BOOSTERS OF LONDON
SAY CITY NOW COUNTS
8,000,000 RESIDENTS
LONDON, Apr. 2.—Recent unoffi
cial estimates of the population of
Greater London have put the fig
ures at about S.000,000. The Lon
don telephone area covers 735 square
miles, and the metropolitan police
district GDI square miles, and both
are said to begrowiug rapidly. The
distances acros London, from vari
ous sections of the greater city, vary
from 20 to 30 miles.
Sir Kingsley Wood, M. P., speaking
recently on the housing question, an
nounced that the total number of
houses authorized at the beginning
1924 aggregated 198,SOS, and of
these 52,109 had already been com
pleted.
Many Londoners were confirmed
town-dwellers, the speaker said, and
a certain percentage of them always
would be. They preferred the cinema
to the country, ant^ they disliked a
long journey whien cut into their
leisure.
Without imitating tile worst fea
tures of the Ameiican skyscraper it
should be possible to erect dwellings
with generous gardens or ground
space and with proper arrangement
for decent living, and thus work
out an eventual remedy to help re
lieve London’s housing situaticn
which, for generations, has been one
of the city’s most diffcult prob
lems.

1,000 Good Homes Offered
To Famous Clock of 1876
ALBANY, Apr. 2.—The tower clock
which was awarded first, prize at
the Centennial Exposition at Phila
delphia in 1876 has found a perma
nent home in the new companile be
, ing erected on thecampus of the
j State Teachers’ College, at Cedar
i Falls, la.
The clock, built by the late Chas.
Fa sold t of this city, has been in the
possession of the Fasoldt family un
til the present time. A few weeks
ago Dudley Fasaldt, grandson of the
builder and owner of the timepiece,
announced he would give it to the
j institution offering the best lionie
I and care for it. More than 1,000 ap
| plications were received within a
| week after Mr. Fasoldt’s offer had
been published. They came from
churches, colleges, municipalities and
commercial organizations.
Officials of the State ,Teachers’ Col
lege at Cedar Falls have guaranteed
that the clock will have the best of
care by the institution’s own mechan
ics and electricians. The campanile
in which it is to be installed is lo
cated on high ground and the dial
will be visible for miles. The clock
in its half century of existence, has
shown a maximum variation of less
than 10 seconds a year from solar
time.

integration of radium into lead, Prof.

If I Had Only
Known
TWO WOMEN went out to buy a certain expen
sive labor-saving device for the home.
One was greatly disappointed when, a few days
later, they compared notes. She had bought the
same product that many of her friends had owned.
The other woman had secured a greatly im
proved, new product—costing less, but of much more
value.
“If I had only known there was a better one/’
the first woman said, “I would never have bought
this old one.”
“I had just read about it in an advertisement,”
explained the wise buyer.
