MAKE RADIO BRIGHTER

HINTS FOR ANNOUNCERS With a view to bringing about brighter announcing from our radio stations, the following suggestions are offered. Radio announcers please note: — Weather Report A deep depression rolls across the main. Centring on Auckland. Oh, ye torrents ! pour On Tokomaru’s eastward shore, on Gisborne's border, And on her southern marches. Lies the snow Where Egmont lifts her hills. Deep, deep, it drifts On Taranaki’s fields. Northcote is lapped in mist, Which shall disperse not till the tireless earth Hath once more run its dally race, and I The Uncle, Thunderer —whose tongue no word may twist— Again address thee on the morrow’s eve. What further say the Oracles? ”Lo’ all Is change. Behold, there is no cert. Unsettled, restless, scarcely to be told. To-morrow’s weather will be—warm or cold." News Bulletin Breathes there the man with soul so dead, Who knows not that the Prince hath said, When at Guildhall he gave the toast, “Lo, he falls soft that rides the most.” Overseas In China there is Li Hung Poo, Who fights against old Yang Ki Soo. Umbrellas up! It’s even odds They’ll both fight shy of British squads. And— There was an old sailor of Bristol, Who killed an M.D. with a pistol; The Judge, with a smile, Said "It stands out a mile; Doc. said he got Mars on a crystal.” Lastly— Hear a solemn 5.0.5.! Simon Slim is in a mess. Tried to trip a motor-car, Missed his step—and there we are. TRANSATLANTIC TELEPHONY Up to the present it has not been possible to establish telephone services by means of long-distance undersea cables because of the distortion of the speech. It is, however, reported from America that the difficulty has been overcome and a transatlantic telephone cable is being made. If this is a success radio-telephony will have to get a wiggle on itself and go one better or see Its new competitor grab the business. But it’s all good for "this ’ere progress.”
