DETROIT.-What next?
 Reporters at the scene of activity typing story being transcribed sim nltaneously in numberless. editorial rooms or homes.
 Police guided quickly to the scene of "a crime by a code message which cannot be intercepted.
 Actors in a central broadcasting station depicting drama as it is ap- bearing, words and actions, in thou sand theaters throughout the world.
 All these possibilities are con- tained in the Watsongraph, a radio apparatus demonstrated Wednesday morning by it's inventor, Glenn W. Watson, at the Wardell Apartments, in the presence of radio and. eleci trical engineers.
 An ordinary machine, resembling a typewriter, to which a revolving disc had been attached, had been set up in 1eae room. A machine resembling it was in distant room. All that was needed to operate the machine, the. inventor pointed out, was a knowledge of the alphabet. He typed a message on the keyboard. In the distant room, catching the radio im- pulses, the receiving machine record sd it instantly.
 A clever machine, the witnesses agreed. A machine which will revo- lutionize the transition of written messages with precision, rapidity and, if desired, secrecy.
 The success of the machine, it was said, lies in the generalization of the revolving discs. Each contains the letters of the alphabet. Each revolves in perfect rythm with the other.
 As the key for letter is depressed the characteristic impulse of that let

Bank In L. s.

CHICAGO, June 6.-P-Melvin
Alvah Traylor, who never saw a
railroad train until he was 10 years
old, sat today at the head Of the
nations fifth largest bank.
The president Of the First Ma
tional bank, now only 50. complet-
ed today a merger with the Fore
man-State National Bank, climax
ing his rapid rise TO financial
fame. Amalgamation of these two
IN buttons was another triumph
fo<A1 kTaylor, a former president OF
the American Bankers Association.
Traylor never owned a pair OF
shoes until he was eve or saw a
train until he left his fathers back
woods farm in Southern Kentucky
at 10 to seek his fortune in Texas,
but today his judgment affects 3I5
per cent Of all the country's bank
deposits.
He sometimes refers 10 himself as
@ hill billy. His financial shrewd-
ness was bred by the hard work OF
making ends meet in those almost
inaccessible Kentucky nils.
Texas still remembers him as a
wise judge Of "cattle paper prin-
cipal medium OF exchange IN the
land where he learned the banking
business and its prime tenet. making
sound loans.
The international financial career
Of Mel" Traylor began in the bank
OF Malone. Tex. where he was
cashier. teller. janitor and guard.
Two years later the Citizens Ma
tional OF Ballinger, Tex, acquired
his services. In less than a year II

which the stockholders voted 70
Traylor on that occasion is still one
OF his most priced possessions.
Traylor escaped the Texas live
stock crash Of 1919 and he's till a
good judge of cattle paper" He
warned often of the impending
depression which began in 1929.
Only a few weeks AFRO he scored
many brokers for taking advantage
OF small investors instead Of pro-
tecting them in marginal markets.
and blamed the financiers for the
bull" stock market crash Of two
years ago.
