Through fife Static

| New York stations had a heck of Of a time for themselves last night. 1 Talk about Jack Dempsey's well known "wcaving and bobbing" Say, that boy doesn't know anything about it. The New York stations did some weaving and bobbing last night, that WAS weaving and bob ping, believe you us and all our an cestors Every New York station act ed the same way, as if there was a 1 heavy sea on and the transmitters were adrift in small boats. Of course, they weren't you know. Other sta tions came In well. There was plen- ty of volume and some static. Chi cago stations were dependable. Billy Jones and Ernest Hare sang some songs and told some stories | from WEAF. The station had some volume when 1t felt like it, but it also had St. Nitus' dance and the 1 Seven Year Itch, to say nothing of an attack of sea sickness. One Of the remarks which came through from there was: What do they put in the water to extinguish fires? ?' The an- swer: Fire boats" You can imag- inc how we laughed. Amt they the cut-ups, though?
 1 WIZ, WBZ and KDKA broadcast a program by the Stenographers and their orchestra. We heard two seieC- tions by the orchestra. One of them was the favorite Washington Post March and the other was My Lady" WIZ acted awfully funny. A medley of southern airs was played in excellent style by Del Cas- tillo famous organist, from WBZ. The station came through in good shape, too, we might say.
 The best dance orchestra of the evening came through from XIV, Chicago, Johnny Hamp and his Ken lucky Serenaders providing some hot tunes for the dance hounds. Just Once Again" and "She Hasn't Told Me and I Haven't Told Her, But l Love Her Just the Same,' the latter being the evenings longest title, were presented among others. The Serenaders make up one of the neat est teams on the air. No wonder they're making records. XIV was satisfying as to volume and clarity
 Sam m Henry, those two dark visaged gentlemen, had their regu- lar evening workout from NGN, which came in like local (staton, not train). What Is Home Without Children? 2" was the title of their act, and the conversation was laughaple' The cntrast of sans high pltched' rather plaintive voice, and Henrys deep, booming tones is enough to cause a chuckle in itself.
 baritone soloist at WBBM, Chi cago, sang My Vow" and Rolling Down to Rio.' WLS offered Pop symphony concert the orchestra playing a number of waltzes.
 
 WALL, Columbus, was another loud visitor. We heard the closing selection or @ Columbia network program from New York, and then q dance orchestra swung into acton in the studio. For the first time In weeks, nay months, we heard that old, tuneful, "Limehouse Blues. "Annabelle Lee" and Under The Moon" were two others
 And from WRVA. Richmond came the music Of the Hotel Rlch- mond orchestra. I'm Coming Nlr- ginia" and 'I9ye- Bye, Pretty Baby were two of the numbers, which the orchestra knocked for the well known loops, in assorted sizes.
 wTAM. Clevcland; WOR, New ark; WCAE, Philadelphia, were o'h- CTS we heard, not to forget VEAL, Baltimore.
 The morning exercises were hea'h this morning from WEEl, Boston, WOR, WGY and WEAF'
 That's all for today, thanks!
