 musicians are well trained. A swee
 band if there ever was one.
 The "To-Be- Weds' held theil
 weekly joust at WIZ and WBZ. We
 listened in at the latter station and had the time of our life. It seem:
 that Jack and Dorothy went to the early show last night and then went 1 to her home where they were tc
 have supper. Dorothy was to cook supper and one of the articles oi food on the menu was to be lamh chops, but they got into an argu-
 ment and the chops burned. Dot wanted to go on the stage in order
 to help finances along after they were married and Jack objected in
 his usually peppery vein. When they found the chops were burned they decided to go to an Italian restau-
 rant The picture that started the discussion concerned the Follies and life on the stage. Fresh and vivid are these half-hour presentations | pie are coming to look for them and enjoy them.
 CKCX, Toronto, about 291 me- ters, was extremely loud. but clarity was missing. due to the fact that the
 wave was messed up in that of some other transmitter. A Miss Fox played a cello solo, the title of which We lost. We tried for about five min 1 utes to bring the station in without
 interference, but being unsuccessful, | we gave up in despair.
 NCAC, Storrs, was also very loud and why shouldn't it be? They were staging an exciting basketball game up there between the Aggies and the Coast Guards. When we left the score was Aggies, 29; Coast Guard, 24, and they were fighting like maniacs. The announcer was an in 1 teresting sort of chap and he seemed to know his onions, as the
 old saying goes. He just forgot that
 he was talking into microphone 1 and waxed as enthusiastic as could
 be. Interference from other stations caused howls, whistles and distor- ton after while. We were discour- aged again.
 Back to WBZ where the Boston
 Bruins and the Detroit Cougars were lighting tooth and nail at the Bos- ton Arena. Hockey, as you know, is
 affected by excitement, especially if you hear the game through WBZ. It was so realistically reported last evening that we felt the sticks crack us on the shins several times. The crowd went crazy when the Bruins won, 20.
 Our idea Of nothing at all Is a
 bridge lesson over the radio. It's bad enough then, but when the bridge lesson is given in French, we give up. CFCF, Montreal, 40 meters, pro- vided such a thrill last evening and we sat spellbound for about 10 min utes as the speaker rattled along at an express-train rate of speed. We imagine that it was given in English later. The station was all too loud, considering the feature that was offered.
 
 CKCL, Toronto, also very loud last night being excellent for the Canadians, offered a dance program by the Hottentots. They played Mary Lou" just to be funny. Then came a solo on a harmonica, my goodness, which was called "Cherie I Love You" Delightful, my dears
 simply delightful.
 The Maiden Cadet band from WNAC. Boston, closed its program
 with Yankee Doodle" Since that
 number can be played in only one
 way, we'll say it was well presented.
 We failed to hear any other offer lngS Dy the Ddlu.
 We listened to George Olsen and his orchestra through WBZ, al
 though we tried WIZ and found the
 station wanting. Code came in at WIZ and WBZ was suffering from stoppitis. That is, the music came in slick for a few minutes and then stopped suddenly, to resume in a few seconds. This difficulty was rem edied after a while. High, High Up in The Hills" Yankee Rose' and
 Sam, The Old Accordion Man" were among the numbers played in the well known Olsen style. A Cuban love song, for violin and banjo, was
 presented during one of the inter-
 missions This was a sweet little number and was well done. XIV. Chicago, and WICK, Detroit, came through well, to say nothing of l voc, Davenport; WRC, Washing ton; WTAM, Cleveland; WEBH, l Chicago and about 55 others. VEAL,
 Baltimore, acted very bad at about
 s o'clock, fading terribly and twist ing all out of shape.
 That's all for today, thanks, P. F. l..
