The Governments Urgent Need.

Senator Smoot, chairman Of the
Public Buildings Commission, seeks
the cooperation of the President to
secure agreement by the House Of
Representatives on the pending meas
ure which provides for the expenditure
Of $50, ,000, 900 in a period Of five years
to erect needed Government buildings
in Washington. Favorable action on
the bill is expected IN the Senate i'm
mediately after the holidays. An
amendment is pending there to widen
the scope of the measure to include
the provision for buildings in other
cities, which would add $4,000, 900 to
the total. Should that amendment
carry it would be useless to send the
bill to the House. where undoubtedly
If 1t were brought up for consideration
further amendments would be adopt
ed, increasing the total to such a pro-
hibitive figure that it would challenge
and probably receive a veto on the
ground Of economy.

Is shown In the diagram the metal
collar, b, makes q connection between
springs G and c, which press against
the metal collar, thus closing the cir
cult between the terminals e and F..
When the handle is pushed in the
springs press against the insulating
portion of the handle and open the
circuit.
A Novel, Switch.
very'noyel and ingenious form Of
switch is shown in Figs. 2, 3 and 4.
In this type the closing and opening
of the circuit is done in a way similar
10 that of the switch in Fig, 1. When
the handle Is pushed in all the way
two contact, springs rest on the in
sulating material portion of the rod,
thus breaking the circuit. When the
rod is pulled out a short distance
the two springs both press and grip
the metal end OF the rod, thus max
ing contact between the two springs
and closing the circuit
The really ingenious feature of the
switch is shown in Fig. 4. The rod
can be pulled out entirely and car
ried away. thus making 1t impossible
for any one to close the A battery
circuit and use the set while the key
is In the owners pocket
A departure from the ordinary
push and pull" type of switch Ia
shown in the switch illustrated in
Fig. 8. In this type of switch fhe
circuit is closed and opened by
simply turning the knob of the switch
clockwise or counterclock wise.
So far all the switches mentioned
have been capable only of closing or
opening a single circuit.
1t often happens that it is desira BILE
to perform two or more switching
arrangements at once. For such a
purpose the jack switches shown in
Figs. s. z, and 9 were developed.
The one shown in Fig. 6 can be used
like an ordinary switch merely to
open or close a single circuit.
The jack switch shown in Fig. z
close another circuit when both cir
cults have a common lead, as. for in
stance. to switch from phones to
loudspeakers.
The jack switch shown in Fig 8
can be used to open or close two
different circuits simultaneously. 1t
is merely double arrangement Of
that shown in Fig. 6.
The jack switch shown in Fig. Q
is merely a double arrangement of
that shown in Fig. I. This type can
be used to perform the function of
switch with two different circuits
Many other combinations of spring
arrangements can be made to suit
other requirements.

GEST ASSOCIATE CHOSEN
TO DIRECT NEW STATION
Daley Paskman, Long in The
atrical World, in Charge
of WGBS.

NEW YORK, October 25.-Dailey
Paskman, who has spent nearly all
his life in the theater, and for the
last 10 years has been associated
with Morris Gest, producer of THE
Miracle" and other noteworthy pro-
ductions. adding directly in the pres
entations of Mr.. Gest, has been
chosen to direct the new radio broad
casting station WGBS, which will
open tomorrow night at o'clock.
Mr.. Paskman also has had consid-
erable newspaper experience, and has
written plays and sketches. Further,
having had excellent musical train
ing, he has collaborated with prom
inent American and foreign COM
posers in musical works-musical
comedies. operettas and so forth.
With Rudolf Friml. composer of the
current success, "Rose-Marie," he
wrote such song hits as "Chanson-
ette." "On the Blue Lagoon" in Love
musical plays, for which he has done
the book and lyrics, are to be among
early Fall presentations.
During the present productions of
the Russian "Chauve Souris" in this
country Mr.. Paskman adapted into
English all the lyrics for publica-
tion in this country which were also
used by Nikfta Balieff, Of "Chauve
Souris' fame. He will be similarly
engaged upon the return of the
"Chauve Souris" later in the season.
Mr.. Paskman was selected to direct
the policies of the new Gimbel Bros.
station because his previous expert
ence has fitted him admirably to plan
programs. 1t is believed that his
fresh point of view coming into the
radio field from the theater will do
much to provide for the radio audi
ences many unusual surprises.
