Telephone transmitters and receivers

100000 a year each by the Western
Electric Company must be perfect me-
chemically when placed in service.
Each instrument must be tested indi-
vidually, which would be herculean
task if it were necessary to perform
this function by human operation.
Fortunately the scientists and engi-
neers of the Bell Telephone Labora-
tories have beep able to develop an
electrical ear and electrical mouth that
performs the necessary services Of
testing this equipment much more ac-
curately and speedily than you'd be
possible by any human performance.
The electrical ear is used in testing
telephone receivers. It provides an ar

drum which responds to sound, just
as does the human ear. Instead of an
ear drum and associated bones which,
in the human ear, send nerve inn

PROTECT THE SCHOOL CHILL
DREN

Motorists are urged by the Key
stone Automobile Club of Maryland
to give their fullest cooperation to
he movement fostered by the Club
Tor the protection of school children.
A safety bulletin issued by Albert
E. Buckley, Manager of the Club,
points out the many dangers con-
fronting children returning TO school
after the summer vacation, and en-
phasizes the responsibility of motor
lists in safeguarding the lives of
pupils.
with the opening of schools for
the Fall term" says the bulletin,
1.-The streets will be thronged with
children who will attend school for
the first time. These children have
not had the benefit of safety lessons
in the classroom, and in their behalf
we appeal particularly TO motorists.
To a very great extent the safety of
first-year pupils will depend upon the
care with which motor vehicles are
operated, not only in the vicinity of
the schools. but on all streets where
children are walking on their way to
and from the classrooms.
"All drivers are strongly urged to
use the utmost caution where chill
dren are crossing streets. No one
can foretell when child is going to
rush forward from a group into the
path of moving vehicles. Because of
this uncertainty the duty devolves
upon the motorist to have his car
under such control that he can stop
at a moments notice. Safe drivers
never take chances where children
are concerned.
1.-THE Keystone Automobile Club
also wishes to impress upon motor
vehicle operators the Importance of
with the School Safety
Patrols. The boys and girls who
constitute these patrols are doing
splendid work In accident prevention.
They are always on the alert to safe
guard fellow pupils. but their efforts
will be rhampered without complete
of motorists"

A few months ago it looked as II
there MIGHT be an Italian-Ethiopian
war. Now it looks as if there MUST
be. Pressure and argument by the
other great powers has not changed
Mussolinis determination a whit
and Ethiopia answers that she will
fight for her independence until her
last man has met death on the bat
tlefield.
Italy wants Ethiopia for one SIM
pie reason-natural resources. To-
day, Italy is dependent on foreign
supplies of raw cotton, oil, coal, iron,
copper. Lack of these national es-
sentials-which Ethiopia is supposed
to possess-is hampering Italy badly.
It's the old case of big nation
going after a small one when the
latter has something it can use.

his way will be paid out to en-

by the various states. The federal
act says that each employer employ

lie tax, blu. this can be altered as
the. states see fit. The act allows the
states a wide margin for setting up
their laws so that they fit the condi-
lions peculiar to each state, and also
allows tax-paying employers credit
ON the national tax of 80 per cent for
taxes paid into the state fund. In
addition it makes liberal allowances
to the states for financial aid In adj

In spite of the fact that the act is
considered of vast national import
ance there is some fear that 1t may be
held unconstitutional because of the
manner in which the federal govern
ment has directed the legislative
course of the various states and for
other possible reasons.

WOULD KEEP HITCH-HIKERS
OFF ROAD

Opinion among the members OF
the Governors Commission for Re-
codification of Motor Vehicle Laws is
unanimous for writing into the new
code a regulation keeping hitch
mixers of the roads, Preston D. Cal
lum, a member of the Commission,
said.
Several States already have adopt
ed this recommendation of the Ma
tional Street and Highway Confer
ence for checking hitch-hiking. Mary
land, however, has nothing on the
statute books dealing with the ride
seekers.
Mr.. Callum said that undoubtedly
when the rewritten code is presented
for legislative action 1t will have a
paragraph dealing with hitch-hikers.

tionnaire to local business folk SOL

ments and cosmetics. were favored
by e29 per cent and license taxes by

margin increased to II per cent.
