Dictograph as Trap
For Chicken Thieves
Latest Innovation
K, M. Turner, Inventor of Device,
Combines Burglar Alarm and
Telephone With 1t.

NEW YORK. March PIX. NJ. Tur-
ner inventor of the photograph, has
rugged up the buildings on his farm at
West Nyack with unique burglar
alarm system to trap chicken thieves.
Turner is a poultry fancier and keeps
hundreds of hens on his Ridge Egg
Farm that have more than once proved
tempting tc providers After consider
able study, he devised a wire system
that can be made to do the work of a
telephone. burglar alarm or photograph.
The contrivance Is used during the
day as a telephone system to the va
rious farm buildings, which are con-
nected with the superintendent resi-
dence When the lights go out on the
farm the turning of a switch trans
forms the device into burglar alarm.
A photograph connected with tele-
phone wires is located in the superin-
tendents bed room. When the alarm
sounds, the superintendent, by listen
ing to the dictosraph. can determine
from the conversation among the rob
bers how many are in the party.
once he knows what force he has to
cope with. he presses buttons that call
out the farm hands with shotguns. and
the thieves can be surrounded before
one chickens neck is wrung.
