It means an impetus for | the long-distance telephone service. Time Difference Problem. | There are, of course, many other difficulties to be solved. For instance, the difference in time means that only about two hours of the business day |in New York, namely, 9 to 11 in the | morning, would correspond to the last | two hours, namely, 2 to 4 o'clock in London. The American business man has been educated to do a good deal of telephoning at night, but the Briton | has not. And to get the Englishman at his office at 19 o'clock in the morn- | ing would require a call on this side | of the Atlantic at 5 o'clock in the morning. Much of the telephoning, therefore, would be concentrated at certain hours, probably from § to 11 am. on this side of the ocean, and from 1 to 4 p.an. in_London, all of which means the building of adequate | facilities before a service can really be offered as practical. Far from be- ing a monopoly in the general sense of the word, the movement is one of scientific development by the use of patents which the Government itself has granted exclusively.

He sald a police- man operating without lights to catch a speeder would be violating the reg- ulations and that if he knew of such instances he would take appropriate action. TInspector Brown also afinounced to- day that he is now fitting up a garage in the rear of the Traffic Bu- reau, on E street between Fourteepth and Fifteenth streets, with testing boards, where motorists may drive in during the day and find whether their lenses are properly focused. It will be ready for use in about a week. Heretofore the testing boards have been available only at night, when motorists are not so apt to be in the vicinity, but the inspector has ob- tained funds to enclose the boards in a darkened garage, where a test could be made at any hour of the day.

DISTRICT IS TESTING NEW GARBAGE STORAGE PLAN Despite Lower Hauling Cost, Com- missioner Bell Doubts System will Be, Adopted. The District is trying out a new method of collecting garbage. Port- able storage wagons are stationed at certain points to collect and transport large quantities to the disposal plant, thereby saving the collecting trucks time lost in hauling. However, Engl- neer Commissioner Bell expressed doubt today that the system would be adopted. Admitting that the new method would reduce the hauling cost, Col. Bell said he thought residents would object to these storage conveyances being statloned throughout the city. The present method of having trucks take their loads directly to the dis- posal station he believes is the best system. PE S New U. S. Phenomenon.

Rellef for timeless residents of Whashington is promised, however, from the Naval Observatory and the ‘Weather Bureau, both of which will give the correct time when called on the telephone. The Naval Observa- tory explained this service will be continued if the burden does not be- come onerous. Although supposed to become effec- tive on September 1, which starts at midnight tonight, the discontinuing order will actuaily not be in full force until 7 a.m. tomorrow, Mr. Dexter ex- plained. Tt will affect all of the 26,- 000 Western Union offices throughout the country. So If Washington's timeless residents wish to pass the time of day they must call elsewhere than the Western Union.

For months it has been one of the busiest telephones in Washington— one of the rare establishments where something is given for nothing. It has been the time service number of the Western Union Telegraph Co. ‘Washington clocks and watches have a notorfous habit of stopping in the middle of the night or losing 10 or 15 minutes in each 12 hours. Hitherto this has been of little real concern, because all the householder had to do was to call Franklin 7112 and a sweet feminine voice would answer: “The time s 7:15.” For years this eervice had been given by the Western Unlon for the convenience of the public. Formerly it was the practice merely to call ““Western Union.” Special Wire Necessary.
