PHONE CALLS TO
 STATE CAPITOL
Centralized Single Dial Switchboard Simplifies
 Incoming Calls

Centraliza ton of telephone equip ment and the substitution Of dial for manual operation now greatly simplifles the process of making calls to the State Ca pitol at Hart ford. Changes in the system by the southern New England Telephone Company have placed all of the lines in the Capitol building on the one centralized switchboard in the new State office Building. SO that cplls to any of the numerous de- partments Of the Connecticut gov trnment nre now mad" by the use of q single number. 7-634l.
 Calls which were formerly hand led at the old switchboard which has been In use for several years at the Capitol Building are now received Ut the new and improved type of switchboard which Is housed In the new building. This operation feature is effected by tIc-in cables that link all outlying depa artments in other state build ings with the new board.
 The new switchboard has 6 ca pacity of 800 lines with positions . for s operators. It is connected with the Hartford central office by means Of eighty trunk lines. Forty of these lines are used for incom- ing calls and the forty others arc reserved for the use of department tai workers in dialing outgoing calls. The switchboard is also ,equip ped with ten special trunk lines for toll purposes.
 Throughout the building are at tendants' cabinets. key boxes and small turrets at which clerks and others answer and switch calls to persons th their departments This adds considerably to the fexibility Of service.

GERMAN RADIOS
 IN SONG WAR

Berlin. --- Economy measures. which led the state broadcasting monopoly to make unusual use of phonograph records to III In pro. grams. has brought q dispute be. tween the monopoly and the Fed eration of Monograph Record Producers. ending in an ultimatuin from tho producers forbidding fur thcr broadcast of records. ,n
 The ultimatum caused small panic in the broadcasting field. While the German stations have relied much less than the French and others on photograph records, offering daily q series of good cor certs and dance music without ad- vertislng interruptions. certain DC. riods of the day, chiefly in the morning. were filled in with rec. ords.
 The producers objected on the grounds that the radio "plugged" certain song hits too strongly teaching them to the public toe soon, so that sales fell off.
 Decreased sales in turn de. creased the production, and the broadcasting stations, having . smaller selection, naturally over. em mphasized the few song hits available at the general expense of the producers. Negotiations for an agreement have been begun by the stations. t4

LARGE SUM TO BE CIRCULATED
New England Days Will
 Distribute Million

It is interesting to consider the distribution of the funds which will be put into circulation as a re- suit of "New England Days" We. of course. know that the largest share will go to labor en- gagged in the production of the products. Tn fact this portion has already been largely distributed as most of the merchandise has been or is being produced and is now in the stores or enroute. New England railroads and trucking concerns come in for a sizable portion in transporting the products from the factories to the stores and thence into the homes of the customers.
 Store Payrolls Larger
 Store employees, including sales people, office workers, service men, deliverymen, etc, are next in line. Between two and three times as many as the normal number of employees will be used in the stores during this event. Most of the stores are staying open evenings, resulting in overtime pay to work CTS.
 Greatly increased quantities of ttRht, fueI, etc, VIII DO uSeu Dy dIi stores and such merchandise as | stoves, electric washers and radios will in turn increase consumption of these commodities In the homes of the purchasers.
 Newspapers will feel the effect of the event because theirs will be the task of carrying the story of New England Days to tho peo- ple. All stores will use between four and five times the customary amount of advertising.
 In other words, New England Days' Is not m event involving only the customer, the store and the factory. It's effects will be felt throughout the business and in- dustrial structure of New England and win continue long after the event itself closes.

Among the constituents of sea water
is arsenic in minute quantities, but this
element the report points out, exists in
much larger quantities in the ocean
plants and animals. 1t is reported as
normally present in oysters, Scallops,
mussels, periwinkleS, Holsters, Shrimps.
crabs and crawf1sh. HOLSTERS contain
the most-about 40 parts per million.
Other elements found In sea water are
zinc, copper, iron, boron, silicon, fuo-
rine, aluminium, manganese and
barium.
Among the curious facts concerning
the chemistry of the ocean brought out
in the report Is the probable existence
of a low oxygen belt extending around
the globe in the zone Of the Equator,
accounting for the decline Of sea life
in tropical waters. Generally, 1t Is ex-
planned. the waters near the Equator
show the lowest oxygen content, which
gradually increases as the poles are
approached The colder surface waters
OF the temperate and polar regions
often are found super-saturated, and
in fiords and estuaries the super-satu-
ration may run as high as 100 per cent.
On the whole, the Atlantic is richer
in oxygen than the Pacific. This is
explained as due to the fact that the
deeper waters of the latter ocean may
be removed from contact with the at
moSphere for longer periods.
