see and hear the artists in the broad

The feat of seeing and hearing
man moving about talking in a dark

been accomplished during television
demonstration at Schenectady, N. Y,
staged by DR.. E. F. w. AleXanderson,
research engineer of the General
Electric Company and consulting en-
gineer of the Radio Corporation of
America.
Television has been demonstrated
before. Tests by the American Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company a year
ago showed what might be done. But
DR.. Alexanderson's demonstration of
television furnishes the first absolute
proof that homes throughout the
world may be connected by sight as
they have been by sound.
1t is predicted that within five
years television receiving sets will be
manufactured and sold on a large
scale.
In the Schenectady tests man stood
talking and smoking a cigarette be-
fore the transmitting device in the
General Electric Company's radio lab
Oratories. In three Schenectady homes
other men gathered about receiving
sets heard the voice of the man il
the darkened room several miles away

he talked about the experiment. Their
others took their places before the
transmitting device and were seen by
the men in the homes.

WELSH COAL MINERS
FAMILIES STARVE

London-(FP)-"In the Welsh val
leys, in Yorkshire and in Durham,
there are hundreds of children, espe-
cially babies, whose chance of life Is
.precarious if help is not brought to
them. There are expectant mothers
who have no clothing for the infants"
The Westminster Gazette, organ of
the Lloyd George Liberals, describes
the plight of Britain's miners in these
words in a charity appeal for its Save
the Children Fund. Another article in
this powerful British daily, which can
hardly be accused of sensationalism,
is headlined:
go, 900 Homes Stricken By Starvation
Funds sent to Blaine and NantyglO,
two Welsh mining towns, are ere
served for providing one hot meal a
day for men who are not receiving a
penny from the state or the local COM
missioners in charge of poor law re-
lief. By this course the little children
in each home will be saved in some
degree from the menace of starvation,
when the household has one less
mouth to feed"
Liberal Party efforts follow some

the Labor Party to relieve through
charity what the general strike, the
miners strike and the indomitable
spirit of the coaldiggers themselves
have failed 70 accomplish, to ward
off starvation from 100000 miners
and their families.
/ In another column of the Lloyd
George organ is seen the purpose be-
hind the sudden burst Of sympathy.
Liberal party organizers are travelling
up and down the coal fields trying to
wean the miners away from Labor.
Lloyd George has evolved a mine
and power policy to accompany his
widely-heralded land policy and one
of Liberalism's strongest vote-getters
will oppose Ramsay Macdonald at the
next election in his own constituency
of Aberavon in South Wales. He is
Capt. Williams, who explains his so
licitude over the miners in these
words:
"The Liberal policy on coal aIlc
power is so framed that it provides
for the prevention of what ! have
called the breeding grounds of Boil
shB1ism"

promptly shut off his electric light

union in district 5, did not have a

the church, due to the action of the
