than they were during the latter part Of

to the people. It must have genuine
merit or no amount OF advertising will

ers to Adjourn-It Is Now Proposed
to Tack Measure on Another Bill

Passed by House.
WASHINGTON - The fate of
the administration ship purchase bill
hangs in the balance. The chances
between the passage of the bill in a
still further modified form and its in
definite postponement are believed to
be about even. The chief hope of adj
ministration leaders lies in the house.
The plan there as discussed with the
president is for the Weeks naval aux
1iary bill passed by the senate last
session, to be passed with the modi-
fed ship purchase bill as substitute
and sent to the senate.
The issue In the senate then could
be Immediately brought to the final
vote and last parliamentary stage on
a motion to concur in the house
amendment to the senate bill.
Will the Republicans permit a vote
to be taken on that motion?
The reasonable answer to that ques-
ton is that such a vote would not be
the object of f1libuster.
Events in the senate brought the
Republicans to the point where they
believe the administration will adopt
a definitely defined measure that will
not commit the government to public
ownership.
Long Session Ends.
Senators Norris and Kenyon, who
have been acting with the Democrats,
announced that they would not longer
vote with the Democrats for protract-
ed sessions. because they realized the
power of the Republicans to filibuster
until the end of the session.
Senator Norris urged that the bill
be laid aside until the special or reg
ular session and other important leg
islatiOn taken up.
Following that speech Senator
O'Gorman, one of the seeding Demo
Gratis, moved that the senate adjourn
urtil noon today. This was agreed to,
az to 46. Senators Norris and Ken

~ ~ HIS busy, progressive nation is today at

81 Ek and social development. The means by
Ezzz4z4g which the human voice, with its slightest
infections and indications of personality,
can be carried across the continent instantly,
have been provided Talking by telephone from
New York to San Francisco is now an accom-
plished fact.
The celebration of this latest and greatest
triumph in the art of telephony has just taken
place. Within short time the public will have,
ready for its use, the product of American
brains, American initiative and American scien-
Gfc and technical skill. transcontinental tele-
phone service, the equal of which is not even
approached IN all the other nations of the world.
1t 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 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, can be picked up
by a delicate instrument conserved over dis
lance Of 3,400 miles, and reproduced perfectly
and instantly across the continent. The human
voice has been made to travel as fast as light,
faster than sound unaided by technical apparatus;
ness Of its flight.
The imagination can but feebly grasp, much
less attempt to measure the far-reaching signih-
canoe of such a tremendous accomplishment.

daily use system of communication that knows

standing the more intimate comradeshp 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 to the future happiness and
prosperity of more closely united people has
not been brought about, however, by the over
coming of a 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 eff
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 to
follow and no experience to guide this depart
ment, which is now directed by a staff of over
$50 engineers and scientists, including former
professors, post graduate students, scientific in
