Beasts as Baggage

r. L. Ditmars tells an amusing story
of shepherding wild animals from San
Francisco to New York. Among them
were pythons, pygmy water buffalo
and two orang-outangs. Mr. Dit.
mars was kept busy protecting the
apes from changes in temperature
The larger orang had sunny ware
house room, but shivered at night be
ing given an army blanket, he soon
learned to wrap up in it. The smaller
orang lived in his masters room at
the hotel, upon reluctant permission
from the management" BY the kind
cooperation of the railroad all these
specimens were transported on the
Overland Limited as baggage; four
days travel brought them safely to
their new home.

Now he had turned the corner, and

one day he tried to thank her.
Mary, I shall never forget it" he
told her. 'Your sweetness TO me
through this trying time shall always
be like a golden corner in my memory
Why did you do it?"
He paused dramatically, hoping to
hear a whispered confession of her
love being the great motive. Instead
she replied. calmly: well, Henry.

DISCOURAGE IDEA OF WALKING ON THE LEFT
State Motor Vehicle Dept, Disap- proves of Proposed Highway
 Regulations

Hartford, March 6.--The idea of law to compel pedestrians to walk on the left hand side of highways, approaching traffic, where there are no sidewalks, is discouraged in a pamphlet issued by the state motor vehicle department, which declares that the rule for direction of pedes- trians ought 10 be to let him eX- ercise his own common sense and walk where he thinks he is safest" There are now comparatively few in- jrries to pedestrians on highways, the department says. It is pointed out that pedestrian traffic is now regulated in the conEester portion of most cities and that the injuries and accidents which happen arc most frequently in outlying streets where such regulation is lacking.
 Attention is directed in the de- partment's statement 10 the need of sidewalks in sections of the state where factory workers are obliged to use highways to and from work. But the department also urges "con- tinued education of pedestrians tO exercise their share Of precautions to avoid accidents" and general en- forcement Of the law requiring all vehicles to be lighted after dark" this being construed to include bi- cycles as well as horse drawn ve- hicles.

TESTS TONIGHT
 OF AERIAL GUNS
All Day War Dept. Is Demon stratins Anti-Air Craft Weapons

Fortress Monroe, Va. March G. Post war anti-alrcraft guns were matched today in a test with air. craft to demonstrate before doubt lul legislators and other Washing ton officials their worth against en- emy air bombers. The test was ar ranged by Secretary Weeks and was designed to help in the determina- ton of the question of relative value of land guns and aircraft as defen- slye weapons against air invaders in war time.
 Only one side of the question, however was to be emphasized. That was what progress had been made since 1918 in developing gun fire efficiency against ralding air craft. In the test today the guns were supplied with shrapnel charges while the aeroplanes were allotted the task of target towing and not permitted to bomb or return the fire of the gunners.
 The program for the official yisi- tors also included trip to Langley Field to inspect various types of, aircraft and witness exhibitions of formation flying. gliding target demonstrations, smoke screen lay ing, parachute flare stunts with bombing and gunnery exhibitions.
 A batter of four thrce-inch guns from Fort Monroe was sent to Grand View for the anti-aircraft fire test. Although the guns were developed after the war they did not represent the latest type-a weapon with an average rate of 20 shots a minute, a vertical range of 25,0OO feet. a horizontal range of 12.700 yards and equipped with the most modern sighting and fire control devices.
 "The newer model guns" an of ficial statement on the tests said, twill be able to maintain a rate of at least 20 shots per minute. The danger zone surrounding one of these guns is at present space contained within surface which is approximately a hemisphere having an altitude of 24,000 feet and base of about 45,000 feet. or something over eight miles. An airpIane fly ing at rate of 80 miles an hour passing through the center of this zone at an altitude of 10000 feet would be under effective fire for about six minutes, during which the battery would Dc able to fire from 2S0 10 500 shots.' Tonight test of the effectiveness Of ground guns against night enemy air attacks was to feature the pro- gram. Powerful searchlights. throw ing a beam Of light 19.000 feet up wards, will be aided in finding the targets by sound ranging instru- mcnts registering directions and the Illuminating effect of star shells. ! In both tho day and night fire tests part also was assigned to- tho servicc machine guns and the anti aircraft machine guns, having vertical range of 15.000 feet and Horizontal range Of 27,000 feet and firing solid shots at B rate of 45o minute. --- -...

NEW FACILITIES
PROVIDE EXTRA
RAPID SERVICE
High Percentage OF Connections On
New York-chlcago Calls Made
In Five Minutes.

There have recently been estab,
Gsbed In connection with the New
York-Chioago Long Distance service
an operating method and additional
circuit facilities which permit of Civ
ng very fast service. Over a period
ot three months the service records
show that 76 per cent. of the calls
from New York to Chicago are con-
nected, or a report given that the
called party is not available to talk in
we minutes or less, and only per
-ent took more than ten minutes.
Plans are being perfected for the in
reduction Of a similar service from
New York to various other far distant
points, such as Detroit, Cleveland and
It. Louis.
The Bell System has also from time
o time inaugurated a still faster and
more convenient method for handling
;alls between points separated by 100
niles or less. This method is called
ne "two-number" method and is used
}nly to handle calls on which the
caHing subscriber knows the called
telephone number and gives it to the
operator who answers number
please" The calling subscriber then
lolds the line until the connection is
established or report given to him
~ the operator. This method is not
lsed to handle calls for a particular
person, known as Person-tO-P Person
'alls. This operating method will
'oon be established between New
York and Bridgeport, New Haven and
Norwalk, Conn, and New York and
Trenton, N. ].
Additional toll circuits are constant
y being added between points now
oaving direct circuits and new circuits
re being established between points
vhich have not heretofore had direct
iTcuit com mmunicatiOn.

IMCEAslNG GROWTH
OF The BELL SYSTEM

The evolution OF the telephone is
Ut the further development of an art
which began when man first found it
ecessary to send messages to his
ellows-an art filled with drama and
omance which has played an I'M
lOrtant part in human history.
From two telephones, sixteen mil
.on; from wire running between
wo rooms. a network of forty-six mil
ion miles of wire spanning the con-
;nent; from an experiment, nation
vide seryice-such is the history of
America's most widespread public
tility
Yet in the evolution of the Bell
ystem there has been no miracle
Xcept that Of unceasing growth Its
Aanpower, its mechanical equipment
nd its financial structure have been
uilt, little by little and with infinite
are, to meet ever-increasing demands.
Because this far-fung system serves
he needs of growing nation its
rrowth, in all Of its many phases, must
nd will continue.
