VOICE CAME THROUGH STORM
How Part of Telephone communiea.
ton Was Carried to the Ear Of
Listening Professor.

Back in the days when wireless
telegraphy was under the close OBJ
servation of students and investiga-
tors, Prof. Herman Vedder of the en-
cheering department of the Michigan
Agricultural college, sat at his instru-
ment one night during a heavy thun-
derstorm to see how wireless would
act with the heavens surcharged to
the limit with electricity. Suddenly,
says the Detroit News a flash of light
ming ripped into the station, and across
one of the Instruments blazed a fam
ing electric arc. Out of the tinme came
human voice.
Professor Vedd,pr heard part of a
broken sentence. 1t 1asted an instant.
Then the blaze snapped out and the
voice ceased.
Later Professor yedder learned that
Just when tise arc was formed over
the instrument, q telephone wire Lead
ing from the horne of one Of the other
professors had been blown by the
storm across his wireless aerial. The
Voice was that of the professors wife
who was attempting to telephone the
grocer. Professor Vedder learned what
she had said. and the words he had
heard come out Of the storm fitted in
with her sentence.

How Koreans Make Bread.

Bread is kneaded on the streets, and
with an excellent thoroughness, in
Korea. After mixing, the dough Is
placed on board in the road in front
of the little bakeshop. Then two stall

great beetles. The natives do not
claim that the quality of the bread is
improved by the addition OF impuri-

which naturally result from the open

SCORE 400

The local High School athletes had
little trouble in defeating their mex

Fremont Tuesday afternoon at the
fairgrounds. The first whistle SCUM
ded at 400 pm. and before the first
quarter was over the locals had regis
tered two touchdowns. When the last
whistle blew the locals had the game
on ice by the score of 400.
The open field running or E. Ros-
enbaum was the feature Of the
game. "Rosey" simply could not be
stopped when he once had the ball
tucked under his arm ready for an end
run. Capt. Muller also did himself
justice and set the fans rejoicing
several times by going over for touch
downs. "Otie" johnson, the Valleys

work and was exceptionally clever in
intercepting forward passes. Harry
Reel starred on the locals line and it
didn't take Fremont long to leorn
that plays through his side Of the line

HOW:

NEW YORK FIRMS STORE
RECORDS OF OLD DEALS
A New York city storage ware
house company has undertaken
to free the city's Offices of the
old flles which clutter them. Few
offices which have been doing
business many years are not
burdened beneath the records of
old deals. These records are
seldom referred to. They may
never be needed. But still there
may come a time when they will
be indispensable, so firms go on
preserving them. They clog the
filing cases. They detract from
Office efficiency. They occupy
valuable space where rents are
high. They are the "old man Of
the sea" to modern business.
1t was to remedy this that
some months ago the New York
storage firm built huge fire.

minutes ride from Wall street,
but still in a low-rent district.

tons. Each renter was guar
anteed the safety and privacy
of his own otiices-at much
less cost-for his old files.
The popularity of the scheme
was instantaneous. Banks were
among the first to patronize it.
Some leased as high as 1000
square feet of floor space, which
meant $1,000 cubic feet of filing
space, as the rooms are all -

and other concerns of all sizes

these took no more than so
square feet of space, but they
saved just that much of higher
priced space, in addition to sim
plifying their active files.
Though the warehouse has
been open only a short while
$50 business houses of New
York have leased rooms in it.
