 fretful sort of static that got it. self mixed into everything. It sound ed more like a stone crusher than anything else, consisting less of crashes than it did of an effect that reminded us to order more coal for the furnace before it gets too late. We didn't notice any fading to speak of.
 The air was filled with dance mu- sic. Nearly every station offered two or three dance orchestras, and we had the opportunity of hearing all kinds, good. bad and indifferent, as q saying goes.
 The Chicago Civic Opera com- panys broadcast of "Rigoletto" was It would have attracted attenion whether or not we had desired to listen to it, since it was coming from many. many stations scattered all over the dials. From away up the line to the lowest edges of the dial ing system, the melodies of "Rigo- letto" popped out from unexpected places. The chorus and solo work were remarkable.
 WOR. Newark. was not only loud: it was extremely deep. The station came through with the bass notes heavily accented. An organ recital came in in all it's glory of tone color, and a dance orchestra, later on, was reproduced more or less faithfully.

Down on the lower register, l WOWO, Fort Wayne, Indiana, came through with more force than we thought possible. X dance orchestra played and an announcer who took his work very seriously, explained just what everything was about. Once in a while the station took q walk and left us flat. Then we had to hunt for it and tune it in all over again.
 CNRO, Ottawa, extremely loud, so loud that ot put WJR, Detroit, into the background most of the time, transmitted Christmas messages to ! members of the force" in the Arc tic, most of them being located in the Yukon territory. Good wishes from relatives and friends to the men at the Canadian Northwest Mounted Police posts in those far reaches were sent via radio. One message was accompanied by the re- quest that neighbors pick it up and
 
 directed because it was believed that the latter had no batteries.
 The new feature" with new ideas in broadcasting,' etc., etc, so forth and infnitum came over the red network last night and was generally heard hereabouts over
 
 not strike us as being very good. It was simply that the deluge of mu- sic kept going all the time and no titles of selections played were given. It was just like when the orchestra plays during a vaudeville show, with nobody knowing exactly what all the furore is about. In about five min- utes the steady flood of sound got monotonous. We think the public is interested in knowing what it is hearing and is at liberty to tune out such programs, thus declining to be the goat for such smart -aleck pro- gram makers.
 We also heard WMCA, WGY, WBBM, WLIB, WLW, WIZ, WEAF, WTIC, VICES, WBZ, WSAI, kDKA, WNAC.

 The Cities Service concert orches- tra and male quartet, scheduled for tonight at s o'clock from WTIC, will have it's usual interesting pro- gram to present. That feature will be followed. at 9 o'clock, by the Anglo Persians. The lighter classics are well done by both organizations, al- though each has it own distinct style, and the fans should be in for an interesting hour and a half.
