Harry Heilman Gets His
Seventh Paige-Built Car

Harry lehman, held by many
authorities to be the worlds most
valuable baseball player, principally
because of his good batting judg-
ment, has just purchased his seventh
iaige- built automobile. This time
it was q Jewett deluxe sedan.
Year after year, Harry has either
led the American League in batting
Or has been well up among the lead
crs. Clair r. Marston, local dis
trihutor, when he heard that He'll
mann was buying his seventh Paige
product, smiled and said:
ITS easily apparent to rue now
why Harry Heilmann is such n good
batter. He has judgment for good
values, both on the diamond and in
buying automobiles"
incidentally, Harry was told OF
surprise that the Paige Detroit
Motor Car Company is going to
spring in its line of new Jewett
Skies and the result was that he
paid down a deposit ordering the
first ono to be built by the company.
That will make two JeWetts in the
lehman family.

TUNE in, But
LISTEN later
BY new idea
Deferred Radio Concerts Is
innovation of European
Experts.
BD NEA Ser7,ice

BIZ NEA Serrice
LONDON, Sept. 21.-Deferred ra-
do concerts, with possible extension
of this idea to radio vision, is the
latest innovation introduced by Euro
pean scientists.
Two Viennese inventions, DIR. Mo
reno-Levy and Franz Lornitzo, re-
port having perfected a device that
receives radio programs but doesn't
make them audible until the listener
decides to hear it. In other words,
the instrument records a radio con-
cert and keeps it even permanently
if the fan desires.
The significance of this invention
lies in it's capacity to record for pos
terity addresses of famous men, and
other noteworthy talks and songs
broadcast by radio. Another advan-
tage lies in the fact that a similar
instrument can be used for broad
casting, so that an artist may record
his voice on the instrument, which
in turn would broadcast the song.
In this way, only perfect rendi-
tons could be broadcast, for mis-
takes could easily be rectified before
broadcastaing.
A steel band, somewhat like a
movie film, is drawn through the
electromagnetic of a radio headphone,
/ so as to be magnetized in accordance
with the electric impulses sent
through the instrument from the re-
ceiYer. This action takes place be-
f4Dthe headphone magnet has a
ET&&&ce to vibrate the thin diaphram
E{8at turns the electrical vibrations
Einto sound.
This magnetized steel band can,
any time later, be run through a
similar electro magnet, producing the
electric vibration that result in the
sounds heard in I. lei of headphones.
After use, the steel band can be
demagnetized and used again for
the reception of another program. If
the receiving. fan wants to keep it
permanently he may do so, just as
he might keep a photograph record.
This idea is said to have been in
vented as early as 1898, in the ap-
plication to telephone conversations,
recording the calls while a person is
out, and being used to report them
when the recipient returns.
According to further information,
the inventors of this device see in it
a possibility for it's use in radio tele-
vision.

Fifty-Five Transactions to

NEW YORK, February 4.-Plans of
the New York Stock Exchange, an
nounced for February Z, to abbreviate
symbols on 100 important stocks are
expected to speed up the stock ticker
almost 20 per cent.
The ticker would then print an
average of 55 transactions every 60
seconds upon the tape reeling from the
familiar clicking glass hive into the
basket, a Quickening in pace almost
SO per cent above that of two years
ago. The change has been made
necessary by the recent record-break-
ing bull market of 2,OO0,O0O-share
days, during which the ticker at times
has fallen as much as Is to AZ min
utes behind the actual trading.

now fed by Morse relay, and also to

Seldom does a brokers' customer, II
Is said, have more than Is separate
stock issues in his strongbox, and
he can readily memorize their changed
designations anew. The hardest hit
will be the brokers themselves and
the reporters on the floor of the Stock
Exchange, who pluck sales on the
wing from the brokers milling around
the score of trading posts, and to
them 1t is all in the game.
