NORWOOD QUITS
GOVERNORS RACE

Attorney General Hal L. Norwood
last Saturday addressed an open
letter to the people Of Arkansas in
which he announced his withdrawal
from the race for governor. There
are now but two aspirants for
gubernatorial honors, Governor Don
aghey, who is seeking third term,
and Congressman Joe T. Robinson.
Mr.. Norwood's statement follows:
After careful consideration, /
have decided to withdraw from the
race for governor. | had hoped to
be able to make the campaign by
the expenditure Of a reasonable
amount of money, but it is now ap-
parent that this cannot be done
without an unequal contest between
at least one of my opponents and
myself. 1t is with great reluctance
that I have reached this determina-
ton, for | confidently believe that
if the primary should be held now
that | would realize the consumma-
ton of an ambition that | have
cherished from4boyhood. If | were
disposed to spend far more than
the salary Of the Office to procure it,
! would have to be aided by person
al friends, and if should be defeat
ed it would take me a long time to
reimburse them, and much longer
if | should be elected. | sincerely
trust that the door Of political pre-
ferment has not been permanently
closed against those of limited
means. | am profoundly grateful
to those who have manifested con-
fidence by their active interest in
my behalf, and it is on their ac-
count more. than anything else that
it grieves me to write this with
drawal. My friendship for them
and my devotion to our state shall
remain unchanged as long as may
live

pr. ssrIIn.r, Master inventor.

Not very many people associate Dr. Beriiner with the photograph or per- haps even know his name. Wells t. Harvey, in the Worlds Work, tells all about him. .
 His inventions in connection with the talking machine consist in record- ing sounds by a stylus vibrating lat orally, and in reproducing them by means of stylus which is guided only by the groove through which 1t moves. Other inventors had developed the re- production of sound by means of a vertical vibrating stylus, which made a straight path through a wax record, but abounded in hills, valleys and pla- teaus. The intensity and quality of the sound was determined by theAd depth of the groove, The difficulty with this method, as Dr. Berliner considered, was that the greater the depth of the groove which was being made, the greater the comparative resistance which the wax offered to the stylus. Consequently the recording could not be exact. His problem was to develop a method of recording wherein the pressure on the stylus would be con stant. So he eventually worked out the method of recording by lateral vi brations, the groove remaining of the same depth
 As early as 1888 Dr. Berliner prophe sled in detail how singers and speak CTS would some day make their voices heard round the world.
