broad, smooth, straight highways
than on those with dangerous
curves or rough, sandy surfaces.
This is supported by record field

on the trunk routes, and special in

failed to add the fact that the
machine had crossed the road and
gone off the left side.
THE car struck a sandy spot
and all six passengers were hurt, :"
said another, without adding the
fact that the small, overloaded car
was travelling faster than 40 miles
an hour.
"The body was found under the
car which had gone off the road at
the turn" read still another, in
which the driver had fallen asleep.
Elimination of railroad grade
crossings, rounding of corners and
lengthening of curves, erection of

when drivers fail to exercise reason

have crashed into one long guard

continues, but on the contrary is
so good that drivers race along at
55 to 65 miles an hour. The high

Sparks Leaping Over
Gap Control Speech

The first radio microphone was an
ordinary telephone transmitter with
such slight changes as were necessary
because Of its new use. But the funda-
mentals were the same. It consisted
of disc floating on bed Of carbon
granules. The speech or music struck
this diaphragm and altered the re-
sistance Of the circuit by COMPRISING
the granules.
But this microphone had serious dis
advantages. 1t was crude for one
thing. The finer shadings of tone
were lost entirely. Tones that were
too loud produced serious ''blastings,"
that is, the force Of the sound waves
caused the diaphragm to vibrate indie
pendently.
The next microphone was the con-
denser type in wide use today. This
consists of two metal discs under ten
