OVERSEA TELEPHONE SERVICE IMPROVED Land Obstacle Overcome by In- stallation of New Wire Route to Maine. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, February first great obstacle on land that has seriously interfered with the < radio telephone ser- was overcome today with the successtul opening of a new land- wire route from Houlton. Me. to New York, to replace a leg of the regular route disrupted for several hours in an_early morning blizzard in Maine, officials of the Ame: Telephone & Telegraph Co. announced. Conversations, scheduled between London and San Francisco under today’s extension of the new service to the Pacific Coast, were carried on only a little more than two hours behind schedule, it was said. ‘The new route used the regular line from Lewiston, Me., to the Houl- ton radio reception station, but from Lewiston to New York, passed over | the less direct route embracing Berlin, N. H. Littleon and White River Junction, N. H Pacifle-London Talks. SAN FRANCISCO, February 26 (#). —The Pacific Coast talked to London | today over wire and aerial telephone ! lines. The beginning of the service | was delayed more than two hours because of wire interruption in New England. H. D. Pillsbury, president of the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Co., was the first man on the Coast to speak across the continent and the! Atlantic. He was connected with H. E. Shreeve, of the American Tele- fln,one & Telegraph Co., who was in ndon. Pillsbury told Shreeve he had just finished breakfast, the time being a few minutes after 9 am. Commer- clal calls were accepted after tele- phone company officials in Seattle, Portland and Los Angeles had talked with London.

President Coclidge was invited yes-| terday to spend his Summer vacation | in Wyoming, near the Cody entrance to the Yellowstone National Park. A delegation came to Washington from Cody to present the invitation personally in the form of a letter from Gov. Emerson of Wyoming. | Dressed in the familiar wide-brimmed hats and buckskin coats of the old West, the members of the committee were introduced to President Coolidge by Stephen Mather, director of the National Park Service. The home that was offered to President Coolidge as a Summer White House includes 10,000 acres of land, the property of Willlam R. Coe. It is only a short distance from the town of Cody. President Coolidge was assured by Mr. Mther and the other members of the party he would not only have the benefit of a healthful climate and beautiful mountains to supply scenery, but that the many streams both on the ranch and in the nearby Yellow- stone National Park would supply him with the sportiest fishing that could be found anywhere in the world. They ‘“guaranteed” that he would | catch plenty of trout. | As the climax to their plea, the committee members introduced to the President, Miss Cody Allen, grand- niece of the famous scout, “Buffalo Bill” Cody, for whom the town of Cody is named. Miss Allen in turn presented the President a genuine cowboy sombrero, which she told him the people of Wyoming hoped to see him wear on the ranch offered him in realistic Far-Western fashion. President Coolidge having received numerous invitations to establish a Summer White House elsewhere, thanked the delegation for the cour- tesy, but sald that he would have to reserve his decision until later.

TO RESERVE National Aeronautic Associa- tion Will Ask Blank Entries for Three Planes. Three blank entries for three American racing planes will be made for the Schneider international sea- plane trophy race, to be held at Ven- ice, Italy, in the Fall, as a result of action taken yesterday by the con- test committee of the National Aero nautic Association. The unknown planes will be en- tered by the assoclation before March 1, the closing date, and will be ac- companted by 16500 francs, which is the bond required to guarantee ap- pearance. By this action, taken on the recom- mendation of Porter Adams, president of the association, places are reserved in the International competition for | America and greater opportunity is| given Mr. Adams and his associates to secure one or more pilots and planes to represent American aircraft A victory for America this year means permanent possession of the coveted trophy. The Navy, contender for and de- fender of the trophy since 1923, has withdrawn from participation this ear on the ground that the expens f equipping a racing team with three new planes and engines is prohibitive. The association has until 30 days be fore the race to secure a physical en- trant and if none is produced at that time the bond will be forfeited. The money will be posted by the associa- tion. ) Ordered to Fort Bliss. Lieut. Col.
