PHONE Development
BOOSTED IN ENGLAND
Associa ation Is Formed to Promote
Usage Throughout the
Country.
Correspondence of Tn. Star and New York

Correspondence Of The Star and New York
World.
LONDON, November 5.-The forma-
ton is announced OF the Telephone
Development Association, the object
of which Is to remedy the backward
ness of the country in the matter of
telephone development and wage. It
is composed at present mainly of
manufacturers interested in the tele-
phone industry. Its only customer is
the state, but 1t realizes that in the
end the public at large is its real clients,
and 1t has decided on direct appeal
TO them on the twofold ground of its
own interests as manufacturers and
of the general public convenience. 1t
has Instituted fund for this purpose
and is making no appeal to the public.
Explaining the objects of the asso
citation, Sir Alexander Roger, the
chairman, said II had been launched
by British manufacturers who were
interested, directly or indirectly, in
the telephone industry. They hoped
it would speedily develop into a rec
ognized central body, dealing with all
questions affecting the industry in
relation to the requirements of users
It was universally agreed that rapid
communications of all kinds were an
index of national progress, and from
that point of view II was unsatisfac
tory that Great Britain should not be
leading the way in telephone usage.
While the British postal and tele-
graph service was admittedly the
best in the world, the nation is behind
in the use of the telephone. There
were only 2I telephones for every
l, 900 inhabitants, as compared with So
in Norway, SO in Denmark and lib in
the United States.
1t seemed desirable that, whatever
the underlying cause might be, the
industry as a whole should do every
thing possible to remove that distinct
handicap on national efficiency. 1t
aims to make the telephone occupy it's
rightful place both as an ally to busi-
ness and as an indispensable social
and domestic service. BY means of
newspaper advertising and other
methods, 1t intends to throw a search
light on the many uses and amenities
of the telephone auxiliary service, SO
that all might see and appreciate
them at a fuller value, 1t expects to
help to create employment in at least
three distinct directions-in the
manufacture, in the maintenance and
in the administration of more tele-
phones throughout the country. Its
general aim should be to make the
telephone as much a part Of every
office, home and street as the main
water supply.

Potatoes to be
Plentiful This Fall

Madison, Wis.-Potatoes will be plen-
tiful in Wisconsin this winter, if the
latest estimates on production by the
U. S. Department of Agriculture are
an indication. The federal department
estimates that the states potato crop
will be eight per cent larger than last
year, showing an increase of more
than 100000 bushels.
The production for 1924 is estimat-
ed at 2S,125,O00 bushels, compared with
900 bushels last year. This is
in the face of decrease in acreage
estimated at $4,000 acres. The acre
age for this year is said to be 100000
compared with 272.000 last year. The
total production this year is expect
ed to approach the five year average
of S1,427,000.
The potato crop in the nation, on
the other hand, shows prospective
decrease in production for all states,
of three per cent, the federal depart
ment reports. The production for all
states is placed at 398,921 900 bushels,
compared with 1899, 900 last year.
The acreage for the nation remains at
approximately the same as last year.

List of Candidates
Still Wide Open

Madison, Wis.-The list of candi-
dates for president OF the University
of Wisconsin to succeed E. A. Birge,
is still wide open and it is expected
that probably fifty candidates will be
considered before definite recommen-
dation is made to the university re-
gents by the presidential committee,
according to a member of the latter
group here today.
Although it was reported that a list
of more than score of suggested can
didates has been reduced to less than
a dozen, at the initial committee meet
ing two weeks ago, members say that
none of the candidates were finally
eliminated and that they may be re-
considered at any time. It is also
learned that John Callahan, secretary
of the committee. is carrying ont ex-
tepsive correspondence with number
of possibilities and making further in
vestigations in behalf of the commit
tee of other educators.
Another meeting of the presidential
committee is expected to be held some
time this month, it is said.
