...fruit of ten years' work by the Bell Laboratories, the equipment was built on a new principle.* It could send 11 sq. in. of picture per minute, half a newspaper page in 17 min.

It came to him last month in a letter from Dr. William Edmund Aughinbaugh. elderly physician, lawyer, author, explorer, who worked on plagues in India, Burma, Arabia, China, Latin America, many another far-flung frontier. Dr. Aughinbaugh proposed that the News print a daily anecdote from his long and adventurous career. Editor Patterson liked the idea, decided to try it. For a month the strip ran along with fairly typical reminiscences of a traveled medical man. Then, last week, it burst out with an extraordinary tale of how Burma's White Elephant...
