Through tie Static

What funny evening. First one l thing and then, right away. some thing else. Isn't that queer? There
 was no static to speak Of. No! We'll | be firm. There was no static at all. | We tuned around. here and there,
 and We were met by local dis ] turDance on all sides, that is, early
 in the evening and up to about II l o'clock. Several times a noise came on the air, that sounded just like a l motor. That added to the general
 iestivity, Then there were snaps and
 crackles and all such stuff-but
 we'd rather not talk about it. ! The Minstrels, from WBZ, came ! through well but we couldn't hand i the singers much. Two girls tried the | baby sister" stuff without much success. They were too loud or some thing. At any rate We couldn't bear ! 1t. Remembering was one Of their numbers. As We remember it, the Minstrels were pretty fair last week and the week before that. We don't , know whats happened to them. Old i time dance music was presented and we enjoyed that part of the pro- gram,
 The New Haven railroad band cam" through strong and clear from WTIC. The music was well rounded. with all instruments occupying their true place in the limelight. We heard two selections. both of which were well played. A group Of numbers from The Old Red Mill' was offer ed, together with "102nd Infantry March"
 The Jubilee Singers were on the
 air when We hit VEAL, Baltimore. l The Jubilee Singers, a commcndable organization which broadcasts regu- 1 larly from that station. have made
 q name for themselves. 4 soprano soloist sang Lonesome Nalley.'
 
 WCBD, Zion. offered vocal and in strumcn,al selections, came in fairly N'Il, jiJ' iiD6 fAlii- " SNilNi4''l over to WEEI, Boston. where We wer. treated to news bulletins. WLSI, Providence. offered dance
 music, loud. but not stridently so. WOO. Philadelphia, was also on the air with dance selections, Crazy Words, Crazy Tune being one of the numbers. The station came through well, but it would have been much more pleasant if there hadn't been rasping buzz to mar reception. At WCCO, Minneapolis, we heard baritone singing a love song from
 The F'ircily." assisted by soprano. ] The station was about as loud as usual, which means that it came in
 very well,
 l The Red Apple club held it's regu-
 lar meeting at WICK, Detroit, and We | stopped in for a while. A baritone sang That's My Hap Hap Happi- , ness" while Bob Stevens presented 1 a delightful banjo solo, Some Of
 These Days" Then Eliza Kidd sang
 Sweet Rosie O'Grady." All very nice. XIV, Chicago. was loud. with | code accompaniment, also loud. 4 vocal selection by another baritone
 was T Need You. Dear" which was
 just too much for us.
 1 Cowboy White, who is one of the
 genuine, dyedin- the-wool western
 CTS. offered q group of COW boy songs
 over WFAF. He was accompanied by
 q ukulele and he made things hum | for few minutes. The station 1 backed him up, favoring us With ex- ! cellent transmission. Queen of The 1 Prairie was one Of the songs he 1 offered in q fine, strong voice. His 1 accompaniment was exact. We
 switched over 10 WRC, Washington, where we heard part of the same | program. The latter station also came through loud.
