Radio Program HighIights

Twice as many families have
radios as telephones. The broad
casters have just made the dis
covery. 1t was WABC Of New
York, CHS, which did the job.
Investigators sent into hundreds
of communities took an actual
count on which calculations for
the whole country were based.
They satisfied themselves, Incl
dentally, that three-fourths of
the population listen to radio
programs.
That doesn't mean that all Of
the 10 or 80 millions who tune
in listen to all the programs.
The kids listen to humor and
mystery, the young people to
dance music, humor and what
not, the farmers to farm talks,
music lovers to symphonies and
musical headliners, and so on.
But most of us, it appears, listen
to something.

TALE OF A RODENT.


~ SWALD is a mouse. He lives
in a goldfish bowl in a little

to Washington from a Phlla-

of his days in quiet retirement as
house pet. This was Oswalds re-
ward for serving humanity by rlSEH1g
his life in experiments. Recently he
faced death again, this time as the
result of pure adventure.
Oswald did not like solitude. He
found that with double handspring
he could clear the rim of his glass
house and hit for the open places.
His favorite sleeping place was on
his masters pillow. and there, to the
boys delight. Oswald spent his nights.
Not long ago the little boys mother
took him away to South Carolina.
A neighbor'S child agreed to keep OS-
wald and to make his home escape
proof they covered it with tin
plate. But Oswald did not like this.
He kicked it of and defied any one
to catch him. Brooms were pried
into corners and there was much
shouting and clapping of hands.
Oswald disrupted the entire house.

Ladies were warned to keep away.
Every means to catch Oswald failed.
