paragraph at about 7:S0 o'clock Wednesday evening, even though it is halfway down the column, As we look out of the window we see thm- der heads, in ponderous array. mass ing themselves in the western sky. What the evening will bring forth. we don't know, but conditions have been calm enough so far, Aside from the usual multifarious local dis .turbances there has been nothing to mar reception. We took cognizance Of the fact that WTAG. Worcester, up on its new wavelength, while it seems to come through louder, is almost continually swamped by code.
 And we have just tuned in dance music just above WHN, New York, which is located on S61 meters. you know. The station we are listening to now is no more than two points above WIN, and is just bit below WDAF, Kansas City. And, at the conclusion of a Spanish number, we learn that it is MEAN, Providence. Mercy me! But the station comes through no whit better than it did on its old wave, and We are of the opinion that it has lost some of its volume by the change.
 Part Of the broadcast of the Pittsburgh-Bosto big league game came through from WNAC, Boston, late in the afternoon. We didn't stay there very long, because we just wanted to find out how stations were coming through in the after noon, and it was much cooler out side, really. The station came through modestly, that is, not too loud. There were several local aero battles on the air at that time.
 From WBz, Springfield, came a program by Bert Dolan's Musical Mirth Makers, the final program of the season, by the way. We've just discovered that we need a shave. Pardon us.x XXX Xx Back again after 10 minutes with the lawn now CT. IttBdIuIIlS LuS Nlll LII hlShhclS' they offered refreshing program of nonsense, interspersed with music. We didn't care a great deal for the baritone soloist, since he attempted unsuccessfully to pattern himself after the dreamy" soloist, so well known to those who attend vaude- vile. Maybe he would have sound ed all right on the stage, but we didn't enjoy it over the air. In fact, he was so dreamy that he almost went to sleep. Among the numbers were Whispering Trees" Her Bows Are Only Rainbows," etc., etc., and so forth.
 MA, Arlington, came through exceptionally loud with the evening time signals, accompanied by music, screeches, rasps, roars and static, all together an interesting broadcast.
 That's all for today, thanks!

BRIDGEPORT WIDOW l DUPED OF S3O,OOOI
"COn" Man Gets Her Money,
 She Has His Promise

Baltimore, Aug. 5 - How a Bridgeport widow was swindled out of her life savings and property amounting to s30.00O by a confi- dence man after he had promised to marry the widow was disclosed today in an investigation made here by detectives after an ex- animation of the estate of Mrs. Carrie Richards. daughter of Mrs. Louis Morse of Bridgeport.
 Headquarters detectives here who investigated the case believe the swindler and his confederates oper- ated from this city and that the name of Morgan college was used to induce Mrs. Richards to intrust her wealth to a man known as G. w. Todd, alias Dr. Wilson, alias the Rev. W. Todd.
 Charles H. Burns, captain of de- tectives, received complaint and a request for an investigation from Mrs. Morse and P. J. Flanagan, Bridgeport police superintendent. The local investigation is said to have established clearly that Todd never had any interest in the Nor gan college properties.
 Morgan college is a negro insti- tuition in the northeastern suburbs. A picture of the college and news paper clippings of it's sale were used to deceive Mrs. Richards, de- tectives said. Mrs. Richards died a year ago.
 Four years ago, according to in- vestigation recently made in Bridge port, Todd took an apartment at Mrs. Richards home. He is alleged to have represented himself as physician, lawyer and minister. He was supposed to be interested in realty deals. Mrs. Richards and Todd are reported to have become engaged, an she began to trust her financial affairs to him. Small transactions did not appear to in terest Todd. and he is alleged 10 have importuned Mrs. Richards to turn her investments into cash and permit him to invest the money.

Through fife Static

Another queer one chalked up on the ledger. Last night began pretty fair, but static finally won out and, aided and abetted by its bosom friend, that old time humming buzz that We used to have about 1t, put over it's stuff in "A" No. 1 fashion. The static grew in volume and quantity as the evening wore along.
 An excellent program of songs was presented by the Imperial Little Imps from WIZ. The big Imps, or whatever they are called, are on their vacations, and we say that their little sons or friends or some thing can put things over just as we'll as their big brothers or their fathers or whatever it is, and. that the home fires will be kept burning in good shape, so don't worry, and tell Annie to make Little Willie wear his rubbers. Among the numbers were that darned Red Robbin song, This Is My Lucky Day. 'No Foolin'," Meet Me in Old sPhilly- Billy" the dumbest song on record, with the exception of about 92,S49 others that we could name without any trouble and even then we would be just starting on life long propo- sition, and "Roamin In The Gloamin'," Harry Lauder's old standby, which was sung in excellent dialect.
 So much for that.
 They flunked a note on the Aud Lang Syne" signoff at WTIC last night. Did you notice it?
 As usual, the low waves bore the brunt of the statical outrages. We puttered around there for awhile noticing that there was a great scar city of material down there, some thing unusual One Of the Montreal stations on 40 meters, we don know whether it was CFCF or CNRM, was sending out some dance music shortly after II o'clock. DO You Believe in Dreams?" being one of the numbers.
 WIZ. New York, blossoming through very loud late in the eve ming, offered Freddie Rich and his orchestra in "On The Riviera with Brokenshire furnishing the sunshine Just minute, we'll see what else they have to offer there. Well, eX- treme clarity, for one thing, and a short breakdown. for another. It was only for a few seconds, though. A decidedly mixed up orchestration of a familiar number. the name slips us now, was being played when we ran back again. Oh, yes, Mountain Greenery.' And now, NO Foolin'," !" with a chummy vocal chorus. And Freddie's violin was perfect as usual.

New Operating Method.

Courtesy and efficiency are the most
Important factors in the new operating
method placed in effect at Rockville by
the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Company. J. L. Strictly. manager of the
company. on being asked concerning the
new practice whereby the operator says
Thank you" instead of repeating the
number called for by the subscriber as here
tofore. said. The new operating method
that has been in effect for the past few
days marks another advance in telephone
operating methods. ...t
This new practice. known as restricted
repetition generally does away with the
operator repeating the number after il is
received from the subscriber. Instead Of
repeating the number as formerly. the
operator says thank you. II is believed
that this practice will meet with almost
universal approval OF every telephone user,
since il will increase the efficiency of the
operating force which means u quicker
service.
People generally speak clearly and dis
tinctly in giving the number of the tele-
phone wanted and ii is felt that with the
new operating practice in effect. the pub
lie will be well pleased. However. In case
OF doubt as TO the number wanted as she
understands it. the operator will repeat as
formerly. what number. pleaseH' In the
greater majority Of cases. however. she will
merely say thank you and complete the
call or give definite report
Under this new operating method calls
can be established much quicker than
heretofore. which means an improved ser
vice for the subscriber. and we believe
that everyone will accept this operating
practice in the spirit of courtesy and eff
cheney as il is intended by the MANAGE
ment of the company.
while the amount Of time saved on
each individual call is not great. in the
aggregate the time saved will amount to
considerable in establishing connections by
the operators. Il 10 distinctly an advance
ment in telephone operating methods.
