The radio impulses are generated
by similar looking machine at the

in the transmitter Is that the lines of
the original drawing, either in a spe-
cial metallic ink or etched on zinc,
form an electrical contact between the
points of the tracing pen making

is broadcast. The arms of the trans
mitter and receiver being synchronized
automatically, the sporadic impulses
thus radioed are made to operate the

need which has caused the creation in
other cities of large endowed public

Casino Directors
Adopt Ruse to Ban
Counterfeit Chips
By the Associated Press.


PARIS, April 10.-Without a
murmur of publicity and at the
cost of 100000 francs the directors
of Rivieri casinos have met and de-
feated the, activities of a clever
band OF chip counterfeiters who
recently threatened to upset the
financial solidarity of the gambling
halls.
Six weeks ago counterfeit 90
frame and 100-franc chips began to
make their appearance in three of
the largest casinos. Efforts to dis
cover their origin proved fruitless
and the losses in one casino
reached $4,000 francs.
Instead of calling in the police.
the casino directors called in the
engravers. Soon players were sur
prised to find they were handling
new chips, decorated with pictures
of animals, birds and musical in
struments. The directors affirm
that these designs enabled the
croupiers to identify good chips
more easily and make counterfeit
ing a great deal mep@ difficult
