thickly populated sections, and
officials of both communities have
declared war on the speeding

violators of other motor vehicle
laws. those having improper lights,

In Linwood an open attack on
drivers of machiens who pass

RADIO BUG UPSETS
 EQUAN | M|TY IF
 LOCAL SIGNAL CORPS
Who is harboring a radio bug?

Who is harboring a radio bug?
 The Signal Corps wants to know. | This bug is cutting on aerograms and making them read like an Eskimo with an ague trying to argue with his | better-half over her latest millinery bill
 Lieutenant Clark and Mr. Galletly were doing a Sherlock Holmes all over town yesterday in an effort to find the bug. It was a difficult case, for the insect has no tangible shape, or if it has, is wearing a gassamer like the one Merlin handed Sir Whosis to make him invisible while tilting with the Connecticut Yankee in King Ar thurs court
 For two days the bug has been in- truding it's activities on the radio service with queer results. The inter- ference has got the goat of the men who speak in terms of super-crinoline, ultra-iodine and psycho-idiosyncra- sies, not to mention wave lengths, vi brations, etc.
 When the radio began to acting queer, the Signal Corps sought out Captain Ralph Guthrie, thinking it might be caused by chapter in one of his popular fiction stories describ- ing tamala eater from the land of the Montezumas bestowing a kiss upon a Harvey House waitress down Yuma way
 This clue pinching out, Lieutenant Clarke was ordered to find the bug and not to report back without it.
 Through a series of deductions he eliminated all contingencies even to the effect of hectic spring lovemaking on the etheral waves. Being a mar ried man, he could not compute if there was a maiden in Seward whose vibrations were capable of violation of the Radio Commissions apportionment schedule.
 What to do,
 Lieutenant Clarke bethought him of the possibilities of a leak some where in the electric lighting system.
 That is why the electric light service yesterday gave us several winks as much as to say that something myste- rious was afoot. It was the radio men trying to locate the bug. First the euClF0 system was clOSeu TOT lew moments, when the bug became in ocuous. Later the Signal Corps force began testing individual electric systems by closing their main switch es for 30 seconds while headquarters noted the result
 It is believed there is a leaking electric wire somewhere in the city, and this is shooting whatyoumacall- ems into the ether which produce something like prickly heat in the radio waves. It is discover in what unit of electrical wiring these thrig- amabobs are escaping that the Signal Corps is visiting homes and business establishments and testing the wir ing.
