Through fife Static

| There was good selection last evening, and plenty of volume, and mean sounding, biting, snappine static with beveled edges, and lots ot 1 things too fierce to mention. There was a lot of material on the air and there was cat fight out in our back yard, which we broke up by the simple expedient of hurling 8 large bottle, forcibly, but not especially we'll aimed. All of which has noth- | ing what the so ever to do with radio. Somehow or other we didn't have a great deal of luck with the Far West. Chicago boomed out long and lovingly, but my goodness, one can't live on that.
 The early part of the evening was spent in experimenting with a three tube (sh-h-h-h regenerative) set, which oscillated continually. That's $ the trouble with some of those homemade affairs. One has to be 6 stationary engineer to operate 'em.
 
 near several hours and we didn't i learn the secret of dispensing with the regeneration. We have since written a letter of apology to the three neighbors near the house in which we were working, since 1t was in a sparsely settled section of the town, back in the days of the pardy hioneers. But never mind, it was all in the interest of science. Finding that we could induce the set to be- have itself by standing on one foot, taking a deep breath and holding it until we began to see little flicker ing lights before our eyes, we took advantage Of the break and. twirling the dials, brought in New Haven. The Roger Sherman orchestra was on the air. It seems that we could cut out the oscillation by confining our activities to the several stations between 260 and 290 meters, so we worked in that vicinity. Rushing in again we dragged out WICC, Bridge port, by the neels. looked l, aver rather disgustedly and threw I. pack in the pile. It didn't sound so good, for some reason or other.
 
 We advised the owner of the set to have repair man look at It. after we got through with it-and he has decided to do so. The affair should free itself from oscillation much more readily than it does. At the present time the owner isn't get

ting a great deal of enjoyment out radius of 37 point miles aren't either. After he has 1t fixed we're going to do 8 little bit of missionary | work and teach him how to operate it. Loud applause. Presenting of Carnegie Medal to valiant column writer.)
 Later in the evening we returned to our own freside and were pre- scented with shower bouquet of static and electrical noises tied pret- tily with a blue-polka-dot ribbon. WBZ offered a late evening program 1 by Ernie Andrews and his Broadway l Troubadours, so we remained with | that station for ever so long. The band was in rare form and the sta tion was transmitting like the old
 veteran 1t is. Tt Made You Happy
 When You Made Me Cry and Where Do You Work-a John?" to- gether with thousands of others,
 made up an attractive program. Hot? Oh. my! There was one num- 1 Der, called Trumpet Blues" which
 was played by the trumpeter, accom-
 panied by the pianist. That fellow
 played the dirtiest, hottest, embalm-
 ingest music we can think of. The music was soft and absolutely insin- uating. A clear, true tone through out, with trick stuff over all. Crazy Words, Crazy Tune" Blue Skies"
 Stampede" and Because I Love
 You" were others. But Ernie, don't sing any more. Please, old fellow don't sing and don't allow the boys to sing. Please don't Gee, you know, Ernie, it doesn't sound good. Be good guy will yuh, Ernie? Tell 'em not to sing any more. Y'ain't sore,
 Ernie, are you? No harm done is they? All right, that's a good guy. Just a friendly tip, cause your mu-
 sic is great, and the singin' spells it, honest, Ernie.
 The weather report, always treat ed as a big feature at WHIT, Chicago, | ana dl"dSS eIuDelllSueu "lLu IloNei effects and stunts, came for plenty last evening. The orchestra, as
 usual, played away off in the back
 ground, using the songs identified with every section of the country
 mentioned in the extensive sum-
 mary of probable weather condi-
 tions. In addition, the announcer
 called upon an Englishman and a Irishman to read the report in their own dialects, and then he called up-
 on a Frenchman and an Italian 10 read portion of the report in their own native languages. In introducing the Englishman the announcer said that he would read in English. T don't know what it's all about, but perhaps you may" he said, and the audience fell out of the seats and rolled in the aisles convulsed, abso- lutely convulsed with laughter. The station came through very loud and exceptionally clear. In fact, all Chi cago stations were loud last night.

FOR PUBLIC UTILITIES

This Legislature simply cannot convince itself that the public utili- ties of the state need any remedial legislation whatever. Whenever somebody gets a bill nicely worded. having for it's object an attempt to help the public control the public utility situation to better advantage, along comes something knocking the idea into wrockage.
 As everyone knows. or ought to know, orders is orders. J. Henry is interested in power and plenty of it; and he has power in the Legis- lature as well as power flowing through wires.
 Which is by way of emphasizing another defeat on the utility salient for those who would like to make them more amenable to public ob- servation. To wit: The house rc- Jected the bill providing that lists Of taxable property Of public utili- ties be filed with the state tax con- missioner as vel, as with towns where the property is located"
 The trouble about the bill was it looked as if 1t contained q pinch Of dynamite.

R1DICJLE BESCENDS UPON WEST CHESTER

There are some people, calling themselves Americans. who would suppress everybody and everything they did not agree with. Instead Of subscribing to the doctrine that truth crushed 10 earth will rise again. they prefer 10 bar, prohibit and prevent any discussion whatever that might trot forward the side of an argument which they oppose.
 Thus We find that at West Chcs- ter, Pa. the state normal Liberal club has been suppressed. The American Legion post in that town is credited with having had hand in if, thus earning the spirited con demnation of American Legion posts in Washington, New York, and else- were fired. i. seems, for discussing evolution,
 II is hard 10 believe that such things can occur in America; but We have had the farcical monkey trial' in Dayton.

 The Nicaraguan policy Of the gov condemned by thousands of Ameri- can newspapers: so far no aelf-ap pointed throttiers of a free press have attempted to hamstring the newspaper editors. IL isn't because they would not wish 10 do so, how ever, but because the press offers a much more difficult nut 10 crack Such little clubs as that which exist ed in West Chester, however, are easier to tackle. except that the pub lici'y aroused usually goes much further and has a much more telling effect than the embryonic discussion in q little students club.
