Through he Static

We had nice crop Of static last evening, brought on, doubtless by the dubiousness of the weather There were plenty of stations on the air, but there seemed to be many mixups in receptions and We didn't
 try any but absolutely sure stations Threre seemed to be quite a bit of
 fading. All in all, not the best radio
 night in the world.
 Our portable radio set will come
 into use next Saturday when we at tend the Yale-Army football game at New Haven. Our seats, at a championship fight, would proba ply
 be called "ringside,' but, as things
 are now, we will sit in back of the
 goal posts in about the last row in
 the bowl. So we solved the problem
 by deciding to take along the set and
 tuning in on WDRC, New Haven, in
 order to get the game. Another good way to get the game would be to stay at home and listen to 1t, or to
 wait until the next days papers come out.
 Back to a more or less rational
 frame of mind, we pass comment on the Trinity College dialogue that came through from WTIC, Hartford. Its title was What We Know About The Atom,' and it was carried on by two professors of physics. What we know about the atom is appar- ently plenty. at least, enough to make said atom wish it had led a. more sensible and subdued life. The voices transmitted well.
 WT1C, in an effort to get truer re- production of musical sounds, has ripped up the carpets in both stu dios. It has been decided to try out that system and to find out wheth- CT or not broadcasting will be im- proved. Experimental Antenna No. is in operation at the present time, also, and fans may rest assured that the station is doing everything to give them the best quality of radio available.
 The Air Weavers were heard from WEAF, New York, offering a popu- lar program. A dance orchestra rem dered Roam On. My Little Gypsy Sweetheart" and the hlack-face comedians sang We've Got a Bar gain.' Their cross- fire batter was rather humorous.
 WIZ acted more like q gentleman than it has in the immediate past, and the commercial feature that goes on the air at o'clock Tuesday evenings, was much enjoyed, togeth- CT with the vocal quintet A special of Mother Machree" was offered by the concert orchestra, while the quintet, assisted by the orchestra, rendered that sveetly sentimental old timer, Tn The Then the dance group broke out with "Paree" and Sweet Marie,' two snappy tunes that met with favor.
 The Little symphony orchestra presented as it's first number from WOR, Newark, the overture from Rosamond." The organization extremely pleasing and we at the tullness of the tones and at the quality. WOR was loud, as usual, maintaining a steady wave.
 CKCL, Toronto, offered an hour of light opera music. We stayed long enough to hear few selections from "Pinafore.''
 WPG, Atlantic City, was extreme Iy loud all evening, sending more volume into our Set than does WEAF. which is saying plenty. When we tuned in Norman Broken shire was presenting review of coming events, among them the party this evening. Most of the features mentioned were too far ahead for us.
 What will the ReNellers try next? Last night, through WJAR, Provi- lence. we heard them sing that diff fcult number. ''Nola," which was written as a piano solo. The way hey ate up that song was q marvel. The next song they'll arrange will be "Saxapho bia.'
 WF,AI' offered condensed version ot the play, Rip Van Winkle." with | famous actor in the leading part. Aided by the announcer who de- ,cribed some of the incidents in or der 10 crowd the entire play into 1ne hour, the presentation was eX-
