edly. We didn't discover that KDKA i was nearly over. Of course, the boys are appearing under the patronage of a commercial organization, but l that didn't interfere with our enjoy ment of the musical program. They | can handle banjos, and we don't mean probably. We heard "Ain't She Sweet?" a new selection, with Sam, The Old Accordian Man" following. l Then came that monstrous nonsen- sity "Voom, Voom. Moaden on the 1 Gayben." We heard a few others, in- cluding a medley Of popular selec- tions, played by banjo and piano. The programs are refreshing and the southern dialect employed uninten- tionally by the boys, since they hail | from somewhere south of the Mason Dixon line, is decidedly pleasing. They can usually be depended upon to crash through gloriously although at times they have their off nights, 1 like everyone else.
 A KenSington fan writes In to ask the wave length of WKAV, Laconia, New Hampshire. This stations posi- ton is listed as PA meters, but it's power, according to latest bulletins, is only 50 watts. The station is main- tained by the Laconia Radio club. Thanks, come again!

 The Maxwell Ensemble provided music to suit all moods. KDKA was 1 called into service and we heard the | program from that station, although it emanated from WIZ and was sent l to the other stations out of kindness was given of Little Spanish Town" one of the few popular numbers which Is sufficiently tuneful to lend itself to a semi-classical arrange ment and orchestration. Then came that old familiar number which, while old, still holds a certain charm for us, Tn a Clock Store" We get a 1 big kick out of hearing the clocks 1 tick and strike. Jungle Drums" a weird sort of a composition, trans hitting to us a vivid impression of music of the uncivilized races of Central Africa, was artistically done. Lambert Murphy, well known con- cert tenor, sang "Marcheta" and '"Kathleen Mavourneen." It was a l delightful program all the way through. Another interesting bit be- 1 ing Chopin's Minute Waltz" played as flute solo and described by the announcer as dog trying to catch his own tail.
 Again we heard voc, Davenport, transmitting the WEAF program, consisting of the we'll known and widely celebrated Smith Brothers, they of the luxurious hirsute growths Apologies to the Observer). We didn't stay so very long. We went from woe to WJAR and WEAF, where the same program was being presented.
 Static was very heavy at WGN,  Chicago, although the station had little difficulty in breaking through. The Arabian Nights Entertainment was on the stage when we tuned in and an orchestra played, in dreamy waltz tempo, Alice, Where Art Thou?" The announcer sounded as if he was trying to sell something. At any rate, he talked long enough. We finally landed WTAM itself, not an imitation or an impostor, and we listened to a special program, or part of it, from the Cleveland Opera House. We were especially attracted
 by an organ and piano duet, "Noc- turne' from Midsummer Nights Dream" Loud and clear was the station, with static playing an i'm
 portant part in the proceedings.

Through fife Static

We'd class last evening as fair, night before and Monday night. There was lots of volume last eve- ming and. although we didn't try for any distance, we noticed that Chi cago was coming in strong, a good sign. However, the evening would have to go some to beat Monday. One night like that out of every month
 or two is about the best average one can hope to strike, so we aren't
 kickin'. Stations manifested lots of pep and the programs we heard
 were decidedly interesting, every one.
 Dinner music there was in abun- dance. The listening range during the
 dinner hour is being cut down slow ly as the days lengthen and we mo- ticed that it was still fairly light last evening at o'clock. Darkness had not fallen, but we brought in our old standby dinner music stations, name ly WAAM, Newark; WBZ, Spring
 field, and WYATT, Jersey City. The two New Jersey stations offered
 dance music, the latter being ex- tremely loud. WBZ didn't crash through with any music at all until 6:15 o'clock, and we didn't enjoy it when we heard it. When we first
 started out we received an awful
 fn ljctpn
 WTAM, Cleveland, so we tuned to
 our 60 on the dials, which is the setting for that station. We listened to music which came pouring in all over the place and we were gratified that the station was coming through
 so loud. Surprised and pained we
 were to hear the announcer say
 "WGCP. Newark, New Jersey" We
 thought that WGCP had jumped its
 wave and was broadcasting on 3S9
 meters. It was false alarm, how ever, for we found out later that the low wave tuner, with which the set
 is equipped, was turned on, bringing
 in WGCP on 60.
 The Mitchell Brothers, well known recording artists. presented their
 weekly entertainment from WIZ,
 WBZ and KDKA. We listened to most of the program through WIZ,
 since WBZ had a slight whistle at
 tached to 1t. which insisted upon
 breaking into the program repeat
