BEGIN JUDGING AT BABY SHOW BEFORE HARDING SPEAKS The First Annual Baby Welfare Contest, held in connection with the Calif. Valencia Orange show, got away to a mighty lusty start almost as soon as the big tents on No. Los Angeles-st were opened for business this morning. With the large number of entries it was necessary for the judging to start at the earliest possible moment to prevent the complete swamping of the physicians and nurses, so a large corps of both began the actual work of grading the youthful progeny of Orange-co and other points in the southland before President Harding officials opened the show at 10 a.m. The committee in charge of this department was quite certain that President Harding would not consider it an impertinence under the circumstances. This afternoon the baby welfare program of addresses and demonstrations was a mecca for mothers who found much of interest. Mrs. Eve Scholer Bangs, director Pacific Division of American Red of publicity and speakers for the PacCross, with headquarters, will in Anaheim yesterday afternoon. She stated after she had been here a very short time that the local Red Cross and others of the committee had done their work so thoroly that there was nothing for her to do to make the affair the success it has already been demonstrated it will be and she returned to other pressing duties in Los Angeles.

DESIGN OF CREDIT F Accustomed as we are to taking down the receiver and talking into the telephone, those privileged to sit in at the 64 phones this morning and hear President Warren G. Harding, chief executive of the United States, open the first California Va- HE WAS HERE TODAY ---ALL BUT THE SMILE Accustomed as we are to taking down the receiver and talking into the telephone, those privileged to sit in at the 64 phones this morning and hear President Warren G. Harding, chief executive of the United States, open the first California Valencia Orange Show, and those who looked on, may have that this an everyday achievement. But not so. Aside from the fact it was the first instance in history in which a president of a nation talked 3000 miles over long distance telephone to 64 of his constituents at one and the same time, the physical work of the telephonic engineering was no small feat. For four solid days and a good part of the night, two telephone engineers from San Francisco, and two from Los Angeles and ten telephone linemen have been working to make the achievement a success. The Pac. Tel. & Tel. Co. has been put to an expense of at least $500 for time and labor while several thousands of dollars worth of temporary equipment were made use of at the Anaheim exchange and at the big tent of the Valencia show. The big problem, of course, that faced the telephone engineers was not the mere cutting thru of a long distance circuit from the Atlantic coast to the Pacific coast. That is not unusual. In fact, there are several lines in constant use daily across the country, because this is the age when mail, not even by airplane, is fast enough for many people and the telephone call from Los Angeles to New York is taken as a matter of course. The real problem the telephone engineers had to solve was to deliver the voice of the President at the desired intensity to each of the 64 cars that were listening at as many receivers. For there were 64 "listening in" receivers, no more and no less. Because, in order to attain the greatest efficiency a well-defined law of telephony was recognized and the receivers were hooped up in multiples Main Dealer. This Paper Believes in the People and Desires Nothing Better Than Their Continued Confidence. TWENTY-FOURTH YEAR NS TO YOU! The First California Valencia Orange Show EXECUTIVE SAYS HE WISHES HE Would Be Here For Big Exposition History was made today for Anaheim, for Orange-co, for the Golden State, for the nation and for the world, when Warren G. Harding, chief executive of the United States, opened the first California Valencia Orange show by an address of welcome over 3900 miles of telephone wire to which 64 residents of California listened, hearing every word as distinctly as if he were talking from a phone across the street. None privileged to have one of the 64 receivers will ever forget the occasion, the solemnity of which was felt by every man and woman. And it was entirely fitting that the most avidanced use of the telephone should be dedicated to a proper recognition of the Valencia orange, the blue ribbon fruit. It was veritably a comingling of the supreme in science and the supreme in horticulture. It was an achievement for the long distance telephone and likewise for the man in introducing Mr. Chapman to President Harding. Promptly at 10 a.m., after preliminary testing out of the circuit, Mr. Albright, telephone engineer in Washington, put Mr. George Christian, the president's secretary, on the line and he was followed immediately by the president who was greeted by Powley for the telephone company. Mr. Powley then introduced Mr. Chapman who greeted the president for the executive committee of the show and the people of California. ENVOY TO ITALY May 17—Richard noted writer, has the President as ammended it was announced this morning. None privileged to have one of the 64 receivers will ever forget the ocasion, the solemnity of which was felt by every man and woman. And it was entirely fitting that the most advanced use of the telephone should be dedicated to a proper recognition of the Valencia orange, the blue ribbon fruit. It was veritably a comingling of the supreme in science and the supreme in horticulture. It