"Voice of the Sky" Soon To Be Heard 1 looming down from a height of 2,500 feet, the "Voice of the Sky" will entertain the people of this city. This marks the first appearance in this vicinity of the ingenious invention which has startled cities from coast to coast. A giant* tri-motored plan** will soar overhead. Suddenly behirul the doOr to the pilot's compartment then into the reproducers and out through the huge horns. There are thro? of these immense horns, located on one side of the plane where the seats are- ordinarily placed. Their flared mouths open on the underside of the fuselage. Each horn is equipped with nine of the world's most powerful sound reproducing units; making a totui of 27. Four small short biaded propellors provide all the power for generating c-j it will como to life. Snatches of music, hearty humfin laughter; crisp sentences will bo plainly heard by the people in the street, in offices, factories and homes. This is the ItVoice of the Sky," a tremendously amplified broadcast from the heavens. The announcer sits in a tiny onhin in the plane which is heavily insulated to shut out the roar of the engines. He apeaks softly into the microphone and his words travel along a wire through the amplyfing sets which are loeated just 1 ,r . ; _->j the 2500 watts of current necessary for operating: the mechanism. The "Voice of the Sky" is a development of many years of research and experiment, It is to make a tour of the Carolinas in connection with a gig-antic advertising program of the Puro Oil Company in behalf of its products, Purol Pep gasoline, Tiolene motor oil, and others, and is scheduled to be in Camden at an early date. Puro Oil products are distributed in Camden by the Carolina Motor Company.

Stokes announced, by Abraham M. Faber, university graduate held \y\ the slaying of two Needham policemen. Police said it involved fche Millen brothers, Irving and Milton, in a series of holdups and slayings gigantic in scope. The confession, as related by state detectives, accounted, they said, for four slayings, theater and bank robberies, theft9 from a state police exhibit at the Boston auto show and attempts to secure weapons from greater Boston armories. It would challenge belief police say, except that they have checked many of its details and declare them to be true. They confessed yesterday, state police said, to (State Detectives Stokes, Joseph L. Ferrari and Mi- ] chael Fleming. The confession freed Louis Berrett and Clement Molway, Boston (taxi drivers who have, been on trial in Salem superior .court for the slaying of a bill poster during a holdup -at the Paramount theater in Lynn. Greenville's Bloody Record That was a sad and bitter dose of information that Cy Mitchell served up to the readers of this newspaper yesterday. In 1933, ..his research showed, Greater London with its population of twelve millions had a total of twenty-one murders. In the same year Greenville county with a population of one hundred and seventeen * thousand, had forty-four murders. Of London's twenty-one murderers, nineteen were hanged and one committed suicide. The remaining case is not yet cleared up. Not one person connected with Greenville's forty-four homicides has yet forfeited his life to the State. Several have been sentenced and eighteen cases are yet to be disposed of. . A sad and bitter dose, yes, and ib ought to be a challenging one. The shame of it should arouse every Greenville citizen, every South Caro^ linian (the record of the State is similar to the record of Greenville). ?Greenville Piedmont. W. T. Smith, proprietor of a small restaurant at Oklahorrfa Cit/, Okln., unable to pay his taxes of $9.88, tendered to the county tax collector two $5 meal tickets in payment of his taxes. The tickets were returned to Smith. - The funeral of the iate John McGraw, for years manager of the Now York Giants, and one of the most popular men in baseball, was held Wednesday at Pelham, N.

Emergency relief funds were sent from Richmond to Buchanan county, southwest Virginia,, to aid Bnowboundl mountaineers in their desolate cabins, who were threatened with-famine because of feeinjy shtrt in by the snowstorms prevailing in that Section. Police of Buenos Aires raided a bank there Tuesday and arrested all the clerks, but found all of the directors and two executives missing alongwith 4,000,000 pesos (approximately $1.250,000). . In the strong boxes were exactly 96 pesos ($32). Approximately one but of every 20 Americans is on federal pay roll. - Boy Shoots Sheriff When Bomb Fails Springfield, Mass., Feb. 28.?Incensed when a bomb containing two sticks of dynamite failed to explode after he had hurled it at the feet of Deputy Sheriff David J. Manrfihg in superior court late today, John Kaminski, 18, of New Britain, Conn., shot the sheriff ip the leg. Overpowered by deputy sheriffs and stripped of his clothing, Kaminwas found to have two other crudely constructed bombs, two pistols and two knives in his possession. He wore a steel vest. Court had just adjourned for the day after the trial of Kaminski's brother, Alexander, and l'aul War go, of Wallingford, Conn., for the murder of a jail guard when John Kum inski strode down through the room. The crowd of more than 100 .spectators was moving toward the exits and Sheriff Manning was returning after having escorted Judge Nelson I*. Hrown to the lobby. Confronting Manning about 10 feet in front of the dock in which his brother and Wargo sat, Kaminski exchanged words with the official. Quickly he pushed a paper-w rapped package at the sheriff's feet. A percussion vhp exploded with a weak report,- ' * Manning pushed the youth into a seat and before he could act further, the boy whipped out a pistol and fired. So qftickly did the action occur that it was not until Manning reached a hospital that court attaches realized that it was a bullet wound a?1U not a fragment from the bomb that had wounded him. Physicians said it was gi , ;-jLUjaim J merely a flesh wound and Manning was allowed to go to his homo later. Kaminski was taken to the police station. The trial of Alexander Kaminski! and Wargo was for the fatal beating j last October of Morritt W. llayde, a Springfield jail guard, as they fled from that institution. Kaminski was arrested in Lynchburg, Va., for breaking into a store and eventually returned hero. The senate on Tuesday added another estimated 55,000,000 for World war veterans to the independent office bill.
