MASTERS
NOT UNCOMMON
Jly23, sat,1yr'

Speaking of lady masters Of
oranges in Maine, the information
which came from Saco, saying they
had there elected the first lady master
in the State is erroneous, according
to the word received from more than
one good granger, Friday. During
this past year there were no less
than 80 lady masters in the subor-
dinate oranges and one lady master
in a Maine pomona grange. The
first lady master Of Chelsea Grange
was Mrs. Laura Thompson, who was
elected over IS years ago. She is
not supposed to have been the first
woman in the State to occupy such a
position, 80 that even at that time
the woman in the masters chair was
not new. Since that time Chelsea
Grange alone has had five lady
masters. Saco is not unusual in hav-
ing a lady master for their grange.

Manager Gray Gives
Interesting Address on
Subject. sThe Teleph0ne'

The wonderful development Of the
science Of telephony from the be-
ginning, including the very latest in
repeater, wireless telephony. etc
were described and illustrated by F.
p. Gray, commercial manager of the
New England Telephone & Telegraph
company in a lecture entitled Mile
stones in Telephone History" given
before the Mems club of the Penney
Memorial church Friday evening.
1.-The telephone was d discovery
rather than an invention" said Mr..
Gray. There are few inventions or
discoveries that are fundamental
the telephone was one of them. The
struggles Of Alexander Graham Bell.
before he realized his dream, are full
Of romance.
"Possibly there may have been in
ventions Of more Importance from a
scientific point of view than the tele-
phone, although this is doubtful, but
certainly nothing was ever discover
ed that so vitality affected the 3us-
anu SOSlhl AAiC VI eiiN NoihAAheAAt
ity. This fact explains the interest
with which any lecture on the tele-
phone is always received.
In the evolution Of telephone de-
velopment there have been several
Notwithstanding of a relatively
new development. These epochs may
properly be termed milestones along
the path of progress. Problems caus-
ed by new conditions or by the rap
idly increasing demands for service
had to he met by new ideas and new
devices"
Mr.. Gray gave complete resume
of the several steps in the progress
of telephony. starting with the orig
inal telephone and the crude switch
boards and instruments of the carly
days. which SO few Of us know any
thing about. The contrast of these
crude devices with the apparatus of
the present day, as pictured on the
screen. was indeed a revelation.
These and many other changes,
made necessary as the industry de-
veloped. We're revolutionary in char
acter and cost millions Of dollars.
The road to success was filled with
obstacles difficult to overcome, but
the engineering forces of the Amer
lean Telephone & Telegraph company
have successfully surmounted them
all
AS milestones marking the path Of
progress, Mr.. Gray mentioned the
substitution Of the metallic circuit
for ground lines; copper wire in place
Of iron; underground cables for over
head construction in cities; multiple
switchboards, whereby all lines en-
tering an exchange are within reach
OF each operator: the telephone re-
peater that made 1t possible to talk
across the continent: the wireless
telephone, carrying the human voice
not only across the continent, but
across the ocean as well: directing
the movement of airplanes by wire
less from ground station; the null
tiplex apparatus. making one wire

ing telephone. magnifying the voice
millions of times, etc.
This lecture was finely illustrated
with some stereopticon slides and af-
forded a fine evenings entertainment.

LITTLE SIGN OF
 IMPROVEMENT IN
 WORLD CONDITIONS
Financially and Economically Situation Shows Little Change, Summaries From
 Abroad Show
By Associated Press

Washington April s.--Einancially and economically the situation throughout the world improved but little in March with few signs of better conditions to come, according to cabled summaries for the month received today by the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce from it's trade commissioners and commercial attaches in foreign countries.
 In Europe tight money unemployment and unsatisfactory industrial and ship ping conditions were in evidence while some declines in prices and slight re- vival of building activities were noted. In the east the situation was described as somewhat easier while in South America conditions were reported as practically unchanged from the previous month.
 Commercial Attache Dennis reported that the business depression in Great Britain has increased owing to the pros pective failure of an early settlement with Germany of the reparations ques- ton. Optimism that prevailed in the co., ton textile industry has been dissipated, he declared, both by the increase in cus- toms tariff of British Indian and a fur ther decline in the price of silver.

