JANUARY OUTSTANDING
IN TELEPHONE HISTORY

The opening of transatlantic radio
telephone service and also the. open
ing of new transcontinental telephone
line both taking place in January,
1927, calls attention again to che i'm
portant part played by the month of
January in telephone history. For 1t
was in January, 1915, on the 25th Of
the month, that the first transcon-
tinental telephone line was opened,
and it was in January, 1928, on the
14th, that transoceanic radio tele-
phony was first demonstrated by Bell
System engineers who talked to Eng.
land for two hours on that occasion.
Also, it was in January that the first
commercial telephone exchange in the
world was placed in service. This
was at New Haven, Conn.,, on January
2S, 1878.

The Short Course work this year
will be given froG June Is to %.
Arrangements are being made for
many promir ant lecturers, and the
popularity of the work among the
women of the state insures capacity
attendance.
If the Short Course for rural women
has demonstrated anything in the five
years since It's inauguration, it is that
the rural woman has the knack of
adapting herself readily to new and
untried conditions. The increasing
attendance has left no doubt about
the ability OF the rural woman to step
gracefully from the door of her home
one day and to be perfectly at ease
the next in the environment of the
classroom and laboratory.
1t is not difficult to understand what
q week at the University of Maryland
means to the rural woman who is able
to take advantage of it. First of all
comes the instruction, provided on Q
generous scale among practical lines.
They acquire knowledge of foods and
nutrition, discover new ways Of cook
ing and serving meals, gather hints
here and there on appetizing salads
and tempting desserts, and gain bet.
ter understanding of the processes of
canning and preserving.
To understand how eagerly the
rural woman grasps the opportunity
provided by the course in clothing and
millinery, it is only necessary to OBJ.
serve the close interest of the class in
these subjects. The essentials of COS.
tune planning, the selection of tex.
tiles, the choice of suitable millinery
and the construction of attractive and
inexpensive hats are ever popular and
absorbing subjects.
The convenience, comfort and at.
tractiveness of her home are other
matters of appealing interest to the
average rural woman. From the lee.

the renovation of furniture, the proper
choice of color combinations, in the
use of correct drapery materials and
in the selection of suitable furniture
are carried back home from the Short
Course to be put into use. Equally
valuable suggestions for the exterior

from the course in landscape garden.
ing.
And so it is with the other courses;
with dairying, with poultry, health,
parliamentary law, and citizenship.
From all of them the rural woman Ia

spiration.
The instruction provided during the
Short Course, however, is but one Of
the appealing features Of the week at
the University of Maryland. The relief
from routine of household duties, op.
portunities to meet new people, to
make new friendships and exchange
ideas are of value in giving the rural
woman q real week of relaxation and
croft.

Jesse E. Jones, telephone repairman
of the Chesapeake and Potomac Tele-
phone Company of West Virginia at
Clarksburg recently saved the Simp-
son school district of Harrison County
$4,000 for new school house. Repair
man Jones, while returning home from
work one night noticed a strange light
in the Oral School building and on
investigation found the interior In
flames.
Realizing instantly that the building
would be destroyed unless help was Sc
cured promptly he yelled fire, fire."
until people living in the neighborhood
were attracted to the scene. He then
climbed in a window with fire ex-
tinguisher, which is maintained as
part of the automobile equipment of
all repairmen of the telephone COM
pany, and proceeded to put out the fire.
People living nearby, attracted by
Jones' alarm, carried water from the
school-house we'll and extinguished the
flames in the lower part of the struc-
ture. Repairman Jones, with his ex-
tinguisher in hand, succeeded in put
ting out the flames which were eating
away the rafters in the attic. The
damage, which amounted to several
hundred dollars, was said to have been
caused by an overheated stove. Jones
was highly commended by the citizens
Of the district for his prompt action,
which undoubtedly saved the structure.
The school building was valued at
$4,000.

A sensation in photography is sure
to result from the following picture
which Col Bell has been working up
on for more than four weeks. This
should have really appeared long ago,
but the Col. has been loafing for some
time and wouldn't move his hand in
work.
1t was stated last week that the
Col. had refused to take any more pic
lures for Scoop, but this was only to
disguise the real reason. The Col.
asked for week off so that he could
devote his entire time to the following
picture, and everyone can see what a
mess he made of it.
The picture is that of Henry Lauer,
with an extra wide grin, as he greet
ed his son "Bill", now his right-hand
man in the Oakland Model Bakery, up
on his return from the Chinese Cool
les. According to the Col. the smile
was so wide that he couldn't get I

had to make two. The difficulty he
has had in the Photographic art can
easily be seen, but the result speaks

The telephone service recently
established between London, England
and Copenhagen is reported to be
giving satisfaction. 1t is expected
that, in the near future, through tele-
phone calls may be made from Copen-
hagen to New York.
Switzerland has long been known
as an international center for the
legal and political activities Of Eu-
rope. The new direct telephone
cable connections between that coun.
try and Cologne, Hamburg and Lon.
don may some day make Switzerland
an international telephone center as
well.
At the beginning of 1927 there were
about 100000 telephones in Great
Britain and Northern Ireland. On the
same date the FIVE biggest cities In
the United States-New York, Chi
cago, Philadelphia. Boston and Detroit
together-had considerably more than
twice this number Of telephones.
