himself WY. Well, he firmly believes that
within n few years people will actually be
transported at incredible speed by radio sled
on the etheric waves. He says that photo
graphs already have been sent by wireless
telephone, and if photographs why not origi-
mails? Why not, indeed? According to
Pickle, the new sport will have everything
else faded for speed and excitement. One Of
It's features will be its irrogularity. Just as
to-day you can never be sure whether you are
going to hear a trombone solo or sermon,
so in the future you may start of for Pine
hurst on your radio sled and end up in Nome.
This will add a gambling interest.
But If everything is working right, Pickle
says, YOU may be spending a boring evening
at home, thinking Of sweet patootie out in
Cleveland whom you would like to see; YOU
sneak up to your room, haul out your sled,
adjust your tuner, step on the ether and zip.
