A complete crystal detector can be
purchased from 75 cents to 92, de­

Tw o other pieces o f sppsratns are
necessary that cannot be readily con­

For one with a radio receiver of

SO receivers, costing 96, be purchased.
These era all the necessary parts

When the bug bss formed a large

It distills sweet water. It draws nour­

and Its tissues a pungent flavor that
