Radio TELEVISION TO GO REGULARLY ONAIR SOON Broadcasting Station Will Start Operation Near National Capital. By Science Service WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.—Radiovision soon will be the air every night for a large share of the country. A broadcasting station for radiomovies and television, with power of five kilowatts, soon will be in operation for a few miles outside of Washington by the Jenkins Laboratories, of this city. As the station will operate on a short wave, it is expected that it will have much gerater range than an ordinary broadcasting station of equivalent power. Just what wave length will be used has not been determined, as the federal radio commission has not announced wave bands to be assigned, though it has decided to allocate certain bands each of a hundred kilocycles width for this purpose. With a hundred-kilocycle band, authorities are agreed that satisfactory detail can be transmitted. Pending completion of the new stations and granting of a license by the commission, the Jenkins Laboratories are broadcasting three nights a week from their present station, W3XK. Broadcast on Two Bands This is done on two bands, one of 187 meters, primarily for nearby reception, and the other of 47 meters, heard throughout the eastern part of the country. Though using only 250 watts of power, the radiomovies broadcast ia received regularly in Ohio and Indiana. As the bands licensed for this use are only of ten-kilocycle width, broadcasts so far have been confined to movies in silhouette, which, however, have been prepared specially for the purpose, and tell stories. Present-day radiovisicn broadcasts only faintly portray the future possibilities, thinks C. Francis Jenkins. “Perfect?” he says. “No, and the receiver looks no more like the ultimate structure will than the old ‘one-lung’ horseless carriage of twenty-five years ago looks like the eight-cylinder limousine of today. Engineers of Future "But the 10,000 pioneering amateurs we nightly are entertaining with our picture broadcasts are the radio pictured engineers of tomorrow, for they are building up a technical experience which will be of inestimable value in the art later on. “After the day’s work, these youngsters rush home, bolt a hurried dinner, and race away to the radio shack, to tune in on our pantomime broadcasts. "Exactly the same thrill which came to them with their first crystal set and headphone comes again when they pick their first motion pictures out of the air, pictures radiated into invisible space, from miles and miles away, and put together by their home-made receiver. “Many of these amateurs have attained such quality of picture that they have moved their apparatus into the living room, where the whole family may join in the fun “The pictures they see are black j and white, comparable to the car- j toon movies in the theater, and just l as interesting.” SHELLEY’S BUST FOUND Treasure Is Discovered in Sussex Farmhouse, After Search. Bn United Press LONDON, Jan. 25.—What is believed to be the only contemporary bust of the poet, Shelley, w r as recently discovered in a Sussex farmhouse. Experts have been years in tracing the treasure, and it is believed its authenticity is established beyond a reasonable doubt. The bust originally was intended for Shelley's grave, but was rejected as being too realistic. After-Effects More Dangerous Than Flu Itself Colds Attacking Weakened System Pave Way for Pneumonia and Other Serious Diseases. AVOID TOO MUCH DOSING One of the peculiarities of influenza is that its toxins leave the digestive system upset. Constant “dosing” for the colds which come so frequently after a flu-attack still further disturbs the digestion and lessens the appetite, just when the body needs nourishment more than ever. And yet these colds are so apt to develop into bronchitis or pneumonia that they must be treated at the first sign. Vicks Vapoßub is especially valuable here, because it is applied externally and so can be used freely with no risk of upsetting a delicate digestion. Just rub it on the throat and chest at bedtime. Vicks acts 2 ways at once to check the cold and avoid serious complications: (1) through the skin like a poultice, and (2) direct to the airpassages by means of its medicated vapors, released by the bodywarmth —Adertisement.

DEFEND CANAL IN ‘ATTACK’ BY ‘ENEMTJLEET Opposing Armadas Ready for ‘Battle’; Panama Bristles With Guns. By United Press BALBOA, Panama Canal Zone, Jan. 25.—Through the dense jungles an army of nearly 35,000 men was deployed today and great six-teen-inch guns, disappearing rifles, we.e manned around the Panama canal. A stuttering radio signal on a secret w r ave length was intercepted and quickly decoded. Its substance said the Blue Atlantic fleet scouts had made contact with the Black Pacific fleet advance lines. Throttled exhausts popped along “the line” at the air field as a great fleet of army bombers waited like air cavalry the word to charge Big, powerful bombs were ready on the machines. One of the greatest war games ever held in the Americas was well under way today and 175 dreadnaughts, airplane carriers, scout cruisers, destroyers and submarines jockeyed for strategic victory in defense and attack on the highly-im-portant Panama canal. The Blue fleet had hurried from the North Atlantic and through the canal to meet the approaching Black fleet which threatens the Pacific entrance of the canal with a superior force of ninety-nine ships to the Blues’ seventy-five. The olues, however, have a superior air force. The scout cruiser Detroit, cleaving the ocean at an average of nearly thirty knots—faster than the fastest ocean liner can travel, lent a dramatic link to the war game and early naval annals when it made the 2,100 odd miles from Boston to the canal in eighty-nine hours. The Detroit’s feat showed the high strategic value of the canal in comparison with the famous rush of the Oregon around the Horn during the Spanish-American war. Somewhere below the horizon squat men o war deployed for advantage in outguessing the attack plans of the Black fleet. Far up in the skies, hardly visible, the air squadrons hung, the roar of their motors inaudible above the whining turbines on board the ships below.

