New York and Chicago are now
nearer to each other-by telephone.
When telephone service was first
inaugurated between these cities in
1892, the line distance was $50 miles.
The telephone line was composed en-
tirely of open wire strung on poles.
Telephone communication between
New York and Chicago is now possible
over several cable routes, the shortest
being 1862 miles in length. The open
wire lines of forty years ago were
subject to frequent Interruptions from
wind, rain, snow and sleet. Interrupt
tions from storms have been reduced
to a minimum by the use of cable,
which is practically storm-proof.
Satisfactory voice transmission over
the original telephone circuit necessi-
tated the use of large gauge copper
wires, weighing about $40 pounds per
circuit mile. This wire was about
four times larger than that generally
used for telephone service at the time.
A four-wire cable circuit group such
as is used today weighs only 50 pounds
per mile.
Such satisfactory results were OBJ
tanned over the initial telephone line

that an additional circuit was con-
structed almost Immediately. No fur
Their increase in the number of cir
cults was made between these two
cities until about 1911.
Improvements in transmission were
brought about in 1901, with the in
stallation of loading and simplifying
equipment with the result that very
favorable comments were received
from users of the service.
The next step in further improving
transmission was the installation Of
a telephone repeater at Pittsburgh in
1904. This equipment, according to
officials had tendency to build up
voice currents as they normally d.
minished in volume between Pitts
burgh and New York or Chicago.
With the opening of the transcon-
tinental telephone line January s,
1915, between San Francisco and New
York, the vacuum tube repeater was
demonstrated as great success. I'M
mediately arrangements were made to
install this equipment on the New
York-Chicago telephone circuits. This
apparatus is now widely used.

CAPITAL Outlay

ent and it's County Commissioners
have believed that it is a good policy
to appropriate money by direct levy
for school building purposes rather
than to follow the ill-advised example
of many cities and communities in
bonding themselves to pay in the fu-
ture for buildings which they have
built today. Cecil county, due to this
fact, has no bonded Indebtedness caus-
ed by the schools for capital outlay
purposes since the year 1928. 1t has
followed the example of paying for a
building "as-you-go" out of direct APP
preparation. The wisdom of this pol
icy of PAYING-AS-YOU-G is clearly
shown if one will note the decrease i'll
costs of the total appropriation for
schools between the year 1881 and
1882. There is a difference of $52,603
between the total amount levied for
schools in 1881 and that of 1882. This
difference. of course, is reflected in a
decreased tax rate.

In his daily programs, Lowell Pat
ton, composer, organist and director
of the "Song for Today" program over
WIZ and associated stations, features
at least three songs in each broadcast
for which he has written the music
to original poems. Many of these
poems are written by his listeners.
and others by his mother, Mrs. Bella
Mcintosh Patton, a well-known Port
land, Ore. writer.
It sometimes happens that Mr.. Pat
ton needs a special song for a par
ticular occasion. A telephone call
from New York to his mother in Port
land informs her of his need, and
within short time she calls back
with a poem whose words he takes
down over the long distance wires
and then arranges in musical set
ting.
The last occasion on which he made
use of the telephone to Portland for
this purpose was on his fathers birth
day, when he called to offer his con-
gratulations. At the same time his
mother read to him the lyric for a
new song which she had written and
dedicated to her husband. The son
,opied down the words. and the next
morning the song was heard on the
regular Song fol Today program.

RISING SUN HIGH SCHOOL
Editorial

To date there are So MEM
bers belonging to the athletic
association of our high school.
This is less than one-third of
the number of pupils enrolled
in the school.
AS we approach the opening
of another athletic season, the
financial condition of our ath-
letic association is very poor.
When a pupil becomes
member of our athletic asso-
citation his money goes to a
very good purpose. The mon
ey paid for dues goes toward
buying athletic equipment,
paying transportation charges,
and paying the officials in our
regular inter-school games.
AS the coming season ap-
proaches, there are many obli-
cations facing the athletic as
ISOLATION. Among these are
the purchasing of baseball and
volley ball equipment.
Every pupil in our school
has an equal right to the use of
equipment of the school.
Therefore each person should
do his part towards helping to
purchase the necessary equip
ment.
The student can help this
cause by joining the athletic
association, and becoming a
member in good standing.
Out of a school with an en-
rollment of $50 pupils there
should certainly be more than
fifty-two belonging to the ath-
letic association.
Our athletic season will be-
gin in about thirty days, and
we ask the cooperation of the
students in making it a sue
cessful one. Marvin Lucas.

joyed by all.

