new device known as light valve, the

The apparatus used in the present
demonstration is set up to send pictures
from Cleveland to New York. The re-
ceiving apparatus at New York is in
stalled in the main office of the Amer
lean Telephone and Telegraph company
at 195 Broadway. The sending and re-
sewing apparatus are connected togeth-
er by means of long distance tele-
phone line over which the current car
rying the picture is transmitted.
AS will be seen from the accompany
ing Illustrations, portraits and land
scapes may be transmitted with equal
clearness and the system may also be
used for long, distance transmission of
fac simile of handwriting, printing
and line drawings. Commentators on
the system have also pointed out that
in addition to the transmission of pho
tographs for news purposes, it will be
of great value to police departments
and other officials in the identifica-
tion and apprehension of criminals,
and in similar work where it is desira
BILE to transmit photographs without de-
lay between distant cities. 1t may also
be used for the Identification of stolen
or missing property, in verifying sig
natures on bank paper and other docu-
ments, and for a number of similar
purposes.
Regarding the use of the system,
officials of the American Telephone
and Telegraph company have announc-
ed that the extent to which it will be
installed on their long distance lines
will depend entirely upon the demand
for the service.
Tests have proved that the system is
applicable for radio transmission of
pictures when atmospheric conditions
are such that transmission free from
interference can be assured.

Plan NeuO Buildings
With Eye to Future

1t has often been criticism of
Americans that they are short-sighted,
that they pay too much attention to
the Immediate thing, and not enough
to the future. To some extent, the his.
tory of this country, especially in the
early days, bears out this contention.
Even today we see many tendencies
to disregard the future and be waste
ful with the present. For example, let
US take home construction.
Nearly everybody knows of in.
stances OF wildcat promotional
schemes in connection with new city
additions. where houses have been
thrown up In wholesale fashion. Often
these homes have been of the most
fimsy type Of construction. They have
been built solely with the idea of hav-
Ing good appearance Cor the time,
long enough to sell them. The builder,
whose only idea has been promotion,
has not cnred whether the houses were
permanent.
Such building MS this has often
caused false construction standards.
America could well take lessons
from Europe in home building. Many
OF the dwellings of Europe today are
hundreds of years old. The reason for
this Is that hundreds of years ago Eu.
rope began to feel the need of conserv-
Ing materials by adopting type OF
construction that would endure, that
would not necessltate replacement and
constant repairs.
The outcome Of this need was the
utmost universal adoption Of various
forms Of masonry construction. The
masonry houses Of Europe are often

Doubling Taxation
Then, too. there is the matter of
taxation. The railroads, under pri
vate ownership, are among our heav
lest taxpayers. Last year they paid
taxes amounting to 50 for every man.
woman and child in the country. In
some counties, particularly in the Mid
die West, the railroads pay from 10
per cent to nearly so per cent of the
taxes collected. Under Government
ownership, the railroads would be no
more subject to taxation than the
post offices now are. In some way
the Government would have to make
up the difference of 50 a head for
every person in the country. In>many
counties the taxes on the re-
naming property would have to be
nearly doubled. The result would be
an unbearable burden that might
force many Of our local governments
to stop payments on their bonds and
so into bankruptcy. The tax prob.
lem would be great deal more vexa.
tious than 1t is today.
Then. too, the acquisition Of the
railroads would add more than twenty
billion dollars to our national debt
II Government railroads in this coun.
try were no more successful than
they are elsewhere today in the
world, the interest on that twenty bill.
lions Of purchase price would be the
cause for additional burdens on the
taxpayers left to carry 1t. AS the tax
burden developed, 1t would not be
surprising to see other industries well
coming Government ownership for
themselves. They would gain i'm.
munity from taxation in turn. and
their owners probably would be pro.
tected from loss. The Constitution
prevents the confscation Of private
and Government ownership
can be accomplished only by paying q
fair price for the properties taken
over.