BILLS, BILLS, BILLS!

High Cost of Living to Hit Hoover

Thii is the first o; three stories by Aliens Sumner, Times end NBA Service Writer, on some of the intimate problems that will confront Mrs. Herbert Hoover as the new First Lady of the land. The second story will describe the interior of Mrs. Hoover’s new home end the third will tell of her duties es e hostess. By ALLENE SUMNER WASHINGTON, Jan. 25—Being the wife of the President of the United States means much more, of course, tha nthat as the nation’s first lady—one is mistress of the most important house in the country, the White House. Naturally, then, Mrs. Herbert Hoover is interested in knowing just what this White House housekeeping job means—how many servants she will have, how many guest rooms there are, how much linen and silver and china, what to expect in the way of grocery bills, who pays for what, and all the questions which any woman taking charge of anew establishment would want answered. Just what does it mean to become mistress of the White House? What are the housekeeping problems? Who pays which bills?

Where does the family laundry ero? Who washes that Brussels lace buffet scarf which can’t be put in with the general wash? If the President insists on strawberries out of season for breakfast, can he have them? Who pays for them? Mrs. Hoover probably knows that the grocery bills must be paid out of the Hoover pocketbook. She may be interested in learning, however, that one official dinner may cost as much as SI,OOO. It may answer that question which all Washington asked at the time a a a

MRS. COOLIDGE doubtless told Mrs. Hoover that her household includes the housekeeper, three cooks, one kitchen helper, three laundresses, two housemaids, one head mechanic, one electrician, a day and a night furnace man, four footmen, a parlor maid, a head butler, a second man, a pantry man, one lady’s maid, several chambermaids, one houseman, one house cleaner, one special valet, one servants’ floor maid, two head ushers, two gardeners and four chauffeurs and a few potato peelers and window wipers. She probably told her that Wilkins, the colored houseman, has been in the White House service for thirty-one years; that Straus, the furnace man, has kept the White House warm for thirty winters; that “Ike” Hoover, the chief usher, who takes all the visiting cards and shows callers through the house, is one of the veterans.

Mrs. Hoover may not be especially interested in the servants’ wages, for she won’t pay them. But the grand total runs around $35,000 a year. Mrs. Hoover will become mistress of a house the running expenses of which—not paid by the Hoovers —will be something like this: It costs about $50,000 a year to keep it clean.

ana ana MRS. HOOVER may be even more interested in these facts: That while Uncle Sam agrees to do the general White House laundry, personal laundry is up to the President and his family wlfo are supposed to devise some scheme for keeping tab on their personal wash that goes in with the general tablecloths and towels— That, while Uncle Sam pays the servants he does not expect to pay them for personal entertaining, and it is assumed that when friends or relatives come to stay a few weeks, the servants cost will be pro-rated some way—

That the President and his wife are supposed to pay for the cars of their “personal property” as distinguished from government property— That the President is supposed to pay for his own private cook, his own stablemen, if any, his own va-

of Queen Marie’s visit—-“ Why did the White House serve roast beef?” She will take charge of over fifty servants. They are under the direction of the housekeeper, a former worker in the personnel department of the Stearns store In Boston, and hired on the personal assurance of Coolidge’s friend, Stearns himself, that she would not quit and write her memoirs as White House housekeeper as her predecessor, \Mrs. Elizabeth Jaffray, did.

The greenhouses mean about SIO,OOO a year. The garden bill for planting, cutting the 10-acre lawn, tending in bulbs, etc., is another SIO,OOO. The light bill runs between $8,500 and $9,000. It costs about $85,000 a year to guard the President and his establishment.

Jimes and George Rusher admitted stealing an automobile Wednesday night and holding up a West Indianapolis bus driver at Morris street and Belmont avenue and obtaining $5.80, detectives said.
