Radio 'Diviner' Locates
Lost Persons, Metals
Paris (U.R) Jules Calte, a radio diviner, and an inventor, Andre
Coatrieux, claims they have perfected a process for discovering
metals and even lost persons with the help of mysterious "radio
waves."
Using Calte's divining properties, which are "controlled" by
kind of Geiger counter invented
by Coatrieux, the pair claim to
have helped Pans police -dis
cover a body last march.
Police, they said, had given
up all hope after a vain search
of two months, but the team,
using the machine which works
by short waves, found the body
without any trouble.
'Every metal and every per
son, living or dead, sends out
short waves of different
lengths," Coatrieux said.
'Personal wave lengths are as
individual as fingerprints. The
only problem is to know how
to receive them. We have not
solved this problem," he said.
Coatrieux said the pair work
ed together to find water and
metals, rather than bodies.
"Here is how we work," he
said.
"We limit the region of our
search through the efforts of
Calte, using a ring or watch.
Then, with, my electric counter,
which has an antenna and ear
phones, I wait for an interrup
tion of the low hum which
shows the presence of an object.
Each metal, gold, silver, copper,
must have a special machine
keyed to its waves."
He said he thought once he
had stuck gold, but on digging,
found a body with gold teeth.
In looking for water, he said,
the low buzz was interrupted
by a zzzeee sound like a mosqui
to if there was water and a whis
tling sound if he was near a cave
without water.
Coatrieux said his process was
very similar to radar.
"Eventually I hope to develop
it for diagnosing diseases," he
said. "We surely can invent
machine keyed to the waves of
microbes or cancerous cells, for
example."
Calte and Coatrieux already
have invented a practical ap-
Iication of "personalized waves
They have constructed a safe
which opens automatically by
a counter device when the own
er approaches it. The owner
wears a "sending apparatus" on
his arm, keyed to his own per
sonal wave length, and nobody
else can open the safe.
And if the person dies? "One
would have to blow the safe up,"
Coatrieux said.

scientific X-ray, radio and tele-

Court Street
Gets Building
Flans of Don Young to put up
a one-story building on Court
srtreet property between the
YMCA and the Court apart
ments, to be occupied mainly by
himself and Robert DeArmond
as law offices, were revealed at
the city council meeting Mon
day night.
DeArmond placed before the
council a petition, signed by
Blanche Rodgers and others, for
a change of zone classification
from Class II residential to Class
III business for Lots 3, 4 and 5
of-Block 70, which includes that
property. The change would
permit construction of the build
ing. It was referred to the plan
ning and zoning commission,
and a public hearing will be
held within 30 days.
At the same time it was re
vealed that the Court apart
ments had been sold by Mrs.
Rodgers and Mrs. Cornelia Mc
Nary of Washington, D.C., to
Lawrence N. Brown and Edwin
Keech, and that Young had
bought a strip of the vacant
property from Brown and Keech
as location for the law building
It is understood that Brown
and Keech paid about $85,000
for the property, and the por
tion was sold to Young for
about $20,000. The building to
go up on the property will cost
about $50,000.
It will be a one story, of Geor
gian type, with 11 rooms for of
fices, library and conference
rooms. The exterior will be of
white washed brick. Lyth Kaye
will do the decorative work and
the contractor will be H. G.
Hummell. Construction will
start about August 1.
Lawrence Brown said there
would be no change in the oper
ation of the 24-unit Court apart
ments. DeArmond told the
council, as an argument for
change of zone, that the YMCA
plans ultimately to expand.

MILLION BARRELS OF FISH BAIT
'Cricket Catcher' Offered
To Help in Locust Plague
Winnemucca", Nev., July 12 (U.R) Comes now a Paul Revere and
a cricket-catcher to rescue Nevada from its locust plague.
Cliff Jones of Del Mar, Calif., wrote the Humboldt county
commissioners requesting detailed information about Nevada's
much-described locust infestation.
Jones asked for a description
of the 'hoppers, or locusts, and
for information as to their size
and variety the latter being a
point over which the experts
have argued for the past 11
years.
If the 'hoppers satisfy Jones,
he told the commissioners in a
letter, he will bring his patented
cricket-catcher and scoop up a
hundred barrels or so for use as
fish bait.
The cricket catcher, which
Jones said would work fine with
grasshoppers, locusts or what
have you, is a wooden contrap
tion about 32 feet wide which
rambles along the ground scoop
ing up insects left and right.
The commissioners began
gathering information to fill the
strange request. They agreed
that what with 'hoppers ankle
deep in an area embracing 3,00'
square miles in northern KtM.
vada. the California bait-seeker
could have a million barrels full
of the clicking insects if he
wants 'em.
Millipeds or "thousand legged
worms" have developed many
different species in moist
"islands" in the deserts of the
U. S. southwest where they were
isolated from other similar
"islands."
