Telephone Experts Guard
Against Leaks Over Radio
RESEARCH TRYING ELIMINATE
“CROSS TALK THROUGH
RADIO-TELEPHONE.
CHICAGO, May 7.-—New problems j
added to the tasks which have con-j
fronted engineers in designing the
modern telephone, have sprung to
the fore since the advent of radio
broadcasting. Included in the list
of these problems is the maintaining
of the factor that has made the tele
phone the great instrument it is to
day, practical secrecy in communi
cation. And this task has been brot
sharply to the attention of the engi
neer by radio.
With the improvement in the ra
diocast field, many stations are us
ing telephone lines to bring to the
transmitter events that take place
outside the station studio. Such use
of telephone lines recently led to the
placing on the air a brief part of a
telephone conversation between a
man and woman, and made possible
for the twTo telephone users to hear
a snatch of the radio program, which
consisted of a play broadcast by a
Chicago station direct from the the
ater.
Telephone engineers explained,
however, that this unusual condition
was brought about by ■what is known
as "cross talk,” caused when the
sealed wire used by the broadcaster
became crossed in the telephone ter
minal with the line being used for
telephone conversation.
Much research work has been done
by engineers to prevent this so-call
ed "cross talk,” which occurs at
times during ordinary telephone con
versations. The engineers said that
great progress had been made in
overcoming the difficulty, but that
further work was being pursued.
SMUGGLING LOSS TO

loss to Canada annually thru smug
gling by the Canadian Manufactur

reau, minister of customs, be given

Tuneful Modern Opera
Captivates City Cologne
“THE LOVE FOR THE THREE
ORANGES,” CONSIDERED
BIG FIND.
COLOGNE, May 7.—The Cologne
Opera company lays claim to the
biggest musical find of the year. It
has put on “The Love for the Three
Oranges,” the work of a Russian
composer, Serge ProkofiefF, and mu
sical critics from all over Europe
speak well of the production.
They virtually unite in saying that
there is a spontaneity and genial
ity about the music such as none of
the younger modern composers have
been able to show. Oneis reminded
of the genius of Richard Strauss. The
stage decoration are unusual and fas
cinating and the text is grotesque,
humorous, and in part ironical.
The story, a fantastic one, is told
with so much wholesome humor and
with such brilliant coloring both on
the stage and in the instrumentation,
that the critics phophesy complete
success.

If you were the only person in town that traded with
mail order concerns—it would hurt some— but it wouldn't paralyze the
prosperity of the community.
The greatest injury would be in the influence your out
of-town-trading exerted over others. Other people might follow in your
foot-steps of foreign trading and that following would prove detrimental to
home business development and betterment of public welfare.
Set a good example. Be a home buyer.^ vTake pride in
your community. Feel that money spent here at home is playing an
important part in building up the town. Know that it buys the goods
you want and goes towards some public good. That it helps increase the
efficiency of schools—puts down better street crossings—erects better
libraries—brightens the town’s lights—makes the parks more attractive—pays
for better police protection, etc.
Instead of fostering the mail order habit—fight it openly.
Teach the truth of home trading. Preach home patronage. Show mail
order buyers the error of their ways—and go out of your way to do it.
Local merchants handle the highest “'grade merchan
dise. They carry advertised brands. They sell at a proper
price—makes of goods that bear the stamp of honest manufacturers.
They deal open-handedly. They don’t cover up questionable quality
with private labels. They offer you the latest and most dependable
lines—in all lines of merchandise. Their stores are conveniently at hand. You
can reach them in a few short seconds—over the phone—or step right into their
places of business—give or leave your order—and have the goods delivered
straight to your home—all in a few minutes time.
They willinglyTccommodate you. They take particular
pains to give you just what you want right when you want it. You
don’t have to buy in big quantities to save freight or express charges. You can
spend less at a time—and save considerable sums in cash, to say nothing of the
great saving of time and trouble.
Advocate those”"advantages. Do mail order traders a
good turn by turning them away from away-from-home buying—liven
up local business, and by so doing speed the town along the road of progress.
Spend your money where it will in turn be spent for
local improvements instead of sending it away to fatten business and
better conditions of other communities. Support the community that supportsyou*}