- Practically since the conclusion of the bring for it. |.
 The Wilson administration was abused in some quarters when it hesitated, and tl.en as result of checking and recheck- ing, hesitated again. When the Hard ing administration assumed office, it was announced that the list would be printed by April i.
 Secretary Weeks checked the list and checked it again. He then referred the matter to the Attorney General. MT. Eaugherty urged him to go slow for fear of doing serious and permanent injury to some fellow who actually served his country.
 There is the difficulty. In the begin ming the list contained about 90 GU names. As result of the checking in the Wilson administration, more than 100 0u) were eliminated. It was asccrtained that many men, who had good- records, were as result of some error listed among the bad.
 MT. Weeks has apparently taken the position that it would be the most se- rious imputation against the character Of man falsely to charge him with a refusal to serve his country while at war, and a fugitive, on that account, from justice. He holds, it seems, that it would be better for many thousands to escape popular censure than to condemn one innocent man to such punishment.
 But the list will be printed some of these days. But before it is printed 1t will be considered and reconsidered until the chance ofsinjurying some inno- cent man is reduced to a minimum.
 The stacker list contains names of men formerly residing in every state of the United States, the percentage on a basis of population being. it is said. al- most identical. There is some doubt ex- pressed as to the latter, however.

PERSH|NG INTENDS

Ambassador to Tokio and Other Easy Places Are Prob able for Late Commander
 of Yankees In France
By HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau The Ake-Herald
 500 DaVidRoU RufIdina :,

Washington, April 9.-(Special. .)-J ohm W. Weeks, Secretary of War. and the President of the United States are con- fronted with a problem which they re- gard as of more than ordinary impor- tance. They are trying to find something for Gen. John J. Pershing to do.
 In other years, the commanding gem eral of United States troops, following a war, has been elected President. There fore, there was no problem of this char acter for preceding administrations to solve. As result, there is no precedent
 It is understood that Secretary Weeks has asked General Pershing what as signment would be most pleasing to him. It is likewise understood that General Pershing has replied. in effect, that he would be pleased with any assignment the secretary desired to make.
 The secretary, in a discussion with Washington newspaper men, declared that various assignments were under consideration. He listed some of them as follows:
 MANY JOBS OPEN
 Ambassador to Japan, ambassador to France, chief of staff of the United States army. general of the army, Gov ernor general of the Philippine Islands envoy extraordinary on a tour of the world, retirement with full pay and all lowances, amounting to $A,0oO per an- nuni.
 It is not anticipated that General Per shing would like to serve in Japan. The French post has already been accepted by Myron Herrick it is generally known, although Herrick. for a time, did hesitate on account of the expense involved
 It is said, also, that General Pershing has no "hankering'' after the Philippines This and the ambassadoral suggestions imply much hard work, and General Per- shing, it is intmated. feels that he has earned long vacation.
 HAS HAD GOOD TIMES
 The general, who, in recent days has developed a great fondness for laugh ing, did more than smile when ap- preached by correspondents. He laughed There was the plain intination in his demeanor that the troubles in the case were Secretary Weeks troubles and not his. There is no doubt but that the general is satisfied with his present berth. Since the armistice he has basked in the sunshine of popular ap- proval and had a good time.
 He declined to talk about the matter. He knows that he will be well cared for. He knows that nothing will be given him to do that will not be entirely com patible with his rank. And therefore he will not worry.
 But there is a report that the general would like to see the countries of the world in the capacity of envoy extra ordinary of the United States; and ther retire on full pay. This may be the so- lution.

 Throughout the tisne he vas in the coal strike district and ale though he passed within a few feet of the camp houses of some of the striking miners at BIocton, Governor KiIby was not recognized except by those who knew of his trip.
 Governor KilBy stepped out of Montgomery after advising only a few persons that he desired to Ob- tain first-hand information about conditions at the convict mines of Jenerson and surrounding coun- ties In so far as the public knew, the governor was at his home in AnnistOB. He left here in mn automobile and remained In the ear until he had visited the convict mines at Montevallo, Belle Ellen, Flat Top and Banner and had inspected the state insane hospital at Tuscaloosa, the Boys Industrial school at East Lake and other eleemosynaPy institutions about Birmineham.
 PRISONERS LIKE HOTELS
 The governor had not visited the convict camp for several months, having heen detained in MontEo,n- cry by the extra session of the leg isInture late in the year and the coal strike, which required con stant attention. No prison or state institution was advised eff his cOm- ing and his visit WAS a surprise party in each instance.
 The executive said he found con dftiOns at the prisons unusually good and the buildings ms we'll kept If not better kept than the average hoteis.

 FRENCH MARKET DULL
 American imports into France continue to show marked reductions. Commercial Attache Huntington at Paris informed the bureau. Unsettled European condi- tions, the unsatisfactory result of the reparations conferences, and the refusal of Germany to pay installments due on account of reparations contributed to a dull financial market during the month The situation also was described as in fluenced by the question of the Upper Si- lesian plebiscite the British coal strike and the situation in Hungary
