Dawes Children’s First Call Here at Sunday School In order not to break their ex- cellent attendance record at Sun- day school, Dana and Virginia Dawes, adopted children of the Vice * President-eléct and Mrs. Dawes, ate their breakfast in a great hurry at the New Willard Hotel after arrival yesterday, and hurried off to the school at New York Avenue Presbyterian Church. As the train bearing the Dawes family arrived at 9 o'clock, it re- quired some speed on the part of the children to get to Sunday school, so they were served with a rush breakfast before the rest of the family. Dana has a record of not miss- ing Sunday school in three years, and Virginia has not missed in two years. e CATHOLIC SOCIETY DELEGATES CONVENE Representatives of St. Vincent de Paul Branches Hold Regular Quarterly Session.

Y W.CAWLLBUY BRANDEGEE HOME Women’s Club to Cost $500, 000 Will Be Erected at 17th and K Streets. | Transmission of photographs over a telephone wire 3,600 miles long | simultaneously to three cities was | tested here yesterday by the American Telephone & Telegraph Co., and was declared by officials to have been a complete success. It was the first time such transmis- sion of photographs had been at- tempted to more than one city at once and over so great distance. Nearly a |dozen pictures were s¢nt to New York, |Chicago and San Francisco, only seven minutes being required for each print. Ofticials of the company here were in touch by telegraph with their offices in the three cities, and were told that the experiment was without a hitch. The. demonstration was arranged, the officials said, as a final test before announcing establishment of a gen- eral transcontinental picture trans- mission service, and to perfect ar- |rangements for sending pictures of ithe presidential inauguration Wed- nesday. The Y. W. C. A. will northeast corner of Seventeenth and K streets and erect on the site onme of the biggest women's club buildings in the city at a cost which will prob- ably be more than $500,000, it was learned this morning. The propert on which the organization now has a contract of sale was formerly part of the late Senator Brandegee's estate. According to Miss H. P. An- derson of the Y. W. C. A, the prop- erty will cost $235,000. The new bullding will house a large part of the Y. W. C. A.'s activi- ties. While the actual plans have not been drawn, provision will be made for a large swimming pool gympasium, caféteria, clubroom. dormitories, etc.,, according to Miss Anderson. Another Site to Be Sold. The Y. W. C. A. last year purchased property at 707-9-11 Twelfth street, intending later to build there. Be- ause of its proximity to the organi- tion headquarters at 614 E street, yer, it was decided to build ere. The Twelfth street prop- erty will be sold. The present headquarters at 614 G street will be turned into dormitories for the use of downtown member: The swimming pool and cafeteria will also_be retained. The fdmer Brandegee property faces 79 feet on K street and 119 feet | on Seventeenth street. The title is | now in the hands of a title company | for confirmation. Arthur Heaton will be the architect for the new structure. The office of H. L. Rust negotiated the deal. The new Y. W. C. A. building will be close to a number of large Gov- ernment departments and . within easy distance for many young woman Government workers. LONGWORTH .TO GET POST Likely to Be Building Commission. The House today adopted a resolu- {tion authorizing the Speaker to ap- {point a new member of the House Office Building commission to act un- til the next Speaker has been formal- 1y elected. ‘As Representative Long- worth of Ohio will be the next Speak- er, it is probable that he will be named to immediately take up the duties on the House Office Building commission laid down by Speaker Gillett. purchase the Sent In Seven Minutes. | | One of the pictures transmitted yes- | terday was of President and Mrs. Coolidge, taken as they departed | from the First Congregational Church. Within seven minutes after | | the negative was placed on the trans- | mitting machine the picture was available for publication in New York, | Chicago and San Francisco. | While the demonstration was progress. a phetograph was taken of | | the machinery and a group of spec- | tators. The film was developed and | ready for transmission within half an hour, and seven minutes later dupli- cates were in the three cities, It was the second public demonstra- tion of the apparatus, which was per- fected by engineers of the Bell Tele- phone Co. and the American Tele- phone and Telegraph Co. The first test was made last May. Time Saved im Transmission. It is possible to transmit a picture 5 by 7 inches, which after ordinary development at the receiving end is practically undistinguishable from an ordinary photograph, officials seid, and is ready for reproduction. Time is saved in transmitting photographs, they pointed out, because it is pos- sible to use film before it has dried after development. The film is inserted in the trans-| mitter in cylindrical form, and a} beam of light is passed through it at| uniform speed, reproducing the pic- | ture on a photoelectric cell. The light beam passing through the film moves over its surface much as a phono- graph needle circles a record. Intri- cate machinery transfers the light ray to an electric current in a tele- phone line and in turn, at the re- celving end, the current {s trans- in Named to House D.
