HIGHWAY RADIO is
GETTING RESULTS
Proves It's Worth i'm Recovery OF
Stolen Automobiles, Accord
ing to Reports

Raleigh, Oct. 6-Though still in
the testing phase. the State Highway
Patrol radio system has already set
up something Of a record by bring
ing about recovery of stolen auto
mobile within, 81 minutes of the time
it was reported to the radio station.
The patrol has revealed that on
Sunday, October 3, at 10:11 a. M, the
theft of cabriolet in Brunswick was
reported to State short wave station
WANL, Elizabethtown. At 1898 re-
covery of the car was reported into
the station by a patrol member BY
radio.
In addition to this record or near
record recovery, other cars have been
regained for their owners with I'M
usual speed.
Between Friday and Monday seven
thefts were reported to the patrol and
all seven were recovered, three of
them on the same day as the report.
Thefts were reported to all of the
five short wave stations of the pa
troll, W,ANK, Salisbury, getting three
reports, the others (WANL Elizabeth
town: WANT, Williamson; WANH.
Raleigh; and WANJ, Swannonoa) re-
ceiving one each.
The patrol urges all owners Of
stolen cars to report promptly by
telephone to the nearest radio sta
ton, as this will facilitate recovery
before the car has been taken beyond
reach of the patrolmen. The patrol
also points out that it will facilitate
other forms of crime detection if city
offices should be equipped with sets
offices should be euipped with sets
for receiving broadcasts by patrol sta
tons. Several hit and run drivers have
been promptly arrested through use of
the radio, patrol officials said.

ONCE UPON OCT. 9TH.

Thomas A. Edison is credited with
being the inventor of the moving pic
ture But the problem of building
camera to record actual motion was
worked out by William Kennedy Lau-
RE Dickson, young English laboratory
assistant in the Edison laboratories at
West Orange, N. j., while the master
was in Europe and Edison was as sur
prised as any layman when he saw
the first results.
Frank Lee Donoghue has recorded
the story of the October morning 4S
years ago, when Dickson told Charles
Kayser, one of his shop helpers:
"You go out and bring him in,
Charlie! But don't tell him thing"
A few minutes later, Edison entered
the room. He was freshly returned
from France, where new honors had
been heaped upon him at the Paris
Exposition. He paused on the TIRES
hold of Room No. 5, and growled a
querulous complaint: why are the
lights out. What childs play were
you fellows up to while I was away?"
For reply, there were sounds of a
scratching needle and the moving
gears, which the deaf Edison could
not hear, and a hollow voice which
startled him.
Before his eyes, limned on the wall,
was the moving figure of a man
Dickson. The hollow voice was that
of Dickson, too; for the first moving
picture was talking picture, too! An
Edison photograph had been synch-
ronized with the projection machine.
The invention would not have been
possible, of course, without George
Eastman's prior invention of nitrocel-
lulose roller films. Edison had such
immediate little regard for it, that the
device lay neglected in his shop for
seven years while he fooled around
with other things. The public didn't
get chance to see and get excited
about it until 1896, when it had it's
first demonstration in New York.

cotton picker's strike in Harnett coun-

them off in liquor to the nominal
value of 81 per day, and so the dar-

sinoleon a day cash from those who
don't provide them with Aooch.
