Through the Static Last night was a weak sister, fiat tire. Thin soup. An oil-can. All wet, Blotto, A chisseler. A blue ruin. In other words, it was one of those evenings when you take a walk outside to see whether or not the aerial has taken a high dive to terra firma. There didn’t seem to be a whole lot of pep. Of course, the fairly local stations were as loud as usual, and Ch o was pounding away falrly consistently, but other parts of the country secmed to be & total loss. is going to con- . column to 1ostly of obser speed around t tle noises Of course, but we'd o some of the fans Ve're sort of run- es.

This seemed to be the trouble at most of them. Mhey were somewhat distorted and there didn't seem to be any power in back of them. If they had been moving pictures, we would have said that they were slightly out of focus. We hope you get the idea. - He ‘WBZ, Springfleld, was back on its ®wn wave length last evening. We heard Jack Den orchestra from New York, play a variety of selec- Bions, including “Lonely Acres,” that | song dedicated to the gentleman whose two remaining teeth are pain- ing him terribly. The band 4s an excellent one and the orchestrations | are novel, since the full orchestra is used only in the opening and clos- ing choruses. 'In the others, special- ty work by members of the band is featured, The piano parts are es- pecially worthy of note, The trade mark of this band s the celesta, svhich plays constantly while the an- nouncer is giving the name of the orchestra and the titles of the com- ing numbers. . YWCAU, Philadelphla, came through strong for the first time in months, it seems. We thought we were go- ing to have a really slick time with that station, due to the volume, But it died away after the announcer had concluded ma mentlon of coming events in Philadelphia and s the orchestra at the Club Cadiz swung into line, WORD, Batavia, Tiiinois, drifted in and we switched to the latter station.

Some of the noises sounded, for all the world, like coal being dumped into a chute. If the man next door has ever had coal delivered just as you have been about to lie down for quiet snooze after Saturday noon luncheon, you'll understand. PR In the course of our travels we encountered regenerative after re- generative, There were apparently thousands of them. One of them, eepecially, spent about 20 minutes riding the waves, 1c chose a loud station on about 270 meters and ran up and down th scale, without stopping.