NAVY SUBMARINE
 LAUNCHED TODAY
Second Of Series Of Large Ships
 Strikes Waters

Portsmouth, N. IT., Dee. s7. - Fleet submarine U. $. $. N-2, the second of the series Of large sea- going submarines, tho largest ever constructed for the United States hayy, will be launched shortly after noon today at the Portsmouth navy yard, according 10 the announced plans of officials here.
 The under sea boat is sister ship of the Vi, launched here July IT.. last. Each of the vessels is twice as large as any ever previously con- structe1 in the United states and are the largest craft built at the Ports mouth yard since the Civil War They are, tho first of group Of nine submarines authorized by congress in 19l6.
 The V-c, which is 34l feet 6 inches over all and dIspaces 2,16f tons on the surface. is designed with full capacity, provision allowance and repair facilities which will al- low 1t to cruise as member of the fleet at sea in any weather and will be able 10 maintain any speed of which the fleet itself is capable. Her surface speed will be 2l knots and. submerged, nine knots.
 The submarine will be propelled : by four oil engines which may be used In pairs or together. The maxi mum power being 6,50o horsepower.
 Armament will consist Of six 2l inch torpedo tubes, one 5-inch. 5l calibre rife and two Lewis machine guns.
 Tho submarine will carry crew of so men for whom every conycn- fence for comfort and efficiency possible will be installed, including steam heating equipment, a greatly improved ventilation system, a spe- cial water supply system, ro(rig- erating plant for supplies, and a wooden deck designed to insure a firm foothold in rolling seas. The boat will carry a navy mail clerk to
 handle postal service.
 1 The N-9 will carry a navy stand ard 24-foot whale boat and 24-foot motor launch whose engine will be especially protected against the pres sure of water when submerged.
 Owing 10 the size Of the subma- rint, it will probably not be secured alongside submarine tender while in port, it was said. The steering gear is similar to that used in cap ;ital ships.

JOHN LEVI, FAMOUS GRID|RON WARRIOR
May Go to St. Stephen's and
 Play on Football Team

Present indications point 10 St.
 Stephens having one of the best small college football teams in the
 east next season. If the influence
 of Vino Y. "Petc" Deloria, full blood
 ed Sioux Indian, who is captain for 1925, can be brought 10 bear upon John Levi, noted Indian star from Hsskall Institution, the latter will be
 seen in the lineup Of the St. Ste pheu's Crimson and White.
 Dcloria and Levi are chums from early school days and there is great possibility that Levi will come east next fall and enter as a special stu dent at St. Stephens. Deloria has written Levi and interested him in coming 10 the small college on the
 banks of the Hudson at Annandale, x. '. The rules at that college
 would permit Levi to play on the
 varsity despite the fact that he
 would be enrolled as a first year man. Levi has csta blishcd repu'a-
 ton for himself In football circles and its well known throughout this
 country for his playing.
 In 1923. Dcloria was mentioned by Walter Camp for having made the longest forward pass on record. He
 is said to have thrown a pass for 55
 yards in the St, stephen s-Connecti- cut Aggics game, with the result that the Saints won the contest. De- 1 loria is one ot the most popular men i on the Annandale campus and will
 be a senior next year. Rev. Ken meth 4. Bray, coach of the team is proud of Delora and was the first to congratulate him upon his election as captain of tho team.
 For small institution, St. Ste 1 7hens has d pretty good schedule
 for next year. The first game VIII
 ne played with Bowdoin college at i Brunswick. Me. The following week
 St. Stephens will meet Wesleyan at ! Niddleto|n and the third week Trim f ity college of Hartford will journey i to Kingston. x. Y. where the saints ! will play their first home game. The remainder Of the schedule includes
 games with Williams at Wiliamstown
 Mass. Mildlebury college in Yer mont, Norwich University in Yer mcnt, St Johns college, Brooklyn and St. Thomas's college at Scran-
 ton. Ta. The schedule game with FoIdham will not take place because 1 of q request made by the latter that 1 they bo released from their contract. ] Fordham has been offered guaran- ! tee of stn.ooo by alumni. to play 1 Akron University at Akron, O., on 1 Cctobor' 3l. the date scheduled with
