TELEPHONE ACHIEVEMENTS


In no line Of human endeavor has the inventive

When the telephone was born, nothing analogous

There was no tradition to guide, no experience to
follow.
The system, the apparatus, the methods-an
lire nsw had to be created. The art of electrical
engineering did not exist The Bell pioncers recog-
.izins that success depended upon the highest ens
neerins and technical skill At organized
perimental and research department, which is
directed BY staff of $50 engineer and SCIENTIST

From ito Foundation the company has eontinu-
ossy developed the art New improvements in tele-
phones switchbosrds lines, cables have followed

Superficial observer suggested similarity, each step IN

The tightening ~ of the money
markets drove spectators out of the
market and left prices depending al
most wholly on packers who, owing
to setback in the provision market,
were not inclined to buy on a large
scale.
War today shrunk prices on the
board of trade and in no case did
any staple at the close show any
raise in value. Losses in provisions
were on huge scale. More than Il
million dollars was cut from the val

heavy, amounting to 10000 tirs and

THE MONEY !AARKET

New York, Aug. 3.-Thc money
market of New York, the infallabll
index to financial conditions, was
quiet today. Owing to suspension of
the stock exchange there was no
market for call loans. The demand
for time money was below normal.
The slackness of demand was regard
cd as a rcassuring indication One
of the largest banks in the street
made loans for all dates at six per
cent. In no quarter was there an
urgent demand for money, such as
might be expected in case the finan-
cial market was undergoing severe
strain.
Commercial paper was quoted at
six per cent for all dates. Brokers
who had loans maturing today paid
off their Indebtedness instead of ar
ranging for renewals as is customar-
lily the case when business is pro-
cccding normally in the street.

FAIR TO RIVAL

Albuquerque. n. NJ, Aug. 81
to be the most prosperous in the his
tory of New Mexico" said Ralph c.
Ely, president of the New Mexico
state fair commiss ion, who returned
here today after a trip In the interest
of the October fair which has taken
him into almost every county in the
state. Mr.. Ely has come back from
this trip with space reservations for
sixteen county exhibits. and innum-
sonal exhibits in both the farm pro-
ducts and livestock sections. He says
the people of New Mexico will have
more real money in their hands this
fall than they have ever had at one
time before, all due to n year of
providcntial rainfall. The unprecc-
| dcntcd July rainfall, varying from
| to 10 inches throughout the state
lie says has insured the favorable ma
turing of every crop.
'Thc July rains nave done some
damage" said Mr.. Ely. but the good
results are SO enormous rs to make
the damage INSIGNIFICANT. For in
stance, there are vast sections of cen
tral and western New Mexico range,
practically barren. On these grass is
growing knec-hiGh and rc-sccding is
certain over enormous areas. No
stockman will have to be told the
value of this.
81 have been literally astoundcd at
the development of the livestock and
dairying industry in the dry-farm
sections of the state since my last
trip over those sections two years
ago. Then "A whitefacc steer was so
rare as to excite comment and to
cause your guide to point him out.
Now every farmer has a few animals
of good breeds and the number of i'm
3ortant dairy herds is astonishing.
These dry-farmcrs have learned how
to get results out of what at ono time
seemed a hopeless proposition. They
have learned the use of the silo; the
Russian thistle. long looked upon as
an unmitigatcd nuisance. has filled
many a silo in eastern New Mexico
this season with sound all-wintcr
feed.
Results of this practical farm de-
vclOpmcnt are going to be seen at tile
state fair this year in series Of ex-
hibits likely to astonish even the
men who have been doing the dcvcl-
oping. They have astonishcd me,
and I have kept reasonably familiar
with the progress of the state"
The attendance at the fair this |
year is going to be record breaking, |
and since the people come not only to !
be cdficd by exhibits and evidences
of development. but also to be enter
taincd, the commission has closed
contracts for an amusement program

the fastest of the transatlantic
steamers.

to risk another trip across the ocean
was extended today to the Plant of

guard day and night. Strangers are
not allowed to enter the ships. All
sailors of the ship will be kcot on
board under scmi-military discipline.
The Uranium Line today posted
notice that the steamer Uranium,
which arrives her tomorrow from
Rotterdam, would sail on her return
to Rotterdam on August g and prep
arations were begun for this sailing.
The Uranium is Dutch ship and so
far as announced is the only vessel
proposing to sail for continental
port TINS week. Announcement
was made by the Cunard line that
the sailings of the Lusitania from
New York and the Franconcia from
Boston had been deferred until fur

Wireless messaS Ses were dispatched
today from the office of the North
German Lloyd steamship company in
Berlin ordering that the Kronprincc-
sin Ccvilie, which has on board ST.
900, 900 in gold for London and Paris
banks, to proceed directly to Belgium
without touching the usual points.
This order as announced at the New
York office of the com oany here was
taken to mean that the steamship Of
ficials proposed to deliver the gold
aboard German warships rather than
run the risk of seizure by British
ships.
The anxiety in New York for this
and other steamships increased as
the reports of war activities were
read today. There was relief in two
instances in the arrival of the steam
nrs George Washington from Berlin,
South Hampton. Chcrbourg. and The
from Rotterdam and Bo-

state are affected. The decision to
| issue certificates was reached after a
general discussion of the foreign sit

conditions here. 1t was the unani-
| nous opinion in view of the foreign
| situation that every means should be
adopted to protect the country's gold
supply
An additional resolution was
adopted making available in payment

markable appeal for the neutrality
of England in the European turmoil.
1t said in part: The maintenance
of British neutrality would in no
way, injure France. On the contrary.
it might be argued that by remain
ing neutral Great Britain would give
| France exactly as much strategic as
sistance and good deal more effect
i've diplomatic help as according to
all reliable information, theer is no
intention of sending British troops to
the continent as a few British divi-
sions considering the enormous num-
bers engaged could hardly alter the

All England can do for France is
to protect her northern coast from
invasion and prevent the neutral
ports of Belgium and Holland being
used as Il basis for armed aggression
against France.

an undertaking that she would not
attack France from sea or on tho

it appeared that she would be neu-
tral for the time being.
