Many British Tourists
Take to Motor Boats

PORTSMOUTH. Eng, June =
The increase in numbers of mo-
tor cars on the roadways of Eng
land has induced many British
business men to take up motor
boating.
The cost of a beat with quar-
tiers for six people and a speed of
eight miles an hour Is $4,000. and
the cost of running it about $3.50
year, which includes $50 for
housing and mooring, $50 for in,
surance and $125 for refit.
Many have chosen this method
of making trips around the coast
of Britain or short journeys
across to the continent, and, ac-
cording to reports from the build
ing yards, many more will be for
saking the dusty highways for
waterways this holiday season.
One firm alone has orders in
hand for seventy pleasure motor
boats, and other firms, which for
merly relied solely On orders
from abroad, are busy on boats
for British owners.

ELEVATOR LICENSE

Injunction Sought to Permit Opera.
tion of Lifts Installed
Prior to 1925.

The Wardman Co. and Thomas P.
Bones, who manage % buildings equip
ped with more than SIS elevators, which
buildings we're completed and elevators
permitted to operate prior to April IA,
1925, when the present elevator regu-
lationS were promulgated, today asked
the District Supreme Court for an in
junction against the District Commits
sioners and John w. Oehmann, building
inspector. The petitioners seek to enjoin
the Commissioners from prosecuting in
formations against them in Police Court
for alleged violation of these regulations
and to restrain Oehmann from refusing
licenses and permits to continue the op-
Grafton of the elevators in question.
Through Attorneys Daniel Thew
Wright and Phillip Ershler, the court
is informed that the regulations sought
to be applied to buildings already
finished and completed with elevators
prior to the issuance of the regulations
are void because discriminatory and un-
reasonable. 1t will cost $26,489, the
alterations and equipment demanded by
the regulations. They assert the Com
missionerS are without power to enact
regulation as applicable to property
already completed.
The court is told that three informa-
tionS have been brought against the
petitioners in Police Court and many
more are threatened and will be insti-
tuted unless the court grants the re-
queSted injunction. At least two of the
buildings involved are under the contro.

ment, it is pointed out.

D|RECT|ONAL HORN
AIDS FLYERS IN FOG
Second of Series of Tests
Made by DirigibIe Proves
Successful.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CAMDEN, N. j., December THE
second of series of tests on a device
designed to make safer the landing of
aircraft in fog was pronounced sue
cess today by officials of the Victor
Talking Machine Co., at whose plant
the test was carried out with the aid
of the Navy dirigible Los Angeles.
The new device, called a super
d1rectional horn," was developed by
Lieut.: r. G. Mayer, a member Of the
Los Angeles crew, and S. T. Williams
of the Victor company. It consists of
a series of units operated by vacuum
tubes, which permit the reception by
aircraft of directional signals from a
landing field. When perfected. the ap-
paratus is expected to enable the navi-
gator of an aircraft to discover through
differently pitched signals, the compass
points of fog-enveloped field. The
direction finder will supplement the
radio beam.
The dirigible Los Angeles was the re-
ceiving medium in the test yesterday.
while the signals were sent from the
roof Of the Victor plant. The horn, 90
feet long and 10 feet wide, was con-
nected with micropllone and attached
to record disk. Several musical Sc
lections and oral greetings were sent
upward while the dirigible scared from
5000 to 10000 feet away Each time
the flashing of a blinker on the Los
Angeles indicated that the music and
messages had been received.
Further tests of the device are to be
made at Lakehurst, N. j., home of the
Los Angeles.

AUSTRIAN TERMS
ON DEBT FAVORED
House Ways and Means
Committee Approves Plan
After Mills Speaks.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The House ways and means commit
tee agreed today to approve the Bur-
ton bill providing for settlement of the
Austrian debt of S34,6300O0 to the
United States under a new agreement
calling for optional settlement either
in 20 or 40 years.
The decision quickly followed an ex-
planation of the proposal by Under
secretary Mills of the Treasury.
Austria, Mr.. Mills said, offers to pay
beginning on January /, 1943, 20 yearly
annuities of $1,337,14O, while reserving
the option to substitute a schedule of
payments providing yearly payments
of $287, $50, beginning January /, 1929;
10 yearly payments of $460,O93, begin
ming January l, 1884, and IS yearly
payments of $743,047, beginning Janu-
ary l, 1914.
The debtor asks also that loan
which it wishes to float be granted
priority over the old loan, which COW
cred relief furnished by this country
after the World War.
The tax resources were pledged for
payment of previous loans received
from this and eight other countries.
Seven of the nine countries already
have confirmed the new agreement,
WHICH Is SHIl14dr 10 tIldt OleIeu tIle
United States.
Mr.. Mills said the debt bears per
cent interest, but that the other cred
itors had reduced the rate to per cent.
If this country does the same, the debt
would amount to $33,911, 900.
The State and Treasury Departments,
Mr.. Mills said, were strongly of the
opinion" that the optional offer should
be accepted. He added that it had been
submitted to the former members of the
debt commission and met with their
unanimous approval. The proposal
