Harrisburg, Pa.—The troublesome
cockroach Is a radio ‘Thn’’ and con»'
munlcqtes by wireless with his broth-
Howard Zimmerman of Harrisburg,
sergeant major of the Fifty-third In
fantry brigade headquarters com
pany, Pennsylvania National Guard,
believes and seeks to prove it through
experiments, the results of which
were made public hers. V 1
The experiments. Sergeant Zimmer
man said, have been under way here
for s year as the results of an inves
tigation begun in a bug-infested bar
racks In Luxemberg, under the direc
tion of Captain Armstrong of the Fifth
division signdl corps with which
Sergeant Zimmerman was serving
shortly after the armistice.
“At that time we were having night
school and were working on the short
est possible wave length, getting an
lew as one-fourth of a meter,” the
sergeant explained. “Radio sets ware
located three feet apart, on* a glass-
topped table.
“One night everything was working
perfectly when suddenly our tubes be
gan to act queerly. By the flickering
light of the candle we Anally located
‘Mr. Cockroach’ sitting in the apace
between tbe receiving and transmit
ting apparatus. We removed him and,
to our surprise, the apparatus became
normal. This led us to believe be was
capable of making electric power.”
Tbe sergeant declared one insect
radios to another, and this belief, be
by his experiments,
in my experimental
,u-l “1 have
wort,” he asserted, “that a cockroach
has a wave length of between one-hen
Inch and one Inch, with a very low
frequency.”
Tbe tumble bug and moth are also
endowed with radio power, be added,
while beetles show only alight evi
dence of possessing wlreleaa habits.

UNIQUE DlEMORIAL
The very thing that every antoiit it interested in. A local battery
expert says three things are necessary—start with a standard
•f battery, service it properly with frequent and regular testing and
filling, guard against overheating doe to overcharging.
These admonitions would appear simple enough and easy to
follow, hut when one considers the fact that there are ever two hun
dred kinds of storage batteries on the market, only eight or ton of
which can reasonably be called standard makes, that moat people
are extremely careless about giving any attention whatever to the
battery on their oar, and that fewer still know when they are over
charging their batteries, it is mo wonder that the manufacturer^
must maintain service stations all over the country. <
The Willard Stonge Battery Company of Cleveland, long ago
realising this need for a high grade product and careful attention
to that product, established a service station organization whose
motto ‘Through Servioe We Grew” h u made them the largest oote-
fron}; fender.
