STATIC, HoWLS, SCREAMS

Everything from squeaks and
howls, screeches and whistling
could be gotten yesterday on the
radios in this vicinity and presum-
ably all over the country as the fed
eral radio commissions new alloca-
ton order went into effect.
ut was a wild day for the en-
thusiastic radio fan, who tried to get
some of the excellent programs that
were featured In commemoration of
the tenth anniversary OF Armistice
Day. The world celebrated the clos
ing OF great war. but on the other
hand it looked like the opening Of a
still greater war by the millions OF
radio set owners who tried vainly
but without success to get their fav-
crate stations.
Reams of paper were used and
many a pencil blunted in an effort to
mark the log sheets with the new
position of the dials on radio sets,
but all in vain. Many who expect
ed to give the day up to listening to
interesting addresses and musical
programs commemorating the ami
versary. finally gave up and sacri-
feed the rest Of the day trying to To-
cate stations.
All in all. the new plan OF the
commission looked like a failure
from the very beginning and unless
something drastic takes place, the
radio fan will continue to marvel al
the whistlings. screechingsl and the
like, which were in abundance.
Many Stations 'Tost"
Radio fans had varying degrees Of
luck. Some got more static others

New York, Nov. IL R1More
than 800 men and women. some OF

care. were forced to trust their lives
to tiny lifeboats on the wind-tossed
North Atlantic today when the Lam
port and Holt liner Vestris keeled
over on her beam ends and began
to sink.
They were faced with hours Of
waiting as the wintry wind whirled
their cookie shells OF boats through
the water and they watched the
ship in which they had but few
hours before been SO luxuriously
housed sink below the waves, about
800 miles from Hampton Roads.
Destroyer ON Way
Early reports that the Japanese
steamer Ohio Maru was standing by
were definitely contradicted by later
advices and 1t seemed probable that
the coast guard destroyer Davis. due
at the scene at five o'clock this aft
ernoon. would be the first to arrive.
By that time 1t was feared the lit.
tie boats might be scattered and
that approaching darkness would
seriously hamper the work Of res

Vestris came In an o 8. call

time the radio operator announced

From that time on there was 81

should reach the scene.
| The messages received ON the
vestris told Of the great danger and
described the ship before the pas
sengers left her as lying on her side
with the decks awash, but nothing
was said as to the cause of her die

no collision. as no other ship was
mentioned, and the most widely held
theory was that. tossed by waves
