 Walking along the streets isn't the prosaic and routine exerctse it used to be. Radio has done something to the air which makes a stroll more pleasant.
 If you stub your toe on a projec- tion in the sidewalk and are about to express your opinion in lurid language, you haven't . chance. Be- fore tho words are off your lips there comes the haunting melody of My Blue Heaven" and your soul becomes peaceful. On occasions when you bump into another pedes- trian and are about to tell him what you think of him, a bit of fascinat- ing opera makes its unseen way out of a pipe Satop a store door, and in- stead of passing hard words, you pass & cigar and an : invitation ts drop in and visit your cellar some evening.
 Listening to the radio concerts isn't recommended for automobile drivers. The traffic policemen might object and the clang of the ambu- lance bell might interrupt the mu- s:c.
 There's no telling what will hap- pen. It k posaible that the day will come when dancing on the side waiks will be the vogue. Az you are strolling along. . poppy fox trot will come tinkling out of the air. Your shoulders begin to work. You lose control of your feet. Your brain begins to buzz. And to cap 1t all, you slip your arm around the waist of . girl and the dance h on. There are possibilities of serious consequences In this Her husband might be near- by. But a dance with some of the pretties seen on Main street these spring like days would be worth . punch in the eye.
 Yep. radios 8 great thing-for the imagination.
