LAUNDRYMEN FAVOR PAPERS

To be compelled, while sitting
in the theatre, to think of ones
soiled linen at home, is too much
of come-down. This is the ex-
pressed opinion of laundrymen in
convention in New Mexico, who
disfavor the use of advertisements
of their business on the motion
picture screen. They think radio
ads, too, kind of cold shower.
The laundrymen went on record
as favoring straight newspaper
advertising to get their wares be-
fore the public.

SCIENTIST REVEALS
ERRATIC MOVEMENT
OF ETHER WAVES

NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-CP)-Radio
fans who have long suspected queer
doings in the air now have their worst
beliefs confirmed.
The radio wave travels in cratic
movements, sometimes horizontal and
sometimes even turns flip flops and
somersaults after leaving the transmit
ting station, according to DR.. Green
leaf W. Pickard, consulting engineer
of the Wireless Specially Apparatus
company of Boston.
DIR. Pickard told the institute of
radio engineers last night that after
years of research he had discovered
this new fact about radio waves. Old
measurements indicating that the
waves travelled with regularity were
inaccurate. he said.

Members of her family, however,
we're inclined TO believe that the force
with which the front door was closed
caused the glass to break.

Dor and noticed the man, whose de-
