THE LAKE SHORE HEWS. THURSDAY, JULY St. 1114. $750,000 ID BE SPENT OH TOLL SERVICE Chicago Telephone Company Decides on Expenditure of Urge Fortune in Effort to Improve Service. GRAND OPERA BEGINS 0NWEN8TIAKMNT0LUB ORTY CITIES TO BENEFIT Ter. Thousand Miles tf Wire Will Be Added to Long Distance Mile- age in Northern lllinoii-- >*&'■•■■■ Increase Cable Lines. Three-quarters of a million dollars will be expended by the Chicago Tel- ephone company to Increase long dis- tance telephone facilities between Chicago and north shore cities and otber points in Cook, Lake and Mc- Henry counties as tar west as Mc- Henry. More thftn forty Illinois cities and towns will be benefited by the Im- provement, which will be the biggest of Its kind aver made by the Chicago Telepnene company... Ten thousand miles of wire wilt be added to the long distance wire mile- age in northern Illinois. More than sixty miles of toll cable containing 9,000 miles of telephone wire will be run, from Chicago to McHenry. From Chicago to Great Lakes, the naval training .station, four miles south of Waukegan, this cable will be placed In the present wire subway along the northi shore. To connect with the un- derground cable at Great Lakes an aerial cable has been built westward to MeHenry, a distance of twenty-two miles. -> . ^. • Evanston to Benefit . ' Evanston will benefit • by new toll lines ' from neighboring points and Chicago. Many other places through which ;the big cable will.not pass are to share in the advantages of higher grade Jong distance service oy means of new lines- of open wire which will be connected with the new cable. In all, 1.Q0O miles of hew open wire lines will be built for the benefit of places not on the cable route. TW^tble from Great Lakes to Mc- Henry is the longest aerial cable .for long distance telephoning in the mid- dle west, it will relieve;the present polo line which i3 heavily loaded with opeii-wires.; v; ; < '■ One of the greatest advantages of the new cable is that it Is practically storm-proof. Poles supporting large numbers of wires are severely taxed when the wires become weighted down with ice and sleet. A single long distance cable takes the place of fiJlE or more pairs of open wires. The poles upon which the Great Lakes to McHenry cable has been run number fifty-two to the mile. They are all to be stripped of cross arms and used for this one cable exclusively. Special precaution against storm damage or any interference with service has been taken by anchoring the heavy strand Which supports the cable to the earth at regular and frequent In- tervals. Large Expense Involved. The enormous expense attached to the building of the cable from Chi- cago to McHenry is due to the urge amount of special equipment neces- sary to make it efficient for long dis- tance talking. The wires In the ca- ble will be nine times the size of wires in cable used for local telephone communication. _________ Wires in cable will not carry the voice over long distance unless each pair of wires In the cable is equipped with a device known as a "loading coil," an invention of recent years. Because* ot the large number of Wires or electrical paths in a cable, the electric current which carries the sound of the voice performs queer antics, and as a result the voice can not be distinct NEXT WEEK AT RAVINIA Strong Company formed and Will Be Supported by Chi- cago Symphony Orchestra. Ravlnia authorities have announced the engagement of Iftaaeesco Daddi of the Chicago Grand Opera company as an added attraction In the six weeks of grand opera: most of it in English, to begin there July 27. Slgnor Daddi has been popular as an eccentric comedian in the winter seasons of opera here. Two roles in which he will probably appear at Ravinia are the valet-de-chambre In "Tales of Hoff mann," and as the rone m the "Jewels of the Madonna." No definite announcement of the nightly programs baa been made. The repertory will Include the following operas: "Jewels of "the Madonna," "Mme. Butterfly," "Thais,** "Carmen.' •Louise." "Manon." "I Fagllacci," 'Secret of Suzanne," "Lohengrin," "Mignon," "Faust," "Tales of. Hoff- mann," "Cavalleria Rustlcanna,'- "Alda," "Lucia di Lamermoor." "La Boheme," "La Tosca" and "Martha. - The grand opera season just open- ing is far more pretentious than those of previous years at Ravinia. In the past acts only from the sere familiar Operas have been given. It will be In- teresting to see how the summer crowds will take to the experiment, although the test, as the repertory shows, is not so severe as It might be made. RETURN FROM TRIP; FINDS HOUSE Onderdonk's Residence En* tered and $700 Worth of Jewelry Taken* When J. Lawrence Onderdonk, son in-law of W. A. Gardner, president of the Chicago & North Western railway, and family returned from a trip east yesterday afternoon and entered their home at 521 Grove street; Evanston, it was evident that somebody had ar- rived before ..them, and had taken away most everything of value. ;;>" When the Onderdonks went away they left a key with a neighbor and asked them to keep an eye on the place. The people, who has! the key made their last inspection on Friday evening. Everything was Jn place-- nothing was missing. Between that time and yesterday afternoon some- body eniersd the house and took 57< worth of jewelry and valuables. ■ The neighbors now remember hearing some noise in the place about 10 o'clock Saturday morning. They did not investigate. The police are doing that now after the scent is thirty-six hours old.--------7.----- BILLS LOCKED IN COMMITTEES (Continued from Page 1) down together, it will probably be op, as I do not Imagine the Senate will agree to come down.

Colburn of Glen View repented ber victory of last sea- son In the annual woman's open tournament at the Beverly Country club, deefating" Miss Florence Ellis of Calumet In the elghteen-bole finals yesterday, 2 and 1. The match was close, Mrs. Colburn never being more than two holes up on her opponent. tance unless a "loading coil" Is used Loading coils, placed at regular inter vals along each pair of wires, rein force the sound waves carrying the voice and keep the electric current from losing its power to reproduce the voice perfectly at the other end of the tine. Coils Reinforce Wire*. The effect of the "loading coll" on sound waves In telephone wires is shown by g>. simple and familiar lllus t ration. If a person should grasp the loose end of a small rope fastened to a Post 100 feet distant, and shake the rope, it would respond with a wave- like motion and the waves would travel from the hand to the post. But these wave motions would grow smaller or weaker and almost disap- pear before reaching the post How- •▼er. if two or three small weights were tied' to the rope at equal Inter- vaU th--# -«fgMs w"l* in turn, n- '=force the wave motion so that when ^ *aW reached the post It would be only a little smaller and weaker tbsa n w«a when it started from the wrcea the electrical voice waves of "• telephone circuit aa the weights '•Inforce the wave motion of the PERSONAL MENTION Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Brice end son, of La Grange, 111., are the guests of fctr. and Mrs. C.W.
