NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-Louis T.

trivance that ticks like a clock and
overcomes his deafness. The ma
chine was in his handbag.
Louis sent the handbag 10 a hotel
and it was put in his room.
Someone came into the room and
heard something ticking. Bomb!
Police were called.
Policeman Schernault called for a
wash tub of water and dropped in
Laccb's handbag. still unopened.
Then he called two bomb squad de
tectives and they carefully removed
the bag and wash tub to police head
quarters.
There. with much care, the bag
was opened, still under water.
First came out a pair of socks.
They didn't tick.
A shirt was as silent as any we'll
meaning shirt should be.
And so on down to the bottom of
the bag, and then came the ticking
ear phone.
Lacob was called.
Those are your clothes the po-

Though hard of hearing Lacob
demonstrated he had no impediment
in his speech. He told the police
plenty.
Just who the joke is on will be
