PRESIDENTS VOICE TO BE HEARD
IN FRISCO FROM ARLINGTON

! Farmers at their evening chores,
children returning from school and
the inhabitants generally of the coun-
: try about Arlington national cemetery
literally were halted in their steps
yesterday by a weird voice which
came from the sky. 1t repeated Pres
ident Harding's inaugural message
and then gave way to what might
have been thought a celestial phono-
graph from which flowed strains of
music and a medley of bugle calls.
Practically all of the listeners had
known for days of the preparations

Harding's Armistice day address

Talks From San Francisco.
E. c. Bennett, transmission engi-

of the civic auditorium in San Fran
cisco yesterday afternoon and talked
to members of the general staff of
the Army, neWSpapermen ana others
gathered at Arlington to witness the
demonstration, and to the people in

miles. Twenty seven amplifiers. point

clear.
| A gasoline station near Wheeling, W.
! Va, blew up directly under the wire and
! halted the demonstration, but a new
| line was put in commission with less
, than a minutes delay. After Mr.. Ben
inett had repeated the Presidents speech
i phonograph was heard making its
, scraping introduction 5000 miles away.
| A moment later came notes from
bugle as distinct as though they had
been sounded at Fort Myer. Bells
chimed softly and the echoes stole out
! over the graves Of the nations heroes
| who sleep in Arlington.
| Tests Complete Success.
| Officers of the general staff Of the
! Army who stationed themselves in ra-
vines and on hilltops, hundreds of yards
away from the amphitheater, pronounc-
ed the dress rehearsal for the Armi-
stice day services a complete success.

theater would be able to hear the Iresi-

One would have thought that last
season would have completely used up
all the plait brains of the commu-
nifty. Not SO. Although plaits are not
nearly so replete as they were one
year ago. they continue to appear on
some of the newest and smartest of
creations, and they never fail to daz :
zle by the unwearied brilliance of their
application.
OF course, crepe de chine is sus
ceptible to this treatment. In fact. it
might be said to be always catching
plaits, and the highly original suit Of
this material in white which we il
lustrate today shows the influence.
The skirt is entirely knife plated,
and the coat gains distinction by a
plated founce extended at the sides
into a point reaching above the belt
