usually listen through WDRC. Hi. deep voice and his strange inflec, tions make of him an unusual per. sonality, and his weird pronuncia ] tion Of some of the titles Of dance tunes. accompanied by something or snicker. are bound to keep one ir good humor. Of course, Ernie # backed up by a capable band. ! The Cities Service program through WTIC. started off with q bang, the customary selection, d march, being presented by the by ! this-time well known concert or chestra. IL seemed that the group of selections from The Fortune Teller" was played trife better than usual. The Fortune Teller IS name heard nearly every night from one station or another, The musical selections from that pro duCtion are much in demand and much in use.
 Wl3Z, its transmission improved of late, took us to New York where the Stenographers and their dance orchestra provided their weekly en- tertainment. End the Day with a smile" and When the Season Rolls By were two of the numbers q so- prano singing the chorus of the first mentioned selection. Dean Dickin- son began his talk, 'Let Us See the World" with q poetic selection. We moved along 10
 WOR, Newark. where light opera ensemble was in the act of presenting selections from Victor Herbert's "Sweethearts.' The sta ton struck little interference from that buzz we mentioned.
 
 We ran into difficulties when we struck WEAF. The Musical Minia- lures period was being offered and, while we enjoyed the music and the sound of the announcers voice, we made no effort to attempt 10 un- derstand the titles Of the selections played. The tenor solOist possessed strikingly clear voice that sounded like a million dollars (s1, ,000,000) in cold, hard cash.
 We heard Dew, Dew, Dewy Day twice in rapid succession. once from WJAR, Providence, and once from VEAL, Baltimore, making a grand total of twice. if figures do not de ccive LIS. The Hawaiian Four Ser enaders played it from the Prori- dence station in company with she Hasn't Told Me and I Haven't Told Her" while it was vocalized at WBAL. WJAR came through rath- CT timdly. WBAL had a tough job keeping its head above water in that mob of stations down on 2S5 meters. There aren't so many, but they spread out something terrible at times.
 Pianologues by a Miss Caldwell or Coldwell, or Goldwell, or some thing, came through crisply from WTAM, Cleveland, the powerful sta ton living up to expectations, more or less, The solos were interesting and we'll handled, including euch numbers as T Wish for You" and Take Me Back to Babyland." WING, Asheville. North Caro- in loud as if it had been there all the time. The Merry Merrymakers, and nothing can be merrier than thai. presented "Ain't She Sweet?' and Flirting With You.' Loud, clear, everything.
 WBBM. Chicago. was heard, q dance orchestra rattling off more or less popular dance music. WRNA, Richmond. presented piano duets, among them being Yesterday "Swanee River" and 'Home, Sweet Home" Others heard were WBZ, WKBO, WGY, WRC, WEEl and WJR.
 AS we said, at o'clock this morning We tuned in and were sur prised to hear a station booming through loud and clear on a wave length about comparable with that of WOR. Band selections were being presented. and the music wasn't interfered with by the slight est disturbance. The station proved to be the Bell Telephone test sta ton located somewhere i'll New Jer- sey and bearing the call letters 3-XN. The concluding number on the program was Lights Out. Monograph records, but excellent ones. AS far as We could make out it was the only station on the air,
 That's all for today, thanks!
