Althou, m ~ zen said and
written about Irkable filters
employed by til. hone lines and
by advanced radio forkers for the
separation of telephone and telegraph
messages, says the Scientific Ameri-
can, 1t remained for DR.. Frank
b. Jewett, chief engineer of the West
ern Electric company, to demonstrate
how the filter permits of transmitting
radio telephone and telegraph mes
sages simultaneously, and of separating
these messages at the receiving end,
at a meeting of the American Insti-
tute of Electrical Engineers.
The present electrical filter Is the
invention of DIR. G. A. Campbell, a
telephone engineer, and makes 1t pos
sible to separate the various frequen-
cies at which the individual tele-
phone and telegraph messages are car
ried. The detected electrical current
in a radio receiving set Is passed
through the filter which separates the
frequencies of the telegraph message
from those of the telephone.
The filter differs materially from the
ordinary tuned circuits familiar to the
radio enthusiast, since 1t separates not
single frequencies but bands of fire.
quencles of any predetermined width.
The filter makes 1t possible to sep
arate the band Of frequencies com
prlsing the telephone message from the
band comprising the telegraph mes
sage. II can also separate one tele-
phone message from another.

CITY Of Many LANGUAGES,

1t is asserted that there are in Con-
stantinople representatives of every
nation and every tribe upon the globe,
and that every language is spoken. II
Is COMMON to see signs written in
eight or nine different languages on
the fronts of the retail shops.

ments. Today not only in Indiana and Pennsylvania voters want a change.
Anything for a change, they say. How often have l heard this in my
trips throughout the state. I have found widespread dissatisfaction with
the present congress everywhere.
In the elections in Minnesota this fall I believe many voters will
forget parties and vote independently for the candidates they think will
honestly represent the common interests of the great majority.
The amazement Of the country at the way women re using their
franchise will grow. The womenis vote is going to play a greater part
In the selection of governmental representatives with the passing of
every year.
The women found the vote a new thing two years ago. They were
probably, in most cases, governed by the advice of men. Now they under
stand voting and they realize that the franchise is the citizens badge of
sovereignty, and when alone in the voting booth with their conscience
and their God, they will vote right, as they have the light to see the right
Here IN Minnesota the League of Women Voters is a great help
Men voters have III similar organization that helps them al unsdfshly
and as intellgenty as does this organization. 1t stands for no party
organization, though it deals with the leading political questions of the
day. 1t stands for what is best in civic life.

This is the butt of the giant sequoia of Yosemite National park which
came to a end in the prime of Its life when it was fened by a storm In 1919.
At that time it was only 96 years old. Some trees in Yosemite are between
1900 and 1000 years old. For the benefit of visitors, the park naturalist,

For the First Time in Americas History w
Have a Military Policy


For the first time in the history of the United States we have a mill
tary policy. By that l mean we have a definite plan, passed by congress,
part of the law of the land. That plan or policy is the amended national
defense act of 1921. This act provides that in time of war the army of
the United States will be one army.
The three components, the regular army, the National Guard and
the reserve forces, will be amalganated. That army will be primarily
composed Of what we choose to call citizen soldiers, in other words, men
who are ordinarily civilians but who have had a certain amount OF train
ing in peace time and therefore are fit to go on a battlefield and can be
put On a battlefield without being slaughtered Unfortunately and use
lessly the way we have always done in the past.
Now one of the provisions Of that act has to do with the citizens
military training camps, in which citizens receive a certain amount Of
military training. If the young men>who want to go to these camps are
going to them, the civilians of every community have got to encourage
them in every possible way

results are typical of that will probably happen west

In my campaigf1g thus far in Minnesota I have
been astonished by the prairie fire spread of ~independ-
ent political thought. 1t is not a matter of parties.
Party lines are falling away. People out here are less
tied to party strings than they have been at any time
in the last twenty years. They pride themselves on
reading both sides of a question and framing their own
conclusions. They are Independent in their judg-
