SUBMARINE CABLING
NOT HURT BY RADIO
No Spot in HabitabIe Globe That
Cannot Be Reached by Great
Arterial System.

LONDON, Sept. 27.-Submarine cabling
Is not in danger Of being superseded by
wireless transmission. If one may Judge
from the activities OF cable companies
since the arnistice. One European COM
pany has laid over $4,000 miles of ocean
cable in the past three years, and it is
believed that American companies have
done as much in other parts of the sea
Today the world Is encircled by 325, 900
miles of electrified ropes that carry mes
sages from man to man. Fifty years ago
there were only 5000 nautical miles of
cable. On the modern routes duplicate
are provided. and the entire system is
linked up by alternative and circuitous
lines, so that If interruption occurs on
one artery another may be quickly
pressed into use. Land lines that links
these ocean cables into one vast network
constitutes the nervous system of the
civilized world. There is hardly any spot
on the habitable globe which cannot
speedily be reached by a message over
this great arterial system.

MOVIES FIND RIP
VAN WINKLE TOWN
Director Looking For Country,
Town Breezed Into BernadOte
and Upsets Old Inhabitants.


SPRINGFIELD. ILL.,. Sept. 27.--
Bernadote, q Rip Van Wrinkle town, Is
awakening from century of sleep.
Like those souls living ION yonder
hilf' above Spoon River, who were
quickened into life by the imagination
of Edgar Lee Masters in his "Anthol-
ogy," the unperturbed inhabitants of
this strange little village on the same
Spoon river, have been touched with
life by the pen OF q newspaper writer.
Without telephones, automobiles,
railroads or any modern conveniences'
this town had gone on in Its undis-
turbed way for a hundred years,
sleeping quietly in a busy world, un-
til few days ago when 1t was dis
covered" by e. motion picture director
and the next morning awoke to fame
with a column of type in a Bloom
ington newspaper.
c.. L. Varnard looking about for a
| location to film q country town
scene, ran across the village. 1t has
no. railroads and half the inhabitants
claim never to have seen q train. 1t
has no picture shows, and Of course
had never seen q motion picture
camera; There are no telephones and
no electricity in the town. The old
village grist mill is still grinding away
every day with water from the same
spillway that supplied the mill cen i.
fury ago.
But now strange things are happen
ing in Bernadote, Big automobiles
whizz through the village. There Is
the unusual smell Of oil and gasoline.
The swirling dust from many pneuma-
tic tires distresses the bewildered in
habitants. Old ladies in calico dresses
no longer go their quiet way to the
village store and long whiskered old
men no longer calmly white the
hours away under the village trees.
Their nerves twitch and the day is no
longer calm.
The article describing the rustic
wonders of the superanuated village
has brought tourists from far and
wide.
About the town go unusual looking
men with cameras and stage appear
ances. They are the moving picture
people who are going to put Bernadote
in the films. Bernadote is sleep walk
ing. Some Of the oldest inhabitants
think its a nightmare.
Most of the folks Of the town are
farmers. A few of the oldest are con-
sidered to be retired. The others work
in the fields, harvesting crops from
the same ground their fathers ana
grandfathers titled.
There are two small wooden build
tnss in the village that serve as stores
where the simple wants of the people
are supplied. The houses are quaint
and old fashioned, of the old colonial
and English type. Picket fences sep
arate the yards. Old fashioned fiow-
cred gardens bloom in the dooryards.
