WASHINGTON, Dec. Millions
of words, from the lips of thou
sands of speakers, will summarize
the progress of science at a series of
meetings of learned societies all over
the country during the week be-
tween Christmas and New Years
day.
The whole alphabet of science,
from astrology to zoology, will march
in review. while research workers
and teachers set forth knowledge
they have gained during the last
year and receive in exchange news
of progress made by their fellow
workers.
The principal point of this years
scientific pilgrimage will be New
Orleans. Here the largest of Ameri-
can scientific bodies, the American
Association for the Advancement OF
Science, together with thirty-three
affiliated organizations each devoted
to some special branch of science
will attract crowd of scientists and
their wives estimated in advance at
approximately 5000.
The gathering will be under the
presidency of Professor Franz Boas
of Columbia university, noted an
thropologist. Professor Boas also
will lead a symposium in his special
division of science, on the subject
Growth"
BY no means, all of the papers
presented at the New Orleans group
of meetings will be of strictly tech
nical character. The outstanding
even at the present meeting will be
an Edison memorial meeting to be
held in the New Orleans auditorium
on Wednesday night, Dec. 30.
The opening address on this oc-
casion will be given by Charles L.

Justice was tempered with mercy
by Judge 1. Mayfield yesterday
afternoon when he sentenced R. D.
Roper to 30 days in the county jail
for drunk driving, and suspended
the sentence, telling Roper to get
into his car and go on his way, being
careful to avoid future trouble with
old man Barleycorn.
Roper was arrested by Captain
Frank Oswalt of the California
Highway Patrol after a festive ses-
sion in Mexicali. Together with his
wife and tiny daughter he was
bound from Oklahoma to his home
in Yucapai, travelling in dilapidat-
ed car with his worldly effects piled
in the back seat and on the running
boards.
While Roper was in the county jail
awaiting trial, his wife and daughter
were camped on a vacant lot near
El Centro without sufficient fund
or means to provide for themselves.

Slattery, twice world light heavy
weight champion, reported in top
condition today for his attempt to
remove a smirch from his pugilistic
record in a 10-round bout against
King Levinsky at Chicago stadium.

ming for a decisive victory tonight
to offset the previous verdict. Slat-
terry and the $4,000 spectators who
witnessed the previous engagement
believed he was entitled to the de-
cision over Levinsky. but the Chi

NEWLY FORMED
POLO OUTFIT

Polo and Breakfast club. which has
been under discussion for some
time, became q fact last night when
number of prospective poloists

10 indulge in their solo flight in
sofar as real game was con-
cerned. Two teams lined up with
opposite goals, and under the eyes
of an unexpectedly large crowd fol-
lowed the ball about the field un-
til the game ended in a draw.
Frank Smyer ana Jess Hill gave
promise OF becoming outstanding
stars of the game. Snyer showed
the best ability of any man on the
field to get distance in hard
swings from his mounts back. Nor
ris, riding horse entirely unused
to polo. showed a tendency to be
where the competition was hardest,
and Donohue proved of value to his
side with long shots placed just
where they should go.

32S,OO4 PHONES IN USE

Telephone station development in Connecticut is progressing at a far more rapid rate than the increase in the states population. Southern New England Telephone Company re- cords show. Within the past five years, Connecticut's telephone sta- tions have increased from ITO per thousand population ot 204 per thou sand. These figures indicate that in this state at the present there is one telephone station for every 4.9 per- sons. an exceptionally high ratio as compared with that of other sections of the country. In actual growth within the same period, the number of telephones in the system has in- creased from 250.O00 to 32S,OOO.
 As rapidly as the number of the states telephones is increasing, how ever, the use of them is increasing at an even more rapid rate, that is, the individual telephone subscriber is making and receiving more calls each year than ever before. The to- tai number of local, state toll and long oistance calls placed in Con- nectfcut in 1925 was 389.455,OOO. During 1880, the number of calls of all descriptions was 504,5SS,00, a growth of more than one hundred
