ings Of this kind, inquiries are being
received at its offices almost daily for

Rental property in desirable sections
of Salt Lake needs little advertising,
as it rents very quickly. This speaks
well for our city, an officer OF the
company remarked in recent conver-
sation. 1.-THE demand for modern homes
and apartments should be more readily
met
"One encouraging feature about the
matter is the fact that a great many
people who have been renting in the
past are now building their own homes
This is relieving the situation to some
extent. There are more homes in course

trustees, there remains but $l49.IO to
be raised to complete the 100000 en-
dowment fund for the Kauikeolani
Children's Hospital. The endowment
figure was set by the trustees of the
organization some time ago, and prior
to the benefit fair, it was found that
$4,000 was needed to make the endow-
ment complete. A gift of $4,000, with
proyiso that the remaining $4,000
would be raised, was received from
George Wilcox, and after paying all
expenses or the fair, a small sum still
remained to be raised The trustees
will endeayor to complete the endow-
ment fund before the middle OF next
week.
At a recent meeting of the board of
trustees of the hospital, DR.. James R.

CABLE SERVICE

Vice Consul c. Miller at Colombo,
CeyIcn. writes the state department
as follows:
"A new cable is to be laid during
1913 by the Eastern Telegraph Co,
Ltd, and the Eastern Extension Co,
Ltd, direct from Lands End, England.
TO Hongkong, China, by way OF Suez,
Alden, Colombo, Penang, and Singa-
pore. This means that Colombo will
be in direct cable communication
with London, only 10 minutes away
in the transmission Of messages, and
it also means direct communication
between Colombo and China without
retransmissicn. The Malta section
to Alexandria has already been laid,
leaving about 5000 miles to be COM
pleted out of a total of $4,000 miles.
The next section to be laid is from
Colombo to Penang, and it is under
stood that it will be completed by
July, 1913. Work is also to be COM
menced soon on the other sections
by the Maintenance Construction Co.
The new cable will cost about f1,500,-
900 ts7,300.0O0).
"Ine cable as far as Colombo will
be laid by the Eastern Telegraph Co.,
while that beyond will be laid by the
Eastern Extension Co. With the ex-
ception of a small land cable from
Alexandria to Suez, the whole line
will be under the sea. 1t is said that
it will lie the largest cable ever laid.
Great Saving of Time Expected.
at now takes about 211 hours to
transmit a 20-word message from
Bombay to London, and further
hour or hour and half for the mes
sage to be sent from Colombo to
Bombay. BY the new cable, on a
message from Colombo to London, a.
saving of hours and so minutes will
be effected in transit, while on a
message sent to Bombay there will
be a saving of 2 hours and 20 min
utes. This great saving OF time is
due to the fact that by the new sys-
TEN, known as the slot system, mes
sage is mechanically transmitted
from section to section of cable and
is not relayed by hand until it
reaches its ultimate destination, thus
avoiding or reducing to a minimum
the chances of mutilation in retrans-
mission. Under the present system
a message has to be deciphered and
retransmitted at Lisbon, Gibraltar.
Malta, Alexandria, Alden and Bonn
bay. The new cable is to be entirely
under European management with
European operators.
s''It is expected that all the Straits
Settlements messages for Australia
will be sent over the new cable. With
theoAdyent of this new cable the cost
of cabling between India and London
will be greatly reduced. At present.

dian government on all ordinary
messages passing via Madras be-

FACTS ABOUT 81
BULGARIAN WOMEN

In the absence of men on active
service, Bulgarian women have had to
do much that is usually regarded as
mems work, and it is admitted that
they have done it well. "The women
found themselves promoted as neces-
sary beings. Some cleaned the streets;
others drove cabs; a few applied to
be enrolled as policewornen. Three
were enrolled, and their drill began;
but the three soon discovered, they
were not needed. With all the men
fighting their country's battles there
was no one to get drunk, to give black
eyes, or to steal-the policeman's oc-
cupation was gone"
The son of the prime minister en-
ployed twenty women in the foreign
