politan Book Co.
JUST as hosts Of readers have learned
TO expect from Irwin Cobb. just so
in this group Of short stories does he
live up to the mark set by him and for
him. The romance OF every day, that

world, provides the literary stock in

Therefore. in his stories there are no

down on the solid earth, walks about

Subscribers In Many Foreign Countries

Washington now has more tele'
phones than many entire countries. &C

Gals of the telephone company. With
5000 telephones. % for each 100 peo-
pie. this city has more phones than
Brazil, Mexico. Spain. Poland, Peru
or Greece. the report says.
Because of the time taken to secure
reports from more distant countries
the data given out by the company
are based on figures of January I.
1926. On that date the United States
had more than half the phones of the
world. 16.935.918 out of 27.7S3,963. Eu.
rope had 7.479.6 phones. or q per

as compared to Is per 100 in Europe
CANADA has 1872 per 100, Denmark and
New Zealand. 90: Sweden, 7.2: Nor
way, 60. and Australia. 81. Germany
ranks next to the United States in
the actual number of phones, having
2.588,01 but only Al per 100 popula-
ton.
In South America Argentina led in
development during the year. but the
development in South America was
only one-third of that in Europe.
which in turn was one-tenth that of
the United States.
The report shows widespread use
Of the telephone in rural communities
in the United States. while in Europe
the rural development is almost neg
ligible. At the same time American
cities are more highly developed in
this way than European cities. New
York has nearly four times as many
phones per 100 population as London.
three times as many as Paris and
twice as many 8 Berlin.

High Mark in Arnold Career

One Of the high spots in the career
Of Benedict Arnold came at the sec
ond battle Of Saratoga. Arnold de-
spised Gen. Horatio Gates, and did
not hide his contempt. SO Gates put
him under arrest for INSTRUMENTATION,
and he was confined in small room
of a farmhouse behind the American
lines in charge Of sentry.
When the battle broke out Arnold
scented the situation and evaded his
guard, leaped upon a horse and led
the attack that carried the British en-
trenchments. The field Of Saratoga is
we'll marked. and where Arnold pene-
trated BurgOyne's trenches stands a
gray granite monument. On il is
carved a cavalryman's jackboot, with
the spur broken off. The marker
bears no comment and no name, but
it points the high-water level Of
Arnolds career.
