Lines sTied Together"
At various points along these three
lines. they are tied together by north
and south lines forming a network
and making it difficult to isolate any
one section of the country by telc-
phone. In case Of interruptions or
disasters on any one Of these three
routes, long distance calls can be re-
routed.

The long distance telephone line
from Boston reached New York in
1884, covering 235 miles. On October
10, 1892, it had reached Chicago cx-
tending more than 1000 miles. Dur
ing 1908 the line reached Omaha, and
by 1911 Denver was the farthest west
point Of the line.
n long DISTANCE LelepnOnc caDIe
from New York to Chicago was placed
in service in 1926. This cable, $50
miles long. contains more than 500
separate pathways Of Communication.
Just recently, this cable was extended
to St. Louis.
Long distance" now reaches TO-
900 cities. towns and communities in
the United States and on January Z,
1927, it was extended across the At
lantic ocean. On that day Walter S.
Clifford, president of the American
Telephone and Telegraph company,
talked with the secretary of the Gen.
eral Post Office of Great Britain by
radio telephone. Transatlantic tele-
phone service now is available to
people living within the metropolitan
areas Of New York and London. From
time to time II il planned to extend
this service until practically anyone
in the United States can talk to any
one in Great Britain and possibly in
Europe, telephone officials hope.

Guiding rheumatic fever chorea
and rheumatic heart; and chronic
rheumatism. which generally means
rheumatoid arthritis or any form
Of muscular or fibrous inflamma-
ton.
The distinction from govt is still
unsatisfactory. and no one is GER
tain what causes rheumatic condi-
tons or whether all have the same
cause.
What. however. seems sure is
that some of these chronic joint
troubles. which are often so bad
as to cripple their victim through
out his life, are due to infection
by a microbe of the group called
streptococci.
These are normally present in
the body and play a part in many
infections.
1t is known that some cases Of
rheumatism are caused by infec-
ton from bad teeth, tonsils, sinuses
and adenoids. and the remedy is
obvious.
There remains. however, large
numbers of cases where the in.

EINHIS is how Americans can get

Anita Loos, author of Gentlemen

French capital for December
Harper's Bazaar: =
After a girl has her legal resi-.

band in another legal residence.
the girls lawyer is supposed to
go to a Parisian judge and tell
him that he has a married client
whose husband seems opposed to
her.

he will send one of his assistants,
who is called a 'hussier.' over to
call on the husband. and ask him
If he will not move over to his
wife's legal residence.
$50 this "hussier" pays the hus-
band call, and extends him an
3 invitation to move over to his
wife's. And the etiquette of it all
Is, that the husband is supposed
to make a. stand and say, ''If she
was the last woman on earth,
would not move into her legal
residence

the evidence he came for, SO he
goes away, and tells the Judge
that he went himself with the in

CHILD LABOR
INCREASES

THE 1927 brand of opposition
Il to child labor legislation,
whether State or Federal, is to
assert that child labor is decreas-
ing--in fact, that it is practical
ly non-existent. To the Fed.
eral Children's Bureau Of the
United States Department of
Labor, the country is once more
indebted for the facts which dis
prove this argument. The bureau
publishes, annually statistics from
as many cities and states as can
supply them relative to the mum
Der of children who have received
employment certificates-in other
words the number Of children
who have legally entered work
during the year.
Every year since 1922, with the
exception of 1925, these figures
have increased. In 1926 the mum.
Der has again mounted.
Recognizing all the factors that
might be involved-an extension
of the work certificate system to
cover new occupations, better en-.
forcement of the law, etc, the
Children's Bureau nevertheless
concludes that the increase is pl:i
marily the reflection "a a. general
business revival which offers
greater opportunities Of employ
nent to children.
The facts are that, considering
only children of IA and Is years
entering industry for the first
time, increases were reported in
s out of IL states and in "a out
of 20 cities.
These figures collected by the
Children's Bureau probably repre-
sent about half the children in
the country receiving work per.
,mits, and are typical of the coun-
try, as a whole. They give 10
idea, however, of the trend T eni-
ployment for children entering
such occupations as farm work,
domestic service. street trades
and home work, for which per.
mits are not required, nor of the
number of children illegally EN-
ployed-which this same report
indicates is very extensive.
The four cities reporting the
greatest increases were Fall River
and New Bedford, Massachusetts,;
New Britain, Connecticut; and
Yonkers, New York--all having
an increase Of over 30 per cent.
