DUH 0lOtuCl pIooaNootChs AAA~~AAy WEBJ came back again and we left. They might have kept that up all night for all we know.
 The Saxophone Octet at WEAF. New York, which station came through with great din (no relation to Gunga) Every poor. very poor), provided interesting music. The sta- tion had tendency to fade gently. but we heard Asleep in the Deep" the bass sax taking the honors; Come, My Hearties." another song of the sea, and selections from "The Pearl Fishers"
 WICK, Detroit. was bothered to some extent by code, this being of the ordinary variety which predom- mates on the high wavelengths. There came a tenor and baritone duet of Sleepy Head" the voices blending pleasantly. Then the Blue Room orchestra played Just a Smile" and Dorothy" two sweet arrangements.
 An interesting deviation from the usual run of choir recitals took place at WLS, Chicago, where the Uniyer- sity of Chicago choir presented sa- cred music of all nations. We didn't get any of the names, but we were greatly interested to find that many 70 {N ofl foreign origination, some having their birth in Russia, while France and Italy also contribute many.
 We might say for the benefit of those of our radio audience, who are interested, that there was great mixup of stations all over the dials, with the result that we were able to hear about one-quarter Of what was going on. Nearly every station, no matter how loud, was accompanied | by the carrier wave whistle of some other transmitter.
 A sample of what stations were on the air a few minutes before 12 o'clock. This list takes in only the | upper half of the. dials, since a rough disturbance of some kind was l on when we tackled the lower wave lengths, and besides, there was such | a tumble down there that we lost heart. Among those we heard were XIV, WJBT. VOL, WHIT, WEBH. WAR, WBBM, WLS, and WOK. Chicago; WJR, Pontiac: WEAF, New York; WSB, Atlanta; WTAM, Cleveland; CHYC. Montreal; WLW, Cincinnati; WYNN, New York; WNJ, Newark; WMCA, New York, and WCCO. Minneapolis. All of the sta- , tions mentioned came through with 1 much greater volume than usual.
 At CHYC, Montreal, we ran across piano and guitar duet which sounded mighty pleasant to our ears. The station was strong and the music was sharp and clear. Loves Old Sweet Song" was played as a duet and then the pianist took things in hand, rendering Zez Confrey's composition, "Impromptu," which resembles ono of Confrey's usual numbers as a mosquito resembles a cock-eyed mule.
 A very tinny photograph was playing and that's why we stayed | with WPSC, State College, Pennsyl- vania. We wanted to find out the source of such radio disturbance. We'd suggest new photograph. Wow! It sounded like one of those dollar (sD machines people take to the seashore with them, only trifie worse.
 WHO, Des Moines, was 8 prize winner, bursting through like the sun after a rain storm. (Say. we're getting pretty fair at description. Let's write novel. All right, that's settled). A dance music, with much depth and color of tone, offered Freezing Along With The Breeze just as word was flashed from an adjoining room that someone might possibly be trying to sleep, but that we shouldn't bother on their ac- count. "Go right ahead. Don't mind us," and other light sarcastic phrase We decided in favor of the opposition.
 That's all for today. thanks!
