olina Of the Collins Wireless Tele-
phone Co.. is in the city for the pur.
pose of the practical success of the
Collins Wireless Telephone and will

room with Mr.. ]. c. Huger, on the
second floor of the Sumter Clothing
Co.. building. at which place he will
be found during business hours. He
will take pleasure in demonstrating
the use Of the telephone in manne,
that will convince the most skeptical

to be transmitted for great distances
without wires. Mr. Rosenwald says
that wireless telephone systems are

land. Me-, between Philadelphia and
New York and at a number of other
places. The United States navy de.
partment has equipped the warships
with wireless telephones, while the
Pennsylvania railroad has had its
vessels equipped. Wireless telephony
has passed the experimental stage
and is now becoming a commercial
proposition in competition with the
Bell and independent telephone sys-
TENS depending upon wires for the
traCmissiOn Of sound.
While Mr.. Rosenwald makes no
long distance tests. he demonstrates
very clearly and convincingly that the
Collins instruments transmit speech
that the spoken word can be heard
as distinctly as over the best Bell or
Sumter telephone. and that neither
distance nor obstructions. such as
wooden or brick walls interfere in the
least with the wireless transmission OF
sound.

Except among automobilists the
plan to build highway to Columbia
does not arouse enthusiasm. A ma

has been discussed are either
indifferent or opposed to the
undertaking on account OF the

In repairs on the roadway through
