PHONE UTOPIA
SEEN IN NEAR
FUTURE FOR u. S.

WASHINGTON, March 2 U.P0
The telephone utopia, or a
time when all telephones in all ma
tons can be connected, is rapidly
nearing in the opinion of engineers,
who, on March 10, will observe the
speaking device in the United States
Already telephone users in the
United States can converse with
users in 40 other countries locat-
cd on the SIX other continents These
connections comprise a network of
2,75O 900 telephones, or more than
90 per cent of all such instruments
in the world 1t will be only a short
time until virtually all of the re-
naming connection will be possible
in the opinion CT government COM
municaticns experts.
Four Countries Left
There remain only four countries
having more than 100000 telephones
with which the United States does
not have connections. These are
China, Japan, Rus ia and South
Africa. The link with the last named
is likely to be completed within the
current year and that with Japan
should require only a. relatively few
months more, according to Stanley
Shoup, of the communication div

Look At Your Schools

There is a good chance your children are attending schools which are nothing but f.e traps. That is not exaggerated. Expert in vestigation has determined that as many as fifty per cent of our schools, in large towns and small, are not fire for use.
 One large high school revealed luera- tive business being conducted by the janitor in automobile and furniture finishing. Work of this kind is extremely dangerous unless equipment is installed in accordance with rigid regulationsyet not one requirement has been observed. In another high school housing over three thousand students the gymnasium was below ground level, and could only be reached or left by climbing twenty-inch wide stairway leading to poor ly lighted dressing rooms, thence to the boiler room and finally going l27 feet to an outside door which was small and not equipped with panic release. thousand examples of such kind could be cited.
 Look at your local schools! Demand that they be built or rebuilt in accord with the highest standards of fire resistance. De- mand also that every possible protective de- vice be installed. Every fire is tragic--and those which destroy young lives are the most tragic of all.

A Book a Day
by BRUCE CATION

Three centuries ago the "mys- terious east" was really mysterious. Men still believed that there was a. northwest passage to Cathay, somewhere, and a man who ven- tured out from England could be sure of finding strange adventure and romantic danger once he had reached the China Sea.
 1t is against this background that Richard Blaker has written "The Needle Watcher" a novel dealing with the adventures of one Will Adams, English mariner, whose ship was cast on the coast of Japan in 1900 and who stayed there for the rest of his life to pursue 8 deam he could never quite catch up with.
 Adams-Dubbed the needle watcher" because of his familiarity with the compass--somehow struck the fancy of Ieyasu, all-powerfui Shogun of Japan; so leyasu' ln- stead of crucifying him as he nad planned, took him into his service,
 made @ two-sword nobleman, Samurai, of him, and enabled nm to marry a Japanese woman ana found a nobleman's estate.
 The rest of the story tells what Adams did with his new life; how he clung to his old desire to nne the northwest passage, how he re- fused to return to England, how he tried constantly to help the English merchants who come to Japan, and how, finally, he lost the Shogun's favor. And 1t makes Q good story; a story made colorful by romance and adventure in a |story-book land, a story which, In short, is as good a romantic-ad- venture novel as you will run across all fall.
 It is published by Doubleday, Doran & Go, and it sells at $2.b0.

public debt averaged S43.33 per capita. it now averages more than S255.
 Congressman McGusin. like other quail flied observers lays the principal blame for exorbifant taxes on the continual widening of government activities More and more billions are demanded for "relief--for ven. lures into business. for subsidies for states. The great bulk of these appropriations can benefit but small part of the country. and must be paid for by people who get little or nothing in return.
 In concluding his address. Mir MeGugin quoted an editorial from the Galena, Kansas, Times, which criticized the habit of many persons. who are opposed to increased gov ernmental activity in general, to ask for II when they believe it to be in their interest. and said: Let every weekly newspaper in the United States express that thought and sooner or later the people in every nook and coSner of this country will be awakened to the need of reducing these governmental activities That is true and it should be remembered. The country papers of the nation are well fitted to lead in campaign that will stem the rising tide ot taxation and prepare the way for renewed industrial activity and stimulated employ ment.

Protection For Government

The superintendent of police at Washing ington has asked the commissioners of the District of Columbia to ask Congress for a law which would give the police "und.s- puted authority to evacuate any army of indigents after their constitutional rights of petition have been exercised"
 This request is made in order to avoid a recurrence of the situation which deve,oped recently, when the Bonus Expeditionary Force, encamped in Washington, proved embarrassing alike to the city and the gov ernment and eventually brought trouble on everybody concerned.
 Other marches on Washington" are said to be threatened this winter. It would b. natural Also justfiable, according to our American tradition and law. The eonsl!- tutional right of petition" is sacred. A petition in boots has as much right as written petition. Citizens may march to Washington and ask the President or Con- gress to grant relief or redress grievances if they choose. A marching lobby presumably has as much right to the ear of the govern ment as any less demonstrative lobby
 But this is not saying that any such body has right to settle down and camp in Washington until its demands are granted. Anyone who has read little history knows the danger of having an army whether military or civilian. camping in national capital. Civil government must be protected from coercion. The residents of capital city also have their rights

The Accident Picture

The complete 193l accident picture is an interesting study in contrasts. Motor vehicle deaths numbered 33.500-a new high record. Accidents were the second most important causes of deaths in men, heart disease being first. On the other hand, in- dustrial plants reduced employees injury fre- quency rates 38 per cent in two years. and railway crossing accidents declined 10 per cent.
 In the past decade. industry has made amazing strides in preventing accidents and in lessening their severity. Part of this has been accomplished by improved guarding Of machinery. The larger part, however. has resulted from a new spirit of safety first that has been instlled into workers and manage ment alike. Precisely the opposite has oc- cured on our highways. Reckessness grows, rather than slackens; improvements in cars breed more deaths and injuries not less.
 What has been done in industry can be done with automobile driving. Just as in- .dustrial management disciplines the heed less worker who endangers others. SO must the state discipline the needless driver If in- dustrial workers can learn the gospel of acci- dent prevention and take it to heart so that it becomes a part of their mental opera tions, SO can the automobile driver learn care. competence and courtesy. It is time to take drastic action to make our streets and highways safe.

"sI MONUMENTUM REQUIRES"
 (AIo... Xnrk Sllnl

One of the most interesting of the exhibits brought together In the trophy room of St PauPs ca- thedral on the occasion of the ter centenary of Christopher Wren's birth is the first design for the cathedral, rejected because of cler- ical insistence upon a long nave with aisles. It is said that Wren wept when he could not prevail upon the Prstestants The narrow insistence of the moment, however. has served Wren's reputation well in the course of more than two centuries. Though he did not fol- low in detail the specifications of the second design which he pro- duced, he departed from them only to enrich the greatest of monu- ments to his genius. London archi- tects today agree that a cathedral such as Wren first designed would have given far less of an impress sion of loftiness in the environment of the twentieth century than the cathedral which actually arose.
 The famous epitaph reads: "Si monumentum requiris, circum- spice." Skeptics need look no fur ther than the great cathedral, though if London's vision after the great fire of 1866 had been the equal to Wren's the whole plan or the city would today be a monu- ment to his genius.
 Americans who cannot travel to London may look about at home: They will find, in many q detail of American architecture. trace or Wren's enduring influence.
