110 BUG UPSETS
EQUANIMITY OF
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 milinery
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
I
thur’s court.
For two days the bug has been in-■
truding its activities on the radio
j service with queer results. The inter
ference has got the goat of the men j
who speak in terms of super-crinoline, j
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
I might be caused by a chapter in one
! of his popular fiction stories describ
ing a tamala eater from the land of
the Montezumas bestowing a kiss upon
a Harvey House waitress down Yuma
way.
This clue pinching out, Lieutenant
j 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 hecti 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 j
i
the Radio Commission’s 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 ta say that .something myste
rious was afoot. It was the radio men
trying to locate the bug. First the
entire system was closed for a few
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.
That the public will have an op
portunity to help the great work of
rhe American Legion and the Amer
ican Legion Auxiliary and of paying
i tribute to atll who died in service
by buying a poppy on National Pop
py Day, today. May 28th.
