E. B. |. ANNOUNCES
 CHANCE OF POLICY
Meetings on Sunday Will Start
 15 Minutes Earlier

A change in policy Of Everyman' s afternoon by President Clarence c. Palmer, as result of the meeting yesterday morning, when the speak CT D. David D. Vaughan, was com pelled to stop before he had com pleted his address.
 MT. Palmer announced that henceforth during his term as presi- dent the class will open at 9:15 o'clock Sunday mornings instead of 9:30 and that by special arrange ments with Charles H. Clarkson, conductor of the orchestra, the or chestra will start to play at g o'clock instead of 9:15.
 The change was brought about after Mr. Palmer had received sev- eral complaints that too much time was wasted in preliminary an- nouncements, and by statement made by Dr. Vaughan on the plat form, Its 27 minutes after 10 and I'm only half through"
 Mir. Palmer stated yesterday that all preliminary announcements, singing, and other music will be completed in the first Is minutes of the program and the speaker will have a whole hour instead of half hour from now on. This will prac- tically eliminate any announcements by the president. It may have the effect of reviving the class paper, which was started when R. B. Skin ner was president to take care of announcements and which was sus- pended last April. The new executive committee has already appointed committee to ascertain the possibili- ties of reviving the paper or start ing a new one.
 At some future date, not yet de- cided concert will be given by the New Britain Musical club under the auspices of the class. At that time the class will purchase a sustaining membership in the musical club which will be presented to the nurses at the training school of New Britain General hospital.

Through he Static

What with the World Series games
 and such and such over the week
 end, it proved 10 be a pretty busy
 time on the air. Conditions on Sat
 urday evening were in keeping with | the few days preceding it, with lots
 of buzz, volume rather weak and not l too much ambition on the part of stations. Last night was just the op- posite. There was plenty of volume and there was almost no buzz mo-
 ticeable, while Chicago stations came
 through with deafening force. There
 was little static, not much. A program by MT. Nedworthy, champion harmonica player of New l England, was broadcast without dis l tortion and very loud by WBZ, | Springfield, on Saturday evening. NIT. Nedworthy is welcome to the title. 1 We won't contest it after hearing him operate. He presented a variety
 of jigs and reels and made us think we were listening to an accordion. He also played a special selection on an instrument IS inches long and , two inches wide, a rather enlarged harmonica. We can't set down the l title of the selections here because we didn't get it. "The Italians Re- i turn" was another, so that evens 1t
 up. He had some queer-titled selec-
 tions though, for fact.
 CKCL, Toronto, surprised us con- siderably by making itself agreeable
 to such an extent that we heard several entertaining dance selections, among which was Barcelona" The i final number was, of course, God
 Save The King" which concludes every program emanating from a | Canadian station.
 | Hugh Pennock, the Yankee pitch CT in Saturdays World Series game,
 received a great wad of credit from the sports editor of the Pittsburgh
 Post in the summary of the days game given from KDkA late in the
 evening. The talk, besides being in | formation, was interesting and well arranged. IL was not confined to dry
 statistics. He went along just as if l he were describing the game first
 hand and we enjoyed it from his point of view.
 Out at WORD, Batavia, Illinois,
 the announcer took it upon himself to describe road conditions in about
 every state in the Union except the
 Atlantic seaboard. We like to say
 seaboard, it sounds so nautical. Well, we listened ti the road reports of | Wilconsin, Illinois, Indiana and
 Michigan, and then it started to get tiresome. If he had had an orches- tra playing soft music in the back ground, it would have been better | but he didn't. Just when it was be- coming unbearable and we were be- ginning to give little screeches of a
 slightly maniacal variety, the an- nouncer came to himself and an- nounced an orchestra selection. See,
 we knew an orchestra had been hid ing around there somewhere. The
 WORD orchestra played "Gradua-
 tion March" Very good, and the
 station came in loud, amid lots of
 snapping and cracking.
 l Light Opera hits were broadcast | by WEAF, New York, and we heard If You Were Only Mine, Dear," from '"The Singing Girl.
 WEAF came through loud, but | lots of buzzing was with it and We didn't stay long. CFCF, Montreal; | WMAF, South Dartmouth; WHN,
 New York, and WTAM, Cleveland,
 were well represented on Saturday.

ies games came through well, botl on Saturday and yesterday. Graham McNamee and Phillips Carlin kepr the fans well informed and in gooC humor with their witty remarks Good stuff, and we anXiously await the game tomorrow.
 
