PORTRAITS BY RADIO

Not every child may become Presi-
dent. There are many opportunities,
however. open to him or to her for
distinction. such. for instance. as at
tanning an Importance that would
warrant the sending of ones portrait
by radio across the ocean.
In a period Of 20 minutes the por-
trait OF the British premier Is sent
from London and Is received In New
York: that Of President Coolidge is
also transmitted. This Is accom-
plished by using principles. which
radio has been known to possess,
through the medium of an invention
Of Captain Ranger. This translates
the photograph into strong impulses
which can be delivered intact across
the ocean through all kinds Of static
and Interference -.
This from a description OF the
process may afford some idea Of the
method:
"The process begins with bending
the hlm Of the picture to be sent into
the shape of a cylinder and adjusting
It on the sending apparatus. Inside
the cylinder OF film is a beam of
light focused so that II strikes the
alm at n point. AS the Aim revolves,
the dark parts of the picture inter-
cept the light; the shaded parts let
part OF the light through and hight
parts let all or nearly all the light
through.
"The cylinder turns around at the
rate OF an inch a second. The point
OF light Is Of the width Of l-l2Sth
part OF an inch. After passing
through the film. 1t is focused by an
other lens into the window Of a
photo.electric cell. where the light 10
changed into electrical current.
Picked up on this side Of the ocean,
the electrical impulses are again
converted into electrical current,
varying In tho same pattern. In
making one version of the Coolidge
picture. this electrical current pulls
and releases a magnet and the mo-
uons OF the magnet move fountain
pen. In making the other. the cur
rent compels an electrical Nght 70

luscious watermelon still sound and

Edward w. Hyde of Bath, a di-
rector of the port of Portland. has
invented a new traffic signal device
for automobiles, which he expects to
have patented in the near future.
The Hyde Robbins" auto signal.
as it is called, consists of two green
lights on the front of the car, one
on each mudguard. and three green
lights placed across the width of the
car at the rear, one in the middle
and one each at the extreme right
and left. A single four-way switch
is placed near the steering wheel at
the drivers left. The down position
of the switch lights all three of the
rear lights. indicating stop; the up
position lights the center rear light
only, indicating SLOW: the right
position lights the right-hand rear
light indicating Turn to the left
convenience of drivers of cars in the
rear. Clyde Robbins, Bath cleo
trician, was his assistant.
Joseph +. Swanton of Portland
has returned from cunning trip
bringing with him three bears and a
thrilling story of having been
chased by the mother bear, whose
two cubs he had killed.
Mr.. SWanton was accompanied by
Perley Il. Bennett of Boyd Street,
and on sighting the mother bear and
her cubs, brought down the little
ones without difficulty. At that
point his gun jammed and the in
furiated mother bear set after him.
Several shots were fired by MIR. Ben
nett, all OF them hitting the mark
but serving only to distract the
bears attention for a moment from
the man she was chasing. Mean
while Swanton had been working
with his firing piece and had sue
ceeded in fixing it. With his last
cartridge he fired. striking the bear
in the head and killing it.
Nine shots were fired by the two
men before the 200 pound beast
was brought down. The cubs
weighed IS pounds each.

WHO PAYS?

A news report tells of great in
crease in the November sales of two
large Chicago mail order concerns
whose sales for that month totaled
more than thirty-five and half
million dollars.
Much of this Is made possible by
the parcel post; most of 1t is due to
the selling OF goods by concerns in
a far place. merchandise which
under the old conditions would have
been sold by local traders. who con-
tribute to the taxes of the COM
munities IN which they do business.
The change evidently is not an un-
mixed blessing.
In theory, and probably frequently
in practice the prices paid for these
articles are somewhat less. But
are the prices for the goods the
only charge upon the consumer
Not unless the government is re-
ceiving dollar for dollar the cost of
distribution. How do we know that
1t is? Suppose the government, like
an individual. had to borrow the
money invested In the mediums of
transportation, had to pay interest
thereon. had to reckon the cost OF
the buildings. the teams, and all
that. and the maintenance of them,
into overhead expense? The sue
cessful business man must do that.
The public should do it when they
attempt to estimate values.
II the government is not receiv-
ing pay from the mail order con-
Germs to that extent-and it seems
practically impossible to determine
tho fact accurately-then the con-
sumer is paving n part in the way ot
taxes. for that is the source from
which government gets the money
required to balance the books.
