It also serves as @& help when trying to locate the source of trouble. It's all right to call up a neighbor and get a check on reception, but often this does not tell anything.

The diffi- culty was overcome by having the announcer sit with this artist during his talks, and the artist directed his remarks to the announcer and there by acquired an informal, chatty and conversational manner in bis radio delivery. This artist also is a writer and gave voice to a short epigram, which the announcers of WJZ agreed is very true. This artist said: ‘It is the hardest thing in the world to be one’s own self.’ ‘Weber and Fields, the noted come- dians, will share honors with the ever- popular Van and Schenck during the Eveready hour, WRC's_headliner to- night.

It seems, too, that the writer has dis- © covered a new form of interference. ‘We quote in part from his communica- tion. “Having read the article in your Sunday edition under the heading ‘Raido Gossip and News,' relating to the lack of expression on the part of the radio fans, I wish to voice the opinion that the failure is due to the fact that the ether 1s 8o full of interference, I am not referring to “hetrodyne whistles, either. To get outside stations with any degree of satisfaction is out of the question. Even local pro- grams frequently are interferred with sufficiently to be annoying. ““This interference consists of loud erackling noises and a tapping sound as though some one might be hitting the plate of the tube apidly with a piece of metal, which has a dampening or blanke ing effect on reception. This sort of accompaniment to reception has been in evidence for the last sev- eral months. “Can you wonder why fans are mot in a mood to write of thelr &ppreciation?” ey ik eal troubles with the set or its accessories are constant and do not give alternating good and bad evenings of radio reception.
