Instruction Of five new central offices

leofS existing offices. Fifteen hundred
miles sof open wire copper toll lines
and $50 miles Of toll cable will be
added to the system by the end Of
1888 in order to meet the increasing
demands Of the public for telephone
service, Mr.. McCorkle states. The
placing of long distance lines in these
storm-proof cables not only provides
additional facilities for the growth Of
the toll service, but also materially re-
duces the storm hazards of sleet, wind
and rain in the maintenance and oper-
alton Of these telephone lines.
While the telephone was more UNI
versally used in Maryland last year
than ever before, approximately 1885,
100000 local calls being made, 1t Is
expected that at the end of the next
five years the yearly calls will num-
Der about 350,0O0,O00. Telephone
users are now making 15,250,000 out
Of town calls each year. Mr.. Nc
Corkle estimates that Maryland te1e-
phone users will be making about 49,.
100000 toll calls annually by 1888,
which Is an increase Of nearly fifty
per cent over the number now being
made.
During the last few years a very
appreciable improvement has been
made in both local and toll telephone
service. This improvement has been
most marked in out Of town calls. The
average interval between the time a
telephone subscriber files the call and
the time he starts his conversation or
is given definite report has been de.
creased from three minutes in 1925 to
Ia minutes in 1929. While this is a
striking improvement in the service,
still further improvements may be
expected. W. alb,a.A..asssgstAs. - 4

Turkeys Bred by Aztecs

Although the earliest authentic rec
ord Of the turkey refers to its intro
ducti9n into Spain in 1924, a French
writer says turkeys were first brought
to France in 1918. When the Span
iards conquered Mexico they found
SEMI omesticated turkeys in the ZOO
logical parks of the Aztecs, he writes.
Among the Pueblo Indians Of the
Southwest turkeys were raised before
tile coming Of the Spaniards and these
fowls had reached about the same de-
gree Of domestication that pigeons
have today.-Pathfnder Magazine.

spare tire was missing.
With a nonchalant shrug, he NUT

Won Astronomical Honors

All the planets except Uranus and
Neptune have been known since early
times. Uranus was the first planet to
be discovered. William Herschel dis
covered Uranus, and was soon after
ward made royal astronomer by George
III of England and knighted. The &C.
centricity of the behavior of the new
planet led to mathematical calcula-
lions deducing the presence of another
planet. Several astronomers exchanged
data regarding its calculated position,
and Gale of the Berlin observatory
was the first to see the planet known
to the world as Neptune.

Eonoring the Dead

Annual Decoration day is most en-
Enthusiastically observed by the Lower
Yukon River Indians. Late last au-
tumn fifteen families of Indians from
Nulato and other villages met together
to fulfill the custom of erecting houses
over the graves of those who died dur
Ing the year. The shelters of the old
graves were given a fresh coat of bril-
liant paint.
Many Of the unique mausoleums
have windows and floors and contain
rugs and other articles that were used
by the departed ones.
Every western Alaska Indian tribe
has a different method of protecting
the spirit of departed ones.

Gable Insulation

One can hardly see any connection
between hoop skirts and the electrical
industry. but one may be traced,
strangely enough, which took place In
the early days of the electrical devel-
opment. The first cables were not in
sulated satisfactorily till Walter T.
Glover, an Englishman who braided
steel hoops with cotton, had an In
spiration. Crinolines were going out,
so was his business. So he used his
machinery for insulating copper wire
with cotton braid, and he soon had
no cause to regret the passing Of the
crinoline.

Oldest Radio Station
i'm Virginia Graveyard

There are many strange radio sta
lions in the world, but one Of the
strangest, perhaps, is the station that
is located in graveyard. The re-
deeming feature of the whole thing Is
the fact that it is not human but
a ship graveyard.
Anchored in the James river near
Fort Eustis, Va, are some 200 ships
of the Emergency Fleet corporation.
Built for use in the time of the war
and now of no use to the government,
they are tied up awaiting sale, or
death by decay. Tied up in 10 units
of 20 ships each, they spread out over
this historic river for some five miles.
When the high winds blow down the
river the boats occasionally break
away from their units and go drifting
down the river, menace to naviga-
ton. Also, when the high winds blow,
the little land phone line that runs to
Yorktown Is carried away. 1t is in
times like this that the radio station,
which Is located on the flagship OF the
fleet, comes into operation. A call Is
sent to the navy yard at Newport
News and tugs are dispatched to re-
turn the refractory boat to the fold.
Even in calm weather the transmit
ter gets an occasional workout BY
transmitting messages received by
phone from the Yorktown mine depot
to the navy yard. Fort Eustis, near
which this peculiar little station Is To-
Gated, is also the home base OF the
only railway artillery unit In the
United States army.

Banking began In Canada in 1892.
when the Canadian Banking Co. was
formed as a bank of issue. But British
capital was needed, and the company
was baked by the outbreak Of the war
with the French.
In 1908 the Bank Of Canada was
undertaken, but the Legislature Of Low
er Canada refused to grant its incor-
poration.
The Bank Of Montreal began in 1917,
as q private institution, with articles Of
association copied from the first charter
of the Bank Of the United States. Since
then more than so banks have been
established. or these &c have gone
into the hands Of receivers and the re-
mainder have been absorbed by or
merged with those now in existence.
Now there are 10 banks left. They

Canada, $50 branches; Bank of To-
ronto. 1875 branches; Imperial Bank, 1874
branches: Dominion Bank, 1872 branches,
and the Weyburn Security Bank, with
80 branches.
Together, these banks have 4.153
branches, of which 1877 are in countries
other than Canada.

sets Of more than $500, 000, 900, is head

The branch banking system Is 80 in

no agitation, or very little, except in
certain Western communities, for q

Sir Herbert Holt receives credit in
Canada for being largely responsible for

Herbert interested In banking, but his
wide interests and financial activities
cover the continent.
