar ! every station we brought in betwt,.. ( and [ o'clock. Here she be: WBAl.. Baltimore; WAAM, Newark: WFnU, New York; WMSG, New York. KDkA, Pittsburgh; VICES, New York; WBI, Springfield; WLS. Chi cago; WEEI, Boston; WVJ, Detroit. WIN New York; MEAN, Provi- dence; WGY.

WOR, Newark; WLW, Cincinnati: WNAC, Boston; WTIC, Hartford; WEAF, New York; WICK, Detroit; WNYC, New York; WTAG, Worccs- ter; WIRED, Lansing, and WGR. Buffalo. You'll have 10 admit thu. the list is plenty for anyone durn= the dinner hour. or supper hour, 6. you will.
 A few remarks on the list Every station with the exception Of WTAL. WOR, WGR and WLS. caml through with unusual volume, while the four mentioned maintained q moderate and pleasing strength and quality which proved to be ire proachable.
 WRZ, which at times came through very poorly. offered q clever banjo quartet under the auspices oG the k. Of c. This group presented it's numbers in d finished manner and with a professional swing. We hcart Under The Double Eagle" and Drifting and Dreaming
 
 WAIIG, Richmond Hill, was one of the louder visitors, taking the place of VICES for the evening. Tho latter hasn't come through satislac- torily on our Set since the trans hitter was moved to Astoria, Long Island. Altogether. boys, let's move it back. It won't take long and grandpa will never know. As wc were saying, WAHG offered q loud program, that is, the program came through loud. The Brooklyn Glce club occupied the limclignt offer ing a group Of numbers guaranteed 10 please even the most Erouchy lis -erners. Excellent entertainmcnt, we calls 1t. America" was one of the selections, while Bells of St. Nary with it's beautiful harmonies, provid- cd the club with a second number, There were other features, vocal and instrumental. in addition 10 several speeches, but We didn't stay to make notes. Possibly the glee club spoiled us for anything else.
 From WTAM. Cleveland. and WSAI, Cincinnati, we heard the Gypsies on the WEAF chain pro- gram. We weren't sufficiently inter- ested in the number to stay with 1t.
 WTlC offered a novel impromptu program and everybody, including ourself, had a good time. A violnist and pianist played Drifting and Dreaming" first as two amateurs would play it for the first time with discord and many sour notes; then they played it as it should be played, with pep, vim and vigor (for pep, vim and vigor, drink Boom Boom, makes you grow. advD and with a rhythmic swing. and last, as a professional violinist and q ditto pianist would render the se- lection, very hiEh-toned. etc, etc. The violinist. broke q string on the last note. We don't think that was
