Through he Static

Last night was just one of those old time listless affairs. Conditions were fair, volume wasn't good, and there was some fading. A slivery type of static made matters worse and the buzz, for a change, stayed away out in the woods, although it was distinguishable. DN was not for us. If anyone was fortunate enough to bring in any station farther away that the western end of his aerial, let us know by the first post.
 
 Skinny and His Gang made their reappearance at WTIC at 6 o'clock last night after having been absent from the vicinity of the mike during the summer months. We enjoyed meeting our little friends again, Skinny, Babe, Bill Sykes, Jill, the pup and the colored boy. They told Walter Johnson, the announcer all about their vacations and then Skin ny managed to get them quiet while he told the story of GcrtrlN Ederle. The story was interesting and Skinny had all the dope down pat, when she learned 10 swim, when she developed her famous crawl stroke and every thing like that Jill interrupted with distinctly child-like questions every so often.
 With an unscheduled program by Emil Heimbcrger and his Hotel Bond orchestra came the announce ment that the band will furnish an hour of dance music each Friday evening from 10 to II o'clock, day light saving time. It must have been a last minute decision, because the program hadn't been previously an- nounced. IL filled a need last eve ming, though. The orchestra was up to it's usual high standard and We enjoyed it. "On The Rivera" High Diddlc- Diddle" and many others were presented.

 George Olsen's club orchestra, playing at WIZ, New York, shortly after 7K o'clock. While this aggreGa- ton has not the smoothness and finish Of the first string Pennsylvania band, it compares favorably enough with the first string group to make it worth listening to, We missed Fran Frey and the vocal trio. but they'll be back within q wccl; or so. The music was really well presented and, unless we are very much mis- taken, tho orchestrations are the same as those employed by the or iginal orchestra. Hugs and Kisses was one of the numbers.
 We listened to portion of the Tom Kippur services broadcast last evening by WGY, direct from Temple Beth Emcth at Albany. The station came through very well, it seemed to us, and there was comparatively little disturbance, at least while We listened to the service. A portion of a prayer together with organ music and selections by a quartet were heard with interest.

Birds Invade Hotel to

Mankind throughout the ages has
always had a fondness for pigeons.
Maybe it is because they are so close
ly related to the dove that found
land for Noah.
L. X. Ncri, cab starter for the
Merchants Transfer company at the
st. Anthony hotel, is claimed by
about 80 pigeons but he has no right
full claim on them.
GUESTS ENJOY SIGHT.
A few months ago Mr.. Ncri no.
ticcd a few pigeons perched in the
trees in Travis Park, and thinking
that they might be hungry, he took
a handful OF grain and sprinkled it
on the ground under the trees.
Each morning about o'clock Mr..
Ncri repeated the performance. Soon
the number of pigeons increased. 1t
was not long before he had them eat
ing on the St Anthony steps. And
now with a little coaxing he is able
to lure them into the lobby of tn
hotel.
"The guests here at the hotel get
big kick out of watching me feed

FEED BILL MOUNTS.
"You would be surprised at the
amount Of feed 80 or 10 pigeons can

Of feeding them as the pigeons do out

IF the pigeons keep on increasing
in number I will soon have a good

Treasure Hidden by
Unfortunate Don.
By BESS CARROLL

Gold,
Bright and yellow, hard and cold
Once more the lure of forbidden
gold is tempting San Antonio.
As the golden moonlight of Texas
spring nights is gliding the dark cor
ners of Treasure Hill-touching the
mysterious old trees Of the San Pedro
with the touch of Midas-many men
think longingly of the buried gold of
Don Francisco Rodriguez, cavalier Of
ancient San Antonio.
Yet those who go questing for the
Don's lost gold are few.
Why?-Those who have hunted for
the treasure know why, too well. For
four spectres, their bony fingers al
ways pointed toward the gold-Seckpr,
guard the secret Of the Rodrigur:

Meantime Don Francisco, being
wise and very careful, had buried hi
gold doublOOns and other treasure IN
great chests. to prevent seizure or au
enforced loan--no matter which way
the tide of war turned He lived near
the head of the San Pedro, where his
descendants live today. Some believe
that he buried the treasure near San
Pedro Springs. others think he took
he took it to Treasure Hill.
The news Of his sons death-a sud
den shock-killed Don Francisco. H.
begged for Dolores, as he was dying
or for someone TO whom he could con.
fidc the secret whereabouts Of his
hidden gold. But Dolores was at
church, his other children gone. Don
Francisco carried his secret with him
into the grave. Pancho and Antonio
had killed each other. Dolores soon
died of grief.

GOLD NOT MYTH.

The buried gold Of Don Francisco
is thought not to be a myth. In tn.
earliest days Don Francisco ROdr
guez. a rich grandce Of Spain, came
from the Canary Islands to San An
tonic. He had a lovely daughter.
Dolores. who was ''promiscd' to i
young captain-AntOnio Cordero. The
Don's son, Pancho, was also Il SpaI-
ish soldier. At that time there was
war between the French and the
Spanish. Antonio fell under the Spaa-
ish kings suspicion. and was ordcre !
to leave San Antonio. He joined the
on-coming French forces. that he
might soon be near Dolores again.

The greatest hazard connected with

The greatest hazard connected with
spring cleaning comes from the burn
ing of refuse in dangerous places
too close to buildings and fences, or
in the midst of dry grass or when
high winds are blowing which may
carry sparks and embers long dis
tances. In burning rubbish take care
to set the fires far enough from
buildings to eliminate the risk of di-
rect contact with the flame. Be es-
pecially careful of burning over dry
grass and stubble. No outdoor fire,
whatever it's purpose, should ever be
started when the wind is strong, and
filled water bucket should always
be kept handy along with broom,
the latter to beat out any stray
sparks and flames.
Therefore, / say in conclusion, let
us clean up. Let us make thorough
job of it. But while doing so let US at

known as spring cleaning, l feel that
the time is opportune to issue the
following hints, that if given heed,
number of needless fires.
There are very few homes in New
ark where some attention is not given
to renovation during the first sunny
days of spring. Much rubbish and
litter accumulates during the winter
months when removal is difficult,
and it is natural to get busy with the
broom and ash-can in the present
season. 1t is an excellent habit, too,
but l must caution people against the
fire hazards that care and common
sense will avoid; and in so doing peo-
pie should realize that speak from
actual experiences, supported by the
department records.
Do not neglect the chimney or the
smokepipe connected with your furn-
ace. In many cases they will be
found to be almost completely chok-
ed with SCOT from the soft coal burn
ed. If these are neglected can pre-
dict with certainty many destructive
fires-needless fires, every one of
them, when winter comes again. The
most opportune time to get rid of this
SCOT is during the spring cleaning
season while it is still soft. First
take down the smoke pipe and clean
it out. The chimney should be clean
ed from the top by means of brick
wrapped in burlap or strong rag and
lowered into chimney on a rope long
enough to reach bottom of flue. Our
city will continue to have too many
fires without adding numerous easily
ave idatle blazes, such as chimney and
flue outbreaks always are.
