Channels Pulling

THE laboratory work upon tele-'
Il vision has been pretty well &C
complished, in the opinion Of Felix.
Many Of the elements of the
teIevision system are highly devel-
open and fully capable of doing
their part in producing and repro
ducing moving images" he writes.
Commercial problems, however,
remain. One Of the most important
is due to the fact that it now re-
quires a wide radio channel to
transmit television adequately.
Considering the fact that the
ether already is overcrowded with
ordinary broadcasting, this is seri-
Gus obstacle.
"a major invention which effects
a radical conservation of radio
channel requirements will provide a
considerable impetus to the COM
mercial progress Of the art" he con-
tinues.
I'm fact. if television is to be &C
complished through radio broad
cast transmission, such invention is
quite essential to material progress
in the science"
But Felix is hopeful He goes on
to say, Every great invention has
faced such obstacles.
Radio telephony and broadcast
ing remained in the embyro stage
for a decade, awaiting a practical
system of carrier meditation; the
automotive industry marked time
until an adequate highway system
spread it's network over the land;
long distance telephony needed the
vacuum-tube relay before it could
come into its own"

The Equality of Love

ON the contrary, unless the man
" is a downright cad he should
feel flattered. If a woman we're to
declare her passion for me I'm sure
that my opinion of her would rise
in leaps and bounds. She would APP
pear to me in an entirely new light
"a person of discernment and good
taste. Immediately she would take
on new interest and a new beauty
in my eyes.
1t seems to me unfair and cruel
to expect woman to keep silent,
like Patience on a monument, while
her heart is near the breaking point
under the weight of her emotion.
Once man has declared his pas
sion, even though he has little or
no hope of winning the object of
his affections, he feels better.
He has taken part of the burden
off himself and can share it with his
loved one. At least, he knows that
heart breaking suspense has been
mitigated. And if the relationship
continues it assumes a definite tenor.
Even if the loveSick swain continues
to plead and pine, he can do so ar
ticulately, without the fear of Civ
ing offense.

A NYONE interested in the ques
L n ton of television will find
much valuable information in "Tele-
vision, It's Methods and Uses" by
Edgar H. Felix.
The book is published by the Nc
Graw-Hill Co., who have a reputa-
ton of many years standing as the
publishers of authoritative books on
scientific and technical subjects.
Felix observes quite truly, THE
instrumentalities of television have
recently improved Tremendously by
virtue of scientific progress in other
fields, such as the electrical trans
mission of audible frequencies,
photo electric tubes, vacuum tube
amplifiers and motion picture pro-
lection.
Realizing the enthusiasm with
which the public will greet a tele-
vision service Offering visual pro-
grams of real educational and en-
tertainment merit, a vast amount
Of inventive talent and enormous
research facilities have been con-
centrated upon its development"
But the big question at the pres
ent time, Felix adds, is when will
television arrived"
To that, he replies, THAT CUES
ton is not answered easily. Year
after year, those commercially in
terested in its future have stated
that television is "just around the
corner"
Admittedly, the recent accom-
plishments Of co-ordinated research
concentrated upon the solution Of
the remaining problems of televi-
sion lends force to the prediction
that practical television is soon to
be an accomplished fact"

UTHAT about television7 That is
w the important question in
the radio industry today. Rumors
fly about with a frequency and
rapidity which is reminiscent OF an
army camp in the World war.
One rumor says that practical
television is fifty years away. An
other has it-like prosperity-just
around the corner.
According to one report, teievi-
sion is going to put the theaters.
the movies and the newspapers all
out of business within a decade.
According to another, it never will
be anything but a novelty and q
toy.
Meanwhile radio manufacturers
and dealers hold their heads and
look none too happy about the sit
uation. AS far as they are con-
cerned the radio industry has suf-
fered from too much progress. 1t
is one more paradox to be added to
the crazy-quilt of recent economic
history.
The farmers are suffering because
crops are too good. The radio deal
ers say their misfortunes came from
too much inventive genius.
No sooner was one radio on the
market than somebody invented
better one. A new set became
obsolete before the ink dried on the
advertisements.
Now those same dealers listen to
the televiSion rumorS and ask them
selves if history is about to repeat
itself. 1t is small wonder that their
heads ache.

