WIFE OF PRES. HARDING
HAS BATTLE WITH DEATH
Four Physicians and Nurse at
. Bedside All Night; DR..
Mayo Summoned
(By United PresS)

Washington, Sept. deep in the
valley of the shadow, Mrs. Warren
G. Harding, wife of the president
today fought grim battle with
deaht.
She passed fairly' good night
and her condition is as favorable as
can be expected at this time. An
official bulletin from the White
House: 80 am. Mrs. Harding had
fairly good night. The compllca-
tons of yesterday are less prevalent
this morning. On the whole her con-
dition is as satisfactory as can be
expected at this time" Signed
Sawyer"
This announcement was accomp-
anied by an order closing the White
House and grounds to visitors and
the cancellation of Harding's en-
gagements for the day.
This followed night of anxious
watching, during the early hours of
which complications were feared,
and DR.. C. c. Sawyer, physician to
the president and Mrs. Harding is
sued an official bulletin describing
Mrs. Harding''s condition as critical
and stated that her recovery was
not yet assured.
Secretary of War, Weeks. who
called early today at the White
House said Mrs. Harding seemed
better this morning than yesterday.
"Mrs. Harding's temperature is some
what lower today and she seems
stronger" said Weeks.
Four physicians and a nurse re-
manned at Mrs. Harding's bedside
until after 3 am. today. At least
one of the doctors will be at her
side constantly until the crisis in
her illness is past.

which Mrs. Harding in suffering, is

Interest in bird dogs is reviving
to a marked degree in this state.
This is principally due to the fact
that wise conservation laws have re-
stocked depleted covers with prairie
chicken. The present method of pro-
viding alternate open and closed
seasons and of setting aside suitable
chicken territory as game refugees
will undoubtedly enable this splendid
game bird to maintain a foothold
even under the enroachment of i'm
tensive agricultural development.
The state game laws permit the
owners of dogs to take the same
afieId for the purpose of training
them from September 1st to Sept
ember 18th following, both dates in
elusive. 1t is unlawful for. dog train
ers to carry firearms during this
period or to inflict any injury on
any game bird or quadruped.

Human Voice Can Now Be
Vs.. Recorded Perfectly on
a Movie Film
REAL TALKING MOVIE
+ HAS BEEN ACHIEVED
Lee de Forest, American, Is
Inventor; Practical Work
to Be Started Soon
By Carl D. Groat

Omitted Press SIAN Correspondent
Berlin, Sept. 9 Omitted Press
The human voice can be recorded
perfectly on a movie screen.
1t can then be reproduced, along
with a picture, in perfect synchroni-
cation. In other words the perfect
talking movie has been achieved.
Henceforth it will be possible for
presidential candidate to make his
speeches at home, have his picture
and voice filmed simultaneously and
appear per movies on vicarious
campaign trip.
Or with thousand feet of film
minus pictures-the whole music of
two houi opera can be reproduced.
These things-and many other
combinations including use of film
in radio telephony-have been made
by the famous American scientist
and wireless pioneer, Lee de Forest.
de Forest has completed his work
here and is now under way to Amer
lea, where he is to adopt his inven-
ton to the practical work of actual
studio production.
His invention involves simple ap-
plicat;ons Of. light and electricity
tachments, one for the film camera
teachments, one for the film camera
the other for the projecting ma
chine, the remarkable synchroniza-
ton of picture and sound is achieved
The sound is amplified through
application of the we'll known prin-
ciple of the audion amplifier-the
attac used in America in con-
nection with transcontinental trans
mission Of speeches.
In lay language, de Forest inven-
tion--he calls it the "phonofilm" -
is this:
In the ordinary movie camera a
small gas-filled tube is inserted
This is linked up with an electric
light. The actor appears before the
camera, singing, playing a violin or
talking. The sound waves, 'emanat-
ing from him, are projected against
the little gas filled tube. The intens-
ity of these waves affects the in
tensity of the lectric light passing
through the tube, and reacts to make
thin bead along the edge OF the
film.
This bead or thread is the voice
record. Meantime, the camera has
been recording faithfully every mo-
ton of the actor, and there are
synchronized with his voice or his
music.
The film is then put into the re-
producing lantern. To this machine
