LIGHTS YS. RADIO
Fl Paso Citizens Claim Arc Lights In- terfere With Broadcast Reception- Want Investigation.

Fl Paso, Tex. April 11.-Declaring arc lights interfere with wireless mes sages, radio fans here have induced the city council to postpone calling for bids for lights for the new white way nntil-tests can be made.
 J. T. Burke, president of the Fl Paso Radio club, protested that after an arc light has burned a short time a chattering is produced which throws out carrier wave"
 "One lamp would interrupt radio within a radius of four or five blocks and 400 would affect the entire city" he said.
 This would not only interfere at Fl Paso but the chatter might be picked up by a high power set and broadcast for miles outside"
 Summer is nearly here, anyway" said G. A. Winder, who has the lights to sell. Tn the summer you might just as well put away your radio sets, for nothing but 'blah- blah' can be re- ceiyed anyway"
