COLD WAVES GRIP
 FRANCE AND ITALY
Flooded Areas Frozen and Bitter
 Gales Bring Discomfort

Paris, Jan. 14 P'-Both France and Italy are suffering from severe cold waves. Central and northern Italy, and southward as far as Ma ples, are blanketed with snow. In France the mercury dropped ab. ruptly from 60 degrees Fahrenheit 10 zero and below at some points Snow also is falling at various places.
 Where last week floods were raE- Ing, tho water has been converted into frozen swamps over which iS bowling a bitter easterly gale. Tn" lowest temperature recorded Is at Briancon, where degrees below zero was registered. The thermom- eter this morning stood only just above zero in Touraine and Bur gundy. Central France and even the sunny south are affected from Per pignan to Mentone.
 A heavy fall of snow Is ravaging the flower raising countries around Nice and Cannes, doing damages Cs- 1 timated at millions of francs. At Toulouse the snow is a foot deep. There are also white mantles at Bordeaux, Montpelier, Avignon and other cities where snow has not been seen once in ten years.
 Violent storms are raging In the Mediterranean, which are playing havoc to shipping. Much damage also Is being done by the gales to shipping and ports on the west coast. The British torpedoboat de- stroyer Wolthound collided with the small coastal sailing vessel Miarga, which was cut In two and sank. Her crew of six men was landed at Brest by the destroyer. The second officer in command of the destroyer vas swept overheard by a huge sea while directing the rescue work and perished.
 Several inches of snow fell In Mi Ian, Turin and Priests, Italy, while there was considerable precipitation at Florence and other Tuscan cities. Naples, the warm southern tourist center, also was visited. There are heavy snows in the Italian Alps, the Apennines and In Abruzzi.

Through tie Static

We certainly hate 10 take up the time Of you folks today, because We haven't anything of any account 10 tell you. The static came in we'll last evening the more power to it. But that's about all that came in well, except WrIC and WBZ. There seemed to be q marked lack Of vol ume on all broadcasters, although things brightened up to some eX- tent late in the evening, The entire proceedings was nothing to make your heart so batter in your manly bosom, if you get the drift.
 In the first place We brought in : all the stations that one could or dinarily get on 6 crystal set. In the second place, only two of the pro- grams appealed to us, and in the third place, our feet hurt.
 The KDKA Little Symphony offer cd an interesting trip down Mem ory Lane," when it played a group of old time selections in its usual eX- pedtious manner. One number was enteled Forty Bottles" or Forty Battles" or something like that. Makes no difference. one and the same thing. Because after 40 bottles, 70 battles are bound 10 ensne, unless the bottles happen to contain milk or chili sauce or something like that. Others in the group included Nellie Was Lady" Seeing Nellie Home" " Good Night, Ladies'" Hard Times Will Come No More" and "Old Folks at Home" KDkA faded consider ably.
 The Hotel Commodore orchestra offered "There's Weeping in My Heart" from WIZ. The station came through loud and while that number was being played several regenera- tive sets olficiated as chief mourners raising their hair-raising howls tc the high heavens.
 
 The weekly movie talk rom " bZ was interesting, and this feature has gained great favor with radio fans in general, many of whom say that t is the best stunt WBZ puts over while others say it is not, which is natural. At any rate, the subject oi Comedies" was discussed last even- ing, a thorough explanation of thell creating and finishing being given George A.

Roberts, Seward dentist, departed on the steamship Alaska for Seattle and his former home, at Ontario, Ore. where Mrs. Roberts and son have been residing. According to Dr. Rob- erts' plans when he left it was stated he expected to return in about two months, but that this depended en- tirely upon the condition of his wife.
 During his absence from the local office, Dr. c. M. Tyler, of Ontario. and former colleague of Dr. Roberts for four years, will assume charge of the business. Dr. Tyler is due to arrive Ill Seward on one of the next boats from Seattle. Dr. Roberts compliment ed the work of Dr. Tyler and added that any work received at the office during his absence would have the same careful attention under the ad m1nistration of Dr. Tyler as has been the policy in the past. Any uncom- pleted work of Dr. Tyler's will be car ried on and completed by Dr. Roberts upon his return.