Peoples Voice

Editor Times If Indianapolis
would employ only people of In
dianapolis, who live here, it would
help make times better here. Then
the vacant houses would fill up
which would help the real estate
business. Then those who are work.
ing would help pay expenses of the
city. Those who now are working
take their money to some other
town. The dancer ought to pay the
fiddler.
Now the music starts as to what is
the matter with this country. The
Republican party has been in power
too long. It has done SO much for
the farmer that his crops will not
pay for the gathering of them and
high taxes have ruined them so they
have to come to town and take the
city mans job. He really belongs
back on the farm. But Hoover has
made so much prosperity. Lincoln
freed the Negro and Hoover freed
the working man out of a job.
Now we are wearing patched
pants and not only that, many in
America are going hungry. If he
does anything just before election
to fool the farmer again he'll be the
next Republican President. All the
newspapers would have called this a
panic in large headlines if it had
been a Democratic President in the
chair, but it was Hoover, the rich
mans king, whom Mr.. Mellon tells
what to do.
He told him before he was elected
and is still doing it with the rest of
the rich. There never was a panic
under a Democrat president except
one and that was hangover from
the Republican party down to
Grover Cleveland. Now count the
number of panics your old party has
had and who ought to be elected in
1892? Franklin D. Roosevelt. We
want President who spends his
life here and not abroad; who will
look after the affairs at home and
not for the interest of Mellon and
Wall Street and foreign countries,
but America, first, all the time. A
President that can tell Wall Street
and the rich where to head in.

GENERAL MEETING

The first general meeting of the
Red Lodge Women's club was held
Tuesday evening at the library
club rooms, to discuss club activi-
ty for the winter season.
1t was decided that the Philan-
thropic department of the club
will join it's functions this winter
with those of the county Red Cross
and other benevolent organiza-
tions. Mrs. J. F. Brophy, as chair
man of the department, will direct
the clubs charity work.
At Tuesdays meeting, Mrs. G.
P. Keyes resigned as treasurer,
and Miss Margaret Rogers was
elected to the vacant position.
Mrs. Frank Durant reported on
the district meeting of the Fed
GRAFTON of Women's Clubs, held at
Livingston last week. A report
on the county federation picnic,
by Mrs. Walter Hay, was heard.
Before adjournment, the club
voted to enter competition in the
state and general contests to be
sponsored this year by the gener-

WILL EXTEND ROAD
IMPROVEMENTS TO
RED LODGE CREEK
Cutoff VIII Remove Dead
mans Curve. Work on
Luther Road Practically
Complete.

County road construction outfits
this week were finishing the grav-
cling of the Luther road, while
plans have been made to carry
highway operations on to the east
Red Lodge creek road as soon as
the machinery is available.
The road west of Luther, be-
tween the Powers hill and point
just outside of the town of Luth-
er, has been thoroughly recondi-
toned during the past month.
Ditchers and graders were in use
over the six-mile stretch, widen
ing the road bed and Strengthening
the grade in some places. Seven
county trucks were hauling the
last of the gravel for surfacing
last week.
Although county outfits will do
no further work on the roads near
Luther this year, more improve
ment in the region may be ac-
complished before winter sets in.
Farmers of the region east of
Luther may get together to make
such repairs to the road there as
they think necessary.
The power shovel that has been
digging gravel for the Luther
road is to be moved from its loca-
tion on the A. A. Ellis ranch and
taken down on to the Red Lodge
creek route, where it will be used
to rough out new sections of
road.
Elimination of Cd d mans
curve will be the biggest part of
the job on that county road. Ac-
cording to the plan of the county
surveyor, a cutoff is to be made
that will straighten and level out
the road here-which has always
been a dangerous curve to motor
lists. Seven cars are known to
have been accidentally driven off
the road on the curve this summer.
The new route will pass across
the bottomland close to the Crane
ranch house, and it's construction
will require the diversion of the
channel of Red Lodge creek.

COMMISSIONERS MEET
IN REGULAR SESSIONS
Three DAYS THIS week

Routine business occupied the
board of county commissioners
during the three days of is reg

week.
The county treasurer was au-
thorized by the commission to
transfer $500 from the county
unit-sinking fund to the county
unit interest fund, and to carry
poor fund warrants as cash-on-
hand until Dec. 1881. Road claims
and bills were audited and allow
ed.
The bonds of the various banks
carrying county deposits were ex-
anined by the board and approx
ed. Quarterly and monthly re-
ports of the county treasurer were
heard, as well as the monthly re-
port of the county clerk, and of
the clerk of the district court.
Commissioners filed reports con-
corning the county roads in their
districts.
