PRICE WAR AIDS
 AUTOMOBILE SHOW
Much Competition Among Low
 Priced Makes

New York, Jan. { R,-A price war among manufacturers of the less ex- pensive automobiles increased inter- est in the 2Sth annual National Au- tomobile show opening today for one week.
 Grand General Palace has been transformed with flowers and foliage into q country setting for display of the latest creations of 43 manufac- turers of passenger cars. In addition. there are display of new truck models. shop equipment and access sories.
 The greatest interest probably centered in the exhibits of the Chev- rolet. Whippet and Star cars, gener- ally viewed as rivals of the Ford for supremacy in the low priced field. The Ford Motor company will have a show of it's own, opening Monday in Madison Square Garden. One of the shows surprises was the debut of three new models bear ing the name of Durant, products of Durant motors. commemorating the silver anniversary Of the entrance of William c. Durant in the automo- bile industry.
 Reappearance of the Durant name on a motor car was taken in trade circles to be the sequel to Mir. Durant's announcement last summer that he was coming back as an ac- tive factor in the automobile indus try. His company has been produc- ing the Star and Flint cars. Another debut was that of Paige cars under the new name of Ora. ham, Paige, marking the entrance ol the Graham brothers, light truck manufacturers. into the passenger field. The Graham brothers recent, purchased the Paige plant.
 Practically every booth in the pas senger vehicle section displayed one or more new models, making in the aggregate the greatest number ol new creations ever introduced at ons show.
 Special exhibits of new modell have been arranged at all the, prom inent hotels. Railroads reported in creased travel. with many specia trains being operated. Airplane com panies also reported numerous book
 ngs from points in the north. soutt and west.

ElaJ Nlnb3 h City Changed
 by Improvement

New London. Jan. R1Tonight. at midnight. the local exchange of the Southern New England Tele- phone company will be operated on q 100 per cent dial system basis. It is the first complete change from manual to dial system operation in the state and the number of tele- phones involved is about 5000.
 Coincident with the change in cen iral office equipment the winter is- sue of the telephone directory will be.cifective and every telephone number in the New London ex- change will be changed. That is necessary because dial service re- auires a different numbering sys- atem than the manual system former ly in use here. Subscribers elsewhere in the state. if placing call to Ne" London, are asked to first look up the new number of the party de- sired, If a New London directory is available. If the subscriber has not such . directory. the New London number may be obtained from the information operator in the ex- change where the call originates.
 The change from manual to the dial system service in New London is the culmina tion of one of the largest improvements completed by the telephone company during the past year.
 To keep pace with the growing demand for city telephone service the company decided about two years ago to build a telephone build ing with floor space in the old strue- ture utilized.
 A study of the New London sltu- atiOn indicated the best plan from the subscribers viewpoint you'd be to iristall dial service.
 An adequate telephone building was completed short time ago and tes,months, workmen have been in stait1AE the dial system equipment. The result of their efforts will be put into operation tonight. giving New London the most recent ad- >ances in the telephone art and fur lishing it with telephone facilities sufficient to meet its needs for some time to come.
 :, The building and equipment in stalled here reports an expenditure of about &50o,o0o.

Bank of England Is
 Rebuilt for Endurance

London. Jan. R - Supermen who walk along Threadneedle and Lombard streets in the year 2o@2 will see the reconstructed Bank of England just as it will stand when completed five years hence.
 At least that is what the governors believe as they direct the rebuilding of the structure. It is to be the most pretentious in all the British Empire and will cost more than s20.0Oo,0 ,000.
 Foundations have crumbled under buildings within a few hundred yards of the Bank of England. The Commercial Union. Insurance Build ing crashed, presumably. because of the unstable nature of the soil. The governors of the Bank of England are taking no chance on such a catastrophe. Workmcn are burrow- ing deep and strengthening the foundations in such manner that engineers believe 1t will stand for 10 centuries.

In the shooting OF Fox Movie
tone news scenes the receiving
n1icrophone and camera do not
necessarily have to be in close

camera for close-ups and another
for long-distaIlce shots. ANY

on the same strip of film. making
It absolutely impossible TOR the
