In addition, the Coast Guard is re-
sponsible for many similar duties on
the Pacific coast, and approximately
half the globe is patrolled by her
ships each day. from the Arctic Seas
on the north near Point Barrow,
Alaska. TO the warm waters of the
West Indies, and from the I4esbian
Islands in the mfdpacitic to the high
seas Of the turbulent Atlantic.
The particular work of the ice pa
troll has been all that might have
been hoped for, since not a life has
been lost through bergs in the IA
years Of this international service,
which was originally started by two
Navy cruisers, the L.. s. s. BiTmin1-
ham and the l.. s. s, Chester, in the
Winter Of 1912. Subsequent TO the
signing of the pact between the sew
cral nations, the President directed
that the Revenue Service undertake

BIG GAS USERS
Eighty State Newspapers Con. sume Large Portion of Pro
 duction in Composition

Newspaper printing plants have been found to be one of the largest users of manufactured gas in Con necticut cities. Although gas is real ly just coming into it's own as q fuel for industrial and house heating. 1t has been used for many years for practi- cally an of the heating processes which are needed in the printing of newspapers At the present timc Connectieut's eighty-odd newspapers consume good sized portion of the states annual output of more than eight and half billion cubic feet of gas.
 Both the linotype and monotyype machines are dependent upon the use of gas heat. Every printing machine is equipped with a gas burner con- nected to the main supply. This burn CT keeps continuous flame under meath reservoir which contains the composition type metal. In this way, the metal is kept in molten state all of the time that the machine is in use. After the metal has been made into type and used in the printing of the paper. it is cleaned and again returned to the reservoir where it is again melt cd by gas heat.
 Another important use of gas in the newspaper plant is made in the stereo- typing department where the full pag- es are east into single block of me tal. An impression of the original type. locked into page forms. is taken under pressure upon cardboard com position matrix. previously dried by gas heat. Metal kept in a molten state in large gas heated furnace is pour cd upon the matrix in a semi-cylindri- cal mold. When the metal has hard ened the entire page is removed in a single piece ready to be elamped upon the cylinder press

Does Telephone GroOth AluUays Mean Higher Rates?

IT well known that the number of telephones increases substantially each year. This fact fairly prompts the ques- ton stated above.
 It is true that the addition of each telephone subscriber builds up the multiplicity of connections which must be avail able to all and thus tends the cost of plant and operation per telephone A switchboard serving only six subscribers nes for example, requires provision for fifteen possible ntcr.connectons but when the number of lines grows coco, then the inerconnections which must be available to all increase in the proportion but to the stupendous total of 0O0 for every subscriber must be able both 10 reach and be reached by every other scrbcr.
 0setag his unique characteristic of the telephone busi ness however the eyereonnuins developments oi the a and the opportunities for improved practices and econo mics all business engaged in what may be termed wholesale productions The which have realized upon these possibilities is evidenced by the fact that for quarter of century prior the World War rate history is that of substantial reductions.
 But for the past ten years the telephone growth has not only built up the of plant and operation per subscriber as must always be the case, but has also been attended with higher costs per unit due the decreased value of the dollar II i. this double burden which has brought about the present exigcncy.
 In word, therefore telephone growth oi lisei does not necessarily higher During long period of stable prices telephone reduced. Under the tyl price conditions of hc past decade telephone rates have advanced much les than tc cost Of commodities. Nothing more clearly define our policy than t record But at all
 time. We must maintain that will provide for adequate service to the public and far return the property a the Company The present rates insufficient to meet tLe.e re,Tlircments.

WILEY PROPERTY PURCHASED

West Nottingham Academy has
recently purchased from Mrs. Mar
garet Wiley the property which for
many years has been her home. II
Is bounded by land owned by the
Academy, and is just across the
road from the Old Academy.
During the period when Prof.
George K. Bechtel and Prof. John
G. Conner were principals of the
Academy and before a boarding
school was conducted under the
direct supervision of the admins
tration, Miss Margaret Porter kept a
boarding house for the boys Of the
Academy. 1t is still known by DIR.
John B. Deaver and the other men
who were boys here with him, as
the Margaret Porter House.
1t will be opened first in June for
the Alumni who may return for the
Commencement Reunion.
During the summer necessary
changes to transform it from a
dwelling to a dormitory will be
made. And it will be opened in
September, 1927, as dormitory for
Junior Boys, some of whom have
already made application.
1t is good for the Academy that
this property was offered for sale
just at this time when the school
was faced with the probelm of what
to do with the additional boys that
are expected next year. The rooms
now available for boys are all
occupied. The Wiley Cottage will
make an ideal Home for the Junior
Boys and will relieve the congestion
until large and modern school
building can be erected.
