FOREIGN PHONE
 CALLS IN l930
TransOceanic Radio Calls From Conn Doubled
 Those of 1929
TOTAL SlXTY=TWO

Trans oceanic calls from Connec- countries over the combination wire
 and radio system during the year of 1880 were exactly double the number placed in 1929. The calls to foreign countries exclusive of those made to Canada, Mexico and Cuba totaled sixty-two in the past year, as com- pared with thirty-one in the previous year.. Canadian calls were almost as
 common as those placed to the more
 distant states, while the calls to Havana and other parts of Cuba tctaled thirty-four and those to Mex ico seven.
 The longest trans-OceaniC radio call in which Connecticut subscriber tCk part was made from Australia. the voices being carried through the ether by way of England over dis tance of 14,000 miles.
 In addition to the calls to foreign countries, Connecticut subscribers placed three calls to ships at sea, there being several ocean liners which are equipped for ship -shore
 radio telephone service.
 Of the siXty-two radio hops to for e:gn countries, twentynine were
 made to points in France, chiefly to Paris. London and other English
 cities were called by Connecticut
 subscribers twenty times. There
 were five Connecticut conversations
 with people in Germany and three
 calls were placed to Switzerland.
 South America, Austria. Scotland
 and Belgium had one gall each.
 Since toll call records are kept
 only in the exchanges in which they
 originate, there is no way of know
 ing the exact total of the calls made to Connecticut subscribers from for
 cign points, but it is estimated by
 telephone company officials that the
 number of incoming calls closely ap-
 proximated the number of outgoing

GRADE CROSSING FATALITIES CUT
New Haven Road Cuts To- tai By Fifty Per Cent in
 1930 ONLY NINE DEATHS

Grade crossing accidents and fla talities on the New Haven railroad were greatly reduced during the year of 1880, only nine deaths re- sulting from crossing crashes on the entire system in Connecticut, Massa- chusetts. Rhode Island and New York, as compared with IS fatalities in 1929. The number of fatalities were thus lowered by 90 per cent in 1880. The only death occurring at grade crossings in Connecticut was where a section foreman was killed when his rail motor car was struck by a truck. No deaths occurred in Rhode Island or New York. On the entire system, the number of cross- ing accidents was reduced from IA in 1929 to 92 during the past year.
 Railroad officials attribute the ex- traordinaryly large reduction of acci- dents and fatalities during the past two years to three factors; namely, the prolonging of whistling period for all trains in approaching cross ings; the extended use of flashing red light signals; and the widespread safety campaign which has been con- ducted by tine railroad to educate the motoring public to exercise greater precaution in crossin railroad tracks.
 The fact that the railroads pro-

 3.-Many veterans were under the impression that disability allowance could not be paid if they made a settlement with an insurance com under the Workmen's Compensation Act.
 4-Picked up great many circles which were filed in 1919 and 1920 which were not conectab1e at that time but are now service connected automatically under the present legislation, the men not being fa- miliar with the presumptive clause and knowing nothing about chronic constitutional disability at this time
 Commenting on the results of his trip, MT Burns said:
 "I am pointing out the above facts particularly because no doub there are hundreds of men who are potential hospital cases of which the bureau has no record at this time, yet who are actually service con- nected. For instance, there may be ten mental cases in each state simi- lar to the one I found. If that is true, the average for the United States would be total of 4SO men, tai cases actually service connected, where no claim has been filed. If all these men came in to-day. the bureau would not be able to hos pitaliZe them. Of the number of men l contacted. l would estimate that at least 30 per cent were good claims"

gram of safety education has been successful is evidenced not only in the large cut in the number of acci- dents, but also by an amazing re- duction in the number of occasions when motorists were approaching grade crossings at such speed that they were unable to stop when the gates were lowered. Last year, the number of drivers involved in this type of mishap was cut to 149. There was likewise marked improvement in the number of autos which ran into passing trains and which parked too close to the tracks or became stalled on the rails.

WYKOFF TACKLES
 20O-YARD EVENT

LOS ANGELES, Cal, June 13.- Frank Wykoif is out to prove he's not one-race star.
 The 1.-the University of Southern California flier twice last year ran the 100 yards in 9.4 seconds, under worlds record time, but he seldom entered the 220 dash because his physique was not up to standard due to a previous illness.
 This year, however, the Glendale rocket is running the furlong with apologies to no one. He has a mark of 208 just two-tenths be- hind Roland Locke's worlds rec ord time.
 Wykoff's stamina, despite his slight build, was first shown in the final American Olympic trials of 1928, when he ran 100 meters (about 109 yards) four times in one afternoon in 10.6, equaling the Olympic record.
 One of life's astonishing myster- ies is the speed some people show when going nowhere.

PRODUCTION PROSPECT

Mary is only Is months old now, but we have no objections to her following the stage when she grows up," said Miss Hayes.
 Charlie and I, of course, would like to see her become a producer. Then Charlie could write her plays and I could act them, and she'd be the only producer we ever had we could talk back to!
 She even looks like a producer already-walking around, so small and fat.
 Seriously, though, I hope Mary doesn't want to be an actress. Not that it's hurt me any. It hasn't. It's been very good to me. But it's also been a hard taskmaster. On the stage since I was five, I've scarcely had a real childhood, and I'd like to see Mary have all the things I missed.'

JOHN BUNNY's SECRET

Miss Hayes, although Lullaby will be her first talkie, is no screen newcomer. She recalls the days, 20 years ago, when she played for Vii tagraph in New York as a child actress, appearing on the stage at night.
 Pictures were considered very low then, beneath the dignity of stage actors in great secrecy. The first day there whom should we meet but John Bunny? He was ter ribly embarrassed when I recog- nized him, and that night back stage we made pact not to give each others disgrace away. But it wasn't long before John Bunny be- came more famous on the screen than on the stage, and then he didn't have to keep his infamy a secret.
 And now every New York actor more than ever before-wants to come to Hollywood!"
