kissing by telephone will be as
easy as talking when Jerome
Meyer of Baltimore gets his new
invention installed in every home.
But 1t won't be quite as salts

but highly important feature,
you'd never know the difference,
for by Meyers invention you hear
the ecstatic sigh, see the love-light
in your ladys eye and glimpse
the blush that ouches with GRIM
son her creamy cheek.
Meyer, at 20, has perfected a
televisual apparatus that does for
the eye all that the telephone
does for the ear.
The idea of such an invention
fascinated Meyer for years. Then

made varying degrees of shadow

shadow, the tiniest alteration or

If you initiate the multiple dots of
a half-tone plate, like those used
in newspapers and magazines, on
a small plate of selenium, and
have these almost microscopic
dots connected up with a bundle
of fine insulated wires. attached
to a distant piece of selenium, the
same group of lights and shadows

induce him to come to Bristol after his
speech at Memphis. 1t is PARTIAL
ly certain that he will speak in the
ninth district of Virginia, where the
bull moose party will nominate can
didate for congress but it is not GER
tain that he will speak in Bristol on
this trip. A lengthy telegram was sent
him this week urging him to come
from Memphis to Bristol.
The bull moose party may put out
candidate for congress in the first
district also. Judge Fl. t, Campbell, of
this city, leader Of the new party in
the first district is opposed to the
Roosevelt people supporting either
Sells or Massey, as they were both

Judge Campbell may accept the NOM

and make the race himself against

Mrs. Marshall has watched over his
administration of the affairs of Indiana
with a jealous care. There has been
nothing of the spectacular in his ad-
ministration. It has been sane gov
ernment. The laws that he has fought
for and won show the spirit of the
man. They are uplifting. They deal
with the improvement of man, woman
and child.
While Governor Marshall Is describ-
ed as a tender hearted" executive,
nevertheless, he is a fighter He be-
longs to the old fighting stock of Vir-
ginia.
Governor Marshall is not q dodger.
He has his opinions, and he let's them
be known. While he is an organization
man, he knows that organizations are
not perfect--that they can make mis-
takes. If they make mistakes he
thinks it is his duty to say so and gel

s. H. Thompson, superintendent of the
MeMinn county high school, made
forceful speeches, setting forth the
conditions existing in the schools of
the conntry, pointed out the defects
and suggested remedies for same.
President. Gilbraith showed that
much of the fault of the system is
due to the ineffieiency of the teachears.
His contentious that better qualified
teachers would go long way to cor
rect the lack of persistent attendance
was forcefully put and made good
impression.
Prof. Thompson made strong ap-
peal for increased taxes for the sup

consolidation of weak schools.
At the conclusion of these addresses
a resolution was unanimously adopt
ed memorializing the next legislature
to increase its appropriations from
