Lamp, Giving Rays Like Sun’s, for Use At Home, Studied Electric Light Bulb to Re- place Present Type Is Being Developed. 1| By the Associated Press, | aid offered by Silas H. Strawn, chair- NEW YORK, January 28.—An elec- tric lamp for general use which will give off healthful rays, like sunlight, is in the process of development by en- | gineers. Dr. M. Luckeish, director of lighting | research for the National Electric Lamp | Works of the General Electric Co., de- scribed the lamp at the convention ct electrical engineers last night, and out- lined the possibilities seen for it when perfected. ‘The lamp contains tungsten filament, such as is used in ordinary light bulbs, together with a mercury tube. Heat from the filament vaporizes the mer- cury, creating an arc which is com- pleted almost instantly after the cur- rent is turned on. “This light,” Dr. Luckeish said, “is the first practical source for simulating sunlight which has been developed with a possible new era of lighting in mind.” ' AN ExpEcTATION SURPASSED It was expected that the men who now control Durant Motors would introduce a line of good motor cars, APPEARANCE PERFORMANCE COMFORT VALUE D That they would build honest cars, Cars of character that would serve long and economically and well—pre- cisely the kind of cars they have been in the habit of building for many years. It was also regarded as certain that the new Durants would bring a new response to the throttle and a new thrill to the wheel. For no group of manufacturers has more consistently stressed the importance of motor car performance. / That each of these ekpectations has been realized is attested by the recep- tion accorded these cars wherever shown. But few would have prophesied that Durant, or any other builder, could have produced, at Durant prices, a line of motor cars 86 comfortable, so roomy and so smart in line and design. Durant has surpassed public ex- pectation. Natlon wide Radio Program every Sunday st 7p. m. (Eastern Time) through WEAF, New York and 39 associsted stations of the National Brosdcasing Co.

NEW YORK, January 28.—William Fox today sought the consent of credit- ors and stockholders to a reorganiza- tion plan by which he hopes to stave off receiverships for the Fox Film Cor- poration and the Fox The ters Corpo- ration, both of which he heads. His proposal, advanced by his counsel, Samuel Untermyer, at a Federal Court hearing on three of the four receiver- ship petitions pending, calls for the resignation of all officers and directors of the Fox Film Corporation and the appointment of Bernard M. Baruch, Edward Delafield, president of the Bank of America, and Herbert P. Howell, president of the Commercial Nluémfl Bank, as trustees of the voting stock. Before Judge Frank J. Coleman ad- Journed the receivership hearing yes- terday to this afternoon, the ereditors expressed opposition to the plan through their counsel, Morton Bogue, who said: “We would rather have a receivership.” Mr. Untermyer said that a financing plan was being worked out by a group of bankers consisting of Dillon, Read & Co., Lehman Bros. and Bancamerica- Blair & Co. Keepers from the office of Sheriff Farley took possession of all buildings and contents owned by the Fox Film Corporation in New York County after the sheriff’s office had levied executions on the judgment obtained by the Pub- lic National Bank for $342,158 on a note. .

FeBruARY—Out Now! * EVERYWOMAN'S MAGAZINE * AT THE AUTOMOBILE SHOW A distinguished exhibition of fine coach- work on the notable Lincoln chassis To THE person really Interested in motor cars as fine as any that can be constructed, the display at the Automobile Show of fine coschwork om precision-built Lincoln chassis will repay a visit. There are new body types, carefully considered additions to the regu- \lar Lincoln group, that represent the last word in point of design and equipment in both closed and open cars. This exhibit is of particular interest, for the cars on display embody three carefully tested chassis developments thes materially increase Lincoln ease of operation and riding quality. These developments are in line with the Lincoln policy of having no yearly models; but of steadily develop- ing the car in all its parts, and adding these developments whenever they are perfected. "* LINCOLN THERE CAN BE No STANDING STILL WWASHINGTON began the New Year with 159,000 telephones, or about 1 for every 3 persons, Qur customers are served by a system which represents an expenditure for buildings, plant and equipment of more than $30,000,000, and each new year brings with it a re- quirement for more service involving further extensions and added expenditures. During 1930 we plan to spend more than $3,500,000 for additions and improvements. ¢ ¢ The Company must be ready well in advance to provide telephone service to meet the requirements of the business and social life of the city. More and better service to the public are two of the primary objectives of telephone workers, and these make for progress in the business. There can be no standing still. This is evidenced by the fact that: Nearly 5,700,000 out-of-town calls were handled — more than 15,600 a day, an in= crease of 119, over 1928. This large increase During 1929 = More than 201,000,000 local calls were handled—an average of 550,000 a day and a 6% increase over the previous year. in business involved the installation of con= siderable additional telephone plant during the year. During 1930 = Dial service will be introduced about the , middle of the year, in three dowmtown central offices — District, Metropolitan, and National. These offices will serve approx- imately 60,000 telephones—more than one- third of the total number in Washington. It is estimated that 8,700 new telephones will be added to the system. 28,500 telephones were put in service and 19,950 were taken out, making a net gain for the year of 8,550. The new seven.story building at 730 We also estimate that we will handle 214,000,000 local calls and 6,266,000 out-of- Twelfth Street, Northwest, erected primar- ily to house the new downtown dial central offices, was completed in September at a cost, including land, of more than $1,000,000. town calls—substantial increases over 1929. To meet the expected increase in out-of- town calls 30 additional switchboard posi- tions will be added at a cost of $136,000. We believe that the continued growth of the business is definite evidence of the value of our service to the public. Looking Ahead Five Years We estimate that during the next five years it will be necessary to spend approximately $22,000,000 in the District of Columbia to meet the public’s requirements for service. This is evidence of our faith in the future progress of the city. . The Company renews its pledge to provide the most telephone service and the best at the least possible cost to its patrons consistent with financial safety. The Chesapeake and Potomac Teléphone Co.
