Through he Static

We'll skip Saturday night. It was fair, but nothing to rave about. and, anyway, We decided to put our bat tery on the charger at about [ o'clock. But last night, PoifeCt, Con- ditions were excellent. Volume was great. There was no static to speak of. The only bugbear was codeVrhat lone transmitter, wherever it IS, musses things up nj great shape while il IS on. Fortunately 1t doesn't put in its appearance 10 any great extent. But even that failed to keep the stations from pouring in last night We have never heard Chicago stations come through So loud be- fore. Time and again. one or two have broken through the fence and treated us to unprecedented volume, but last night every one we tuned III on, smashed in with terrific power. So much for our enthusiasm. The Crosley Hour through WTIC ycster- day afternoon at 5:3Q o'clock, was worth listening 10. The orchestra presented q variety Of music which ran the gamut from classical sclec tions right down to the prcsentday popular tunes. Land of The Sky i Blue Water" The Desert Song" { and selections from HerbcrtS Mile. 1 Modistc" were among those we en- joyed most. From there We went to the Capitol Theater where Walter ! Dawley presented his weekly half hour of Melodies For the Folks at Home, beginning with The Trail That Leads Back Home" very ap- propriate for such an occasion. | Handels Largo was also included. l Because of the length of the feature picture at the theater, it was ncces sary to include in the program some of the incidental music to that item i on the theater's program, It was eA- ccIlent music, however.
 KDkA. Pittsburgh, was still going strong last night. although it didn't show up so we'll on Saturday. We expected 10 hear a program by the KDKA Little symphony but We ran into a church service instead. That was at o'clock. The singing was excellent, as was the talk by the minister. The microphoncs were ar ranged so as 10 present the maxi mum results.
 Then to WGN. Chicago, at T:25 o'clock, where the childrcnS hour was on. That code cut things up a bit, but the station came in strong. The gentleman in charge Of the pro- gram had a good line for the chill
 dren.
 We hit WEBER, Staten Island, but

 of an excellent cornct solo, Face tc

ON A BIG SCALE

Brooklyn plans an airport that
will colst $1S,OO0,O00, and that will
be the largest in the world. Not
many cities can make such mag
nificent gestures. But it's inspiring
to see American cities do things
in a big way. No progressive city,
thinking about an airport and the
inevitable development of CONNER
cial aviation, must think in small
figures.
1t takes vision to look into the
skies and see the wonders that
are to come.

predicament: Through bust
ness transaction l have met a
man of middle age. He is held
in high esteem in the COM
munity here, both in business
and socially. 1t was necessary
to meet him many times and
much to my surprise he has
told me how much he cares for
me. After the close of the pro
cedure he asked me to come to
see him often, telling me how
he enjoys my company and COM
plimenting me on my intelll'
gence, etc.

and has a family. Now, Mrs. Lee,
as I have said, l am very lone
some for friends How can
make this man my friend with
out causing town gossip or do
ing anything on my part would
not be on the level or straight?
/ cannot ask him to my home
as my husband does not know
him, personally, and l do not
know his wife. What can you
suggest, and would it be quite
right for me to further this
mans friendship, or will l have
to forget him, knowing that he
cares for me? I am asking your
help. Please do not fail me.
