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 81 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 hei
telephone leadership which began hall
a century ago when Alexander Ora
ham Bell made his great invention il.
a Boston garrett.
New evidence of Americas pre-eml
ence in the telephone field is afforded
by a compilation OF telephone stats
tics of the world which tls just been
published. The task of obtaining &C
curate information rom remote coun-
tries has taken many months, aud the
figures therefore rehect conditions a.
of January 1, 1925.
On that date there were 26.O3S,505
telephones in use throu hout the
wo:ld. OF these, 16,072,75S, or over
three.fifths, 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 $500
1856 Instruments in Europe constituted
only 26 per cent vi 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 ncarly as many tele-
phones as Germany and more than the
whole of any other foreign country
Our American telephone system also
showed a greater net annual growth
than the telephone systems Of all the
other countries in the world put to-

Unique Church Touer

In the tower Of st. Botolph's church,
Boston, Lincolnshire, England, are
365 steps, corresponding to the days
in the year; the church has II pill
lars, 90 windows and doors, repre-
senting the months, weeks, and days
in week. In the porch, at the west
end of the church, are "a steps (as-
cending to the library above), repre-
senting the hours of the day. Again,
on each side of the choir there are
go steps, leading to the roof, denoting
on the one side the minutes, and on
the other side the seconds of the hour.
Whether the four stories in the tower
may have been intended to represent
the quarters of the year is an open
question.
