IL 1JlHIS busy, progressive nation is today az
the dawn Of a new era OF commercial
and social development The means by
- which the human voice, with its slightest
infections and indications Of personality,
can be carried across the continent Instantly,

New York 70 San Francisco is now an accom-
plshed fact.
The celebration of this latest and greatest
triumph in the art OF telephony has just taken

ready for its use, the product OF American
brains, American initiative and American scien-
tifc and technical skill, transcontinental tele-
phone service, the equal Of which is not even
approached in all the other nations OF the world.
II is a splendid scientific achievement of the
very highest character. The power that sends
the human voice out over the telephone is scarcely
greater than that of a breath, yet the means
have been provided by which this tiny, almost
imaginary impulse, made up of as many as 1000
separate vibrations a second, be picked UP
by delicate instrument conserved dis
lance of 1900 miles, and reproduced perfectly
and instantly across the continent. The human
voice has been made 10 travel as fast as light,
faster than sound unaided by technical apparatus;

standing. the more intimate comradeship that the
human voice establishes. The neighborliness OF
a whole nation is advanced by the brushing away
of the physical restraints OF centuries.
This contribution 10 the future happiness and
prosperity OF more closely united people has
not been brought about, however, by the over
coming OF few isolated, concrete difficulties
Its success has depended upon the exercise of
the highest engineering and technical skill and
the solution was found only in the cumulative ef-
feet of improvements great and small, in tele-
phone, transmitter line, cable, switchboard, and
every other piece OF apparatus or plant required
in the transmission Of speech.
In this work the experimental and research
department of the Bell System of which this
Company is part, has been engaged ever since
the telephone became commercial possibility
less than 40 years ago. With traditions 20
follow and no experience to guide, this depart
ment, which is directed by staff OF over
$50 engineers and scientists, including former
professors post graduate students, scientific in

has created an entirely art-the art OF tee-

Ii has required vast expenditures of money
and immense concentration of effort, but these
have been justified by results OF immeasurable
benefit TO the public. The transcontnental tele-

SAYS WESTERN LAND
IS PIG IN A POKE"
E. S. McCOlgin, Secretary of Com
merce Chamber Reiterates
Warning to Investors

While the Harrisburg Chamber of
have been received from McAlester,
Okla. attesting to the honesty of the
Oklahoma land agents who have a
demonstration car" on the Pennsy
siding east of the Market street sub
way, nevertheless a warning was again
sounded by the secretary, e. l.. McCol-
gin, against purchasing land in the
far west. The Chambers secretary's
statement when summed up indicates
that he believes buying real estate
from the Oklahoma people to be much
like buying "a pig in a poke" Mr..
McColgin's statement, issued this
morning. is as follows:
1.-THE Chamber of Commerce is not
interested in the personnel of the peo-
pie selling land. 1t is merely inter-
ested in local people buying land out
of the state without seeing it. For it
to give more publicity to the matter
would merely be advertising the propo-
sition. 1t has advised people to use
caution. and is not bound to do any
more.
so far as giving out kilograms, etc,
from unknown individuals in the
Southwest is concerned. it merely looks
upon that as free advertising, which
it does not care to give.
The Harrisburg Chamber of Com
merce feels that buying real estate in
a far-off state by local people who
have never seen 1t is an impractical
way of doing business. The only way
in which any investor in real estate
can properly safeguard his interest is
to see what he is getting.
"If any Harrisburg people buy
southwestern real estate without look
| ing at it and later discontinue making
payments on 1t or let it be sold for
taxes after being cautioned by the
Harrisburg Chamber of Commerce. it
| is their own affair. 1t was for the
purpose of stopping such unwise in
vestments that blue-sl<y laws were en-
acted by large number of states.
mo kilograms have been received
| indorsing the Oklahoma land sale
| scheme except from people who have
| financial interest in the matter ex-
| cept a second statement from the
Commercial Club there which has
every evidence of being sent after
pressure had been exerted to obtain it. !"
The full text of the telegram re-
ceived yesterday by the manager of
the demonstration car after his refer
ence of the matter to his home office
follows:
