CARRIED 19 BILLION
MESSAGES LAST YEAR
Communications Sent Annually by
Telephone Would Require
100000 Messengers

Last year the American telephone
system carried nineteen billion COM
munications.
The total distance covered by these
nineteen billion messages was over
forty-fve billion miles. Assuming
that equally satisfactory results could
be obtained were these messages to
be carried by special messengers, it
is interesting to estimate the physi-
cal magnitude of the task involved.
Assuming that each messenger works
nine hours per day and averages ten
miles per hour, it would require 6,0OO,-
900 messengers and, at conservative
estimate, would cost ten billion dollars
to handle this business which the tele-
phone handles at cost of about $780,
100000 and with 100000 employees.
Forty-six years ago there was one
telephone in the world,-the instru-
ment which Bell invented. Today
there is in the United States one tele-
phone for every eight persons.
Forty-six years ago there were two
telephone employes,-Bell and his
assistant. Today there are 100000.
Forty-six years ago the worlds en-
tire telephone plant could have beer
held in one mans hand. Today, IL
this country alone, there are, among
other items, 14,OOO,OOO instruments
upwards of $1,000 central offices, ant
34,OOO,OOO miles of wire, the who'll
telephone plant showing book COS
of more than s2,OOO,OOO,OeO.

WONDERFUL WEATHER
Sundays Beauty Brought Out Nat
ure Lovers and Autoists

With the mercury on the old back
porch thermometer standing at 83 de.
grees on Sunday, Newark had a real
summer day and tn majority Of the
pople of the town took advantage
of the beautiful weather and get right
next to nature. All persons owning
automobiles must have been out from
the looks of the roads and there were
many hiking parties.
Natures artist got busy on Satur-
day and trees burst into bloom over
Saturday night and Sunday morning.
One of the things that attracted the
attention of many persons in this vic
Unity was the gathering Of trailing
arbutus. The hills near Newark have
an abundance of this beautiful little
over and many punches of it were
gathered. The Creek road was an
other favorite haunt for the nature
lovers.
Along the rivers and creeks many
devotees of water sports, canoeing
and boating, were out in force and
many others were seen getting their
craft in shape for the season.
Automobiles thronged all the high
ways and visited the surrounding
country, where plum trees in full
bloom, gave promise of large and
early yields of fruit.
The weather yesterday was like
midsummer. The thermometer at
s O'Clock registered 81 degrees and
rose steadily. At 1.30 it stood at 7s
and reached it's height at o'clock,
when s3 was recorded. From then
on it dropped slowly, registering 79 at
5 o'clock, but it was still warm at
midnight, when it read SO.

NINETEEN EGGS IN MARCH
GOOD RECORD FOR ANY HEN

No bonafide poultryman ever gets
excited over tales of hens that lay two
or even three eggs daily.
Even provided that the tale is not
child of somebody's fancy, the stunt
cannot last. 1t will be the old story
of the hare and the tortoise, and any
wise poultryman banks more on the
long g-distance event than on the
sprints.
If hen lays nineteen eggs in March
she is doing we'll, thinks w. H. Allen,
poultry specialist of the New Jersey
State Agricultural College, and if she
is going to make this record, she must
have special care.
He recommends especially that
plenty of oyster-shells and water be
supplied, that twelve to fourteen
pounds of mash per 100 birds be con.
sumed every day, and that the birds
be not let out until there is green
food for them to eat.
What is coming out Of the incuba.
tor these days is another question oi
vital Importance to every poultryman
Low matches, the specialist says, are
due to poor eggs that lack vitality
plus a machine that is not being rur
properly. To overcome the first diff
Guilty, poor eggs, here are a few
"do's" and "don'ts."
Give the breeders exercise and plen
ty of green feed. And give them milk
Collect Matching eggs often and hole
them at temperature Of so to 6(
degrees.
Do not incubate eggs which arr
more than ten days old.
Incubator laws must be obeyed
Operate the incubator in a cellar, pro
vide good fresh air but avoid draught
from windows and doors.
Operate according to the manufac
turers directions.
Figure five eggs in the incubato
now for every pullet to be put in tn
laying houses next fall.

