DIR. BELL MADE THE
FIRST WIRELESS TELEPHONE

Having enjoyed the distinction of
being the first man in the world to
discover the way to make the wires
talk, Alexander Graham Bell then
proceeded to make the telephone
talk without wires and in 1880, FIVE
years after he had invented the
speaking telephone, he succeeded in
transmitting speech by means of light
rays by the use of telephone appara-
tus which he called a photophone.
This was the first wireless telephone.
DIR. Bell also evsloped later an
other type OF telephone which he
called a thermophone based on the
radiation of heat waves. and with
this apparatus he was able to trans
NIT speech for considerable dis
lance.
In 1915 the engineers of the Bell
System made extraordinary contribu-
tions to the wireless telephone art
and with apparatus developed Ny
them not only talked across the CON
tinent but from Arlington, Va. to
Paris, France. and to the Hawaiian.
Islands thus first demonstrating the
great possibilities OF radio transmits

WHY TELEPHONE OPERATOR
REPEATS NUMBER ASKED FOR

After you remove the telephone
receiver from the hook and ask Cen
trail for a number. you will notice
that she repeats the number in a
questioning voice.
Her repetition of the number in
such tone calls for an acknowledge
ment from you that she has correctly
heard the number.
1t is to avoid the possibility of cali
ing the wrong number that Central
repeats the number given her as she
hears it,
The subscriber is expected to con-
firm the operator when she repeats
the number. If she has the correct
number. If not, the caller is ex-
pected to repeat the number desir-
ed. In this way the percentage of
wrong number calls will be reduced
10 a minimum.
So when Central correctly repeats
the number YOU ask for, just say
Eyes" or please" or make some
similar Acknowledgement of its cor
ractness. By adherence to this rule
the service will be made surer and
swifter.

PRACTICAL POINTERS

PAIRING vegetables too thick is
wasteful. Cooking them in their
skins, which are more easily remov-
ed later, means economy.
Add pinch OF cream OF tartar 10
eggs before starting to beat them.
The desired frothy condition will
then be acquired more quickly and
retained longer.
Clean floor mops by brushing out
the long cord strands with an old
whisk broom. This quickly removes
the lint and dirt and obviates the
tangling and mating which always
result from trying to shake the mop
clean.
Salt meats that are to be boiled
should be put into cold water and set
over moderate fire SO that they

AYERS SENATOR
UTILITY ALLY
Farm Bureau official Asserts Nc
kinley Power Company
Friend.

Washington. Sept. 10. OPPOSE
ton by Senator Mckinley, Republi-
can, Illinois, to Henry Ford's offer
for the development of the Muscle
Shoals Federal Power project was
declared today by Gray Silver, Wash
ington representative of the Ameri-
can Farm Bureau Federation, to be
founded on "a lifelong association"
with the development of public utili-
ties from which he had been unable
/ to divorce his mind. Mr.. Silver's
statement was contained in letter
to the Senator in reply to the lat
tsr's expression on the Muscle Shoals
question made public early in August
Policies advocated by the Senator
reflected his former association with
the public service corporations. the
letter said, and were based not on
program of furnishing cheap power,
but one of obtaining for the Muscle
Shoal Power "all that the public Is
able to pay" Mr.. Silver informed
the Senator that the federation pro-
posed development of the properties
to supply power at the lowest posi-
BILE cost and favored program that
would result directly or indirectly
In benefits to the entire people. The
stats ments made by the Senator, the
letter added, did not indicate that HIS
policies would produce such results.
Mr. McKinley's plan of selling the
power at the dam would mean I'M
ques tionably that it would be turned
over to the Alabama Power Company,
the letter asserted and added that
such an arrangement would not be |
helpful to anybody except the dis |
tributing comanpy and the financial
interests who would make enormous
profits on this basis
Means High Price.
The letter advanced the argument
also that if the Mckinley proposals
were carried out no fertilizer would
be manufactured because of the high
price of the power.
1.-The policy you suggest" the let
ter continued. would place such a
high price on this power that it
could not practically be used for the
of fertilizer, and you
advocate the sale of the power at
he high prices instead of using it
o secure a cheap factor in produc-
ion"
Several statements by the SENATOR
Is to the meaning of sections of the
Ford offer were denied by Mr.. Sill
er's letter which added:
"I can appreciate also that from
our point of view the amortization
eature of the Ford proposal is I'M
in that at the end Of the
ease period there are no bonds out
landing against this great develop
lent and consequently the power is
eleased from paying an interest bur-
sn on money which, under the old
ystem of development, would neces-
arily be secured from the great fl
anciaI interests and which would
e perpstual burden on the people.
nder this amortization plan, howev-
r. the cost of the power at the end
[ the lease period is reduced to the
