Farm Buying Power

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW HAVEN, Conn, March 4.-The
purchasing power of the farm dollar
came through last week with slight
gain. While prices Of non-agricultural
goods which the farms must buy in
creased slightly, prices of agricultural
goods which are produced by the farms
Increased more markedly; hence farm
purchasing power, which is the quotient
Of these two price indexes, rose slightly.
Cotton, meats and hides were among
the most important agricultural prod
ucts which advanced, last week. Eggs,
grain and potatoes were weak despite
the general strength Of farm products.

The business expansion now under

in nearly every industry. Particularly
is this true with the Chesapeake and

service throughout the State This
company now operates more than 2O2,.
900 telephones, which is an increase of

Pray With Child, Is gos.4
Advice Given Mothers

OF course, the real way is not to
teach children to pray at all, but
whether privately er in the family
group, to pray with them. Here Is
a mother who still is trying to get
an adolescent boy to bow at her knee
each evening and say his prayers, She
suspects that something is the matter.
She can see that his dutiful desire
to please her is under increasing
strain.
Strangely enough, 1t never has oc-
Cured to her that both physically
and mentally her method is wrong and
that If she wants her boy to pray
from the beginning she should have
been on her knees beside him praying
with him.
She should see also that very soon
she must take her hands off that In
innate matter altogether and let him
pray as he will, trusting not so much
to anything she has told him as to
the fact that he knows by obserVa-
ton the value of prayer to persons
whom he himself has loved and ad-
mired.
Religion is something that only sec
ondarlly can be taught 1t must pri-
marily be absorbed, and then the
teaching can persuasively set forth
the meaning Of the life that the child
finds himself both observing and catch
ing In the home. Harry Emerson In

Black Cats and Evil
Linked in All Ages

That verdict rendered against a
Lynn (Mass.) woman charged, among
other things, with having undertaken
by her formulas ito still crying babies
and fighting cats with equal ease"
calls up chapter in the lore Of pop
ular beliefs to which every age cen
tributes new material. And for sheer
interest 1t Is the pugilistic felines, not
the lachrymose infants. which take the
cake. That black cats portend evil Is
a delusion that goes back to the most
ancient times; SO, white or black, they
have everywhere been the material for
all sorts Of superstitions. In the Or
lent cats have knowledge Of the fu-
ture ascribed to them, along with
sensltiveness which can penetrate in
to things dark for the eye of man.
When the cat tears at cushions or car
pets It is believed to be raising the
wind. There Is sure to be changing

be looked for when the animal sits

Varying Ideas as to
"Better Halves " Value

Females of the "fapper" type are
not in favor among the tribesmen
in some parts of Africa. The latest
GIRL is considered the greatest beau
ty and in order to attain this condi-
ton of pulchritude the girls gorge
themselves with milk and dispense
with all physical exertion. Many of
them undergo this treatment while
preparing themselves for matrimony
and the more rolls of fat they can put
'on the better they like 1t. In some
other parts Of the Dark continent,
there are different ideas prevalent and
the value Of the woman is gagged by
the amount Of work she is capable
of doing, and the character OF the
labor she is called upon to perform
Is not conducive to the fat accumula-
ton. The acquisition of wives by pur-
chase is quite general throughout the
country and the medium of exchange
is cows, one wife being worth eight
or ten cows, according to her capa-
city for work. As rule the women
do everything except the actual hunt
ing.

FveYear Construction Program Provides Additional Facilities

ground and aerial cable extensions,
pole lines and wire s10,500,000.
Plans are under way for the con-
struction of five new central Offices
and major additions to switchboards
and associated equipment in number
of existing Offices. Fifteen hundred
miles of 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, MIR. 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 lie
expected that at the end Of the next
five years the yearly calls will mum
Der about 350,000,000. Telephone
users are now making 15,250,00O out
Of town calls each year. Mr.. Nc.
Corkle estimates that Maryland tele.
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. s
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 a definite report has been de.
creased from three minutes in 1925 to
IL minutes in 1929. While this Is a
striking improvement in the service
still further improvements mcy be
expected.
Today about 9S per cent of the toll
telephone calls in Maryland are com
pleted or the subscriber is given a
definite report without hanging up his
receiver. Where the calling party
knows the number of the party
wanted in the distant place a toll call
is made in practically the same way
as a local call.

Radio Idea Old

Radio communication is not an in
ventlOn, nor in reality a discovery.
The theory was known long before
anybody was able to apply 1t In prac-
tlce. Numerous inventors were try
ing to devise apparatus that would
make the theory work. For this rea-
son, several different practical sys-
tens OF wireless telegraphy appeared
about the same time. Marconi had
the good fortune to be first, but he
dlstanced his nearest competitors by
only a short time. It was only by &c.
cident that electrical communication
by wire was perfected before electrl-
cal communication without wires, as
both are implied In the electrical
knowledge that preceded them, and IN
ventOrs were working In both fields
for many years before anybody in
either group succeeded.

Knockout Ended Duel g
9l3j8G Between Rival Hares

An English naturalist describes q
duel which he witnessed In the moon.
light between two hares, the cause
of their dissension being a third,
which was female that went on nib
bling grass during the encounter with
out paying the least attention to the
contest. The battIers were facing each
other In real fighting attitude, their
forepaws held In front looking like
human fists. Standing on their hauhch-
es these two fighters went all out.
They boxed IN fine style, their little
fists" darting In and out like flashes.
Some blows were cleverly parted,
others went well home, and as they
fought footwork was not absent, for
they clrcled round, but always faced
each other. One lost his balance and
sprang lightly aside, to be instantly
followed up, and the punching was re-
newed Apart from the soft noise Of
the blows going home there was no
sound. The end came quickly. 1t
was almost knockout, but am afraid
our rules would have put It down as
a foul. One hare slipped down, land
ed on all four feet, and quick as light
ming his opponent turned and gave
him a kick that landed him many
yards away.
