paper will never be born in print. We might add that conditions early Sat urday evening were just as bad as they were late. WAAM. Newark, struggled through clear and com pact, offering a baritone soloist in a well chosen group of songs, coin cdence to be sure. Friend of Mine," Don't You Mind the Sor- row" and Conquered" were three of the numbers. His rendition of them left nothing to be desired, ex- cept nice dance music program to drag us out of the slough of despond.
 WSM, Nashville, came in with two playmates, making things rather jumbled up. AS result, we had diff ficulty in making out what was go- ing on at the Nashville station, al- though it was loud enough.
 WIZ presented another Student Symphony program. We didn't re- main any longer than was necessary, since we were only desirous of find- ing out how the station acted. It came through well, with plenty of volume and no fading. WIZ has been behaving itself much bedder-r of late.
 WIZ and WEAF and their chains monopolized the dials Saturday eve ming and it was possible to hear each program about fl times and in all sorts and stages Of transmission, ranging from excellent to something approaching owful.
 WTAM, Cleveland, was extra loud, although we encountered fading at that station. Ev Jones and his or chestra were present and we heard Am I Wasting My Time On You?" Ev has become quite the announcer and he is adopting style of profess sional jollity, if that means anything ti you. and we don't like it so well. That last sentence really isn't as bad as it looks. Just spend few minutes on it and you won't have much trouble.
 Among others We heard were WLS and kYW, Chicago; WHO'D and WMBF, Miami Beach; VICES, and WNYC, New York. WBZ, WPG, WTAG, WGY, WTIC, MEAN and WOR.
 The daylight hours yesterday weren't so bad. There didn't seem to be the usual Sunday interference and we missed it. We hit WBZ for the Salem band concert and the Big Blooper hit the station at about the same time. He stayed there for some time, whizzing back and forth and wailing great walls, in which he was accompanied by about three fourths of the city's regenerative sets. We just sat there and grinned. Oh, how we grinned. And what we didn't say! We have received several suggestions regarding the matter of ridding the air of that Blooper, but all of them are too harsh for publication here. Cant someone think of something in sdious? Don't crack wise and say, "Halitosis."
 WOAX, Trenton, N. J., came in from somewhere early in the eve ming and we listened to a successful rendition of waltz medley from The Student Prince" The orchestra wasn't the best in the world and neither was it the worst. It was just a darned good all around band. The station came in loud.
 WHO, Des Moines. came in on our | own set at about $40 o'clock, but it wasn't so very loud. An orchestra played a medley of some kind of tunes, which lasted for easily 15 min- utes, deducting the usual fees for drafting and blue-printing. Soon after the exhaustive musicians were l carried from the studio in state of collapse a baritone soloist was an- nounced. We darted away like the dickens.
 WLW, Cincinnati, and WG1, Sche- | nectady. were very loud all evening. The former offered church services when we tuned in and the latter pre- sented a classical program.
 
 That's all for today, thanks'
