Secret of Flag Held by Canaries In Laboratory
The lost, is found! . . . Rut . . . no evidence.
The Trojan war flair was found yesterday in the office of Dr. Milton F. Metfessel. professor of psychology and director of the research laboratory.
Missing: since Monday, the flag was discovered by Dr. Metfessel and Clee W. Foster, office manager of the operation and maintenance office. Neatly folded, it was lying on the top of a locker, where Dr. Metfessel is conducting experiments with canaries in the tower laboratdl-y.
Since only two people possess keys to the tower, and they claimed to have admitted no one, it remained a mystery as to how the banner was removed from the front of the building.
Maybe the canaries did it!
