The cost of the Bains Bridge Besse-

ago.
1t was pointed out in Mr. Rogers
letter that it had been found advisable
to make the road considerably longer
than it was at first intended, its total
length being about 10 miles. The
original estimate of the cost was for a
road extending only as far as the end
of the present ebert section near Lacey's
chapel, but it was found that the con-
dition of the old road from there to the
Bessemer-Morgan road was such that
extensive repairs were needed for ap-
proximately 1900 feet.

CLEARS UP THE

In hundreds and hundreds of cases
every day, the young college graduate
who has had every advantage of study
and training has to take back seat in
favor of a boy or girl whose greatest
asset is a smiling, attractive face.
If you feel that you haven't made
any Roadway, it is probably because
you have refused to recognize this.
You can't expect people to pay much
attention to you as long as you don't

INCREASE TOTAL
OF BOND issue.
County School Program
Would Add Million
To Be Voted

The bond issue, which the people of
vote some time during the spring, was
further increased Friday by the an
nouncement that the board of revenue
would be asked to call for an issue of
81 ,OO0, 900 to be used in completing the
county school building program, now
threatened with suspension due to lack
of funds. The total amount suggested
for the proposed bond issue is now APP
proximately $3,500,000.
Member OF The Board
Thomas e. Huey pointed out Friday
that the county is already within
So, 100000 of the limit of its bonded
Indebtedness established by law, and
that special legislation would be neces-
sary before the additional bonds can be
voted.
The county can stay within its con-
stitutional debt limit by disposing, of
the present court house site and using
the proceeds of the sale to erect the
new county administration building on
a less expensive site already acquired
for that purpose, it is stated.
Members of the board say it would
be necessary TO issue court house bonds
for between $1,5O0,000 and 100000
in case the people vote to build the new
court house on the present site. The
third item in the present plan of con-
struction is an addition to ,Hillman hos
pital, to cost approximately $500, 900.
A meeting between the board of reve-
nue. and the county board Of education
has been decided upon for next Tues
day, at the reauest of DR.. N. r. Ba-
ker, superintendent of county schools.
Members of the revenue board said the
matter of the $1,000,000 bond issue for
county schools would be taken up at
that time.

PART Ill.

The Telephone Transmftter and Rs-
PART Ill.
In the type of telephone system de-
scribed yesterday, the sound energy
is transformed into mechanical en-
ergy transmitted through the. string
and then transformed again into sound
at the receiving end.
This type of telephony is at best a
very inefficient means of communica-
ton. The main limitation is that of
distance. That form of telephony can
be used only over very limited dis
tanCes. In view of that limitation
others need not be considered.
1t would seem that what WAS re-
quired was better medium for trans
forming or transmitting the sound
energy in a way which would carry
over greater distances and which
would have none of the mechanical
difficulties of the string method.
Solution to Problem.
The solution to the problem was
found in a means OF transforming the
sound energy into electrical energy.
the variations in sound energy being
faithfully reproduced in the form of
electrical energy which could be sent
easily to great distances and then
transformed again into sound energy.
The firxt problem. therefore, consisted
in finding some means OF changing the
sound energy into electrical energy. and
the second problem consisted in finding
a means of changing the electrical en-
hack into mechanical energy,
The first problem was solved with
the invention of the carbon transmit
ting while the second was solved with
the invention of the electromagneti
telephone receiver. -
The transmitter is a mechanism by
means of which the action of the
voice vibrations are changed into
electrical impulses. whose variations
follow closely the mechanical voice
vibrations. as they effect the dta-
phragm of the transmitter,
The receiver is the mechanism by
means of which the electrical varia-
tions as they come over the electrical
circuit are changed into mechanical
energy or vibrations of the dia-
phragm of the receiver, which CORE
spond to the variations in the cleo
trical current.
The simplest telephone circuit
would be reproduction OF that
shown in the diagram below III Wnich
a telephone transmitter, receiver
and a source of direct current are
connected in series.
Evening star., 1924-06-05
Eab

Ordinarily a steady current is flow
ing in the circuit caused by the
source of current. the battery b.
When the transmitter 7 is spoken
into the vibrations cause the
intensity of the current flowing in
the circuit to vary in accordance with
the variations in intensity and quai-
ity of the voice vibrations.
These varying currents flow
through the circuit in which the tel
ephone receiver R is connected and
cause the diaphragm of the receiver
r to vibrate and produce sounds
which follow the variations in the
electrical current and are CONSEQUENT
ly the same as those originally pro-
duced at the transmitter
Function OF Receiver.
The receiver performs Il function
which is essentially the reverse OF
that performed by the transmifter
tions into sound vibrations, while the
latter changes sound vibrations into
electrical variations.
The variations in current are the
electrical equivalents of the varia-
tions in pitch, intensity and quality
phragm OF the transmitter.
If the current in passing through
the line is not two greatly enfeebled
the sounds received at the telephone
receiver will approach in intensity.
pitch and quality the sounds produced
at the transmitter.
A knowledge OF this action which
takes place in the ordinary line tele-
phone Is absolutely essential in un-
derstanding the action which takes
place in radio telephony. The dif-
ference between radio and line tele-
phony is essentially one of the meth
cd used to transmit the electrical en-
ergy from one point to another. In
line telephony the current flows
through the lines, while in radio no
physical connection, as we understand
il, exists between the transmitting and
'the receiving stations.
