Reports by radio from the French

from Paris was by order of the high

still held from the coast across to

Robot Voice Machine
Seen as Speech Aid

Sir Richard Paget, inventor of a
machine that talks, seems to have
confused for a time his inventive
genius and his ultimate goal; but
out of his works may come in the
end an improvement in methods of
human speech. His machine feeds
air through tube to various mouth
pieces, and by pressing the bellows
with his foot and placing a thumb
before the orifices he makes the APP
paratus utter a few simple words.
All right so far; but it is the hard
est way to talk ever demonstrated
with success.
On the other hand, Sir Richard
philosophers that, culturally, hui
man speech is thousands Of years
behind the times. He notes that
speech is the natural result of ges-
lures of the mouth and jaws, capa-
BILE Of IA variations; but that the
upper arm, forearm, wrists and fin
gers together can make 100000 ges-
lures. To complicate speech by sign
language would generally annoy all
except tourists in strange land,
but the talking machine has mis-
sion if finally perfected.
Radio, for example, would be-
come more popular if all announce
ments were broadcast by robot
voice. All would sound alike; no
peculiar hates would be attached to
voices under general classifcations
of silly, raucous, nasal, fiippant,
