Telephotographs to Be Sent From Here Local Manager E. T. Brown Can Now Transmit Pictures With the electrical transmission of pictures between Los Angeles and six other cities of the United States now possible, since the opening of the Los Angeles telephotograph station this week, C. T. Brown, manager of The Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company, stated yesterday that he is now ready to accept pictures for transmission from Los Angeles. Pictures to be sent from Anaheim will be forwarded to Los Angeles by Mr. Brown by special delivery mail and then transmitted over telephone wire to the nearest city having telephotograph service. Pictures addressed to anyone in Anaheim will be sent by special delivery mail to Anaheim and then delivered by Manager Brown. The telephotograph apparatus is a development of engineers of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company and the Bell Telephone Laboratories, Inc., and is the outcome of work covering several years to provide a rapid and accurate means of the transmission of pictures. The apparatus in its present form represents the association of many recent inventions, together with standard types of telephone and telegraph apparatus which have been readapted to this new use. With the opening of the station in Los Angeles, it becomes possible to send pictures electrically to New York, Chicago, Boston, Cleveland, Atlanta and San Francisco and to receive them from the same cities. Simultaneous transmission from any one to the other six cities may also be effected if necessary. The simplicity of the method is such that a positive transparent film made from any subject matter is suitable for transmission. The apparatus is so designed as to transmit a picture five inches by seven inches in seven minutes. The picture is received in such form that after photographic development of the usual sort, it is ready for newspaper or other reproduction. Line drawings, printing and handwriting can also be transmitted. As films can be used for transmission with this system eliminates the would otherwise be no drying. The positive film is insulated transmitter simply by roll a cylindrical form. During mission a very small and of light shines through the photo-electric cell within. It rotated at a uniform speed means of a screw mechanism to advance parallel to the cylinder. The relative motion light to the picture on the therefore the same as that graph needle to a cylindric this way, each minute per picture in turn affects the light reaching the cell. This variation in the light striking the sensitive cell gives rise to current which, through the agency tube amplifier and modulo the current flowing through phone line. At the receiving end, a photographic film is rotated beam of light in a manner that at the transmitting cells are caused to rotate the same speed and the iming from the photo-electr sending end control, by me device known as a light amount of light reaching the receiving end.

The positive film is inserted in the transmitter simply by rolling it up in a cylindrical form. During the transmission a very small and intense beam of light shines through the film onto a photo-electric cell within. The film is rotated at a uniform speed and, by means of a screw mechanism, is caused to advance parallel to the axis of the cylinder. The relative motion of the light to the picture on the cylinder is therefore the same as that of a phonograph needle to a cylindrical record. In this way, each minute portion of the picture in turn affects the intensity of the light reaching the photo-electric cell. This variation in the amount of light striking the sensitive surface of the cell gives rise to current variations which, through the agency of a vacuum tube amplifier and modulator, control the current flowing through the telephone line. At the receiving end, an unexposed photographic film is rotated under a beam of light in a manner similar to that at the transmitting end. The two films are caused to rotate at exactly the same speed and the impulses starting from the photo-electric cell at the sending end control, by means of a new device known as a light valve, the amount of light reaching the film at the receiving end. The time of actual transmission of a picture, about seven minutes, is a relatively small part of the total time elapsing between the taking of the picture and its final delivery in the form of a print. Most of the total time is used in the purely photographic operations. When these are reduced by using the films while still wet, the over-all time is reduced about one hour. Pictures transmitted electrically by the process are suitable for all purposes for which direct photographic prints can be used. The telephotograph stations in the seven cities are connected together by long distance telephone lines over which the current carrying the picture is transmitted. The ultimate route of the long distance lines will be from San Francisco to Los Angeles, Los Angeles to St. Louis, St. Louis to Chicago, Chicago to Cleveland, Cleveland to New York, and to Boston. Popular Couple Are United in Marriage Jimmie Heffron and Miss Helen Marsh Joined in Wedlock Jimmie Heffron, sporting editor of the Bulletin, and Miss Helen Marsh, secretary-treasurer of the Bulletin Publishing Company, were married at St. Pontiface's church Monday morning, and immediately left town on a short honeymoon tour. Both these young people are prominent in newspapers circles, and are well known to the people of Anaheim, who hold them in esteem. Jimmie came to Anaheim from Portland, Ore., five years ago, and took a position on a newspaper. Miss Marsh came here from Los Angeles about the same date and has been connected with newspaper work ever since. Both have acquired a reputation for efficiency in their allotted work. They have made a host of friends during their business career here. After a few days' absence