* T0SOUTH BAKOTA Nuy Cumping Sites New i Coolidge Vacation Home Rapid City, 8. D., June 30.—P— The summer White House is be- poming the hub of a new community in the Black Hills. Tents and cabins are popping among the birches bordering the main streams near the state game lodge in mushroom growth fashion. Carpenters hammers and saws sing out busily throughout the day breaking the stillness of the forest. Along Bquaw Creek around the bend from the lodge a community center is being rushed to comple- tion. Everywhere things are hum- ming in fulfillment, it seems, of President Coolidge remark to a Botith Dakotan on his way out here that “it is seldom quiet where the president is." A steady stream of tourists from states near and far are coming into the hills in automobiles loaded with household effects and nearly all like to pause for a night amid the mountsyns in the shadow of the summer.

Three times a day members of the party hasten to Mother Gideon's to appease appetites whetted by mountain alr and sometimes at night a courler who calls himself “Paul Revere,” dashes from cabin to cabin to spread the word that Mother Gideon has arranged for a dance at her pavilion. Mother Gideon 18 Mrs. Cecil Gideon, wife of President Coolidge’s South Dakota guide and she is as well loved and known in these parts as the Black Hills themselves. Twenty-four hours a day, it some- times seems to those who live near her, she is thinking about the com- fort and welfare of the president's party—a bill which occasionally is not easy to fill. ‘When a dance is on, two banjo players and a country lass at the plano furnish the tune and every so often a circle two step_is called for. it s g W.

Volume was excellent and there was some static, but not a great deal. Stations seemed to respond well and there was an excellent jvarlety to pick from. e o o Yesterday we stated in this here column that the buzz went on at 9:55 o'clock. We were speaking in terms of mid-ocean standard time, sinco we really meant 8:55. Last night it made its appearance simul- taneously with the street lights. o o o WGY, Schenectady, proved to be one of the best bets of the evening, as far as volume and clarity were concerned. We heard the concluding selection on the 44th concert by the Remington band, if that will help you any. The Troubadours, from WEAF, offered an excellent pro- gram, two of the numbers having been exceptionally well presented. A saxophone solo, “You Are Free,” and the rendition by the Trouba- dours of “Salute, Sir,” were among the stars.. Other popular tvnes were played, all of them being well or- chestrated. e o 0 ‘The Radiotrons presented their weekly program from WJZ and WBZ, not to mention KDKA. All three stations were well endowed with volume. Frnnk( Crumit, far- \ \ Wy Promising to be the Greatest Man's Sale of the Year! The Only Thing the We Guarantee the Quality!

In his inimitable manner he sang several numbers that were popular a few years ago, including “Japanese S8andman"” and “Avalon.” The orchestra supported him in great shape. 5 .. Another program of old-time songs was offered from WJR, Detroit. The station came in loud for the first time in about a week. A baritone and soprano divided honors, singing the numbers as solos. “In the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, After the Ball” and “Break ths News to Mother” were among the best known of the group. It was a pleasing pro- gram all the way through. LR ‘What WTAG, Worcester, was do- ing up around 617 meters, we don’t know. We encountered the station on that wave length yesterday after- noon at 1 p'clock. We heard several selections by the Silvertown orches- tra last night. That station belongs on 288 meters and we can't under- stand why it should have jumped the wave. Unless, of course, some arrangement has been made with the Federal Radio Commission. o s .

The enterprise-of these class- ical fellows—and fellowettes—is painful; “the things my teacher tavght me” is about as far as they care to go, and as all tcachers use the same hackneyed: stuft for teach- ing purposes the public gets the same masterpleces every night. Seemed as if every worn cut classi- cal plece in the phonograph catalogs was given an airing from WTIC last night, Handel's Largo alone except- ed, and that may have bcen played before we got into touch with the station. We think the radio stations should begin censoring what the boys and girls want to play. If this is not done the public will be justi- fled in getting the impression there are only a few classical, or standard, pleces ever written. In other words, a little more varfety 18 what s needed. It should be the xim of every singer or player to be a little differ- ent rather than insist on playing or singing the same stuff thc other guy is handling. o o0 KYW, Chicago, was fairly loud, presenting the American Trio in a negro spiritual, “Way Down Yon- der.” WNYC, WRC, WEEI, WJAR, | WABC, and WMAK, were also heard. ¢ o o The Herald representative who is acting as escort to the New Britain marble champion at Atlantic City, postcards us to the eftect that he few enings back. s 0 The human body was used by a Westerner to tune in Lindy's wel- come in Washington.

Remembering the body te be a con- duetor of radio energy, I took some copper wire, attached it to the an- tenna binding post and placed the other end in my mouth. Then I sat on the radiator making the ground connection. The program came over clear with loud-speaker voiume.
