Sl2,0OO EXPENDED FOR LONDON CALLS
First Day of Ocean Radiophony
 Successful

New York, Jan. s R,-The family telephone in every cross road ham, let in the country today became a possible link with London following the successful inauguration of the transatlantic radiophone service yesterday.
 No greater technical difficulties would be involved in extending the service to other cities, officials of the American Telephone and Tele- graph company said, than would be met in ordinary long distance con- nections. Further eXtention, they said, depended merely upon the pub lie demand.
 More than 40 conversations mark cd the opening of the New York London service at an estimated cost to the subscribers of s12,000.
 The possibilities of extention Of the service to inland cities was dem- onstrated in call between the New York World and it's London repre- sentative during which the St. Louis Post Dispatch listened in through an ordinary long distance connec- tion.
 Another call received here by Ma ior Edward Bowes, managing direc tor of the Capitol theater, was re- layed by him over land wires to John Gilbert to a motion picture studio in Culver City, Calif., 1000 miles away.
 Inauguration of the service met expectations of telephone company officials in every way, they said, despite the worst static conditions in a month. At intervals, service had to be suspended due to the air dis turbances, but the delays were only temporary and all conversations were completed.
 While reception here at times was rather difficult, at other times the conversations became as clear as over any ordinary telephone line. London heard New York. however, far better than New York heard London. This was explained by the fact that speech from this side was carried simultaneously from two radio stations at widely separated wave lengths, thereby lessening the static.
 The radio waves were broadcast from Rocky Point, Long Island, on

5000 meter wave lengths and iron Deal, N. J., on a 22 meter wave. The service was officially opened at S:44 in the morning with forma ceremonies and continued until o'clock last night. During that per. iod financial transactions involving more than s6,O00,OoO were complet- | ed, news dispatches were received personal matters discussed and two advertisements came to the New York Times.
 Instances of the non- privacy of the service were revealed during the day. The New York World today prints verbatim copies of many con- versations picked up by it's radio re- ceiving station, and wireless anna reports he was able to listen in at will.
 The Worlds log of conversations records how one man said. Can you hear me whistler" and he whistled to the evident enjoyment of someone in London. Another said, Hello, this is Dover talking. Fine." and someone replied, "Yes, fine" An other was, Yesterday we signalled; today we speak; tomorrow we see.'
 The World, in explanation of printing the overheard conversations says the first days conversations were all experimental, reporting the conversations does not become eavesdropping but a record of the successes and failures of the vari- ous conversations.
 The Telephone company, however. had already warned that secrecy. was impossible at the 'present stage of development of the service. La ter, however, it is hoped to elimi- nate any possibility of listening in on conversations.
 Mayor James A. Walker was the only repeater" of the day, con- versing first with the editor of the London Evening News and later with Sir Rowland Blades, lord may or or LOluOll May Ol " dlhtl tooh a jibe at the radio telephone by assuring the editor that probably millions were listening in"
 Among others to avail themselves of the transatlantic service were Rodman Wanamaker. who spoke to his London store and then had the conversation relayed 10 the Paris branch of the firm. One unidentified Englishwoman was only woman to speak during the day, breaking in for moment to say Hello and How are you?"
 Newspapers and news services probably were the greatest users Of the service. The Associated Press received a story from its London bureau of an intended visit to the United States and Canada of the Prince of Wales. Adolph S. Ochs, publisher of the New York Times talked with Godfrey Dawson, editor of the London Times; Ralph Pulit-

Pretty Houses Attract
More to Neighborhood

One beautiful home of assured per-
manence attracts others of the same
value and hereby increases its own
value as well as the real estate values
of the community
This attraction is made stronger
when the construction is of a type
which increases the fire-safeness of
the locality. The better residence sec
lions of most communities recognize
this in their building restrictions.
Furthermore, the wise home-builder
looks forward to the possible time
when he may want to sell his house.
Will it depreciate heavily with the
passing years, or will it show in
creased value7 The homes covered
with portland cement stucco will, as
a rule, increase in value as the years
go by, because they are permanent in
construction and their appearance i'm
proves with age.
Old but well-built houses may be
rejuvenated and their appearance
changed at a minimum cost with port
land cement stucco. Excellent exam
plies of such work are found in almost
every community.
An exterior envelope of stucco, a
new porch, sun parlor, perhaps new
windows, will bring about complete
transformation.

