or two buildings can be erected prior
to the 1928 fair, but it was decided
to add to the grounds slowly and
build for permanency.
A fair will be held this fall, how
ever, it was the opinion of the Board
that exhibits should be limited to
crops, fine arts, and possibly poultry.
No attempt will be made to assemble
a livestock exhibit as space will not
permit.
The Fair Board is offering $50 fi-'
nancial help to each community that
puts on a community exhibit and will
pay the man in charge of each booth
$500 per day. Space will be reserved
for community exhibits in the order
of application.
Until the building program has
been outlined, and more progress
made, it is impossible to set any dates
for the 1923 fair.

according TO Lewis b. Ermeling.
executive secretary Of the National
Association Of Building Owners and
Managers.
Those close to the building indus.
try are amazed with the continuance
of the present building boom, which
has already lasted several years." said
Mr.. Ermeling. In the construction
OF Office buildings the year 1927 has
added more than 50. Zoo. 900 square feet
OF rentable area to the market. Con.
tracts let in the last six months Of
1927 are almost equal 10 those let in
the same period last year.
These contracts assure consider.
able employment for skilled workers
in the building crafts for at least the
first half Of 1925 Ermeling said,
Easing expectations for 1928 solely
on the number of unfinished contracts
already let and on projected buildings,
II appears that these will be between
20 200. 900 and 10000, 900 square feet
OF ONCE space. produced at a cost
exceeding 100000. 900 during 1928.

Society Members.

Ethiopia, traditional land Of the
Queen Of Sheba and the present day

Tibet Of Africa, ancient, isolated and
on the roof Of that continent, William
H. Osgood told members Of the Ma.
tional Geographic Society last evening
at the Washington Auditorium.
For thousands OF years the land
more latterly known as Abyssinia has
been independent. The explorers

whose articles of the expedition ap.
peared In The Evening Star, visited
some areas Of great scenic beauty and
comparatively high civilization where
Americans had not hitherto entered.
Fighting Men Pictured.
Motion pictures of the mobilize, but

said. would make the most pronounced
American fundamentalist seem like a

pictured were the red Abyssinian
wolf. the ibex, the baboon and a

the meantime the person at the distant
end has heard the number of the tele-
phone to which he has been connected
and should it be a wrong number, will
be able to hang up and signal the OPP
orator again to get the correct num-
Der However, should the dispatcher
have made this call with the expec-
tation of operating something in the
substation, he listens for the voice and
as soon as he has verified the correct
ness of the number of the substation
as indicated by the telephone number,
he blows blast on the proper whistle
and the voice ceases and the machine
is then in condition for further opera
tion by means of the whistle notes.
Should a circuit breaker open auto
matically, the Televox is put into ac-
ton and lifts the receiver of the tele-
phone and Immediately begins saying
at intervals, This is the Televox call
ing for Main 5000" This will be con-
tinued at intervals until the central
operator is able to complete the con-
nection to the dispatcher's telephone.
AS soon as he hears this voice, he will
stop it by blast of the proper whistle
and then proceed to question the ma
chine by further whistles as to what
mas happened The answers to these
questions will be in the buzzer code
which the dispatcher understands.
AS soon as the whistle stops the
voice, the motor is also stopped and
the lamps extinguished so that the
film is in use only very short time.
While the usefulness Of 'Mr. Tele.
vox" is at present restricted to Oper-
alton in the field of telephony, this
newest development has great sig
nit Nv
1.-THE addition of this automatic voice
considerably broadens the possible
field of application for the Televox.
1t is not limited to the speaking of
the two sentences but may be made
to answer quite number of questions
correctly when necessity for such an
swers has been determined in advance.
For instance, where it is not desired
to use code signals indicating the
amount of water in the reservoir, this
mechanism can be made to state the
height of water in feet, or 1t can be
made to say that machine is cool or
machine is hot, or machine is dam
gerOusly hot. 1t can be made to re-
peat any sort of routine report that
can be selected by electrical circuits"
Considering what has already been
accomplished in the development of
this automaton, it would be a rash
person indeed who would venture to
predict now what the future limita-
tons in other fields of usefulness for
"Mr. Televox" and his children" will
be. For, more and more, we are learn
ing how foolish is any declaration of
ut can't be done !" when American in
ventive genius sets about to prove thar
it can, no matter what ''it' may be.
