proadeasting has been taken in Bo-
.1ss from France and England. A
s.rber Of Bogalusa citizens have or
l.-sd radiophones installed in their
t.-ss Now the craze has hit the
.sgptry and BOgalusa has just awak-
- 10 the fact that we have been
.sT.sn on one of the greatest inven-
soSs Of the present generalization. But
- lust a week ago that The En-
wrise learned of the particulars.
l. Wuescher, D. T. Cushing,
IN Wilson. the City Of Bogalusa and
q Great Southern Lumber Com
s.sv are among those who have or
sA the radiOphones installed and
ssre are several others who will sign
trscts within the next few days.
Bogalusa also has a licensed oper-
- in the person of Walter Leahy,
~ has passed the federal examina-
tan Walter has been working on
ufeless for ten years and investiga- 4
IA proves he is rated high with the
ls5efal board. Not only can he do
Ioadcasting, but he can build the
mehines which will take messages
from foreign countries. As evidence
II is ability he has sold fifteen sets,
veh are in use today. So brisk did
n business become that he sold the
naTatus he used at his home and
m been kept so busy with orders
ass be has not had time to erect a
lsg one.
When Mayor Sullivan learned of
b ability Of the loci operator, he
IMMEDIATELY gave Mr.. Leahy an order
"a ndiOphones for the City of Be-
nlua and for the Great Southern |
Lumber Company. He also made ar |
nagsments to install a radio factory !

asgie City Theater building, on Ave-
has B Supplies have been ordered
Q build several phones in Bogalusa. !
2 date no broadcasting outfit has
been ordered, but M. L. Wuescher has
thHounced he has about decided to
haall one at an early date.
Owing to the fact that the govern
nsrt will not permit broadcasting to
b done by anyone except a licensed !
aiiratiOn will result in few broad
uang apparatuses being located in

BEOadcasting" means sending out
asaages, while "amplifier" means
@ apparatus which will receive the
aessage md increase the tone similar
. graphophone. This is the kind
lehased by the City Of Bogalusa.
IA very little money a machine can
bought or made that will permit
dents Of this city to hear programs
gwen in New Orleans.
With interest growing in this fad
VIZ will likely be one hundred ra-
-aphones in Bogalusa within the next
20 which will enables one to hear
: concerts given in New Orleans.
m a broadcasting instrument in
alusa and an amplifier at the va
camps, Bogalusa can keep in
tSnt touch with all operations,
ne residents of the camps can
me concerts, lectures, sermons
Oally reports sent out from Bo-
"a Market reports al now being

lne distance at which the small in
sanents will work depends upon the
sssphefic conditions, lightning,
