As the Average Orator Can be Heard Clearly by an Audience of About 5,000 People a Calculation Shows that if President Harding Desired to Talk to the 120,000,000 Citizens of the United States and its Possessions, He Would Have to Grow to a Height of 173 Feet, Figuring That He Would Grow in Proportion to the Average Man, i. e., in Three Dimensions, Height, Width and Depth. The Dome of the U. S. Capitol at Washington, Here Shown, Rises to a Height of 287 Feet Above the Ground and Owing to the Perspective of the Picture, it Appears Smaller Than the President. It Has Been Seriously Suggested by a Well-Known Telephone Engineer that President Harding, Within His Present Term, Will Undoubtedly Have the Satisfaction of Talking to the Equivalent of 100,000,000 People, Thanks to the Tremendous Intensification of His Voice Made Possible by the Audion Amplifier. On Armistice Day, President Harding Set a New Record for Long Distance Oratory, by Addressing Simultaneously Three Great Audiences, Totaling Over 100,000 People, Thanks to Madame Science and the Audion Amplifier. |
