HAVE YOU EVER HEARD A SNEEZE BROADCAST?
One can imagine the devastating effect of an involuntary sneeze into that delicate instrument, the microphone. It is not generally known that announcers take special precautions to prevent sneezing and coughing on their part being broadcast.
As the announcer sits at his table waiting for the signal to announce the next item he has a small control box before him. When the item is finished a little red light flickers and the announcer switches on the control. Until he does this nothing can be heard from his room. ■ Should he wish to cough, sneeze, or clear his throat when announcing, it is the work of a moment to switch off the control, and then switch on again when the paroxysm is finished.
We have no doubt also that a number of announcers in common with other intelligent people take the precaution of always having a bottle of Baxter's Lung Preserver handy to cut short the course of any cold, "Baxter's" is absolutely indispensable to speakers singers, and all who must keep in good voice. ■•■■ '.•■:- ■ "Baxter's" is the best friend of all sufferers from sore throats and chest colds and gives wonderful relief . to bronchitis and asthma sufferers. All chemists and stores sell "Baxter's." Is 6d, 2s. 6d, and 4s 6d.—Advt
