this country is served by about 90.
100000 telephones and 24S,OOO miles
Of railroad
Dispatching trains by telephone Is
nothing new. for as early as 1879,
three years after the telephone was
invented the Boston. Revere Beach
and Lynn Railroad used the telephone
for its train dispatching system and
has used it continuously to date, &C.
'ording to Telephone Topics.
This railroad has been In operation
since July %, 1875. and was the first
iilroad in the world to use the tele.
lhone for dispatching trains.
Not only do railroads utilize tele.
phone communication for train dis.
patching. but they are large users OF
telephone service. In fact, nearly
every railroad in the country operates
private branch exchange systems at
its general headquarters and at divi.
sion and district points along Its lines,
and as well are served by telephones
In railroad stations everywhere.

Souvenirs From Garden
of Eden for Tourist,

If, on your vacation you happen to
stumble into the town of Qurna at the
junction of the Tigris and Euphrates
rivers you may not be impressed by
the scenery or the city but you will
soon be informed that it is the site
of the Garden of Eden and to prove
1t you will be shown the "Tree of
Knowledge" says a writer in the
Washington Star. The tree is merely
a decayed trunk with few scraggly
branches and these will soon be out of
business, but the natives have thought
fully planted another tree nearby and
this baby will probably do service as
"the tree" when the older one has de-
parted.
Anyone visiting this locality is pre-
sumed to have come to see the tree,
for there is little else, and the chill
dren of the town are eager in their
efforts to act as guides to visitors.
The new arrival is at once spotted and
surrounded by the juvenile guides and
almost dragged to the tree. Arriving
on the ground the boys will bound in
to the branches and offer chips as
souvenirs.

Burbot MAY Dust Goldfish

The nearest fresh-water relative of
the cod, the burbot fish, may strip its
kin of honors in producing incidentally

times as potent as cod liver oil In the

United States at the rate of 10000 a

of the cases with a wind velocity of
three to four miles an hour. The ciga.
rette Is one Of the greatest fire
hazards the forester knows. A trifling
fraction of the enormous number of
butts discarded is enough to do i'm
measurable fire damage in forests,
wood lands and grass lands.

There was a time when men were
held responsible for women leaving
home. Today industry seems to have
usurped that place, for never before in
the history of the world have so many
women been engaged in Industrial
operations.
In many Industries 1t is easy enough
to associate women among the en-
ployees. People generally are not sur
prised at the large number Of women
employees In the telephone industry,
for the pleasant voices that ask Mum
Der, please?" or say Thank you"
when the number is given are daily
reminders of this fact. Telephone
companies In the United States now
utilize about $4,000 employees in the
construction, operation, and mainte-
nance of the systems. OF this number,
2S9,000 are women. But surprising
facts revealed by officials of the tele-
phone company show that women
occupy many important positions in
other than the telephone operating de-
partments.

"Out of Step" Girls
Find Place in Vitabhone

The awkward extra girl has found
place in pictures at last, Vitaphone

She is the new and ''out of step
baby" in Broadway Babies" who is
saving First Nationals recording ap-
paratus from the disastrous effects OF
too perfect a synchronization of chorus
dance steps.
Two of these ambling young ladies
who probably do not know that they
owe their present jobs to the fact that
they cant dance for sour apples have
recently been included in the east for
Alice Whites new story. They are
seldom seen and never nouceably
heard but they are there, in the back
mass"
Men marching across long bridges
must break step to save the structure
from the racking action of uniform
vibration. So must girl dancing before
microphone have counter beat hid
den some place to save the recording
apparatus from serious damage from
that same vacillation.
Miss White and her two dancing
team mates in this new picture, Sally
Eilers and Marion peanuts" Byron,
had worked for days perfecting their
steps and with the chorus scenes for
broadway Babies" with the chorus
selected when it was found that too
perfect dancing would be next to i'm.
possible to record. So the awkward
squad was added to the chorus and
rehearsals went on. Should one OF
these girls develop into good dan.
GER, she would lose her job or get a
better role.
Miss White, who is starred in this
story written by Jay Gelzer originally
called Broadway Musketeers' but
now renamed broadway Babies,
sings and dances i'm the picture. the
first under her new starring contract
with First National. II will be shown

QUIZ IN NARROW
DEATH PUSHED

NEW YORK, July n.N.s.l.--
Police officials expressed hope today
of an early solution of the staying
Of Frank NARROW, Broadway rack.
eteer, even though nine days have
passed since his bulIet-riddled, body
was tossed from a speeding automo.
bile in Flushing. Queens.
They plan again to question the
seven persons first seized as mate
rial witnesses--six men and a
woman--in the hope Of Wringfng
from them the name of the insti-
gator of the murder. The seven
have insisted. however, they know
nothing of the staying.
1t is Police Commissioner Grover
Whalen's theory that NARROW was
taken for a ride" because he was
reaching out into places where he
didn't belong and that is what they
will not permit in gangdom."
The police profess TO believe that
Daniel Crosse, who was trapped in
a Long Island city apartment sun
day with Nicholas McDermott, holds
the key to the mystery which in
some respects parallels the unsolved
Rothstein case Crosse and McDer-
mott are suspected of having been
with NARROW shortly before he was
taken on the Inflated ride.
However, neither Crosse nor Nc.
Dernott have been identified as the
men seen in the car when MARROW
entered 1t.
