NEW DEVICE WILL RECORD
HALF-SECOND INTERVALS
Comes Nearer to Absolute Exact
ness in Time-Tel1ing Than
Any Previous Efforts.

Absolute exactness in the measure
ment of time is a scientific ideal that
may forever elude human attainment,
but the Bureau of Standards has just
worked out method that comes
nearer to it than have any previous
efforts in the field.
The device will record half-SeCond
intervals which may be substantially
depended upon, the bureau says. to be
accurate to within a few parts in
100000 a desirable condition in
laboratory work where the utmost
eXactness in gauging the speed and
duration of phenomena is sought.
There is no particular compleXity
about the new device. Its central fea-
ture is pendulum with a slit through
the center. and a light back of It. AS
the swinging pendulum passes the
proper point, light flashes through the
orifice and falls on a sensitive surface
in front. A tiny electric current thus
generated in the sensitive surface is
amplified as in radio practice, and a
moving Photographic film records the
instant.

NEW ENGLAND HAS
CHAT WITH LONDON
Mother Country Greeted in
First Days Talk Over
Atlantic Telephone.
BY the Associated Press.


BOSTON, January 22.-New Eng
land set back tonight well satisfied
with its first day of transatlantic
telephony with England. New Eng
land and old England had COnGratu-
dated each other on the progress and
prosperity of mother and daughter
countries, had commiserated each
other on equally bad weather, al
though London had a dash of snow
added, and in general blended voices
and wishes across the sea.
President A. Lawrence Lowell of
Harvard began the round of felicita-
tions promptly at $50 this morning
when, he talked with Vice Chancellor
G. A. Weeks of Cambridge Univer-
sity, from whose Emmanuel College
John Harvard was graduated. That
connection was held for more than
IS minutes while educators and Of
ficials of the New England Telephone
& Telegraph Co. talked.
Calls From Four States.
Then the bars were down for the
general public, in the order of their
application, and the great strip of
more than 5000 miles of wire and air
was occupied in rapid succession by
calls from four of the six New Eng
land States.
The Haverhil. Mass, Gazette,
which boasts of a news story obtained
by telephone from Boston, 36 miles
away. in 1879, today set "A new record
for its news gathering by telephony by

patched by radio pictures of the de-
sired articles to serve the London
ana nufacturers as guides.
Several other business transactions
were reported, relatives were brought
within range of one another's voices,
but in main the first busy day of New
England in transoceanic telephony
was spent in the generalities of town

INCORPORATING ON INCREASE

An outdoor activity that has noted a decided increase during the cur rent year is that of motorboating, and those who are following it's de- Yelopment forecast that the next few years will find steady increase not only in cruising and quick com munication by water between points, but in the field of racing. The past few months have not only found more motorboats competing in the various regattas of the United States, but they have also found more and more regattas being held for the first times New England, especially, has noted a big increase in powerboat racing, and the re- gattas which were held in Boston Harbor and off Newport, R. l., for the first time this summer not only proved successful, but gave every in- dication of becoming annual events.
 Those who recall the development of the automobile will remember that racing played an important part in it. Not only did this com petition draw the attention of the general public to the possibilities of the motOrcar, but it also served as a laboratory for developing improve ments in the design and manufac- ture of the various models. It has been the same with the powerboat, as the increased number of regattas which are being promoted each year and their resultant competition are developing a much more seyieeable type of motorboats than has ever before been known. Not only does this apply to the speed developed, but it also applies to the seryiceable- ness of the craft.
 Millions of dollars are invested in the various classes of motorboats in the United States and of these it is estimated that the racing craft alone represent an investment of over $4,25O,O00. It is also figured that oyer 100000 persons watched the various races held during the past season and among them were men and women whose interests had been along other lines of sports in years past. Both as sport and as a pastime motorboating ranks very high and it's future is even more promising than it's past.
