Next year, next month or mex,
week." there may be serious ra-
.dio interference in Redwood Falls
again, but j. l.. Parsons of the

cred the trouble Saturday after
noon. Cables in the white way on
Second street had been grounded
by moisture and since February

by severe interference between
$3.50 and IL o. m. when street
lights were on.
''We can't guarantee that there
will be 10 radio interference,
said Parsons, Even in a chsck OF
our own homes we might fine
electrical appliance which cause
trouble in our neighborhoodS.'
when trouble comes, however
we are very glad to attempt tc
find the source and correct it."
He says that no instrument YET
developed can detect the source
of radio interference.
Circuits, such as high lines ans
other wires, may act as aerial:
and carry noises all over town, he
said, recalling that four year:

burned out there was interference
on the telephone toll line all the
