What the public thinks about cour-
tesy at the telephone was well shown
recently when the New York Daily
News "Inquiring Reporter" stopped
three men and three women and asked
them what the effect on telephone
service would be if subscribers were
more patient and courteous.
OF the members of the gentler sex
two happened to be stenCgraphers
while the third was a secretary. All
three, accordingly, were familiar with
the telephone as a factor in business
OF the men one gave his occupation
as manager" one was an amateur
middleweight boxing champion while
the third was a statistician
Upon the value of patience and
courtesy on the subscribers part these
six representatives of the public were
in perfect accord. THE girl operators

way the exponent of the manly art
of self defense put it. When you
speak courteously and in a nice tone

BRINGING THE MOUNTAIN
TO NOHAITNIED BY RADIO

distance wires to the broadcasting
station of the American Telephone
| and Telegraph Company in New York
and to the broadcasting station Of the
! Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Company in this city.
Washington is particularly fortu-
nate in being the home of the United
States Marine Band but pride in that
great organization is by no means
confined to the Capital city, although
hundreds Of thousands Of Americans
had never heard it play.
The telephone company, receiving
the hearty cooperation Of the
marines, set up the necessary ma
chinery at the marine barracks and
one Monday afternoon broadcast an
experimental program. The next day,
according to the officials of the com
pany, a flood Of letters began to flow
into their Offices praising the music
| and urging that this feature be made
permanent part Of the program.
Later the demand to hear the band of
bands spread to New York, with the
result that WCAP, the Chesapeake
and Potomac Telephone Company
broadcasting station, in addition to
! their own broadcasting here. sent the
music over long-distanca circuits to
New York, where it was broadcast by
WEAF, the American Telephone and
Telegraph Company.
Others expressed the desire to hear
a dance program once or twice a
week, featuring the popular airs as
played by celebrated jazz orchestras.
Many letters suggested certain or
chestras in other cities, but most of
the fans seemed to lean toward local
Organization. ARRANGEMENTS We're
finally made with Myer Davis and the
day following the broadcastiug of the
concert from the roof of lie Paradis
brought a strong Endorsement Of the
success Of the venture from the post
man despite the fact that he did not
intend It that way.
Before multiple broadcasting was
perfected it was necessary to bring
the concert to a studio, but now It
is possible to accomplish the same
thing by wire. In other words. where
there are telephones it is possible to
install a microphone, and what the
engineers call pick up" equipment,
matter of a few seconds. Telephone
wires then convey the amplified music
to the broadcasting station, where it
is again ampliGed and broadcast.
The limitless possibilities of this
character of pickup can be under
stood when one stops to realize that
this procedure can be followed re-
CARELESS Of distance by utilizing the
long-distance telephone wires.
What Washington does with the
Marine Band locally and in New York
it can do in San Francisco with the
cooperation of a Bell system broad
casting station there. 1t can move the
mountain to Mohammed
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1923-11-08

When the mountain failed to come
to Mohammed, Mohammed, we are
told, went to the mountain. But to-
day telephone and radio engineers
have reversed the order of things by
bringing the mountain to Mohammed,
SO to speak
By the use Of long-distance tele-
phone wires and high-pOwered radio
broadcasting stations it is now posi-
Bile to bring a prize fight from the
Polo Grounds, in New York City, to
the drawing room of man in Florida.
Celebrated artists whose concert tours
are limited to the larger cities are
now brought to every town and ham
let within thousands Of miles of the
city in which they are singing. and
dance music rendered by the best Or
chestras in the large cities may be
utilized for dancing in small country
towns
Technically, this has been possible
for some time. but from a standpoint
of entertainment the success of the
operation began when it was found
that by using telephone circuits music
and other forms of entertainment
could be received without the ear
splitting noises that accompanied the
early programs from distant points.
The science Of radio had been de-
veloped to a point where 1t was no
longer an experiment, but one obstacle
remained which experts declared to
he insurmountable.
Receiving sets within a reasonable
distance OF the broadcasting station
were able to obtain a program Of
music that was clear and distinct. but
as the distance between the receiving
set and the station increased a pan
demonium of indescribable noises
spoiled the entertainment for all ex-
cept the dyed-in-the-wool pioneer who
received the thrill of his life when,
upon tuning in what sounded like the
battle Of Verdun, he was told that he
had just listened to a concert from
station N.Y. at San Francisco.
This atmospheric condition called
"static" offered serious problem TO
the radio engineers, but any one who
has ever come in contact with an
engineer knows that nothing but the
ravages Of time and ultimate death
can dampen his spirit. SO with char
acteristic tenacity he set about to dis
pose Of his problem and Immediately
turned TO the telephone
The whole country was a network
Of telephone wires and this offered a
solution.
The first thing accomplished was to
convert the whole outdoors into a
studio. The fact that a prize fight
was being given at an isolated spot
In New Jersey made no difference to
the engineers. They knew that there
were telephone wires somewhere in
the vicinity, so it was merely a ques-
ton of setting up some portable ma
chinery at the ringside, sending the
account of the fight over the long