Mauve Smart Shade Worn
With Evening Slippers

All light shades of gray and tan
are popular in hosiery at present.
Each shade has its own name and
shades change monthly, it would seem.
Among the less familiar shades are
several new ones worth mentioning.
For instance, dust" is medium dark
tone of gray which appears like
shadow on the leg. "Rose-nude" Is
the shade which is being used for both
gloves and hosiery. "Lilac-nude' Is
gray tinged with lavender and looks
well with most gray frocks. A deep
sun-burnt shade which makes the leg
look as though the sun had tanned it,
is chosen by the majority Of we'll
dressed women. Nude stockings of
pinkish cast are not favored by smart
women this year.
For wear with the chartreuse green
frock the grayish stockings tinged with
chartreuse. Mauve is considered the
smart shade for wear with gold or
silver evening slippers.

Lavish Evening Wraps
Glitter With CRYSTALS

Vivid colors, rich materials and the
lavish use of fur are distinctive de-
tails of the mode for evening, as evil
denced in wraps. 1t is a winter of
great brilliancy in clothes Frocks
that glitter with crystals or CLEAN
with the goldand-silver lights of
metal threads are worn beneath wraps
of equal brilliancy.
Velvet in practically every instance
is the fabric chosen, and for lining
there are chiffons hand painted in
exotic designs, or gold-andsilver lame.
Where lame or metal brocade is used
for the coat itself the lining is Of vel
vet in a sharply contrasted color.
Occasionally velvet is used for both
the outer part and the lining.
A color frequently chosen by youth
full wearers is sapphire blue, which
appears again and again in evening
wraps bordefed and collared with
white fox. Emerald green and chin
chilla are combined in a superb wrap.

Mr.. William A. Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF

subject of building work on the farm,
for the readers of this paper. On ac-
count of his wide experience as editor,

Illinois farmers lose $685., 500 an
nually through their failure to house
farm machinery and protect it from
the weather, according to r. /. Shawl,
a member of the farm mechanics de-
partment at the college Of agriculture,
University of Illinois. Ten per cent,
or $22,200,000 worth, of farm machin-
cry in the state is left out in the open,
he says. AS result the average
life of it is reduced from sixteen years
to eight years, as shown in statistics
gathered by agricultural colleges.
Since this 100000 worth of ma
chinery lasts only eight years, the
annual depreciation on it is $2,775, 600,
whereas If it were properly housed
and protected it would last sixteen
years and the annual depreciation
would then be reduced to S1,3S7 800.
Similar results could be obtained in
all sections Of the country.

Small House of Brick
Has Low Upkeep Figure

By disseminating the information
among small wage earners that the
small brick house actually costs no
more than house of less durable con-
struction, IL the upkeep costs are
taken into account for a period of
ten or twelve years, we feel that this
industry Is rendering a real service.
And not only the wage Garner, but
people who are In easier financial cir
cumstances do not always realize the
truth of the economics of home build
ing, taking one material as against
another. And in the long run building
the walls of homes with brick does
not work hardship on the lumber
industry.
Government experts and others
have pointed out that the forests of
the country are diminishing at an
alarming rate, and the present produc-
ton of lumber cannot continue for a
great many more years. To build
homes of brick is to conserve lumber.
Just as much wood Is used In the in
terror of the house for partitions,
floors and finish as would be used in
frame house, the only difference is
that the outside walls are built of a
material that will protect the inside
lumber from decay and give 1t life
three to four times as long as If the
whole house had been constructed of
wood.
