REWARD OFFERED
 FOR AMATEUR PEST

s25 reward! This is offered for the one who puts the spark pest that was mentioned last Sunday in Jail.
 We are asking every one inter ested in radio to join in a search for this interference. We published last Sunday a letter from MT. Rhodes Boykin concerning someone who keeps interfering with every body who Is trying to hear the con certs from the large stations out of the local district. According to the information that we have now this person IS sending on a wave length or about S60 metres and higher. He can be heard anywhere from 300 to 800 but not below 300.
 Even If this person had a license which we know he has not, he would still be breaking the law as he is sending on a wave length very much higher than that specified. for amateurs and also because he ts trying to and does interfere.
 In this section of The Age5Herald last Sunday we had an article con corning this same person but Sunday night there was no improvement and this person, if he saw the, ar ticle. completely ignored the warn ing. It may be that he did not sec this mention, but this time the mat ter has grown to 8 serious stage ana the whole body of hundreds of listeners are aroused about S this pest. To every one who reads this please think hard to see if you know this person. If you do and want to do real good turn inform him or us about the matter so an immediate end can be put to this law breaker.
 We have received & letter from one of our most prominent citizens stating that he will gladly pay 1925 reward for the arrest of this inter ferer. His words on this read as follows: T will gladly pay $25 re- ward to have him put in jail since'l he is breaking the law and he knows he is doing it." ee4
 We consider this such an impor- tant matter that we have taken 1t up with the radio inspector of the Fifth district at his headquarters in New Orleans. We have done this to let him know how this "nut' is breaking up the high class enter tainment offered by many large sta tions saS
 We appreciate tho cooperation all ready shown in aiding us in locating the spark station which is ruinfng each night by his aimless oocupa- tion and we will be very glad to have reports from each nefghborht1od so we can determine where the sta tion is. Address any such reports to the radio editor, Birmingham e-Herald. & #
 The one who Is causing all of this trouble may be doing 1t for the-fun of making the others suffer, butt he evidently does not realize that he Is placing himself not only liable to- but almost certain to s5.0oo or five years Imprisonment, or both fine and imprisonment.
 The interference has gone 50 Jar as to have two very we'll known rer- sons in radio, one of whom is known nationally, to volunteer to locate this station if 1t does not stop inN the next three or four days. The plan Is one that has proven itFeif worth while and very effective 1s~ fore. These two people have deciWr1 to construct radio compass wff.a may either be used at stationS ~- on a truck and the location of any station, no matter how far or now near If it can be heard, may be 1ie- termined to fraction of degrHe.
 Remember whoever you are that in doing this sending you are Sure to either be fined for s5,o0o or put in prison for five years if this send ing does not stop immediatey.,s
 We have received a large number of reports. in fact so many that agree with each other perfectly aBS to where the writer of these reports thinks this station Is, that we are sure we know within block of where this station is.
