A vision of Lovey. small and blue
eyed as a Persian kitten. flashed
across Emmys mind for an instant.
1t seemed impossible that anyone
who looked as helpless as Lovey
looked could be the kind Of girl that
Mariana said she was.
"Of course. on the other hand, 1t

Mariana shrugged her shoulders.

There was something secret and

that size flashed at Emmy. and
Emmy began to feel vaguely un-
comfortable. She never could get

Mariana discussed her frequent
and harmless love affairs. To Emmy
love was something between Just
two people; something that you
kept close in your heart. And 80 she

 Thousands of listeners heard a prolonged squeal. lasting for 90 sec onds and punctuated by a swift, regular cracking. as station WEAE of the National Broadcasting Com- pany put the picture of New York's mayor on the air.

 The mayor listened intently to the squeal as he sat in the studio.
 That sound indicates you're going over," said Grover Whalen chairman or the mayors committee for the reception of distinguished visitors,
 Tt sounds as If I had a beard. I must need shave" the mayor an- swered.

 Dr. E. F. w. Alexanderson of the General Electric Company, inventor of the broadcasting and receiving outfits used. explained its use. The light from an automobile headlight was focused through | lens into the photograph to be sent, which was revolved. The image. as re- flected by a beam of light, was broken by the notched edge of a re- volving disc. falling, upon a photo- electric cell. By this process tho light waves were converted into electrical impulses. amplified and in the usual manner,
