WNAC, Boston, came through poorly. and the presentation of "Rigoiett" by the Chicago Opera company, direct from the stage of the Boston Opera House. was total loss as far as we were concerned. Every week or so a tinkle of music could be heard and when the per- formers hit the high notes, we could hear them, but the general effect was not so hot. A better night, no doubt, would have seen an improve ment, since We aren't pannlsg the arrangement of the microphtIcs.
 People speak about the failure of radio to reproduce true tones. but if they listened to a piano solo from WTAM. Cleveland, at about 10:3O o'clock last night, the howl would have been changed to exclamation. Absolutely true and faultless repro duction, with the mellow notes drift ing along like fluffy, airy clouds.
 Harold Leonard's orchestra from the Waldorf Astoria, provided danceable tunes from WABC, New York, in no uncertain tones. They played a waltz number and the old- est inhabitant, who was sitting by our side at the time. stated that 1t was the self-same number they used to play at skating rinks when the entire country was as skate-crazy as it is dance-crazy now. We gazed at him in wonder and he made several | unwholesome faces which upset us 1 considerably. Then came Hello, Swanee." We figured that we'd heard enough of that number for one eve | ming, so we left.
 We'll, we'll conclude now with a | list of those we brought in late in the evening. Nothing remarkable
 but much better than we expected last night. WEAO, Columbus; WTAM, Cleveland; WSAI, and WLW. Cincinnati; WRC, Washing ton; woe. Davenport: WCSH. Port
 land, Me; WJR, Detroit: WMCA New York, and WLS, Chicago. We quit at about 11:10 o'clock.
 That's all for today, thanks!

'We shall see!' said Uncle Wig
gily. SO he started to run, and
then he wished he had his rubbers,
for he kept slipping this way and
that way until as he looked back,
he saw the Rushy Bear was very
close.
ooh, if there was only some way
so l wouldn t slip!" thought Mr..
L.ongears. Then he remem bered

paper in his pocket. Quickly taking
them out, Uncle Wiggily wrapped
first one paw and then the other in
a sheet of sandpaper, tying them OIL
with strings. And with this rough
stuff ON his feet the bunny no long
er slipped and slid on the ice. He
could run as well as if he had spikes
IN his shoes and soon he was far, far
ahead of the Bushy Bear. A little
i:ter Mr.. Longears was safe on shore
and the Bushy Bear had to run a
way.
SO he didn t get any rabbit to
eat, and when the wind went down
the bunny uncle got his ice boat
again, and all was well. But if the
