THE ART OF TELEPHoNING.
Few People Understand 1t Thoroughly
and Trouble Results.


The art of telephoning is still an &C
complishment that few people regard
as a necessary part of their education.
says the Philadelphia Press.
The way to use the transmitter is
to place the lips within half an inch
Of the mouthpiece and speak in a con-
siderably lower tone than you ordin-
arily use in face-to-f face conversation
The reason for this is simple. Just
behind the mouthpiece is an alumni
UNI diaphragm backed with a very
thin sheet Of hard carbon Between
this sheet of carbon and the points
contact of the wires is space filled
with finely powdered carbon.
The sound waves of the voice make
the aluminium diaphragm vibrate. and
this in turn affects the carbon sheet,
which stirs the graduated carbon be-
hind It.
The electrical current that is pass
ing through the carbon powder feels
all these vibrations, however slight,
and reproduces them in the receiver
at the other end OF the line. setting in
motion sound waves corresponding to
those in the transmitter.
If you shout at the transmitter the
vibrations may be so violent as to re-
suit in only a confusing tumble at the
other end of the wire
Besides, loud talking through a teie-
phone is distressing to the listener,
who, you must remember, gets the full

candles and the other gee-gaws which
make up the necessary trappings will
be the central feature of the festivities
on the evening of the 27th. And then
for these 100 children there is going
to be a brand new pair of shoes for
every one of them with two pairs Of
stockings. And for the little ones and
the grown up chaps as well there will
be candy and other gifts made by gen
erous donors.
The shoes are going to be good ones
I am going to get the best shoes that
l can buy for the money" said Ensign
Omann- There won't be anything
shOddy about them. They will be
bought at one of the best stores in the
city. The stockings too are going to
be good"
All of the Christmas cheer, however,
will not be held back until the 27th.

either. but capacious enough to hold
something worth while.
An invitation to members of the Com
mercial club to be present when the
baskets are handed out has been ex-
tended and interested Topekans are
going to help out Christmas cheer.
The familiar little iron pots have been
placed out on the street intersections to
receive contributions for the Salvation
Army and when you give anything you