 The Capitol Family kept us occu. pied for a while from WJAR, Provi- dence, last evening, the program amanating from WEAF, New York Wednesday and Sunday are our eve nings for WJAR, since We can't bring in that station when WTIC is broadcasting. They're only seven me ters apart, eastern standard time. By the way, there was buzzing the early part of last evening, but, after the street lamps got warmed up we didn't mind it so much. It was some thing of a novelty not to have that racket pounding in our ears all eve ming.
 WGY, Schenectady. faded to some extent Organ music from the Pres byterian church. was offered and transmission was excellent.
 
 WBZ, was full of zeros for a while. We tuned in on a political talk, real old time blood and fire affair, in which the speaker was arguing heatedly for the election of Senator Butler, or against it, we don't know which. Then a violinist took the air with a classical pro- gram, the announcer dealing out names unpronouncable. Pretty soon there appeared on the eastern hori- Zon a female singer. The announcer rattled off a name We didn't under stand, and We don't think he did, either. Then the singer sang what the announcer said she was going to sing-in foreign language. That's out.
 KDKA, Pittsburgh offered services from the Calvary Episcopal church, the station fading slightly at times. The remarks of the minister about broadcasting were interesting.
 VEAL, Baltimore, was afflicted with an attack Of that dread disease known as Faditis. The concert or chestra offered several well played selections, among them being Tn The Starlight" and Coleridge-Taylors Fatigue Suite" in three movements. We also made three movements, namely tuning in, staying there, and tuning out.
 There seemed to be considerable dance music on the air. WTAM, Cleveland, presented Guy Lombar dos orchestra, there being consider able volume most of the time. WNJ, Newark, very loud, presented the Paradise Ballroom orchestra, and most of the Chicago stations had dance tunes simewhore in their menus. WGN, Chicago, presented several very religious numbers and then jumped right into dance music.
 WHIT, Chicago, with a trombone solo, brought us right into the studio, volume and clarity reached such a high pitch. WIN, New ork, crash ed through, at 11:30, with dance music, although the station tied it. self up in a knot considerable. woe, Davenport, came through loud with a piano solo, and there was consid- erable activity of a popular nature on the low wavclengths.

Visitor Is Here
From England

Mrs. McCulloch Jones of Man
chester, England, arrived this morn
ing in FL Centre to visit her niece
Mrs. I. Mayficld, wife of Justice
Mayfield. Mrs. Jones sailed from
Southampton, December on the
Berengaria. coming here by the
southern route and surprising her
relatives as she was not expected
here until later sailing.
While Mrs. Jones has lived for
the past % years in England, much
of her life before that was spent in
Pennsylvania. Mrs. Mayfield S
grandfather, Gilbert McCulloch, who
was Forty,Niner, was connected
as an engineer with the Pennsyl-
vania railroad and a number of de.
vices adopted by that road were in
vented by him. Despite the fact
that she has lived in the east and
crossed the ocean II times, the visi-
tor has never been in the west nor
upon the Pacific coast. She is also
tho great aunt of Mrs. Horace VIII
liams of this city. Mrs. Jones ex-
pects to remain here and on the
coast for several months.

Kansas Dentists
Becoming Expert
In Many Lines

KANSAS CITY, Dee. oO.-Local
dentists have launched into the field
of ''vocal anaesthctics to distract
the minds of the patients from the
work the dentist is doing.
Perhaps it was some barber who
tipped dentist off to this method
of keeping patient s mind on
something else at any rate the To-
cal doctors are becoming expert
cOnversationalists.
One dentist in particular, DR.. Lvn-
val Davidson is noted for his yer.
satility of conversation. If the pa
ticnt is interested in music, this den
tist can carry on a very interesting
discussion as he has studied voice,
plays the piano and violin. If the
patient is interested in taxidermy
he will find the dentist has di-
ploma in this field; art elicits the
information that the dentist has
made study of water colors, cera-
mics, oil and statuettcs in bronze,
wood and plaster.

More Liquor Is
Seized by Officers

Nine deputies of the sheriff s of
flee stepped out Sunday, three de-
puties to a car and confinng their
activities to Calipatria, made five
arrests before the day was over and
seized a considerable store of
liquor that was evidently intended
for the holiday trade.
o. T. Quick, Al, blacksmith, was
arrested with case of moonshinc in
his possession. L. n. Barton, 80,
and Angelina Ross, colored, also had
liquor, according to the raiding of
ficers. w. c. Lester, who operates
rooming house and restaurant
there and who had just been releas-
ed from the county Jail after de-
posting $500 bail following his re-
cent arrest with about 500 bottles
of beer and several gallons of
moonshine, is again in custody, this
time with charge of possessing
two and one-half gallons of the IL
licit fluid. ID. +. Hockey, 61, round
ed out the list of those arrested.