Local Teachers
Brother Dead
Rev. Henry F. Reynolds, of
Detroit, Disappeared Last
November-Sister
Leaves

The body of Rev. Henry F. Rey-
nolds, pastor of Detroit, Mich, was
found in the Saginaw river at that
place on Sunday.
There has been much local inter
est in the disappearance of the pas
tor who left his home on Armistice
Day, November IL, to make an ad-
dress in Detroit. Shortly after max
ing this address the pastor disappear
ed and thorough search failed tO
reveal his whereabouts.
The local interest in the case re-
suited from the fact that the mans
sister, Miss Andasia Reynolds, is a
teacher in Newark Grammar School.
The local teacher was notified Monday
of the finding of the body and at once
left for Wilmington from where she
is expected to go to Detroit.
The Rev. Reynolds formerly lived
at Preston, Nd, where his mother still
lives with two sisters. The local
teacher and another sister, Sarah B.,
live in Wilmington.
Miss Sara B. Reynolds said Monday
that message was received Sunday
from a member of her brothers
church in Detroit saying that it was
rumored the body had been found, but
no authentic word had been received
by them to that effect.
The Rev. Mr.. Reynolds was 27 years
of age and unmarried. He is gradu
ate of the Cambridge Theological SEM
mary. The young minister saw ac-
tive service in France during the war
and also afterward served for time
with the army of occupation as a
sergeant in Germany.
After returning home Mr.. Reynolds
accepted his first charge with the
Church of the New Jerusalem,
Detroit, going there last September,
Mr.. Reynolds had been much effect
ed by his experiences and the sights
that he witnessed during the war.

tentative valuation for the property OF

ford at S3S2,797 ,066. This includes the
New Haven and its subsidiaries and the
value is as of June 80, 1915. The New
Haven Is one Of the first Glass / roads

Car Shortage Decreases.

As OF November Is there was de-
crease of 16,262 I'm the shortage OF
freight cars throughout the country as
compared with the previous week. De-
mand in excess Of current supply
amounted to 1926. compared with
174,49S the week before. The shortage
in box cars amounted to S2.523, de-
cline of 1921. while coal cars failed by
42,S27 to fill requirements of shippers. a
decrease of 2702. The shortage Of stock
cars was 1886, a decline Of 4,1S0. Re-
frigerator and coke cars more nearly
met demands. The situation has def
nitely improved compared with the pre-
vious month, when heavy freight load
ings were calling for record numbers OF
cars with which to handle traffic.

Easier Money Market.

The Government will withdraw S4,-

1t is not expected that the loan market

Now York Stock Exchange opened and
renewed yesterday morning at 4la per
cent. and later declined to 4 per cent.
In the time money market the demand
was more active. although borrowers dis
played reluctance to bid above Az per
cent. for any maturities. A few scat
tered loans were made at that figure
for thirty days. but per cent. was
demanded by bankers for loans of longer
maturities

TOPICS OF WALL STREET.
Republic iron and steel.

Neither John A. Topping, president Of
the Republic Iron and Steel Company.
nor banking interests identified with
that corporation would deny or confirm
yesterday that plans for new financing
were nearing completion in connection
with meeting capital requirements for
extensions and betterments. In more
than one quarter OF the financial dis
trict the belief prevails that the
abandonment of the Republic-Midvale-
Inland merger proposal and the ar
rangement of the Bethlehem Midvale
combination have closed to Republic the
possibility OF solving it's financial prob
lens through consolidation with other
companies, and that the sale of about
s1O.000.00o of bonds will be made by the
company at an early date. Kuhn. Loeb
& Co. are expected 70 handle the financ-
ing.

splitting Bond commissions.

Coincident with the agitation In cer-
tain quarters in Wall street fors split"
commissions on bonds. it is learned that
the San Francisco Stock Exchange al
ready has taken steps to that end TO
provide an incentive for non-members
to do business through the exchange.
The San Francisco Exchange has in
vited firms not members of the ex-
change to become associate members.
under which head they would split COM
missions fifty-fifty with members. In
this way the exchange hopes to attract
the business that is now being done
over the telephone. 1t is understood
that the proposal has been received
favorably by independent brokers ir
San Francisco.

Margin Accounts and the oils.

The advance in oil stocks yesterday
was termed as 'life saver" 10 large
number OF margin spectators by man
who keeps in close touch with what
commission house traders arc doing
lie made the point that almost every
margin account contains substantial
supply OF oil stocks. particularly the
lower priced ones. and the recent de-
cline in those stocks has been OF such
proportions as to make the position Of
many OF these accounts extremely deli.
cate. At the same time there Is large
sprinkling of railroad stocks in these
margin accounts. ana the drastic break
in that group only served to complicatc
the situation.

received loaded from connections. The
Chicago Northwestern reported load
inss. for the first twenty-five days OF
November at 1880 cars, against 107,s3s
last year In considering the figures of
the roads ii is pointed out that business
throughout the country last year was
suffering from depression but that the
movement in the late fall is normally
heavy so that fair comparison is pos
siblo. Several Western executives have
expressed confidence that the freight
movement will remain normal for the
