PRESIDENT GIVES
PHONO-F|LM TEST
Appears Before Machine De.
signed to Synchronize
Voice and Features.

President Coolidge this afternoon
made his debut before the Phono-
Film. the De Forrest invention for
synchronizing the voice and the pic
ture OF the speaker at the same time
by means of the motion picture.
The Presidents political managers
expect to utilize this new machine
during the campaign, thus affording
the public an opportunity of hearing
and seeing the President at the same
time. The presidential "try-out" was
held in the rear grounds of the White
House, where the apparatus was set
up under the personal supervision Of
Lee De Forrest, inventor of the
Phono-Film and pioneer in radio
,broadcasting. He was assisted by
T. w. Case, who has invented certain
parts of the new machine, and I.
Lincoln Townsend, vice president of
the National Electric Supply Co. Of
this city.
Makes Speech to Small Audience.
The President, standing in the
shade of one of the large elms, made
a brief speech to his small audience,
which will be reproduced at the
White House next week. and IL
satisfactory to the President VIII be
released for reproduction at motion
picture theaters throught the country.
In explaining the phono-hlm, MT.
DeForrest said:
briefly, the sound waves are trans
formed through microphone into
electric telephone currents These
telephonic currents are then amplified
several million times. This amplined
current then controls the light
through special gas-filled tube de-
signed by Mr.. T. w. Case. and these
light fluctuations are then photo-
graphed upon a narrow margin OF
the standard motion picture film
which is reserved for this purpose
and is not exposed to the motion
picture.
Motion Picture Utilized.
This light is placed in the motion
picture camera so that the film re-
cords both motion picture and the
sound record which accompanies II
simultaneously. Thus, syncroniza-
ton must be perfect by this method
the voice and the picture simply can
not get out of step with each other.
The film is developed and printed the
same as any motion picture film In
reproduction small attachment is
placed on the standard motion pic
ture projecting machine between the
upper film magazine and intermitant
motion. This device contains a small
incandescent lamp. the beam from
which passes through the photo
graphic sound record on the film and
falls upon photo-electric cell. which
is far more sensitive than the well
known selenium cell.
This cell is the invention of Mr..
Case. Its function is to translate the
light fluctuations back into electric
telephone currents which are the
exact duplicates of the original tele-
phonic currents from the microphone.
Currents AmpIiled.
These currents are then amplified
several million times and turned into
sound waves again through loud
speakers which are similar to the
radio loud speakers. and which are
located behind the screen in a motion
picture theater. Thus as the figure
on the screen appears to talk, the
exact words are reproduced and they
seem to emanate from his lips"

Aiming for Peace

Henry Ford, interviewed IN
Collier 5 Weekly, proposes that
the United States could make
future great wars impossible by
arrnin3 itself with invincible
strength. We'd be the police
man wa King the beat with big
stick to keep order.
Nietzsche had similar idea
and sold it to the Germans.
The direct result was the
World War.
NIe.zsche in effect told the
Germans: There can never
be lasting world peace as long as
there are powerful rival ma
tons with opposing interests.
The most powerful, just and de-
serving nation (the Super
State) aoulA Al n itself until by
conquest it would be able to con
ouer the rest of the wor Id and
put all nations under one flag.
Then there wouldn't be any rival
left to fight. Hence - lasting
peace.
Sounds logical, doesn't it?
The Prussians thought so. Their
leaders followed the Nietzschean
an philosophy.
Many Germans claim, and
sincerely, that Germany really
built her great war machine to
keep world peace-that she had
no original intention of going
the limit with Nietzsche idea of
trying to put the whole world
under one flag.
But as soon as a nation gets
a powerful military organiza-
ton, she's tempted to use it.
Confident of her power, she
takes liz" from nobody. Like
pistol-toting by the individual
it inclines him to a chip-on-the-
shoulder mental attitude.
This was true of Germany.
1t is true of all nations.
Henry Ford is patriot.
Quite naturally, he believes that
his country, America, is more
just and noble and altruistic
than any other nation-in fact,
that we are the only people who
can be trusted with super-mili-
tary power. 4
The rest of the world doesn't
has the same notion about it,
think so. Every other country
self. It's a natural product of
the fetish called patriotism, is
this holier-than-thou 8ttitude.
Until nations get rid of this
attitude that I'm the only fair

A hundred million people, yea,

for the latest fad of all. We all

mighty thankful when a friend
hands out tip as to something that
we didn't know was there.
There are lots of little buttons
that you push or pull or turn, hut a
lot of them are really never used.