on their honeymoon trip, the newlyweds returned to this city, and are preparing a home for themselves. Congratulations of a host of warm friends are being showered upon them, and this paper joins in wishing them a long, happy and prosperous life. DELPHIANS ENTERTAIN The Fullerton chapter of Delphians were guests of Anaheim Delphian chapter at its regular meeting Tuesday morning in the parloros of the El Torre hotel. Mrs. O. L. Shoenaker had charge of the music and presented two of her pupils, Miss Pearl Webber of Fullerton and Frank Ashleigh of Anaheim, each presenting a group of plano numbers. Mrs. D. H. Van Meter told the story of Robert and Clara Schuman, "The Most Wonderful Romance in Musical History"; "A Character Sketch of Franz Schubert," Mrs. G. M. Tedrick; "For Lyricas, Young Lyricas Is Dead," by Stuart Paddington, commenting on the death of some great musicians, was read by Mrs. A. B. Prescott; Life of "The Elephant." Data Secured on Newhope Drainage During the past year there has been carried on a more or less intensive study of the efficiency of the Newhope drainage district, which is located just west of the Santa Ana river. This district, declared by many engineers to be among the most complete and modern in the country, was installed some four years ago in order to take care of a rising water level which had temporarily ruined some of the land and was affecting more all of the time. In order to study the efficiency of this system, as well as to gather accurate data on the subject of drainage in general, 10 test wells were installed in January, 1926, by the district directors, co-operating with (the farm advisor's office). These wells have been read regularly during the past year and some very interesting data secured. In the first place, the water levels showed a distinct lowering soon after the drainage lines were installed. In one case the water level receded from three feet to slightly more than six feet. All of the locations showed corresponding improvement in conditions. The monthly well readings have carefully charted on sectional paper. These charts are very interesting and bring out some valuable information. First a sharp rise of water levels was noted in April, after the heavy rainfall at that time. This rise was taken care of very quickly by the daring lines. There was, however, another distinct rise of the water in August, which was not looked for. On checking this over more carefully, it was found that the wells located in intensively farmed districts were the ones which showed a rise in water levels. From this we would naturally assume that some of the farmers in the district are using too much water. Inasmuch as the major soil type in the entire district is sandy, it is easy to see how too much water can be used. This excessive use of water will not necessarily do any harm to the land or the crops growing on it, now that drainage lines are installed, but it is a waste of water, and as such is a useless expense. Club Women Assist Forest Planting New Members Join Local Legion Post Seven veterans of the World war were initiated into the local American Legion post at their regular meeting Tuesday night. The following were those admitted: Gus Aspelin, Dr. Glidden, J. L. Guss, Leo Harb, Floyd Roseberg, C. A. Johnson and Stockwell. An opportunity is afforded Orange county legionnaires to witness "What Price Glory" at the Carthay Circle theater on Thursday night. Special trains are scheduled to leave various points of the county via the Pacific Electric in time to reach the theater, and any member of the Legion can secure tickets from Comrade Griffith at the Bank of America at reduced rates for this show. Several men from the local post accompanied the Orange county delegation, which was backing Stimson, the swimmer from Massachusetts in the Catalina swim last Saturday. Solos by Mrs. Cheatum, accompanied by Miss Van Ness of Santa Ana, featured the program of the evening. The refreshment committee provided "cats" to top off the evening. Club Women Assist Forest Planting The forest conservation division of the Federated Women's Clubs of Orange County have offered their assistance in the forest tree planting that will take place at the Orange County park, Saturday, January 22, beginning at 10 a.m., under the auspices of the Orange County Farm Bureau. Mrs. George T. Kellogg, chairman of the division, states that the ladies want a part in this big co-operative undertaking and are willing to wield a shovel as well as the men, although perhaps not so often. She plans for members of her committee to be present when the planting begins at 10 o'clock and actually assist in planting a few of the trees. They are also planning on making notes of the operations and lectures that follow the luncheon. The Orange County Agricultural Club members will also be present to lend their assistance. Under the direction of Assistant Farm Advisor Raymond Ellis, the boys wily carry trees to the shovel wielders, but they, too, insist on the privilege of planting a few of the trees. Coulter pines, which have made such a phenomenal growth in the lower altitudes of Los Angeles county, will be the predominating variety planted, but other varieties will also be given a test. These include Monterey pine, Japanese red pine, Norway spruce, Western yellow pine, and Port Oxford cedar. Brief talks are scheduled by Willard Smith, county supervisor; J. B. Elliott, forest supervisor, and Prof. Woodbridge Metcalf, extension specialist in forestry. After these talks the seedling cypress imported from the Garden of Gehsemane will be dedicated to the park and the party will be permitted to visit the seed beds where pines are being propagated for future planting. Convenient signs will be placed in the park to direct the crowd to where the trees are being planted. BANKERS ENTERTAIN W. H. Schureman, manager of the Anaheim Citrus Fruit Association; G. W.
