Soon after midnight this morning wires stretched across palm groves and snowy mountain crests began to IS i- vibrate with the impulse of pictures on the wing. Photographs of New York's greeting to the New Year in rimes square were delivered, by wirephoto, in California before the New Year had reached the Golden Gate.

Rose Bowl Pictures. At this moment 90,000 neODle will shortly be assembled in Pasadena's famous Rose bowl to se a football game between Leland Stanford universty and the University of Alabama. When whistles blow and these great teams start their classio struggle, action photographs will be received in cities 3,000 miles away within a few moments. Tonight and tomorrow morning in wirephoto newspapers all over the land pictures of the battle of the roses will appear beside the stories of the game a feat almost great enough to stagger tne imagination. The Rose bowl game in California is only one of a score of news events at which wirephoto is a visual reporter this afternoon for newspapers far from the scene.

The moving finger of the news swerves unpredictably up and down the map. Tomorrow's news may be in New York or Minnesota or Florida. It does not matter. Wirephoto is there, to disseminate the pictures to newspapers with the story, instead of hours or days behind it pictures so perfect that wirephotos received on the other side of the continent may not be distinguished from the a A i Vf MiiiiiilTW f'-ml tm iimi hiii4 tn ,11.1 1 original photograph made at th I scene.

These are the pioneers of wirephoto, which outstrips other messengers in conveying the news in pictures just as, a century ago, the telegraph came to outstrip the carrier pineou and liie puny expiea. and, a little more than a generation ago, the typewriter relegated the stylus to oblivion.

Wirephotos proudly take their place beside the telegraph, the linotype and the high-speed press in the service of the mudern newspaper, enabling it in turn to fulfill more efficiently than ever its function of informing. a newspaper page it has taKen just scanning equipment. A light beam, thrown onto the picture as it revolves, is reflected through a tiny aperture a hundredth of an inch square. Two duralumin ribbons, only six one-thousandths of an inch wide, vibrate across this aperture. They close or open in proportion to the amount of light reflected from the picture.

The light which passes between the ribbons through the aperture is converted by a photo-electric cell Into electric impulses. The scanning equipment thus picks up the picture in fine lines a hundredth of an inch wide, at the speed of 100 lines a minute. It moves an inch a minute across the cylinder, transmitting each minute in the form of electric im- 17 minutes to send it from Los An geles to all the other cities on the wirephoto network.
