The Latest Endurance Contest
A NEW "musical" horror has appeared in the form of a "radio listeners’ endurance contest." It was held in Louisville recently, and the winner among 60 contestants proved to be Mrs. Mildred Daniel, who "listened" for 106 consecutive hours, going without sleep. After she won, Mrs. Daniel became delirious from exhaustion, but the newspaper reports do not say what happened to others who: live in the vicinity of the radio which was usedl. Mrs. Daniel’s prize was a £40 radio. Presumably she will employ it for practice in trying to break ‘her own record as a listener.
