Special Dispatch to The Star.
KANSAS CITY. July 25.-Band con-
certs will be broadcast every other

mer from station WDAF. The pro-
arams will be furnished by the Ivanhoe

Walter A. French.
Music will be played by the band

of applications for the installation
Of phones in business houses and resi-
dences lie neglected in department
pigeonholes, with no apparent effort
to act on them. The result is that
enormous sums are paid by appli-
cants for the privilege" of having
installed in their offices or homes
telephones which some other party
might dispense with. The sums thus
paid often run into thousands of Yen.
In fact. to have a telephone in Toxic,
or any other part of Japan for that
matter, bespeaks luxury and afflu-
ence.
Order for Telephones.
The report that large order for
telephone equipment had been placed
with a firm in England recently
caused many to hope for early relief
of this trying situation. But the au-
thorities are reported to have said
that realization of these hopes is still
in the far distance-perhaps two or
three years hence. Before the disas-
ter Of last September there were S4,-
900 telephones in use in Toxic To-
day there are only 10000.
The department of communications
expects to increase this number to
GA ,000-still 10000 below the pre-
disaster figure-by the end of next
March, it is reported. The order
placed with the English firm was
Evening star., 1924-07-25

for $4,000 automatic telephones, and
none of these will be installed until
after the present program is COM
pleted.
Slow Development Reason.
The reason for the slow develop
ment of the telephone, system is said
to be the apparent unwillingness of
the Diet to approve the necessary
appropriations. The government has
monopoly on communications as
well as practical monopoly on rail-
ways. 1t might be pointed out that
the government railways have not
suffered in this respect. Huge sums
are being expended in expansion and
electrification, with the result that
the Japanese railways are highly
praised by all transportation experts
visiting Japan. Among those declar-
ing the railways of Japan to be the
best in the Orient is Harry T.. Byram
of Evanston, ILL.,, president of the
Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul
Railroad, who recently visited the
Far East.
Meantime, while thousands await
expansion of the telephone system,
unscrupulous firms and persons pos
ing as telephone brokers collect huge
sums for securing for badly incon-
venienced firms and persons the
privilege" of having telephone
installed.

Both Of the plants win probably be

night and made a personal visit
to Charles Benter and his navy

Besides being greatly. impressed
with the oTchestra's playing 81

"Pagliacci" fantasia, we were IN
terested in the arrangements made
by WCAP to pick up music of a
sixty-instrument combination from
an auditorium that was constructed
without any thought Of mammoth
symphony organizations or radio.
Only three microphones are used
in transmitting the orchestral con.
certs to Washington, New York,
Boston and wherever else you wish.
The principal mike stands up
right, about on. a level with Mr..
Benter's head. and 10 assisted by
two auxiliary mikes strung above
the orchestra, one of them over

follows: Your contest has aroused
widespread interest at Tech, and is
meeting with the success which 1T
Justly deserves. Many enjoyable
hours were afforded me in forming
and delivering my speech, and 1t is
due to the contest which The Star Com
pany has conducted in Washington
that many Techites, as we'll as others,
have come to realize how vitality i'm
portant the Constitution is to every
one. I wish to thank you on my own
part for the hundred dollars award,
which I was so fortunate as to win,
and also on the part of the school
for the interesting and helpful con-
test in which you have enabled us
to participate"
Other contestants so far heard are
Ruth Newburn, winner in the second
