the most modern apparatus. II is there that
the voice or instrumental music is taken fron,
The mcrophones and placed upon the wireless
apparatus for broadcast transmission after it
IS passed through vacuum tube modulators.
There Is no mystery about the manner in
which the transmitting station operates and
carries the voice through the air to the thou
sands Of receiving instruments. In the first
place, it generates what is known as "con-
tinuous waves" These are high frequency
oscil.atory currents that surge out through the
ether in every direction from the radiating
antenn9 Of the transmitting station. These
continuous waves form the invisible bond
which connects the transmitting and receiving
stations, in the same manner as telegraph
wire connects two cities and forms a path FOR
messages to pass between them.

QUITE naturally you ask What Is this
L new art which brings the living voice
INTO the hone?"
It is adaptation Of the wireless teIe-
phone By which news Of the day, music may
let reports and time signals are sent broad
cast from a central rad!atlrg station and
reproduced in thousands Of homes within 6
radius Of two hundred miles or more. It is the
system by which one person IS enabled to talk
directly and audibly into the ears Of the u,l.

1t is the system which ignores ell barriers
and travels with the speed OF light upon the
Invisible ether that pcrlneatss all space carry
ng the voice or tho strains Of music along
with 1t in It's lightning flight. It is the near
est approach to the instantaneous that our
time governed minds can conceive
II brings the voice 10 our ears, and causes
Che diaphragm Of the telephone to vibrate
simultaneously and in unison with the voca
cords Of the speaker. In fact it carries the
voice over vast distances much quicker thai.
The words Of speaker are conveyed to tie
hearers IL e great auditorium; and much
clearer.
This sounds practically Impossible. There
's, however, nothing mysterious or difficult
about it, and the novice need know nothing Of

The continuous waves so produced and IA
dated are Of such high frequency that no hu-
man ear can respond to their vibrations. Con-
sequcntly, while they offer a path for tho
voice they do not in any manner interfere
with its reproduction. The waves continue to
oscillate through space without cessation as
long as the current is turned on in the trans-
,nitting station, and they spread out in every
direction until they are dissipatcd in space
Any receiving apparatus within their range
Will be actuated by them, and the sound

Demo Foe Leads Miss

Muskogee, Okla, Nov 8. - Miss
Alice Robertson, who rode into
congress on the Republican land
slide of 1920 and became the only
woman member, was swept out of
public life yesterday by the back
wash which brought Democratic
victory.
She was defeated by W. W. Hast
ings, Democrat, the man she ousted
from office at the last election.
Still smiling in the face of an in
surmountable majority piled up
against her in every part of her
district, Miss Alice" retired early
today, refusing to concede election
of her opponent.
She Still Hopes.
They counted me out two years
ago, but at the end Of three days
they decided l was elected after
ALL" she said. -'
But her campaign manager held
no such optimism.
With more than half Of the pre-
cincts in the district reporting, the
count against Miss Robertson
stood almost two to one. She had
slender margin of 228 votes in
1920.
Miss Robertson opposed the SOL
dier's bonus bill, and has been at
Ftacked several times during her
term for her failure to support leg
islation sponsored by certain wom-
ems organizations.
Miss Robertson operated cafe
