Although Administration forces

Second, that 1t viii cost the
American people hundreds of mil

Third, that once ratified, all the

This settlement places the bur.

last two decades, Mr.. Earle declared.
Citing 1901 statistics Of the United
States Bureau of Fisheries, he as
serted that in that year 2,797,233
pounds of shad valued at $119,366
were taken from the Potomac river.
In 1925 the Potomac yield had
dwindled to 696.632 pounds of the
fish at value of $163,398.
Pointing out that cooperation be-
tween Maryland and Virginia is
necessary for effective protection,
Mr.. Earle said that the entrance to
the bay is in Virginia and that all
fish seeking spawning grounds in the
upper part of the Chesapeake must
swim sixty-five miles before reaching
Maryland waters. While swimming
this distance they must run the
gauntlet of more than 5000 nets in
the Virginia waters, he said.
st has been urged upon our sister
State that regulatory measures be
placed on the nets" he continued,
lin order that the shad may have
chance in the bay, and Maryland has
agreed to set aside spawning areas
where the fish will be protected.
"The Conservation Department
maintains \shad hatchery on the
Eastern Shore of Maryland that
turned out last year 100000 shad,
100000 of which were held in boxes
until they attained the size of two
inches, when they were liberated.
1t is the expectation of the depart
ment in 1927 to turn out 100000
shad.
1.-THE United States Bureau of
Fisheries maintains shad hatchery
at Bryant's Point on the Maryland
side of the Potomac river, opposite
Mount Vernon, and this hatchery is
doing much in the artificial propa-
cation of shad.
"The Bureau of Fisheries comes in
for praise for it's work in transport
ing shad, DIS early as 1871, from the
Hudson river to the Sacramento
river, California. This was follow
i ed by other deposits in 1873 and
1880. From these small paintings
shad have multiplied and distributed
themselves along 5000 miles of
coast, from Southern California to
Northeastern Alaska.
Just a year ago California
shipped to the Atlantic Coast ap-
proximately 100000 pounds of
shad in refrigerator cars and they
were solemnly sold as the great and
rare delicacy of the Atlantic waters"

u. S. UNDISPUTED
LEADER IN TELE-
PHONE PROGRESS

The fiftieth anniversary of the in.
vention of the telephone finds the
United States still undisputed leader
of the worlds telephone progress. We
have in this country e. per cent of
all the telephones in the world, or
one telephone for every seven people.
With ten times as many telephones in
proportion to population as the rest
of the world, and with 191 telephone
conversations per person in a single
year, the United States maintains her
telephone leadership which began half
a century ago when Alexander Ora
ham Bell made his great invention in
Boston garrett
New evidence Of Americas pre-emi
ence in the telephone field is afforded
by compilation of telephone Stats
tics of the world which has just been
published. The task of obtaining &C.
curate information from remote coun-
tries has taken many months, and the
figures therefore reflect conditions as
of January 1, 1925.
On that date there were 26,038,50S
telephones in use throughout the
world. Of these, 16,072,75S, or over
three-f1fths, were in the United States.
Europe had four times as many peo-
pie as the United States, but less than
half as many telephones. The $685.
365 instruments in Europe constituted
only 26 per cent of the worlds total
telephones. The remaining IL per cent
were scattered through all the other
countries and continents outside Of the
United States and Europe. New York
State alone had nearly as many tele-
phones as Germany and more than the
whole of any other foreign country.
Our American telephone system also
showed greater net annual growth
than the telephone systems of all the
other countries in the world put to-
gether. The increase In number of
telephones in the United States during
1924 was SS9,4O7, while in all for
eign countries combined it was only
150,263.
Not only in total telephones and in
telephone growth, but also in number
of telephones per 100 population, the
United States was easily first. We
had 14.2 telephones for every 100 peo-
pie in this country; Canada had 11.6,
Denmark 80, New Zealand 81, Sweden
So, and Norway 81. In Germany
there were but S.9 telephones per 100
inhabitants, in Great Britain and

The radio transmission from Rocky
Point is on wave length of $500
meters and the transmission from
Rugby is on wave length of 5,770
meters. The power used in transmit
ting from each end is about 100 kilo-
watts. Due to special system en-
ployed in these tests, an output to the
transmitting antenna Of 100 kilowatts
is as efficient as 800 kilowatts would
be under the system commonly used
for radio telephone purposes.
The present series of tests is con-
tinuation of the experiments begun
three years ago and is being carried
out to determine Che possibilities of
giving regular transatlantic telephone
service. 1t is simply phase of the
study of the problem of overcoming
the great difficulty in long distance
radio telephone transmission-the ex-
treme variations in received signals
due to continuously changing condi-
lions in the intervening space. e>
At times, transmission conditions in
America, in England and throughout
the area that separates them are so
good that even comparatively low
power broadcasting stations in one
country can be picked up by radio lis
teners in the other. At other times,
conditions are so poor that no recep-
tion can be had.
In their statements to the press, tele-
phone officials of both countries have
made clear that it is not possible to
predict how soon transoceanic tele.
phone service can be made available.

tensive work remains to be done be.

The difference in time, phraseology,
pronunciation and wave lengths
played an important part in the recent
transatlantic radio telephone tests.

differences Of phraseology and pro-
nunciation added interest to the con-
versations from the standpoint of the