WEST VIRGINIA
LEADS IN OUTPUT
OF CARBON BLACK

West Virginia produces immense
quantities of carbon black. In 1921
twenty-four million pounds or Al per
cent. Of the output in the United
States was manufactured in the State.
Carbon black IS smut" produced by
burning natural gas. 1t was first made
at New Cumberland, West Virginia, III
1872.
The Bureau of Mines describes
something of the history as well as
the use of carbon black. In the order
of their importance they are, printers
ink, rubber, black and gray paint
enamel and stove polish, other prod
nets such as crayons, typewriter rib
bons, black and gray paper, glazed pa
per, tarpaulins, black leather, book
binders boards, marking and stencil
ing ink, rubber sheeting and clothing,
hard rubber, artificial stone, black
tile, Chinese and India inks, insulat-
ing materials and case hardening.
With the increased production of
automobiles, large quantities of car
bon black are consumed in the manu-
facture of tires, tops and upholstery.
Every telephone contains carbon
black in its make up" 1t is found
in the hard rubber of the receiver and
mouthpiece, in the transmitter as we'll

phone is painted. The hard rubber

SAN DIEGO BAY
CITIES TO TALK
MERGER PLANS

SAN DIEGO, Aug. 1.-THE como
Big City, idea for San Diego and
neighboring towns will be discussed
at a meeting to be held this week,
when a representative from each of
seven cities of the bay district will
meet in this city. The County
League of Municipalities at its re-
cent meeting authorized Chairman
W. E. Harper to appoint a delegate
each from Chula Vista, Coronado,
East San Diego, FL Cajon, La Mesa,
National City and San Diego.
The chairman will complete his
list of appointments today and will
call a meeting of the committee
later in the week. Mayor Bacon
will represent San Diego on the
commission and each of the other
towns will be represented by one
of its leading Officers.
"This committee is appointed
merely to look into the matter of
consolidating the bay district
citics,'' says Chairman Harper.
"Neither the committee nor the
County League of Municipalities
is committed to the plan of annex
alton. We want 10 investigate its
possibilities and find out if it will
prove an advantage to all con
cerned.
The annexation idea first was
broached at a league meeting sever
al weeks ago and created wide
spread comment. Many members of
the county organization saw in the
"one big city" idea a solution for
the water problems of the county
and other accomplishments that the
combined resources could "put

DIR. SWfNGLE EXPLAINS HIS
TALK ON DATE FARM PROFITS

The Editor, Imperial Valley Press:--
In your issue of August 7 there
is an account OF my talk before
the supervisors of Imperial county
that gives a wrong impression OF
what I actually said
Far from promising any large
profits from the cooperation of a date
experiment station, I assured the
supervisors that if such a station
was established in cooperation with
the department of agriculture it
would not be run primarily as a
money-making institution but as an
experiment station to aid Imperial
Valley farmers to make money in
growing dates by testing out the
different varieties, different meth
DDS of culture, irrigation, fertiliz-
ing, the curing and packing of the
crop as we'll as intercropping and
many other problems of vital inter
est to date growers.
suggested that any fruit produc-
ed on the experiment station not
needed for experimental work be
sold at market prices, but that the
offshoots produced by the choice
varieties of date palms grown On
the station be sold at q fixed and
moderate price in order to encour-
age their planting by the farmers of
the valley.
| made no estimate as to the
profits likely to accrue to the coun-
ty from the date experiment sta
tion beyond stating that after
few years it should yield at least rs
much as the rental now received
from the county farm OF FL Centric.
! also stated that the planting of
the farm to choice varieties Of date
palms will operate to increase its
value greatly in the future.
Please publish this letter as soon
as convenient in order that the
people of the Imperial Valley may
be Informed as to Just what it is
proposed to do if a date experiment
station is established rs is now con-
templated. Yours very sincverev..
