Umbr.ll. Held Danger

The earliest English writer to mem
tlOn umbrellas regarded them with
suspicion. In the Seventeenth CEN
fury a British traveller, having re-
turned from Italy, wrote:
SIN hot regions, to avoid the beames
of the sunne in some places Gas in
Italy, they carry umbrels, or things
like little canopy, over their heads {;
but a learned physician told sme that
the use of them was dangerous, be-
cause they gather the heate into a
pyramidall point, and thence cast 1t
down perpendicularly upon the head,
except they know how to carry them"

Branding Sheen

Sheep are branded with paint and
not with hot ironssas cattle are. The
fleece grows. out so that hot-lroD
brandings would be covered up. Sheep
must be branded every time they are
feeced. The branding of sheep is
more common in the range countries
than In the farm states, as sheep are
usually kept under fence on farms,
and there is not much need of brand.
Ing. Special branding paint should be
used instead of just any kind of tar
or barn paint, so ms to reduce to a
minimum the trouble of securing the
wool. Manufacturers prefer that the
brand be placed on sheep where the
wool is of the least value, such as
on top Of the rump.

The 5000 buildings of the Bell Tele-
phone System, ranging In size from
the monumental headquarters struc-
ture Of the New York Telephone Com
pany-the largest telephone building
In the world-with its 100000 square
feet of floor space, housing 5000 peo-
pie as well as equipment serving close
to 100000 telephones, down to the
smallest buildings whose personnel
includes dozen or two people serving
several hundred telephones, have a
capital investment, including land, of
approximately $36O,OOO,OOO.
OF this huge city of buildings al
most half are owned by the telephone
company, says Richard Storrs C0e In
the Bell Telephone Quarterly. And
these figures are exclusive Of the build
ings occupied by the Western Electric
Company, Inc, with its huge manufac-
turing plants at Hawthorne, ILL.,, and
Kearny, N. j., and store houses else
where throughout the country, not to
mention the great Industrial plant
now in course of construction at Point
Breeze, Baltimore, Md.
This group OF buildings is said to
be the largest group belonging to any
industry in the United States. To
meet the demands of the public for
telephone, service the systems build
ings are constantly being expanded
This years program includes 200 new
buildings and 80 major additions
which in itself is an undertaking OF
very considerable magnitude. Last
year 122 new buildings and 80 add
tions to buildings were erected.

 Mir. Wistar, a snappy, energetic and full of the old pep which steams things along, regretted his itinerary did not include an opportunity to view the grandeur of the Katmai district and the Aleutian Islands, but spoke en- thusiastically about his trip into Mckinley Park.
