APRIL PROBATION REPORT
Five Assault Cases-Four Runaways-
A Record Period.

Five cases of statutory assaults on
young girls were handled by probation
officers in Topeka during the month
of April, according to Miss Eva Corn
ing, probation officer.
Warrants were issued in two of the
cases. In the others, as yet, no action
has been taken, pending investigation
by court officers.
There were four runaway girls TAX
en- before the court and either re-
turned to their homes or placed in the
detention home. The total number of
girls whose neglect by parents or
whose own actions brought them be-
fore the court was twenty in April
according to Miss Corning.
Two girls were sent to Lansing for
treatment and one was taken to the
girls industrial school al Beloit. The
number of juvenile cases of boys han
died by T. D. Williams, juvenile Off
Ger, exceeds the number of girls.
Robbery. incorrigibility and other
misdemeanors were registered against
the Topeka boys. April was record
month in handling cases of Juvenile
delinquency.
In fact, the children who officers
believed should be placed in the de-
ton home, numbered more than the
accomm odations of the home at 400
Harrison street.
The home used by the county has
been the subject of much criticism in
reports by the state board of health,
not because of any fault on the part
of the matron but because of the in
adequate facilities.
At the time of the unfavorable re-
port it was announced that the county
commissioners contemplated using the
buildings of the old county poor farm
for a detention home upon the com
pletion of the new home and hospital
However. since that time there have
been denials that the county commits
sioners would move the detention
home so far into the country. The
commissioners have not publicly, at
least, intimated what they intend to
do relative to new detention home.

LEAP YEAR DANCE
 ENJOYED BY MANY; SUCCESS Of YEAR

Nenana's first Leap Year dance, which took place at Union hall on Saturday night under the direction of a committee of ladies of which Mrs. Herman Rosburg was chair man. was very largely attended and one of the most enjoyable affairs ever held here, the ladies entering into the spirit of the occasion in a manner that left little to be desired by the men in the way of enter tainment. The ladies enjoyed the opportunity to do their own choosing of partners for once, and the men did not suffer any in consequence. And a number of novelty dances, which were introduced during the evening, left the choice of partners to chance, with results generally satisfactory.
 The hall was very elaborately dec orated for the occasion, large hearts

percent, the number of telephones 1928 percent, the number of mess ages 90.5 percent, for systems hay ing incomes of s5,000 or more.
 A comparison by geographic di- visions brings out the fact that considerably more than one-half of the telephone systems reporting an- nual incomes of S5,000 or more in 1917 were located in the Middle West, while systems and lines re- porting incomes of less than S5,000 were found in the largest numbers in the Western states of the central groups.
 The financial statistics of the re- port show that, while the revenue of the telephone companies has more than doubled during the decade 1907-1917, the expenses have in creased at an even more rapid rate. Much of the increase in expenses was due to increase in salaries and wages paid. These had advanced from 47.4 percent of the total ex- penses in 1912 to 54.2 percent in 1917. For systems reporting annual incomes of. more than s5,000 in 1917, the average total revenue per telephone was s3S.41, average net income per telephone S6.13, and average surplus per telephone s1.45.
 This report of the telephone in- dustry is part of the "Census Of Electrical Industries" which was taken in 1918, covering the opera tions of the fiscal year 1917.
 The first census of the telephone industry was taken in connection with the decennial census in 1880, only two years after the first public telephone exchange was opened fo: business at New Haven, Conn.,. on January 25, 1878. In 1890 cen sus of telephones was again taken with the regular decennial census but for 1902 and for every ff-t year since a census of electrical in dustries, which includes telephones has been taken. The development of the industry, therefore. is showr from it's infancy.