POTATO GROWERS WARN.
ED AGAINST STEM
END DISEASE
END DISEASE

Potato growers of the State
are advised to take precaution
this spring against using seed
infected with stem-end and
vascular discoloration disease.
This is one of the most de-
structive diseases with which
the grower has to contend, it is
pointed out by DR.. r. A. Jehle,
Specialist in Plant Pathology
for the University of Maryland
Extension Service. If there is
the slightest trace of it in seed
stock, he advises sale of the
seed for table use and purchase
of certified stock in it's place.
DR.. Jehle recommends use of
Maryland certified seed stock,
since by actual experiment it
has proved best for this Sec
ton.
Potato stem-end and vascu-
lar discoloration, while not
confined to this State, provides
plenty of trouble for Maryland
growers and crops with from
one half to nine tenths of the
tubers diseased are not uncom-
mon. The disease produces a
band of dark-brown or black
tissue in the flesh of the potato
about half an inch beneath the
surface of the skin and gets it's
name from the fact that it be-
gins at the stem end and
spreads to the vascular tissue
which is that portion of the po-
tato conducting the food and
water into &c potato plant, in
Guiding the tubors. There is
always more or less waste in
using a diseased potato, so the
market value is reduced. AS
the disease may be carried over
in the soil from one year to the
next, it is of prime Importance
that careful rotation be carried
out. If it is definitely known
that potatoes with stem-end
and vascular discolcration
were grown in q certain field,
this field should not be used
for potatoes again at least four
years, as the disease has been
known to live in the soil that
long.
In purchasing certified seed
the grower should make sure
the seed has been inspected
just prior to shipment since the
disease may develop in storage.
Maryland certified seed may be
secured from a number Of
counties, information regard-
ing which may be obtained
from the local county AGENT 4

WILL BREED GOLDENROD
TO YIELD MORE RUBBER

The United States Depart
ment of Agriculture is trying
to increase the amount of rub
Der in goldenrod.
Believing that goldenrod has
possibilities as an emergency
source of rubber for the Nation,
the department has planted
several native species of the
plant at it's experimental sta
zion near Charleston, S. G.
and will select and breed prom
Using varieties. Rubber spec
ialists of the department be-
lieve the rubber content of
goldenrod may be increased
just as the sugar content of
sugar beets was increased by
breeding and selection.
In the last two years the de-
partment analysed more than
30 species of goldenrod gather
ed in the vicinity of Washing
ton, D. c., and at Charleston,
finding some in which the
leaves, which contain most OF
the rubber in goldenrod, yield
ed as much as 7.91 per cent
rubber.
The Charleston plots have
plants contributed by the Edi-
son laboratories in Florida,
plants collected in the vicinity
of Charleston, and plants
from Washington, d. c., and
nearby regions.

would then be receiving a salary of
$123,S26, which would be the salary
cost for the unconsolidated schools If
the schools had remained as they
were in 1923-1924.
The reduction in the number of
teachers in 1932-1933 was brought
about through transportation. This
cost of transportation then must be
added to the total salaries of elemen-
tary teachers when comparisons are
made between consolidated schools of
1932-1933 and unconsolidated schools
of 1923-1924 If to this $110,S5O, then,
which is the present sum tor elemen-
tary teachers, is added the sum of

tary salaries paid teachers in this
county for 1932-1933, plus the cost of
transportation of SAT elementary
pupils.

Canned pineapple, familiar food deli
cacy on the American table for so
many years, is seen today in new
role. New food research has found
that canned pineapple is a valuable
source of five necessary minerals and
vitamins A, B, and G. Authorities
recommend two slices or an equivalent
amount in crushed pineapple or It'd
bits in the daily menu as an aid in
maintaining health. In addition to its
mineral and vitamin content pineapple
has been found to be valuable aid to
