Combining his television equipment with apparatus similar to that for color moving pictures, Mr. Baird dem- onstrated his latest development in light transmission before an audience of scientists and newspaper men.

When the three are combined they give an im- pression of white. Mr. Baird's mechanism consisted of a disc perforated with three spirals of holes arranged consecutively round the disc. With this disc it was ible to traverse the image firstly with a blue spot of light, secondly with & red spot and thirdly with a green spot. The transmitter thus sent out first & picture which showed only the blue parts of the scene, then a picture show- ing the red parts, and lastly one show- ing only the green parts. At the re- ceiver all were combined and gave to the eye the impression of & picture in colors. The receiver, which in the case of the first demonstration was several floors removed from the transmitter, used a similar disc. BOND COMPANY SUED. U. 8.

(#)—Because watermelons sold for $35 a carload in 1026, Alabama is to have one of the most powerful radio broadcasting sta- tions in the South, atop Red Mountain, Birmingham. When Gov. Bibb Graves was stump- ing the State during the gubernatorial campaign in 1926 he reached a small town in the southern part of the State in time to see several carloads of water- melons going to waste because of the want of a bidder. The highest price offered was $35 a carload, less than the (re!ghc charges and expense of hauling. Since that time Gov. Graves concen- trated on a plan whereh{ farmers couid be kept in contact with the larger mac- kets and know what their products would bring. The broadcasting station is the result. ‘The station formerly operated as WAPI at Auburn in connection with the Alabama Polytechnic Institute will be abandoned and a new station, 10 times as powerful, will be erected. In the face of thc most adverse weather conditions, it is expected, farmers in 2ll KAUFM SEPTEMBER parts of the State will be able to receive hourly market reports. The market quotations will be re- ceived in Montgomery over a direct wire from the Department of Agriculture in ‘Washington and will be broadcast by remote control. Previously the marke: news was mailed from the State Capitol and would reach the farmers from two to four days late. In addition to the market reports the results of experiments conducted at the agricultural station at Auburn will be broadeast. PLEA TO LEAGUE SEEN IN LIQUOR SMUGGLING Doran Says Suggestion Was Made at Congress Against Alco- holism in Europe. By the Associated Press. "The suggestion that the League of Nations be asked to help the United States to work out the enforcement of its liquor laws as relating fo other countries was made unofficially to Pro- hibition Commissioner Doran while he was in Europe attending the Interna- tional Congress Against Alcoholism. Doran says that, while the expres- sions were entirely unofficial, those with whom he talked believed that the League might help in dealing with smuggling. Doran advocated before the congress that other nations require ships sailing with liquor to produce a landing certificate on their return showing that the liquor actually was 9, 9 1928—PART Injured Man Sues, But Movies Picture Him in Active Mood By the Associated Press.
