The program was a well-rounded one and the group stopped at many interesting spots in that city. Throughout the program no titles of musical numbers were given, which gave more time for the presentation of the program, to be sure, but which left the radio audience in the dark as to the names of many of the selections. Of course, we recognized Silver Threads Among the Gold" Moonlight and Roses" and The Rosary" as sung by the Trouba- dour, and "Channon Sans Paroles" " Tn Already" Don't Forget" and Sad Eyes as offered by the Jon gleurs, but there were many which escaped us.
 The "A" battery started to filter and flutter shortly before 10 o'clock and so We put on the charger for Q bout an hour. Things were coming through so well that We wanted to try our luck after midnight, at which time we again resumed operations. WIS, Chicago, beating all volume | records, offered a cute little blues singer in a group of popular selec- tions. Later somebody's orchestra offered some old, rehashed numbers, such as Horses" and "Muehlenberg Joys" The selections weren't played any too well.
 From CNRO at Ottawa came mu- sic by the Chateau Laurier dance or chestra. This program came through extremely loud and the or chestra presented the music in a decidedly civilized manner, more melodious than hot" if you get our meaning. A mong the numbers were Honeymoon Waltz" and Hi Diddle- -Diddle." God Save The King" wah played at the conclusion of the program, as usual.
 We shopped around a bit finding that WLW, Cincinnati. was very loud, as were XIV, Chicago; WHIT, Chicago; WTAM. Cleveland; the re- mainder Of the Chicago stations, and 1 WHO, Des Moines.
 Although there has been nc definite announcement to that effect it is expected that the middleweight championship bout between Tiger Flower and Harry Greb will be broadcast tonight by WMSG, New York, direct from the ringside at Madison Square Garden. The station is located at the garden and it has been it's policy to broadcast all notable events, The space set aside for S:15 o'clock is marked Ito be announced" so it is altogether like ly that this feature will be inserted. If you folks are interested, we'd ad- wise you to hover around WMSG' S wavelength so that some definite an- nouncement may be heard. That's the best we can do for you,
 That's all for today. thanks! P E, L.

Razor Hone EXplodes
 As Man Is Using It

New London, Dec. 16. - Daniel Higgins, AZ. 119 Golden street was injured in his room early yesterday morning when a combination razor strop and hone exploded while he was stropping razor. The force of the explosion drove several splinters of wood deeply into the palm of the left hand and the index and second finger of the same hand were se- verely lacerated Splinters of wood also cut Higgins on the right arm and face. He was taken to the Lena hospital for treatment.
 The base of the razor strop is of wood and the handle screws into the end. Higgins said he had not applied the razor more than twice when the explosion followed as loud as a shot from revolver the sound alarming other roomers in the house. Examination of the shat tered hone leads to the belief that the tightening of the strop was re- Sponsible for the explosion.
