New England Very Fond of
 Reading Daily Newspapers

Eugene, Oregon, May 16.-New York. New Jersey and the New Eng land states are first in the United States in the percentage of newspaper readers, with the Pacific Coast states first in magazine reading and second in newspaper reading, Prof. George S. Turnbull of the University of Oregon here, has declared after a study of statistics.

Trunk Cables Between Paris, Stra- bour and Hayre Now Under Con-

Paris, May 16.-Long distance telephoning between Paris and other European capitals, which with the exception Of London and Brussels, is practically non-eXistcnt, as well as the service between Paris and the great provincial cities of France, which today is just little faster than the mails. will be greatly inn proved when the program now in course of realization by the French government is carried out.
 Trunk cables, containing between 110 and 220 wires each, are now complete between Paris and stras- bourg and Paris and Havre.
 Bids for similar cables between Paris-Lyons, Paris-Lille, Paris-Mar- seilles and Paris-London have been called for and the government in tends to begin work on them before the end of the year.
 Americans. accustomed to obtain telephone communications between New York and Chicago in about as short a time as it takes the average Parisian to call up the grocer have little idea of the patience required to get distant French city on the wire from Paris.

LEAGUE OF NATIONS TO PROTECT INVENTORS
American Patent Law Association Showing Keen Interest in
 Constructive Move

Geneva. May l6.-Supplcmenting the increasing collaboration of the United States government with the sentative American institutions con- tinue to extend their cooperation with the organization.
 1 The American Patent Law Associa- tion is showing keen interest in a ] league project to afford adequate pro- lection 10 the discoveries of scientists and inventors. and will send several representatives here this summer to take part in a preliminary meeting of experts which will discuss some defi- nite measure of protection.
 The matter came before the League of Nations in the form of a project elaborated by Senator Ruffini of Italy. The league assembly voted that the Ruffini project, which has the form of draft convention, be distributed to all governments for their opinion. It seems likely that American lawyers will take a leading part in this league undertaking just as they will in an- other league plan to form an interna- Nipiiul dsSotldlloll lb Co-uTullldle NOTlO efforts in furnishing legal assistance to the poor.
 American lawyers are active also in another league project for the print ing and distribution of tho treaties which are registered with the league secrctariat, Last year the American Society of international Law sub seribed slo,O00 to the purchase of tho treaty series, IL has renewed it's subscription this year and will dis tribute some 500 sets to libraries and law associations the world over. This league undertaking is regarded as an important step in the desired eodih- cation Of international law.

ID BURY BUGABOOS
 AT THE CONVENTION
To Erase Fear Of "Tamlnany
 Hall" and Wall Street" x

New York, May l6.-When the National Democratic Convention shall have named it's president ticket in Madison Square Garden and adjourn ed, observers predict it also will have buried two political bugaboos that have kept national political conven- tions from New York for 56 years.
 They are "Tammany Hall" and Wall Street" What" ran the old fears, hold national convent 5n where our delegates would be exposed 10 the sinister wiles of Tammany ? Invite them to enter the sphere of the influence of Wall Street? Never; any place but New York"
 Those who went from this city to Washington to hid for the convention this year met and, to their surprise, overcame those objections. Now Tam many and Wall Street feel it their duty to demonstrate to expected Nisi- tors that they never were as bad as they were painted.
 Tammany points to her picturesque and patriotic origin, admits she sowed a few wild oats in the Boss Tweed" days of the last century. and claims she now has become a scdate and law abiding political and welfare organiz- alton.
 The name "Tamanend" (the Afr sble), and the ritual were taken from the Delaware Indians by a group of Wings who, in i7S9, organized for so- cial and charitable work, to fight for state rights as opposed to federalism, and 10 counteract the revolutionary war officers order Of the Society of the Cincinnati" which was headed by George Washington. Though they sometimes were called Sons of St. Tammany' or '"rhe Columbian Or der" they always designated their headquarters as wiGwams and their members as grand sachoms, saga mores, winskinskies and braves.
 Gradually the organization obtained political power. Then, in 1S42, began the series of gang demonstrations which. eliminating in 1870 in exposure of the huge graft ring of tho Grand Sachem, William Marcy Tweed, welded to Tammany the stigma cor rupt."
 Two generations have entered tho game of politics since then, Tammany claims 10 have kept pace with the puriflcation process the game has un- dergone. She still has her thousands of members, her lS tepees and her big wiewam on Fourteenth Street. the one dedicated during the last national party convention her in 1868. She still helps the destitute, and plays politics.
 Wall street holds that she. too, has been maligned by tradition. She will show them, first Of ali that Wall Street. as generally applied, is just 2 short, crooked lane flanked by ordi- nary business structures. a lane with tho East River al ono end and historic Trinity Church at the other. where the pioneers of America commerce hung out their shingles, and whore their sons carry on.
 She will demonstrate 10 the visitors that big finaca isn't centered in Wall street, that all lower Manhattan. all New York, in fact, Is the home of big

5000, 1000 Canadian Acres
 Signed Up by Wheat Pools

Winnipeg, Man, May 16-More than S,00o,000 acres of wheat land in western Canada will be signed up un- der contract to wheat pools this year, according to officials of the organiza- tions in the three prairie provinces.
 In Alberta, directors of the provin- eial wheat pool report that between 5000 and 1000 acres are being add ed daily to the contract acreage and they expect three or four million acres to be signed.
 The Alberta area under contract 10 the wheat pool last year was 2,400,- GOO acres. Organization activities in Saskatchewan are expected to in crease acreage 25 per cent. Eight hundred canyassers are busy in Mani toba province, who have an objective of 100000 acres this year.

 Managers of the convention, as well as local financiers, intend to let each delegate see for himself so that he may return to his native heath and lay low the Wicked Wall Street" fan tasy.

First u. S. Currency
Easily Counferfeifed

So easily counterfeited were the FIRST
lots OF paper money issued by the
United States government in the sixties
that spurious bills flooded the country.
and countless astute business men
were victlmized. Finally, to balk the
criminals, book called "Heath's In.
fallible Government Counterfeit De-
tector at Sight" was published in 1870.
In those old days money was printed
on ordinary paper, which counterfeit.
ers could easily obtain or initiate and,
consequently, such book as "Heath's
Detector," which concentrated on the
designs on the bills, was needed. Now,
however, a special brand of paper with
special water marks, whorls and EN-.
bedded tiny silk threads, is used. This
paper cannot be initiated by the coun.
terfeiter and such book MS the "Detec.
tor" is not now needed.
The book, published by Laban Heath
d Co. Of Boston and Washington,
claimed to be "the only infallible
method" of detecting counterfeit notes
and bonds with genuine designs
(Which were mutilated) from original
government plates by authority from
the United States Treasury department
and the American, National and CONT
mental Bank Note companies, New
York and Boston."-Detroit News
