　　The facsimile newspaper is equally practicable now. Such anewspaper would go to press at the local radio station at 5:00A M.，say，would be broadcast from FM transmitters，and woulddrop，automatically folded， from the home radio receiver readyfor the family breakfast table.

L.Hogan，one of the ablest experts in the facsimile field，estimatesthat receivers may come down to the price of radio phono-graphs，say $ 100-$ 400. The paper，to be provided by the read-er，at present costs four cents for a four-page facsimile edition.But Hogan estimates that it eventually may cost only a penny-actually cheaper than the printed newspaper.
