Through he Stohc

Fading entered into the proceed ings last evening and we were treat ed to examples of this phenomenon from several of the better known stations. There was plenty Of vol ume throughout the evening and static was negligible factor. It was very late before it even made its appearance to any degree and even then it was of the tlaky variety which does not interfere with pro- grams a great deal. On the lower wavelengths there was some diff culty, since a series of young eXplo- sions were being staged down there by some unknown agency.

Il stop ped gradually, petering out slowly but surely. Well, we brought WG II through all this disturbance just as nice as you please. The station was strong and the quality of transmls- sion was well nigh perfect. We ls- tened to the reading of news bulle- tins by a very precise announcer who would have gone out and cut his throat from ear to ear and back again if he had slurred syllable or committed such q grammatical crime as failing to sound his "g's'. He accomplished his purpose. how ever. since his every word Has as clear and loud as if he had been talking directly 10 us from a chair in the room in which We were sit ting.

! Keep Your Hands Off That Girl, She's Mine" and we've committed the song to memory, since it con- tains some very good dope. WBZ was the station transmitting the pro- gram. Bob did his own announcing, with a few wisecracks tastefully thrown in.
 The next subject well put down exactly as we put it down on our note-sheet last evening: WTIC- Goldman band concert from N. Y.- Very good, clear-a very classical program, but was good.
 The next two, too, We take back what we said about WGY. since we forgot at the time that We heard one selection by the WGY orchestra later in the evening.
 WOR - Serenading Shoemakers played as xx x(cant make that ou) selection. Three O'clock in the Morning. WGY-WGY orch.-One selection was The Mill on The Rocks" very good-some static.
 
 The Maxwell orchestra offered a distinctly novel entertainment fea- ture from WIZ, New York, present ing a program made up of dances from the foreign countries The fea- ture of this program was the new Spanish dance Barcelona" which has been revamped by American dance orchestras for use as a fox trot. Played in it's original style it acquires a great deal of charm lost in the foXtrot version. This Maxwell orchestra is of the salon type, with strings and good-Winds predominant ing.
 WIN, Noo Yawk Cit-ay, offered as one of it's features a program of old and new songs by the Leverich Three. This station boomed in at times and then faded out to almost nothing. We stayed to hear Every Little Bit Added to What You've Got Makes Just Little Bit More" and then we dragged, flashing over to WPG, Atlantic City,
 Where the Steeplechase Pier dance orchestra was entertaining. Who" and a variety of other num- bers was furnished. The volume at this station was almost ear-splitting at times, but every so often it kind Of folded up and faded away, only 10 return with a bang. We stood that foolishness for limited time, also.
 
 We heard Out in The New-Mown Hay" from two stations. MEAN, Providence, offered it as phono- graph selection, vocal, late in the afternoon, and WRN1, New York, presented it as a solo by Judy Roth in the evening. We liked Judy's rem dition the better of the two. She's pretty clever singer and you can some New York station or other. She also sang Sleepy Head" last evening. That new mown hay number-well we've forgotten what we were going 10 say. anyway.
 VEAL, Baltimore. the station that was never going to allow common dance tunes to soil it's wave, has finally capitulated and we heard two selections by the VEAL dance or chestra. no less. The station came through with as much volume and depth Of tone as usual and We en- joyed the music we heard Bundle Of Love" and After I Say I'm Sor- "" were two of the selections played.
 Among others we visited were KFUO, St Louis; WEAF, New York; WMSG, New York: a station where a violin solo almost drove us crazy and a station with terrible grunt. We kept the station and sent back the grunt.
 That's all for today. thanks,

Poholek Warned by Judge to
 Quit Selling Stuff

Mark Poholek, proprietor of a was fined S100 and costs and given a suspended jail sentence of 15 days on two counts of violation of the liquor law by Judge B. ". filling in police court this morning. The judge warned him that he will go to jail if he comes into court on this charge again, and advised him to get out of the beer business
 Detective Sergeant Ellinger and Sergeant O'Mara raided the place last Saturday afternoon and seized 56 bottles of beer which was anal yzed by a chemist and found to con- tain 2.79 per cent alcohol by volume and 2.25 per cent by weight. Com plaints have been received against the place, Sergeant Sllinger testified.
 Traffic Officer John C. Stadler testified that two employees of the Cedar Hill Dairy are in the restaur- ant considerably and are intoxicated.
 On July f, from 9 a. m. 10 2:30 D. m, 22 men went into the res taurant and 10 came out intoxicat- cd, he said
 Poholek said he bought the place seven weeks ago and he did not know the beer was stronger than the law allows. He pays s135 for two dozen and sells 1t for 10 cents a bottle. He does not know the name Of the party from whom he bought it.
 Case Continued.
 John Buda, aged g years, Of 295 High street, pleaded not guilty 10 the charge of assaulting his wife last Sunday. He said she called him bad names and he was provoked to strike her She drinks and encour- ages attention of other men, he said.
 Judge filling told him his trouble is that he cannot get along with his wife and he cannot get along with out her.
 The lasttime he was in court he was told to keep away from her. The judge scored him for leaving the employ of local factory soon after the probation officer was di- rected to collect his wages, but Buda replied that he sought other employment so he would not be obliged to work on Sunday.
 After a conference with Proba- tion Officer Connolly, Judge Alling said Mrs. Buda "got no more than she deserved and she can expect lit- tie sympathy from the court"
 She should not frequent places where there is intoxicating drink. Buda is more sinned against than the judge said, but he should keep away from his wife after he has learned that he gets into trouble every time he sees her. The case was continued until July 31.
