We get some queer contribut-
tions for this column. We
have one today from Grace"
who says that one of her "boy
friends" chews too much gum
and she hopes to break him of
it. So she sends in this verse:
You can bring Joe,
With his crooked toe.
But don't bring OTIS:
You can bring Will.
Who Is some pill,
But don't bring Otis.
Otis always wants to chew
When the girls don't want him to.
When he chews his gum around
His bridge work IL always failing
down.
He's the kind of smRrty
That chewS at every party.
We sincerely hope this is 60
ing to stop the chewing, though
we know that Mr.. Wrigley will
not like it because we print this
sort of verse.

POWER LINES INTERFERE
WITH SETS IN STAMFORD
Connecticut Amateurs Assured of
Railroad and Light Companies
Aid in Elimination.
Special Dispatch 10 The star,


STAMFORD, Conn, February 81
For a long time radio fans In this city
were bothered with interference from
the high power lines of the local
lighting company and the railroad
system. The latter being electrified,
the trouble was believed to be coming
primarily from that source. The In
terference finally Increased to point
where II was practically impossible
for fans to listen to broadcasts.
Finally members of the Plate and
Grid Club, 4 radio organization COM
posed of both listeners and amateurs
of the American Radio Relay League,
decided to take the matter into their
own hands, and a committee was ap-
pointed to interview railroad officials.
Unaware previously that their Lines
had been causing trouble OF this ma
ture. these officials agreed to render
any reasonable help, even TO the ex-
tent of de-energizing the power tenn
porarily.
The operators of several amateur
stations, including K. O'Toole, city
manager Of the A. r. r l., installed
an eight-tube uper-heterodyne re-
ceiver and a loop aerial In an auto
mobile and set out to locate the leaks.
They visited first those sections OF
the city Where tho ihterieieh'O va"
known to be serious. Most of the
electric light interference was found
near poles supporting transformers.
According to Mr.. O'Toole, the de-
crease in signal strength was not as
pronounced while the car was run
ming parallel TO the lines as IT was
when passing through side streets at
right angles. About half a dozen bad
leaks were discovered and reported
10 both companies, with the result
that the interference no longer exists.

by WCAP on Sunday, the third
would be wise. Roxie has done and is
doing wonderful work. He has done
more good for thousands Of sufferers
than any one minister In existence.
He has really brought religion and
the Word of God into more hearts
than any one else. He has carried
religion to the people by his unfatl-
ing interest and work in giving radios
to the ones confined to bed. | know
that many of those to whom he has
given radio sets use them to listen
to the church services during the day
and look forward to doing so, and /
also know that doctors have said that
many, many sick persons whose cases
were hopeless now have chance1to

they get their minds off them
