HELPS SELL
GEORGIA'S PEACH CROP

In marketing the Georgia peach
crop, the telephone plays an important
part.
Unlike cotton and other staple crops
which can be harvested and stored
until conditions for selling are favor
able, peaches, when they ripen, must
be picked, packed, loaded and started
on their journey to the market all the
same day. There must be no delay
Tor, despite the fact that the fruit is
shipped in ice cold refrigerator cars,
1t will keep for only limited time,
A large percentage of the cars, In fact,
are not sold nor even definitely con-
signed when they leave, but to save
time they are started on their way
and diverted while in transit to the
points where it is found they can be
used to the best advantage.
Here is where the telephone be-
comes a vital factor For it is by usa
of the telephone that markets are
located and the fruit properly dis
tributed.

DEMONSTRATES TELE-
PHOTO PROCESS IN dag
NOSIS OF HEARTBEATS

Fifteen hundred physicians from all
parts of the country, attending the
annual session of the American Med
aeal Association, were present at a
dong distance clinic on the Steel Pier,
Atlantic City, N. j., recently. Two
photographs of heartbeats which had
been sent to Chicago by the new tele-
photo process for diagnosis, were
shown on screen while the gathering
listened to a Chicago physicians

Aall
1t was announced as the first event
OF its kind in history, and as bearing
great possibilities for development in
the quick diagnosis of cases when the
dtagnostic specialist is many miles
away from the patient.
One Of the photographs represented
che heartbeat Of a patient who was
examined with a stethescope at At
santic City in the morning. BY means
of a new apparatus developed by Dr..
II. B. Williams, Of Columbia Uni
versity and the Bell Telephone Labora-
tories, 'stethogram" or chart of his
heartbeat was produced at Atlantic
City. This was mailed to the Amer
3can Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany's office in New York City, whence
1t was communicated TO Chicago by
the new method of sending pictures by
wire.
Dr. James r. Greer, of Chicago,
made the diagnosis in the afternoon.
Shortly after 6 o'clock, after the
stethogram had been thrown on the
acreen at Atlantic City, Dr. Samuel w.
lambert, the New York heart special.
list, called up Dr. Greer from a tele-
phone in the hall. Although sep
arated by 1000 miles, the two physi-
CLANS and the patient and the physi-
clans attending the clinic were virtual
ly brought together by the long dis
tance telephone wires.
The stethogram was discussed at
length by Drs. Lambert and Greer.
DIR. Greer gave his diagnosis as irreg-
uIcll llS " every OlitI btHl, " lLu Ddu
prognosis, unless the irregularity was
caused by the use of "details
The two physicians also conferred
about a stethogram showing a svstolic

sent by the telephoto process to Chi
cago earlier in the week. In this case
Or. Greer's diagnosis had been written
out, photographed and sent back to
New York by telephoto process and it
was thrown on the screen along with
the stethogram. DIR. Lambert agreed
with DR.. Greer's diagnosis in each
case
1t was explained that 1t had taken
only seven minutes to send each
stethogram from New York to Chi
cago. The audience appeared much
impressed by the demonstration and
applauded it vigorously. - From

Tagging of Whales
Method to Reveal
HUl1rlts and Habits
Correspondence Of the Associ a ted Press

PORTSMOUTH, England, June l.
An expedition which is to tag whales
with identity disks and take other
steps to discover more about their
haunts and habits will set out from
this port next month for the antarctic
regions, to remain for many months
while engaged in research work. The
scientists hope to determine, among
many other things, whether whales
are polygamous, their birth rate, how
long they lives, how far and where
they travel, and what floating organ
isms constitute their food.
To learn whether whales breeding
in African waters migrate to south
ern seas TO feed. small darts bearing
metal labels will be fired from spe-
cially designed crossbow into the
thick layer Of blubber on the back.
These tags are all numbered, and a
record of each one shot into d whale
will be carefully kept. In the event
that any of these disks are subse-
quently found by whalers or other
persons. ii is hoped that the expedi-
ton leaders will be communicated
with, as each label contains request
as To where the whale was caught
and under what conditions.
The expedition will probably make
its base at the Falkland Islands. 1t
is under the auspices of the colonial
Office. and its task is designated to aid
the whaling industry.
Capt. Scott's old ship. the Discov-
cry. will be used by the scientists, and
Lieut.. J. r. Stenhouse. who has had
much experience in chasing whales,
will be the vessels master.

Following representations made by
the state of Pennsylvania, the United
States Supreme Court has been asked
to enter a decree requiring the state
of New Jersey to carry out its agree
ment in reference to the completion
of the Delaware bridge between Cam
den and Philadelphia. The Pennsyl-
vania Department of Justice has serv-
ed bill of complaint upon Governor
Silzer, Attorney General Katzenbach
and the New Jersey members of the
Bridge Commission enjoining the state
and its representative from employ
ing any money now available for COM
pletion of the bridge for other pur-
poses. The bill holds that the legis-
lation passed by both states for the
construction of the bridge and to
which Congress consented is silent as
to the terms on which the bridge
shall be maintained and operated.
New Jersey has always maintained
that the bridge was to be a toll bridge
until the bonds which built the same

Robbery Committed Early
Last Friday Evening.

Diamond rings and other valuable
pieces of jewelry were stolen from
the home of Mrs. William P. Ahearn

turning about 9 p. m. found her home
completely upset, with the contents
of the bureau drawers on the floors
and beds.
Only two weeks ago neighbors of
Mrs. Ahearn say they saw a strange
man going into the home when they
knew that she was out. They fol-
lowed into the house and found him
hiding alongside the ice box in the
kitchen. He escaped before an alarm
of any sort could be given and no
more attention was paid to his visit.
The police have received descrip-
tion of the intruder.

Death of "Coytesville

Book Mystery Story

What looked like big news story
was found on the reporters desk one
morning this past week. 1t was a
clipping telling of a Coytesville man
found dead below the Palisades. The
paper was little too shiny for news
print and the width of the column
too generous, however, to pass as a
newspaper clipping.
Investigating, the writer found that
his wife in playful mood had clipped
a part of mystery story from Red
Book thriller and left it to startle his
tired brain.
The clipping follows in part:
"FoUND DEAD BELOW PALISADES
Frank Mantell, dealer in clocks
and watches on lower Broadway, was
found dead this morning on some
rocks at the foot of the Palisades,
just below Coytesville, N. j., where
he lived. His sister-in-law, Mrs. Fanny
Mantell, declares that Frank had not
an enemy in the world. She thinks
the tragedy was accidental, etc."
