Through he Stutic

over the night before, but that ism necessarily saying very much. Vol ume was fair, but most Of the sta.
 lons seem to have the ups anc downs. condition that didn't make IS feel any too good. Of course many Of the stations act queerly or fosgy nights. and last evening was one either that or the windows in our house need attention There was some static and buzzing, but we're used 10 that.
 According to our watch, the choral program scheduled from WEAF-W1'IC at B o'clock. was nearly five minutes late in starting; why, We don't know. After the group got started, it made up for the late appearance, though. At S:30 WTIC offered the Piano Capers. presenting twin pianos, a souther- -songin' singer and some dialogue which serves to introduce the various numbers. Both pIanOS and the singer were in good form, providing popular tunes in 'f+l'N' III r VI b'-i -tS Nt iISltu"h We took it away for five hearts. doubled. and came as near 10 making it as July Fourth is to Christmas. We dc i "ided that we'd listen 10 one of the auction bridge games--some time.
 NTAG. Worcester, popped in on Us, presenting a Little Symphony or chestra. Gypsy Love Cau' was one of the numbers played and we might add that if was highly enioyahle the clements refraining from caus- ing too much noise, for which Vt are thankful, so thankful.
 ! We heard only one soprano solo, isl, and that one came from WCBD. Zion. Illinois. Usually the air is crowded with them, which reminds us of the fellow who wanted some one 10 fix Up his radio set because he could get only sopranos. That's just q tough break for the soprano soloists. It's not that they're not good singers. It's just that about SD per cent of them do not register well over the air. The mike takes them all wrong
 4 quartet, out Of kDkA, sang seN- cral of the old time numbers in q manner that did the songs justice "Ninety and Nine" and "Tell Mother I'll 5" There were two Of them. The quartet didn't try any tricks. for which We Wer" thankful be cause if the songs had been present. ed in any but straight quartet style, inc effectiveness would have been spoiled, to a great extent.
 Sections of the auction bridge -am~s were heard from WTAM, WGN, WGN. WSAl and WTIC. w. didn't remain long. merely noting that the stations came through strong.
 GlIda Gray spoke from WlF, Phil aiclpbia, in tn. course of the movie broadcast q feature of that station each Tuesday evening. Miss Gray, who looks much better than she sounds. to be perfectly frank, pre- sentel some facts about rehearsals Of films. She also plugged her new picture which, for obvious reasons, We won't mention here. In addition to he talk by Miss Gray, Emo, who conducts the program, gave out tn" hot dope on plays and players. Very interesting il movies are your hobby.
 Eastman. the round the world walker sent q letter to Nl}L and they thought so much of it that they read it over the air last evening. N ~ haven't figured out why they did it. According to him he heard a solec- ton dedicated 10 him, last week, and the station came through clear and loud at the home of a friend in On tario, Canada. He said he was fine i and getting along all right. We'r" certainly glad of it. but why such q message right plumb iii the middle ! of the evening: We heard WHIT, Chicago, signing i off. Home, Sweet Home and ' Taps were played on the organ. . We didn't expect to live to sec the . day when We'd hear q Chicago sta iion sign off In fact. We dldn ! think they ever signed off.
 
 A Aso heard Wl}BM, WIZ, Nll6o, WIN, WoIt. WJE. NEAt, NEEl. t II wasn't a very interesting eE'- ming, to be sure,
 That's all Tor today, thanks!
