" ' A NEW MACHINE ENLARGES MUSIC Wcnderf ul Developments Being Made in Wireless Telephony and bound Transmission Mr. Emmett Thompson, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. Horace Thompson who is here on a visit to his parents from Warsaw, Virginia, brought with nim a machine called a "magnavox" which enlarges the voice or any sound to such an extent that it may be heard for several miles. The . Editor cf The Star saw a demonstration of this in strument at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Thompson a few days ago and it is truly a wonderful invention which is coming into more general commercial use. The Magnavox was first used in the Democratic conven tion in St. Louis. Last March it was publicly used in Washington, D. C. to enable the thousand of ; people ' to hear President Harding's inaugural address, his voice not being strong enough to "carry" over the vast audi ence. The instrument has a small transmitter about the size of a tele phone transmitter from which a wire cord is run into an amplifier which "ftfftno J A. - 1 1 " una several nun- "'cu ww ongiimi proportion.

Mr. Thompson's demonstration was on an ordinary phonograph like those used in homes. The instrument would amplify the sound to such an extent that on a clear still night, it could be heard distinctly for, a distance of ten miles from an elevated position. The Magnovox has just been de veloped and is being put on the market where it will no doubt have a ready sale for public entertainment such as music halls, moving picture theatres, dances, etc. Some one has suggested that the town of Shelby might be induced to buy one to ba attached to a phonograph on top of the court house from which position the finest music made by the artists can be rendered to the people for miles around. -77x. - This same firm in California which makes the Magnovox is making wire less telephone instruments. It is stat ed that since wireless telephony has been developed, the United States government is discarding wireless tel egraphy on ships at sea and aircraft and replacing the instruments with wireless telephones. The telephones can be-used by anybody, there being no need cf a knowledge cf telegraph code which requires several months hard practice to master. Mr. Thompson says his company is also working on a small pocket tele phone instrument which will be a little larger than a watch. A man can carry this little instrument ia Iii3 pocket and telephone by wireless any where he wishes. PLANNING COUNTY FARMER'S PICNIC E. E.

Deputy1 Rhyne who was the chief witness in the case and on whose evidence the men were acquitted, says he ordered Jus tice to get the whiskey and take it to Ruthenjordton where it would be dis troyed, Deputy Rhyne being laid off at the time on expenses, Mr. Justice says that while in Shelby one day he found that Mr. Beam was going to Rutherfordton next day on business and engaged him to go with him early next morning after the whiskey, which they did.
