T Increasing telephones IN the United
States at the rate Of five for each
working minute during 1929 consti-
tuted a 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
42.7 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 were
$22,9S0,000 or Sc per cent as compared
with 81 per cent the previous year.

Lad ElectrOcuted At Pequea

Paul Lungren, Pequea, Pa, was
electrocuted while playing with his
brother, William Charles, and James
Whitmeyer, Wednesday last. The
boy was 9 years of age, the son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Paul Lungren, Pequea.
The three boys were along the rail-
road tracks near where the high ten
sion wires from HOLLYWOOD to Safe
Harbor are supported by steel poles.
They had piece of copper wire, with
stones tied to each end, throwing one
of the fastened stones over the high
tension wire carrying $1,000 volts of
electricity. Paul was holding one end
of the wire and the current followed
ii and entered the boys body, causing
instant death.

among 1874 users Of mechanical milk
ers throughout the United States and
Canada, according to the De Laval
Bureau. Slightly more than 50 per
cent of the users said that the mixer
reduced by half the time required to
milk by hand. Exactly 1914 per cent
reported that they got as much or
more milk with the mixer as by hand
milking, "a per cent found their ma
chimes were easily kept clean, and 90
per cent considered their milking ma
chine investment profitably made.

Other facts showed that the mixer
took much Of the drudgery out Of
dairy farming, in addition to saving
in the cost Of labor more than enough
to Offset the cost Of the mixer.
This investigation over such a wide
territory and covering a variety Of
farm conditions holds much encour-
agement for the hundreds of thousands

Law Enforcement Group Split
SO Widely on Views, General
Report Is Held Unlikely
~ GEORGE r. HOLMES


President Hoover's Law En-
vided in its views on prohibition
forcement Commission is so d.
that IL Is wholly unlikely It can
produce any report which win
not Be the subject Of controversy
among its own members, niucn
less the public.
Since the commission went into
retirement some days ago 70
wrestle with its problem, al sorts
Of rumors have fitted about. 1t
has been variously reported that
the commission would ultimately
recommend retention Of the
Eighteenth Amendment; that IL
would indorse modification Of the
Volstead act up to 4 per cent
beer: that it would favor . sort
Of modified Canadian system Of
control, and that It would pro
pose . national constitutional
convention to solve the liquor
problem.
An Of 'Em Denied
All Of these rumors haYe been
denied at one stage or another,
and. seemingly. with some justice.
The fact Is, according TO the
most authoritative sources, that
the commissioners are 50 badly
split that they not only cannot
agree on what changes, II any,
are to be recommended In exist
ing law, but they cannot agree as
to the fundamental right Of the
commission to propose any change
in any law.
Several members take the view
that it Is not within the province
of the commission TO recommend
changes In the laws; that 1t Is
the sole duty of the commission
to suggest ways and means Of Sc
curing better enforcement Of the
laws now existent.
They point to the name Of the
body itself, as given by President
Hoover, The National Commits
SIGN on Law Observance and En-
forcement." There Is nothing in
that title, they say, that suggests
any law revision.
Minority to Report
A majority of the Commission,
however. does not agree with this
view. But even In the majority
that does not agree there Is no
i1nanimity Of opinion as to just
how far the Commission may 60
in proposing modification.
AS to what will be the ultimate
outcome Of the deliberations and
divided counselS only the future
can tell. The members them.
selves do not like to hazard
guesses, for the differences are
so great and so apparently deep
rooted that it is considered Inn
probable report can be written
that will command the support
of more than seven of the eleven
members. That there will be a
majority report and one, or more,
minority reports seems assured.