was an achievement for the long distance telephone and likewise for the citrus industry. Everything pertaining to the formal opening of the exposition in this manner went thru as scheduled, thanks to the careful preparations of the engineers and experts of the Pac. Tel. and Tel. Co., who were represented at the opening ceremonies by N. R. Powley, division commercial superintendent, who acted as spokesperson in introducing Mr. Chapman to President Harding. Promptly at 10 a.m., after preliminary testing out of the circuit, Mr. Albright, telephone engineer in Washington, put Mr. George Christian, the president's secretary, on the line and he was followed immediately by the president who was greeted by Powley for the telephone company. Mr. Powley then introduced Mr. Chapman who greeted the president for the executive committed of the show and the people of California. Following the interchange of greetings between Mr. Chapman and the President, Mrs. E. E. Remsberg, sister of the President, who resides at Santa Ana, conversed with the chief executive. She started by saying: "Hello, Warren. I am glad to be present at the opening of the California Valencia Orange Show." President Harding: "That is very nice. I wish I might be there with you. Are you all well?" Mrs. Remsberg: "Yes; how is Florence?" President: "She is well and she joins me in extending greetings to you folks." Mrs. Remsberg: "I wish I could see you, but you are so far away. However, I am delighted to be able to talk to you in this way, a privilege that has been accorded me by these good people." Following this, Mr. Powley read from the stenographic report taken by Miss Elsie Perrson, of the orange show office, for the benefit of the hundreds who were not so fortunate as to have a receiver but who were interested onlookers, what the President had. The crowd greatly appreciated this. Mr. Chapman, talking thru a telephone, warmly commended Mr. Powley and the Pac. Tel. and Tel. Co. for their efforts in insuring this part of the exposition the success it was and called for a ringing ovation which was promptly and heartily given. Appreciating the importance of the occasion every newspaper in Los Angeles was represented, several by head officials, as well as practically all other important newspapers in So.Calif. There were also staff photographers galore and moving picture cameras for the Selznick, Kino-gram, Fox, International and Pathe motion pictures took many feet of film. Benighted Easterner Gets Thrill of Life A little feature of the lining up of the long circuit for the Presidents address of welcome to the Orange show was something like this: Some man at a telephone somewhere in the enclave: "Who is this?" Telephone engineer here: "This is Anaheim." we are to taking er and talking into the privileged to sit phones this morning at Warren G. Hardrive of the United first California Vashow, and those who have that this an evient. But not so, it was the first day in which a prestalked 3000 miles of telephone to 64 miles at one and the physical work of the operating was no small days and a good two telephone enfrancisco, and two and ten telephone in working to make a success. The Pac. has been put to an $500 for time and general thousands of temporary equipuse of at the Anand at the big tent show. In course, that one engineers was taking thrue of a long from the Atlantic flea, coast. That is not, there are several case daily across the this is the age when airplane, is fast people and the telelos Angeles to Now a matter of course. Then the telephone solve was to deliver president at the dereach of the 64 ears ing at as many re64 "listening in" e and no less. Becattain the greatest defined law of teleized and the reced up in multiples of eight. If any one receiver or a set of eight had gone on the blink that would have thrown out all the rest of that particular set of eight. This, however, would not neces- sarily have affected the other 56. In other words, as lined up for the demon- stration, there could not have been 63 receivers nor could there have been 65. There must be axactly 64. As to the sending telephones, there were two transmitters, one for Hon- C. C. Chapman, the president of the Cali- feria Valencia Show, and the other for Mrs. E. E. Remsberg, of Santa Ana, sister of President Hard- ing. These two sending telephones were so arranged that only one was in operation at a time. A switch threw the circuit from one transmitter to the other but the receivers were connected all the time. It may be said that the crew of engineers and linemen that has been on the job for the last four days has taken every precaution to avoid any possible breakdown in the stunt, with emergency arrangements at every possible angle. For instance, to insure against any possible breakdown in the cir- cuit between the Anaheim office and the show tent two emergency loops were provided. There were five in all. There was also provided between the telephone office and the tent a special circuit which was used as an emergency call circuit in case anything went wrong. This line went direct (and not thrue the Anaheim exchange board) from the desk at the phone office where C. H. Cole, transmission engineer of the Pac- Tel. & Tel. Co., of San Francisco, has been sitting and directing operations for a good many hours a day for several days. The heart of the whole thing, how- ever, was a one-stage and a two-stage amplifier which magnifies the President's message for his 64 hearers in Anaheim. These amplifiers consisted of various coils, condensors and several sets of batteries.
