We've been hearing about television, reading about television, and discussing the magic of television, but as yet we have seen no television. There have been*vague rumors of big combines tying up patents. There have been various other rumors as to cause of delay. Some skeptics of the ‘I'm from Missouri’’ school declare that the whole thing is a pipe dream, and that there never will be television of a practical sort. As usual, all the rumors are wrong. Technical perfection of the process has been a slow and difficult job, but now it is virtually complete. Broadcasting that brings what's going on to our eyes as well as our earns will begin in the United States as soon as the Federal Communications Commission assigns definite air channels on which television stations may operate. They've already held hearings, and the decision is expected any day now. Another rumor, that the cost of television is prohibitive, also seems to be pure fiction. A broadcasting station now nearing completion in the East is costing considerably less than $100,000. And receiving sets, good sets that really work satisfactorily, are being built already in some quantity for $250 or less. You'll yemeniber that the first good radio sets cost almost that much. And all this means that within a year or hee two, there'll be many an average man sitting in his home watching as well as hearing things occurring miles away, and_perhaps wondering what qconceivable magic marvel the world of science will bring him next. Two Gentlemen Meet . + Contributed) By the very nature of it, that meeting of Landon and Roosevelt at Des Moines last week was packed with drarfa. Watching them, the nation was on edge wondering what, if anything, would happen. Leaders in the rival political camps were positively jittering for fear their man might be placed in an unfavorable light even by some mere word or gesture. The sportsmanlike way-it came off, the smiles and good will each candidate had for the other, augurs well for the campaign. It looks as though neither candidate will permit his campaign workers to indulge in. attacks on the personal charVacter of his opponent. No one, of course, can prevent calumny oe playing. some part in the’campaign. There is always that. Abraham ‘Lincoln, when a_ candidate, was libélled by all manner of malicious whisperings started by unscruplous pigmies. Thomas Jefferson; too, and Teddy Roosevelt, when running for office, were maligned by censcienceless political enemies. But those who said this.was going to be the dirtiest cam.paign, the most personally bitter, mud-slinging affair ‘in history, will now have to revise their prediction. ALF. LANDONIS VISITOR IN HIS OLD HOME TOWN Fifteen hundred ‘home folks” in West Middlesex, Pa., found themselves swamped recently with over 100,000 ‘visitors’, not the least of which was a popular hometown boy, ~ called “Alf.”’ He had come all the way from Kansas, whence he “has “been governor of the state for four “years. He'd traveled:on a_ special train, with every utterance and act carefully chronicled by ten thousand newspapers. Many.of his talks were broadcast so that hundreds of Millions might know his thoughts. When he spoke on the Tam-O-Shaner golf links near by, he spoke as the Grand Old Party’s candidate for Presidency. Fully half the peoe in the land believe he will be the xt President of the United States. she did some 49 years ago. He took his ‘‘Aunt Emmy” and Uncle Bill to church, where he sat as a boy, under his grandfather Mossman’s Methodist doctrine, and fanned them both with a palm leaf fan. He seemed to take pleasure in finding the “old homestead” and the 100-yearold red-brick church ‘‘unchanged.”’ He napped after Sunday dinner, in the bedroom of the old manse where he was born. He paid special attention to his mother’s old neighbors, to ‘‘Lizzie’’ who’d “helped” her, to the lady who ‘‘gave him the chickenpox” to 91 year old Uncle Willie Padden who came over from Greenville. He shook off the swarm of reporters and photographers, to go “visitin’ around’ all Sunday afternoon, and renew auldacquaintance. He seemed unconscious of his new importance. His manners were as modest as‘any hometown boy’s. His greatest theme at “the speaking”’, to 100,000 in the audience and to 125,000,000 unseen radio fans, was simply the ancient American slogan of liberty, and freedom from dictators in government. That was the American ereed of his forefathers. It was the topic of the day. m on many previous visits; that ity” Bair sated bossed him just as The studio that § satisfies.

It developed that the cat had tried to make friends with a skunk down at the rear of the lot on little Deer Creek! In a twinkling the cat was rushed outdoors and the house opened to air.

She was rounded up suddenly: and put out and even now she ean’t quite make out why no one wants to pet her. FERRIES TO PLY AFTER GOLDEN GATE IS BRIDGED SAN FRANCISCO, Sep. 10.—Joint effort of management and employes of the Southern Pacific-Golden Gate Ferries, Ltd., and Northwestern Pacific Railroad Company to maintain an attractive alternative service to the public after the trans-bay andGolden Gate bridges are completed was indicated in the amicable settlement of the ‘dismissal wage” controversy, just announced. The agreement reached is. designed to protect employes who may lose their jobs-as a result of curtailment ; or abandonment of service by either . company due to diversion of traffic . to the bridges. The position of the Golden Gate Ferries and Northwestern Pacifie is different from that of the Key Route and Southern Pacific transbay ferries, whose suburban business will be transferred from ferry boats to electric trains the latter companies will operate over the bridges, it was pointed out. “Both the Northwestern Pacific and the Southern Pacific-Golden Gate Ferries, Ltd., will continue -to furnish frequent service in competition with the bridges, to the “extent of their_finanecial_ability to do so,’’ said A. D .MecDonald, who is chairman of the Board of Directors of. both companies, ‘‘ and the agreements signed by the representatives of the employes assure the hearty . cooperation of the employes in this effort,-as*it will mean continued employment for them and optional and additional service for. . the public.”’ { .
