We stopped and asked if he wanted ja. ride, but he shook his head politely and said, "No, thanks, I've got plenty And I enjoy the view." We thought no more about it until our return trip when we talked with inspectors "at the California-Orego- n state line. They told us the man had stopped there to rest briefly.

I was one of the first announcers of WGY, Schenectady, N.Y., a pioneer radio station which made its debut February, 1922. I'll never forget a program I announced in our first week of broadcasting. In those days, all stations were required to go off the air at a moment's notice if ships at sea were transmitting for help. This would clear the air for their signals. Before each program, all performers were informed of the strict rule, but so many were nervous nonprofessionals theyscarcely " heard the instructions. This one night, a buxom, determined, and rather shrill soprano was next, and I introduced her: "Mrs. Jane Doe, soprano, will sing, 'All Through the Night.'"

One tiding, however, never changes very much, and that's the pile of dirty clothes that accumulates when you're on a trip. I went to the local laundry, not expecting to see any familiar faces, but the same girl was in charge. She greeted me heartily with, "I don't remember the name, but it's heavy starch on the slacks and light on the shirts." Mrs. Evelyn Chadwick, El Paso, Tex. We Pay $10 for Yoar Letters.
