Text Appearing Before Image:
be held in the hand of aplayful child. San Francisco no longer is three thousand miles distantfrom New York. It is within speaking distance. Thewhole world has become one vast auditorium in which thespeech of one man may be heard by all. Chinese andPatagonians, Esquimaux and Africans, and Japanese andAmericans have become next-door neighbors and mayhear together the spech of the Parisian, the Londoner,the New Yorker or the Mexican at one time. And all ofthis because of the wireless—the Age Miracle. With the strides that wireless has made it is no idledream to picture a woman comfortably ensconced in herboudoir sipping her morning coffee and listening to atempting list of offerings at her favorite shop. The wire-less has formed the connecting link between grand operaas rendered in Chicago or New York or Philadelphia andthe fanners daughter sitting at her fathers fireside.Train orders now are sent miles through the chartlessether to the swiftly-flying train. And the end is not yet. 32
