Wired Wireless Plan
To Improve Telephones

Experiments, conducted by the Gen
cral and Western Electric companies in
conjunction with the Alabama Power
company, have resulted in great strides
in the development of wired wireless
telerhone systems. The term wired
wireless" even in this day of radio en-
thusiasm, means but little to the lay
man mind.
The other name for the system de-
vc'oped by the power company in order
to maintain constant communication be-
tween its various plants, is carrier cur
rent telephony" But in spite of the
confusing nomenclature, the expert
ments, stripped of their technical names
are very interesting.
Briefly, the Alabama Power company
has deveit red a means of sending tele-
phone conversations over the same wires
that carry the powCi currents. These
wires carry currents as high as $4,000
volts, beside which the telephone cur
rent is so small as to be negligible, ac-
corling TO an article by B. +. Burch,
commercial engineer of the company, in
the latest issue of Powergrams, the COM
panys house organ.
Lines Noisy
Ordinary telephone connection be-
tween the various power plants has not
not been satisfactory in the past be-
cause the lines were extremely noisy and
the wires were prone to break during
storms. Thus, when the company was
most in need of communication, it was
out of order.
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1924-11-23

The new system does away with the
noise and eliminates large amount OF
the trouble due to broken lines, accord
ing to Mr.. Burch. Although wired wire
less has been used prior to its installa-
ton in the Birmingham district, it was
here that a conversation, carried for
so miles by means of the carrier cur
rent, has been successfully transferred
to city telephone system. 1t is also
the first time that the system has been
developed so that a two-way conversa-
ton could be carried on in the ordi-
to speak and then switch key in order
to listen.
Radio Used
Radio comes into play in transfer
ring the conversation to the highly
charged power lines. By means of huge
condensers, eight feet tall and antennae
over half a mile long, this has been done
succesfully-so successfully that con-
versations from Mitchell Dam to Ma
CELIA are daily occurrence, without
the noise always found on the regular
telephone lines.
But the biggest and most notable de-
velopment of the experiments in Bir-
mingham has been the invention Of a
portable set with which the company's
linemen can talk with any of the power
stations in time of trouble. 1t is i'm
possible, of course, to make a direct
connection with the power wires, but
all the lineman must do is to ground
his portable set, but little heavier than
the regular telephone portable set, near
the power line,

OF TOURIST TRADE.
Realtors Interest In Sc
curing Action Of Ben
eft To City

Members of the Birmingham Real
Estate board have expressed keen in
terest in the recent proposal of Charles
HARDWOOD, manager of the Florida pro-
motion bureau, of action looking toward
bringing through Birmingham its right
full share of the annual winter tourist
travel to Florida, and believe definite
plans will evolve which eventually will
mean much in a commercial way to the
city.
Mr.. HARDWOOD outlined his idea in de-
tail at recent meeting of the Real
Estate board in Birmingham at which
he appeared as principal speaker and
proposed st. Louis-to-Gainesville high
Commerce together with letters from
other civic organizations along the route.
The speaker, who came to the south
east from many years of development
work in California, contended that
districts in Birmingham's trade terri
tory will be made easier to secure than
on the Pacific coast.
1--WE were $500 miles away across a
desert" he said, land had a desert to
work with, but, by cooperation we made
the desert garden, and made a market
for our products.
Florida Cooperating
North and west Florida are extend
ing a plea for cooperation to the end
of closer trade relations for the mu-
tual benefit of the entire southeast. The
free circulation of wealthy tourists
through our section seems to use the
quickest way into the column of modern
progress. The direct expenditures of
heavy tourist traffic are immense, but
the indirect tribute in the form of in
vestments is vastly greater.
THE southeast Is rich in natural re-
sources which only need to be generally
known to attract capital for their de-
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1924-11-23

yelopment. The proposed highway is to
collect travel from the middle and north
west at Memphis and conduct it thence
into Florida by way of Birmingham,
Columbus, Ga, and Gainesville. This
highway, it is expected, will typify and
promote a new relation of unity
throughout the district.
Zone of the first effects of such a
unified trade district should be the
establishment of Birmingham as a great
jobbing center where merchants of the
southeast may find all their needs sup
piled. AS much as possible of the stocks
carried should be Birmingham-made
Some important lines are not represent
ed at all in your industrial survey. A
move to attract buyers to this city will
make a demand which progressive man
ufacturers will be quick to supply.
A Unified Southeast
at is to this unified southeast that
we of north and west Florida look for
ward in proposing the designation of
short and level route to our state from
the Mississippi valley. The present
routing, around over the mountains of
and Virginia, does not
permit the tourist to see the real south,
rich in scenic and historic interest.
"Train loads of literature have come
out of California to advertise to the pub
lie the attractions of western trails.
The rich leisure class are constantly
seeking new sights and experiences, new
thrills. All other tourist routes having
been seen, this new highway. opening up
the very heart of the old south, will meet
with an instant response.
with highway linking up together
in a new cooperative effort, new
era of development will begin for the
southeast. One of all, and all for
each should be the motto of a forward
move to continue until no community
anywhere may boast a higher level of
progress. With such natural riches as
are proposed by this great district, there
is no excuse for poverty anywhere
within its borders Heavy production
will be revived, and profitable sale of
those products will be found. Why
assume that anything is good enough
for the south unless it is good enough
for anyother locality whatsoever

FEW VETERANS
HAVE APPLIED
FOR BONUSES
Only One-Third Have
Filed Applications, Says
Col. Giddings

Buddy, have you applied for your
bonus yet?
If you haven't, you may be cheat
ing yourself out of adjusted compen-
sation, according to a bulletin issued
during the past week by Colonel Paul
Giddings, recruiting officer of the
Fourth Army Corps area. The bulle-
tin declares that only about one-third
of the former service men have ap-
piled for their bonus, or adjusted COM
pensation, as the government calls it.
March 1 Is Limit
Cash payments are to be made on
or after March l, 1925 and unless the
applications of those due to receive
cash are made within very short time,
the government will not be able to pay
the claim promptly. The announcement
also states that every year the amount
of paidup insurance, which the former
service men are to receive, grows less.
Delay in making application for the
bonus is likely to reduce the amount
of the insurance policy. The third rea-
son urging prompt action is that
former service men, apparently in the
best of health, are dying without max
ing application for their insurance.
This works a severe hardship upon their
families or heirs.
Blanks Obtainable
"Should application blanks be needed
they may be obtained through the Amer
lean Legion, the American Red Cross,
the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the Dis
abled American Veterans, all post Of
fices, the National Guard, the Organ
lied Reserves, army, navy and marine
corps stations, Veterans Bureau agen-
cies and the local representative of the
United States army recruiting service,
who is prepared to assist in the prepa-
ration of the application without pay"
the bulletin says.
