Hubby'll Be Out of Luck
If Girl Friend Phones

Chicago.-Every home can use
telegraphone, an invention which will
be displayed at the Museum OF Sci
ence and Industry, founded by julius
Rosenwald. The instrument, invent
ed by Poulsen Of Copenhagen in 1900,
has been given the museum by Will
liam Dubilier of New York.
The telegraphone takes calls in the
absence of it's owner. 1t replies to
calls that nobody's home, but that 1t
will take any messages.
The vocal registration Is simply
reproduction of the voice, similar to
a dictaphone. The phone then switches
to recording setup and takes down
the message Of the caller. When the
owner returns, he switches on the re-
producing device and hears messages
received in his absence.

vice, which may come into general
use when it can be made more mex

Builds Coy Home of Driftwood From River

for room. A year ago his pay checks
stopped and he faced the prospect of
eviction from his home.
1t was then that he decided to build
a home. He went on the Missis-
sippi river in a borrowed rowboat and
towed planks and timber ashore for
his home. He sold enough Of the lum-
Der to buy food and necessities.
Hoping that some day he will get
paid for his services, he has stuck to
his job of watching the large, rusting
steam shovel each night. By day he
works on his home.
1t is almost finished and consists of
two well-built rooms eight feet above
the ground, so he need not fear the
floods. He has sold surplus lumber
salvaged from the river to buy nails,
screens and hinges for the little house.
He hopes to paint it soon.

u. S. Potatoes Save Million Chinese

missionaries in this remote part of
China along the Tibet border, saved
the lives Of more than million
Chinese when the district was ravaged
by drought and famine" Mr.. Simpson
says.
"When the first Americans and Eu-
ropeans penetrated the Kansu prov
ince, and established mission stations
in Taochow (old city,, some forty
years ago they found native Chinese
potato which was small, poor, and had
a very low food value. The natives
Of the district, with little regard for
the future, had been in the habit each
year of eating the best of the crop
and saving the poorest potatoes Tor
seed" the communication continues.
"a letter of appeal to the United
States brought four early rose rota-
toes from Tennessee, and these were
planted in 1897, two in Taochow, and
two in Minchow. They grew very well
and produced many tubers of fine
quality in Chinese soil. The next year,
however, the crop was divided with
the Chinese, who were taught how to
cut up the large potatoes for seed In
order to keep up the quality of the
crop.
'In a few years the new variety
spread to several counties of the
province, which had total population
of some 100000 people. But the
Boxer rebellion resulted in recall of
all the Christians from the district
and while they were away the Chinese
fell back into their old habit of eating
all the best, and also of allowing the
new variety to become mixed with the
diseased older type Of potato.
1.-THE flavor and food value Of the
potato paintings had so deteriorated
when missionaries were again operat-
ing in Kansu that Mr.. Simpson decided
to send for fresh tubers from America.
Friends in Massachusetts forwarded a
mere handful of Green mountain po-
tatoes, which were planted in 1903.
The experience of Chinese planters
with the earlier American variety
helped to speed the distribution Of the
Green Mountain tubers, which quickly
supplanted both the native and the
early rose types. In the three years
famine since 1928, one of the worst
| famines the world has ever known, al
most half the population of Kansu,
and also of the Province of Shensi, to
the east, have died. But where the
Green Mountain potato was cultivated
the larger part of the population has
been able to subsist, 1t has been esti-
mated that fully a million people have
been living by eating these potatoes.
"Where American potatoes had not
been cultivated the people resorted to
the bark Of trees, roots of grass and
insects As these could not long sus-
tain life the people depending upon
them became easy victims of disease
and pestilence. In few limited
