Washington An overseas tele-
phone call is an event in most
telephone offices outside Of the larger
cities. Four such calls in single
day would be something noteworthy
in most American cities, but four
overseas connections at one time at
one long distance operators position
at the switchboard, with the distant
ends Of the four conversations hum
dreds and even thousands Of miles
apart, might easily fall into the
"believe-it-or-not" category.
Yet, this is exactly what happened
recently in the Washington. D. c.,
long distance Office. One Of the con-
nections was call to London,
another was a call to Paris, the
third was to Juneau, Alaska, and the
fourth to Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The conversations with London, Paris
and Buenos Aires were handled via
New York and radio telephony, and
the one to Alaska by way of Chicago,
Seattle and radio telephony.

An electrical device which, under

actually creates speech was demon
strated recently at the Franklin In

The device is an electrical arrange

ly recognized the marvels Of Alexan-
der Graham Bells speaking tele-
phone" when first exhibited at the
Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia
in 1876.
Seated at a keyboard which looks
much like that Of an old-fashioned
parlor organ, specially trained oper-
ator presses keys singly or in combina-
ton. These operations control the
buzzing and Kissing sounds produced
by two vacuum tubes, and can be made
to simulate the sounds of the human
vocal cords almost perfectly. There
are fourteen keys and a foot pedal,
and under the delft manipulation Of
these, twenty-three different sounds
can be produced and formed into
words. With the foot pedal the opera
tor can vary the accent or emphasis,
giving the same word many different
infections. BY turning a knob, she
can make the dVoder" sound like
either a man or a woman. The ma
chine can also initiate animals and
birds.
The young women who will operate
the "Voder" at the San Francisco and
New York Worlds Fairs were selected
from more than three hundred tele-
phone operators, and through long
practice they have acquired a voca-
bulary sufficient to converse on ordi-
nary subjects.
