WASHINGTON, d. c., August
31.-The world not only "do move''
these days; she moves fast. She
roll her own, and defies convention,
prestige, ancient and modern lore,
superstition, ignorance, and educa-
tion. Within the next few weeks,
or months at least, it will be en-
tirely possible for an up-to-date
newspaper to print the picture of
something occurring thousand miles
distant within the hour of press
time; or, indeed, for the event to
be transcribed to the movie screen.
1t is startling to consider that
foreign affairs, even battles, may be
pictured in the United States, COM
ing from the east, five hours (by
the clock) before they actually oc-
curl eros
Picture radio is now a fact. II
works slowly this week. Next week
it will be faster. Considering the
fact that light, the element to be
dealt with travels at rate of 1885,
900 mile a second, experimenters
are not even thinking of difficulty
in acquiring movie speed for radio
pictures. Most wonderful of all to-
day (although it will be common
place before the next primary 4lec.
ton occurs) is the fact that pic.
lures can be turned into sound, OF
at least be transmitted, through the
air or by. means of wires, in the
same way as sound waves.
A large. congressional delegation
and other invited guests were in.

ties at an instructive reception ir
the large auditorium Of the Centra
high school of Washington last night
The theme was SO staggering tt
the average attendant, and perhaps
even to the inventor himself, tina,
only the fringe of it's possibilities
could be touched. The audience
for instance, could be photographed
by the new machine, the pictur,
metaphorically tucked into the re
ceiver of a radio telephone ant
transmitted to the navel broadcast
ing station at Anacostia, there bs
transcribed into radio picture, ant
exhibited by radio on a screen ir
front of the same audience, al
within twenty minutes.
Next year perhaps you may taks
your little radio kodak along OF
your outing. snap all the picture,
you want to, and without further
trouble find them all pasted ant
labeled in a nice new album on YOU
return home. Or is may be yo,
will want to take along more pre-
tentious motion-picture camera ant
have everything shown in the movie
theatre at the old home town the
same day your experiences are en-
countered.
Crooks are going to be out Of
luck, and so are newspapers; ane
that is in no way connecting the
two. The crook, for instance, may
be marched into the police station
at Washington, and his every move
ment be made visible as a motor
picture in every other detective of
fee in the United States. Officer:
in far distant cities may be asked
on the spot, by radio, if they evel
saw this fellow before and what the,
know about him.
The advent of the $3.50 home
radio set already is said to be hay
ing its effect on newspaper circula
tion. Not only concerts ane
speeches, but all sorts of news re-
ports may be hooked onto now
With the lightning-like development
of radio we soon may hear on the
desert what the wild waves are say
ing at the convention of the Inter.
national Typographical Union at At,
lantic City; and the next thing will
be the yap Of the coyote and the
sob of the mountain lion on Broad
way. A
AS surely as day follows night
the advertising business will hitch
its wagon to the radio. There will
be ways to do it; never doubt that.
The politicians evolved one plan
