The reactions Of the first telephone
conversation across the ocean, accord.
ing to transatlantic operators are
about the same with almost everyone.
The first time person talks he Is
usually SO thrilled over the idea of
having his voice span the Atlantic
that he forgets what he wants to say.
The bankers and other business men
who now hold daily conversations,
talk as casually to London, Brussels,
Berlin or Paris as the New Yorker
does when he talks to Washington,
Chicago, or San Francisco. While
there are great many business calls
over the transatlantic telephone sys.
tenn nearly half of the calls now being
made are Of a social nature, because
as one OF the operators explains,
American men travelling in Europe
! feel that they must call up their
families at home to see how they are
getting along without them.
The personnel necessary to operate
the transatlantic circuits does not
consist of switchboard operators only.
Each conversation ia carefully super.
vised in order to protect the patrons
from a possibility of overcharge due
to static or other atmospheric dis.

time allowance is made in fixing the
charge.

tors, are all specialists in their re.
spective lines, and they too get

Mayor Fraley Invites People to
Visit Oakland

In an address over station WMMN,

of the entire section were invited to
pay Oakland a visit and enjoy the
beautiful scenery and many advanta-
ges of this ideal climate His address
follows:
at is my privilege this evening to
tell the radio audience something
about the City of Oakland, Maryland.
This beautiful town of approximately
1000 inhabitants, is situated on the
crest of the Allegheny mountains,
nearly $500 feet above sea level, and
for many years has been widely
known as health resort.
at is the county seat of Garrett
county, and is nthe main line of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad, about
midway between Cumberland, Md,
and Grafton, West Va.
Oakland is a pleasant and whole
some place in which to live, being
amply equipped with hotels, churches,
schools, stores, three banks with to-
tai assets million; garages, drug
stores, bakery, laundry, creamery,
and also a number of professional
men, and is only two miles from Mt.
Lake Park, Md, which is also wide
ly known summer resort. Six miles
east of Oakland is the Deer Park ho
tel, which for many years has enjoyed
a wide reputation as a summer hotel.
1t has beautiful golf course.
"Oakland's water supply is OBJ
tanned from a nearby spring and
there is always an ample supply for
all needs. The water is tested month
ly by the State department of health
and always has been found pure.
electrical power is furnished by
the West Maryland Power company,
a subsidiary of the Monongahela
West Penn Power company. Natural
gas is furnished by the Cumberland
and Allegany gas company, being
piped into Oakland from nearby West
Virginia points.
Oakland has unsurpassed fire pro-
lection for a town of its size. There
was recently installed an American
LaFrance fire engine at a cost of
$4,000.
Oakland is unusually fortunate in
having complete automobile bus ser
vice. The Monongahela West Penn

The English language may have the
same meaning on both sides of the

different way in America and Europe.
This was never so noticeable before
the opening of transatlantic telephone
service. New York English as spoken

service does not seem to sound just

Plans are rapidly developing to make the great "Sourdough Stam- .pede" on August Is, IT and 18th, lone of the biggest events of the summer in Seattle It is to be h Id in the civic auditorium and thru the cooperation of the Seat tle papers and the Associated Press, news stories about the events are already encircling the globe.
 The entire object of the "stam- .pede" is to give publicity to Alaska, land the Yukon Territory-to bring before the people in the guise of entertainment, the great truths about the commercial and agrical- .tural possibilities that lie almost untouched in the North.
 To tell them something about the thrilling days of the first gold rush yes! and social reunion of the old timers yes! But, more, to show them the vast untapped resources now awaiting the intelligent in ,vestment of capital.
