VOICES CARRIED
OCEAN TO OCEAN
Successful Test of System to Carry
Harding's Voice Over Nation
Armistice Day.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 1.-The call of
a bugle, the chime of bells and the voice
Of a man were swept across the CONT
nent from San Francisco yesterday, to
be hurled out over wide stretch of
ground about Arlington National GENE
terry with every note, every jangling vi
bration of the bells and every broken
syllable as distinct as though sounded
a 100 feet from the listeners ears.
Yet the sounds originated in San
Francisco. the speaker stood on the roof
of the great civic auditorium there and
the music came from photograph re-
cords played on the building on which
he stood for an audience 5000 miles a
way.
1t was the formal dress rehearsal of
the mechanism by which President
HaTding's voice as he speaks the
nation 5 homage on Armistice day over
the casket OF America : unknown dead
from France will be carried to an aU-
dieEce awaiting before the amplifers in
New York and to another gathering in
San Francisco to share in America 5
great day of tribute.
Telephone wires by the thousands of
miles, linemen by hundreds. telegraph
operators by the score were needed for
the test as they will be needed on Arm
istice day to bring the experiment to
the success 80 certainly foreshadowed
by yesterdays perfect results.

FIVE-CENT LOAF
COMING BACK SOON
Bakers Price War On In Many Cities
Lower Wheat Having Effect on
Bread Prices.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4-The pre-
war five cent loaf of bread is about to
become a reality.
A bakers price war is being waged in
many cities, according to reports to the
department of labor Bread prices, a
week ago still standing nearly at the
war period level, are approaching the
lowest points in months. Pies, cakes and
even cream puffs will be selling soon at
or near the 1914 rates is predicted.
Bakers are beginning to give the con-
sumer the benefit of the tremendous fall
of wheat prices in the last few days.
Wheat sold at S100 a bushel for Deem
Der delivery in Chicago Thursday. Wheat
prices have been declining for many
months but bakers claimed high freight
rates and wartime wage scales made man
ufacture of bread and pastry nearly an
improbable business.
With bread at from 10 to Il cents a
loaf retail bakers had only a slight mar
gin between cost and selling price, govern
ment Investigations showed.

MAY PUSH NEW
YORK INTO SEA
Plan To Extend Manhattan Six Miles
Down the Bay to Keep Business
Center Down Town.

NEW YORK, Nov New Workers
who often pretend to be Indifferent to the
city'S wonders have had their imagination
stirred by the daring plan, recently an
nounced. to extend Manhattan Island six
miles down the bay by building mammoth
sea walls from both sides of the Battery
and filling in the intervening space with
earth.
A company has been Incorporated to
carry out the project and I. Kennard
Thompson, prominent engineert of the
city has prepared the detailed plans.
The Broadway association, composed of
merchants along the famous thoroughfare,
has, endorsed the idea.
If the plan is ever carried out, its pro-
ponents say that six square miles would
be tackled on the most valuable piece of
land on earth; that u miles of needed
docks would be added to the ports facili-
/ ties; that transit would be greatly inn
proved and that the tax on all real estate
might be reduced one per cent.
The plan has already been outlined to
the war department, Mr.. Thompson says,
and no objections have been raised, since
the proposed built-up extension would still
leave on either side of the island the same
clearance for navigation that now exists
on the Hudson and East river sides.
The work could be completed in five
years, in Mr.. Th0mpSon'S belief. 1T is
a well-known fact" he said. that the
business center of Manhattan is rapidly
moving away from City Hall and if it is
not prevented the lower end of the island
will again become a residential district,
with the result of tremendous decrease in
values.
The only way to remedy this, he added.
was to make City Hall the geographical
center by extending Broadway some six
miles down the bay.

THIN PEOPLE
NEED BITRO-
PHOSPHATE

All that most weak, nervous, thin, men
tally-depressed people need is 10 grains
of pure organic phosphate with each meal
for a few weeks.
That's what nerve specialists in Lon
don, Paris and New York are prescribing
with wonderful results.
1t is natural food for nerve and brain
ellis and is known to such reliable pharma-
cists as the Brattleboro Drug Company as
Bitro-Phosphate. Because of its power
to help create healthy flesh and strengthen
weak nerves, much of it is being sold to
people who are lacking in vitality.
CAUTION: Although Bitro- Phosphate is an
excellent aid in relieving weak, nervous condi-
tions, its is not advised unless increased
weight is desired.-Adv.
