That delapldated college car with
Its “Tin You Love to Touch" and
“Four Wheel Breaks” has taken the
kicks from every Jokester in America
since its topless inception, but the
tables are turned. It has developed
Into-the song center of the University
and has pushed the barber shop quar
i tette into oblivion.
The harmonizing four who used tc
1 gather in front of "Smoky Joes” and
render "Sweet Adeline” for the ad
miring throng are as out-of-date as
last year’s callendar, for the synco
pating melody of the modern day
comes from the college car with the
music from a portable for accompani
ment, according to B. W. Jackson,
General Sales Manager of the Bruns
wick-Balke-Coilender Company.
There was a day when the lass with
the gentle touch on the piano keys
could gather the admiring swains In j
by the score, but the girl o 1 today who
can give a soulful rendition of a j
“sweetheart" song along with record i
accompaniment can have a thousand i
men at her feet. i
“Singing in the outdoors has de- ]
veloped into the chief diversion on g
the long auto ride,” Mr. Jackson be- 3
lieves. “and with the steadily mount- J
ing sale of cars. America’s concrete ]
highways may become her music J
halls." 3
But the ballads that father used to .j
sing haven’t suffered the same mercl- «
less fate of his quartette. They’re ft
still as popular as ever. Modem youth I
likes variety and mixes "In the Good j
Old Summertime” with "Coquette” i
and “Broadway Melody." t

Radio Rides Successfully *
- On Finest Railway Trains
- ■■■
Radio on railway trains passed the
experimental stage and proved Its
practical use when the election re
turns were satisfactorily radioed to
passengers on seven of the most Im
portant trains of the Chicago & North
Western Railway, the first railway to
Install such service.
Election returns were received by
radio on the North Western Limited,
the Corn King Limited, the Rochee
ter-Mlnnesota Special, the San Fran
claeo Overland Limited, the Los An
geles Limited, the Gold Coast Limned
and the Portland Limited, and the
lounge cars in which the returns were
received were crowded with people
standing until after Mr. Hoover's vic
tory was conceded a little after ten
o'clock. A few passengers stayed up
until the radio was shut off at one
o'clock. The radio service was sup
u==—:
plemented by bulletins sent out from )
the general office In Chicago to sta- |
tlons along the way which were |
picked up oy the conductors ana j
passed through the trains.
Reports from all trains were to the
effect that the reception was cleat
and distinct, and came in satisfac
torily all evening, with no difficulty
In following the announcer. The only
exceptions were In a small area
through which one train passed where
there were high power transmission
lines and power houses, and across
bridges, and the volume slacked
slightly on the curves.
“There was no howling or static
even when other trains passed by.” j
according to one report, “but every .
time we crossed a bridge the set would j
go dead for the length of the bridge
and then ccme to life again." j
