Reform has produced q real genius
in the person Of Luverne Stringfel-
low, the fifteen year old son of Mr..

\ tent that he is able to receive mes
sages at his station. Three years ago
this young fellow became infatuated
with the art of wireless biography
and with the assistance Of local ma
\ chinist, who had a slight idea Of the
art, and information gathered from
reading periodicals treating on the
same, he has rapidly developed into
an operator and his friends are
watching with keen interest his car
GER. The fact that he is actually re-
