Increasing telephones in the United

working minute during 1929 consti-
tuted world record. Last year tele-
phone companies in this country re-
ported net gain of 100000 telephones,
the largest increase in the history Of
the industry.
This remarkable telephone growth is
largely responsible for the outstand-
ing record of the Western Electric
Company-the worlds largest manu-.
facturers of telephone supplies. Last
year this company increased its sales
APT per cent over 1928, which previ-
ously was the largest year in the his
tory of the company, according to the
annual report of the stockholders. An
interesting feature Of the report is
that net profits on sales in 1929 we're

Bones Of Animals Long
a. Extinct Found in Hawaii

Bones of an extinct ground sloth,
the first ever found on the island of
La Gonaye, off the coast Of Haiti, may
cast further light on the animal Life
that fourished In the region before
Columbus discovered America.
The remains were secured by Ar
thur J. Poole and W. NJ. Perrygo of
the Smithsonian Institution.
La Gonave, probably the most prim-
five part Of Haiti, was combed for
two weeks for bones Of creatures
which have disappeared from the
earth. The sloth, no larger than q
small pig, had been found on other
islands Of the region, but not before
on this old portion.
Other findings, some In new fields
and others In continuance Of similar
work In past seasons, included more
than a dozen different types Of anil
mails ranging In size from a field
mouse to a beaver.
The bones were found preserved in
more than Is dry caves. While there
is no scientific proof, 1t Is believed
that the animals were brought to the
rock-bound cells by giant owls and
by Indians who were driven from ex-
istence with the coming Of the white
man. u

Little Mary Knew All
About Social Workers

Karl de Schweinitz, general secre-
tary of the Family society, tells Of
social worker who recently took Sam
my and Mary, aged ten and SIX, re-
spectively, in her car to hospital
clinic for examination.
It was the first automobile ride for
both the children-and Sammy could
not restrain himself. He had to see
everything that passed, including
street cars, people and even vacant
lots. Kiddie-like, he had to stand up
and lean far out the car window.
The social worker repeatedly told
him to sit down-but he was too in
terested in the passing scenery. Final
ly, in desperation, she said: Sammy,
If you don't sit down I'll never take
you for another ride In my car"
To which Sammy rather impishly
replied: do all your children mind
you perfectly, Miss X-T
But little Mary knew better than
her older brother and she scornfully
corrected him. Don't you know,
Sammy, that Miss x doesn't have
any children-she only has an office"

NV LADY, Nirof;ra

My Lady Nicotine was named after
a gentleman-Jean Moot Of Mines.
He served as French ambassador at
Lisbon under Frances II, and while
there fell in with Flemish merchant
who gave him some seeds of the to-
bacco plant. ..
Portuguese Adventures had brought
the seeds from South America. Moot
carried them back to France in 1859,
and his countrymen, after expert
encing the pleasures of indulgence in
the crushed leaves of the plants
which grew from them, conferred upon
the plant the name of the ambassa.

it is Nicotiana, and its active principle
is known as Nicotine.

Early Saxon Cemetery

The discovery of more than forty
skeletons on the "Hog's Back" near
Guildford, England, has revealed that
there was once a large Saxon settle
ment there. 1t was thought, when
first the skeletons were unearthed,
that they were the remains Of male
factors hanged on the gibbet which
once stood there. But further excavat-
ing resulted in finds of great interest,
including perfectly preserved drink
ing vessel and spearhead and fer
rule. From these British museum au-
thorities are able to place the date of
burial somewhere between 600 and
$50 A. D. Among the skeletons are
some of very large men, several meas
uring over six feet.

Of radium, consists in the election of

Demonstrate Against
Murderous Fascists

NEW YORK.-Throughout the
noon hour Saturday at two different
points near the Finnish consulate,
where agents of the white guard fas-
cist government of that country
hang out their flag, workers gath
cred to denounce the murder regime
in Helsingfors. The demonstra-
tions were directly in front of the
consulate general of Finland, No.
5 State ST., and at the corner of
South and Whitehall SITS.
Among the speakers were M.
Wick, Tom Dougherty of the Amer
lean Negro Labor Congress, 7.
Tennhunen and S. Sankari.
The consulate had plenty of Tam
many policemen to guard the fas-
cist officials within.
Large crowds of office workers
gathered and listened to the
speeches denouncing the new murder
laws being passed by the Finnish
parliament while the streets of the
capital are armed camps of fascist
and every day assaults against
workers and their leaders continue.

Banker Likes the Way
Green Keeps UpWage'

NEW YORK.-President Green of
the A. F. of l.. and Chairman Lewis
E. Pierson of the Irving Trust Co.
banded compliments when crafts
manship awards were given union
workers on the eompany's new sky
scraper in the Wall Street financial
district. Labor can thank President
Green, said Pierson, for the "crea-
ton of an attitude that has kept
management from lowering wages
to tide industry over this period of
depression" The labor leader
praised the banker for being a
"staunch advocate of high wages as
a solution of economic ills"
The fraud lies in the fact that
Green's program, which is the
bosses program, has simply not
kept wages from being lowered.
Wage cuts are sweeping over the
country, one of the latest being a
flat, arbitrary, not previously an
nounced ten per cent cut for all Ma
tional Cash Register employees last

witness, Macdonald, and his ex-
pected arrival in California in the
near future coupled with the fact
that Governor Young's refusal of
pardon was so plainly a bid for the
support of the treasury of the
public utilities companies which
financed the frame-up in the first
place, has aroused interest and
thrown the case into politics.
All the California capitalist press
has to devote much space to it.
Meanwhile, the police depart

and his supreme court are prepar-
ing to bring pressure on Macdonald
to silence him or change his story.
