question. up boiss a man with brand new
coekrosch idea-that OF trapping the IN
secSs. Now. in this age of great and lit
tie inventions. IL does seem strange that
no one ever thought OF this before. but
no one did.
George P Crehore, a mechanical en-
gineer with a shop at i23 West Fifth
street. is the inventor of the bug trap.
He has applied for a patent on IL He
calls it the Pyramid Trap but it looks
more like the roof OF house sliced off
lust under the caves. Ii is four inches
wide and four inches long at the base
The floor and the ends are OF wood and
he top and sides are of fine wire screen.
Tn one of the ends is a small hole n
which is inserted a wire cylinder which
extends inside To the middle OF the trap
the wire cylinder and the trap Is then
ready for the eockroach. The insect
comes proving along. and espying the
choice bit of bread. steps into the wire
cylinder. and keeping on soon steps down
inside the trap. There is where his career
ends. for in his efforts to escape he en-
beavers to climb out through the wire
roof. and never once tries the wire cylin-
der through which he got in.
Now. as the cockroach IL socia6le

be found in one place. the unfortunate
bug in the trap attracts the attention

Mr. Crehore has not invented his trap
only for the cockroach. 1t is guaranteed

hungry. The trap is not intended for

As has been previously stated in the
Bulletin. the movement for municipal
improvement is well under way and
has been for some weeks past. 1t now
finds expression in the organization of
district clubs. The people are thor
oughly aroused and when the city has
fought its fight with the plague to q
finish, it will be found that the people
are organized and will not view with
indifference lackadazical methods IN
future administration. The non-p arti-
san municipal league is already in ex-
istence. The young men have had not
a little to do with the work notwith
standing the objections of the ponder
Gus organ that they wait for their ell
ders to establish the lines on which
the future municipal campaign is to
be carried on.
