GREAT INVENTION
MAY BE SUCCESS
REVOLUTION IN TELEGRAPHY
APPEARS IMMINENT
Indiana Mans rTelautograph" Wins
in Severe Tests-Recelves and
Transcribes Messages Ready
for Linotype Machine

Another milestone In the ever pro-
crossing road to the less age--syIh-
boiized in the past by tasteless break
fast foods, gir1-less telephones anu
headaches less whisky-has been per-
manently set on what is hoped VIII
he q substantial base by Elmer Bur-
lincame, a young electrician from in-
diana. who Is exhibiting his invention
of a page printing telegraphic device
In the offices of the United states
Wireless Printing Telegraph company.
The object of the machine is primar-
ily to supplant the common telegraph
which is entirely inadequate for mod
ern usages. The instrument is called
q "telautograph," and its workings are
similar to the ordinary typewriter, one
of the prominent factors in the con-
struction of the machine.
Typewriters of any make may be
fitted with the attachment patented py
Brrlingame with the same results got
ten from the use of the inventors spe-
c,allv made typewriter. The mechan-
ism is exceedingly simple Anyone
able to operate the Keyboard OF type
writer may send messages and receive
the messages sent by the telautograpn.
When sending message an operator
reeds simply to write Wnat is desired
in the same way that letter is VIII
ten on a typewriter. At the receiving
d
wire or wireless electricity to the send
ing telautograph will record the mes
sa ge sent with only the assistance that
the paper must be inserted by hand.
When a correction or carriage shirt IS
made by the sender the same change
will be made by the receiving machine
This process is the first of the many
credited to the abilities of the telauto-
graph.
For instance in the handling of the
Associated Press dispatches of news
paper the messages must now be
handled by countless operators and
finally the editors and linotype COM
positors. If what is claimed OF the
teiautograph becomes practicable the
dispatches will be easily transmitted
from the news source direct to the
typesetting machines of the newspaper.
If however, only the telegraphic
usages of the telautograph are per-
fected the machines will decrease the
cost of message transmission almost
to one-fourth. Speed and accuracy
will be increased as the reproduction
of the message sent by the receiving
machine is an exact duplicate includ-
ing punctuation and all other marks
ordinarily eliminated from the regular
telegram, the supplanting OF which is
NOW done largely by guesswork.
Financiers, inventors and others who
have inspected and severely tested the
devise OF Burlingame pronounce the
telautograph already perfect and are
far more optimistic over the success
of the machine than the young elec-
trician himself. In repeated tests the
telsutograph has performed the duties
for which it was intended without a
hitch and upon its survival of the pre-
iiminary tests by the companies in the
different parts of the country which
intend to install 1t in their system the
telautograph will be in universal oper-
alton.

Wornen's Clubs

MANY friends of Mary Holland
N Kinkaid, the we'll known club
III woman, newspaper writer and
author, are interested in her forthcom-
ing book, "a Man of Yesterday" and
will be glad to read the following re-
view published recently in the Chi
cago Tribune. The first copies are not
yet off the press;
1t is gratifying to receive at last
second novel from the pen of Mary
Holland Kinkaid. When several years
ago her first book, "Walda," that ex-
cellent story of the Amana commu-
nity. appeared there was every reason
to hope that Mrs. Kinkaid might be
relied upon for at least a biennial piece
of fiction. The fine literary proper
tions of that first book, the grasp Of
the subject which was evidenced and
the characteristic squint which the au-
thor took at life-at once humorous,
sympathetic and realistic--made such a
supposition reasonable. The writer,
one inferred, had enjoyed her work.
Spontaneity was distinguishing trait;
ergo, frequent books might be expect
ed. But a long silence has ensued,
and it is safe to suppose that Mrs.
Kinkaid's newspaper work has kept
her from the luxury of fiction writing.
This may, however, have been a bless
ing in disguise, for she is now able to
offer to the public a book of unusual
dignity and power. The title is "The
Man Of Yesterday" and the subtitle
"a Romance of a Vanishing Race"
gives the hint that the story deals
with the American Indian.
It is not an unusual thing for the
Indian to be the subject of fiction.

HeraId's Story Of Her sufferlngs ls
Cause of Many Contributing

Treatment

True as the old Greek saying that
"The gods help those who help them
selves" aid has come to the heroic Mrs
A. c. Thompson, who is living with her
two invalid daughters, Gladys, aged II
years, and Madeline, aged 10 years, at
339 Bunker Hill avenue, Los Angeles.
The younger daughter is cheerfuily
bearing the heavy blows of pain in
fIicted by rheumatism, that dread dis
ease which has brought sorrow and the
most pitiless pain upon so many lives.
The mother, VINO is a nurse with hos
pital training, had intended sending
this young girl to some health resort
where the rheumatism might be driven
out of her system before it got q strong
hold upon the young life. But IT
seemed as though the illness of the
older daughter had taken all the little
resources she could gather.
Then, since she is a member OF no
church in Los Angeles, Mrs. Thompson
thought that all looked dark indeed.
But. through the story published in
last Sundays Herald. many kind
hearted people, touched by the distress
of this brave widow, whose husband
died nine years ago back east, nave
contributed financially to aid her.
