worse in north counties, while
Ireland tonight was cut off from
England by interrupted cables.
The fatalities were largely the
result of the collapse of walls and
small buildings, while others were
due to strong winds that blew
pedestrians and cyclists into the
paths of heavy vehicles.
Roofs, chimneys and telephone
poles were razed in the blow,
which reached a miximum of So
miles an hour, as officially re-
ported at HOlyhead.

done and the entire act was de- cidedly good. This orchestra. the regular house organization. has made q great name for itself, and it's enough said" when the iheatcr bills it. Hartford just fiocks to the Cap itol. \ group of dance numbers was played, the placing of the micro phones giving us the entire orches- tra as clearly as if it had been in the studio, and just a trifle clearer, if we may be allowed to say so, One number, Confusion" was a take off on a village band. Six members of the orchestra degraded their art to put that number across. and when they had finished, Jim Clancy stated that they are not in the habit of playing as poorly as that. Rhapsody in Blue" was also well done, as were the other numbers.
 WTIC offered very special fea- ture, unprogrammed, last evening. It was a talk about Captain Lind bergh by one of his friends. It was l5 minutes in length and was highly interesting, giving several sidelights on the aviator. but we think the friend was glad when the speech was finished. He acted very nervous.
 Jimmy Gallagher had better stick 10 playing. As an announcer he is tough. In the first place. he has tried to establish an individual and a different" manner of announcing, one that will identify him as Jim my Gallager.' It's individual and different all right. He shouts each announcement in a racetrack voice, comparable with that of Joe Hum- phrey in the prize ring. It's almost impossible to understand what he says. too. He and his band were heard from WNAC. Boston, last eve- ming.
 We ran into dance orchestra after dance orchestra. WPAP. WNYC. 1 WABC. WBZ. etc, all of which came through loud

and continued until g. We didn't say anything about the bloopers. No, we didn't. We're generous. We're broad minded. We don't have to pick on those sub-normal mentality.
 
 We litened in a more or less pre- occupied manner to Roxy's program. In the beginning, the fellow who was assuming the announcerial duties was stalling for time. for all he was worth. He didn't know just what to say, either. But when Roxy assumed control about half-way through the program, everything went sailing along The regular announcer took over the program after the first five minutes, hanging on until Roxy came in. We sat up and took notice of the dance orchestra which was broadcasting from the stage of the theater. It was absolutely Slick, wonderful, smooth. The Jazzsman- ians, Roxy called 'em, and several solos by members of the orchestra were offered, proving that each member of the band was d musician too.
 Finally we went over to WTlC to find out what the Capitol theater had to offer. It's obvious that unless We went over to the station, we wouldn't be able to find out what the theater had to offer, ince a program direct from the stage was being broadcast and there was no other way to find out. unless we went up 10 the the ater itself and that was out of the question. So, as we said before, We changed the dial settings to 1S-S0- so and there we were, right at WTIC! Well, one act was called Amateur Night in London and 1t must have been a scream. The au- dience just fell out into the aisles, judging by the howls and laughter. Then came Bill Jones and his or chestra, the organization that stays in the pit 51 weeks in the year and occupies the spotlight the other week. The arrangements were well

 The Shriners' band from WBZ. came through well, the program be- ing dedicated to Captain Lindbergh. The fellow who was announcing seemed not at all sure Of what he was saying and his voice was quite thin. but he put his staff over all right, so that's that. "On The Con- mon" and "Shriners' March" were two of the numbers played by that excellent Aleppo Drum Corps.
 Other stations heard were WDWM. WPG, KDkA, WPCH and WBAl..

iel r. Anthony, Jr., representative
from Kansas, republican, said here
today. The Kansas solon is spending

If congress does not enact legis-
lation for the relief of the farmer
and the agricultural situation this
issue will be made one of the main
issues of the presidential campaign
in 1928" Anthony declared.
81 believe, however, that congress
and the president who are now far
apart on the question, will get to-
gether on farm relief before the
presidential campaign starts. In my
opinion an effort will be made by
the proponents of the legislation to
introduce a new bill at the next OR
SEVENTEEN session of congress which
opens next December While the
new bill will probably eliminate the
features which have been objection,
able to the president, the McNary-

of the regional board which was to
