[snovnrenis the most interest- ing radio set in existence is the ney Quaver one owned by Mr. of Port C Y. Unlike the more expensive and elaborate sets with their five and six tubes, battery chargers, garters, hip flasks, and the jazz-mad younger generation, Mr. Quaver's set is very simple. It con- sists of a bowl of soup. In an inter- view with our correspondent Mr. Quaver said: “My wife and [ were sitting down to our humble meal one evening about three weeks ago.

Upon retiring I put the soup in a bottle and hung a cloth around it lest the light bother it. The next morning it appeared quite refreshed and ready for business. My wife informed me upon my arrival home that night that it had been active all day.
