What Company Has Accomplished.

Describing the task which has been
accomplished in making Washington
an integral part of the great telephone
system Of the country. Mr.. Bethel said:
Following the great storm of inau-
guration day in 1909, when, as every
body knows. the city of Washington
was completely cut off. not only in its
means OF communication. but also in
its means OF transportation, from the
rest of the world. the Bell Telephone
Company set itself to work immediate
ly to place in operation a system that
would prevent forever the complete
isolation of Washington from the ma
tion of which il is the capital.
washington is now at the southern
end Of an underground cable extending
northward through Baltimore. through
Philadelphia TIN ou"h New York. and
on to Eoston. in which cable there are
wires taking telephone and telegraphic
messages Nothing short Of an earth
quake can again detach Washington
from the rest of the country. Not only
did il cost a vast amount OF money to
install these cables. but before any
thing else could be done grave trans
mission difficulties had to be overcome.
] might explain by saying that twenty
miles of transmission on open wire IS
equal to one milo of transmission IN
cable. Special apparatus had to he per-
1ected and installed before this under
ground plant could be made service

NEED CARE WHEN THE
 NATION FIGHTS
Foreign Statistics Given Out by the ChiIdren's Bureau of U. s. Labor
 Department.

WASHINGTON, May 9-Thousands of children besides war orphans and refugees have been directly affected by the war, according to reports rom belligerent countries which have come to the Children's Bureau of the United States Department of La bor. Juvenile delinquency has in creased, more children have been employed under adverse conditions, sary to protect the health of moth CTS and babies. and home life has been broken up by the increased em- ployment of mothers.
 The bureau believes that the ex- perience of other countries should be carefully considered in order that all possible provision may be made to prevent similar harm to children in the United States. The bureau has therefor begun a brief review of foreign experience, in so far as it can be understood from available reports. and will shortly publish a series of special articles about chil- dren in war time.
 A preliminary survey of the foreign material emphasizes the importance of strict enforcement of all child labor and school attendance laws and generous development of in fant-welfare work by public and pri- vate agencies. The childrens bu- reau suggests that well-planned baby week will be more valuable this year than ever before and will glad ly send it's bulletin of directions for baby-week campaigns to any ad- dress.
 To those who are especially inter- ested in working children, the bu- reau's new report on the employ ment-certificate system in New York state will show certain points which are essential if age limit for chil- drcn's work is to be effective.
