TELEPHONE GROWTH
LEADS POPULATION

Since the beginning Of the twentieth
century the population has increased As
per cent. The volume Of general bust.
ness has expanded 100 per cent while
the number Of telephones has increased
about 900 per cent.
At the end of 1921 there were over
13,380,000 owned and connected sta
tions in the Bell System, nearly two
thirds Of all the telephones in the
world. Practically any ono of these
telephones may be connected with any
other telephone in the system. During
1921, alone, the net gain in Bcll-owned
and Connecting Company telephones
was 778,284, and viewed from the
standpoint of the value of the service
to user, this means that from each tel
ephone connected with the system, it
was possible at the end Of 1921 to
reach over three-quarters Of million
more homes and places Of business than
at the beginning of the year.

TAFT SUGGESTED TO
SETTLE RUSSIAN
PAYMENT
United Press Le.sed wire

GENOA, May 2.-The Allies met to-
day for final ratification Of their note
to Russia.
With single reservation, on behalf
of Belgium, the members of the polit-
ical subcommission of the Genoa con-
ference agreed upon the terms Of their
memorandum to the soviet delegation.
Chief Justice Taft of the United
States supreme court is suggested as
the man to name the president of a
mixed tribunal to fix the amount Russia
must pay her creditors.
The other members OF the commits
sion will be a delegate of the soviet
government and representative Of
holders of Russian bonds.
The subcommission was expected to
complete ratification of its note this
afternoon. The memorandum, which is
considered more conciliatory in tone
and more acceptable to Russia than
was expected, probably will be handed
to the soviet delegation tomorrow.
Two or three days is allowed for the
Russians to reply. If the Russians
turn down flatly the allied proposals,
immediate breakup of the conference
may follow.

FOOLS PARADISE" TODAY

''FOOL'S 8 PARADISE TODAY
That the art Of Cecil B. De Mile,
famous Paramount producer, is still in
process of expansion, was demonstrat-
cd with signal force when his latest
production, "Fool's Paradise" was
displayed at the Palace theater this
afternoon. This is a magnificent pic.
ture and it may be maintained that it
is one of the best he has thus far pre-
sented to an admiring motion picture
public.
The theme, as suggested by "The
Laurels and the Lady, is one of alb.
sorbing appeal while the production in
point of direction, setting and acting is
far above the average motion picture.
The story deals with the love of an
American soldier for a French dancer
who later meets an American girl in a
Mexican cantina whose love he spurns.
Through blindness which later comes to
him because of silly act on the part
of the latter girl, he marries her in
the belief that she is the French girl.
Dorothy Dalton plays the American
dancer.
