Japan is the sixtieth foreign coun-
try to be connected by telephone with
the Bell System network. Of the total
3085O,0O0 telephones available for in-
terconnection, approximately 1885,
900 are in North America and AS, 900
in Japan and other Asiatic countries.
It is estimated that out of total of
80, 275,000 telephones in the world, 90
per cent may be interconnected.
The telephone channel connecting
Washington and Tokyo is about 5000
miles in length. This includes 100
miles of radio channel from San Fran.

Telephone Merchandising
Increasing Survey Shows
Annual Sales $5OOOOO Reported By Store With
Yearly Telephone Account .xx i

Merchandising by telephone has re-
ceived an added impetus with the an
nouncement that the two largest mail
order houses in the country-Mont-
gomery Ward and Co. and Sears,
Roebuck and Co.-are establishing
sales service departments where tele-
phone orders will be handled promptly.
That buying by telephone in depart
ment stores has been given much at
tention recently is brought out in an
article in the current Bell Telephone
Quarterly written by John M. Shaw,
general information manager Of the
Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Companies, operating in Maryland,
Virginia, West Virginia and the Dis
trict of Columbia.
The article shows that there are in
the United States about 1000 depart
ment stores handling something like
q billion orders during normal year.
At least one and one-half billion COM
munication transactions are involved
in the handling Of this volume of busi-
ness, which prompts Mr.. Shaw to ask
the question, "Why do not more people
use their telephones in dealing with
the department stores that serve
them? It is not because telephones
are not available to them, for tele-
phone is always closer to the buyer
than is the store itself. It is not be-
cause the stores lack delivery facil-
tiles, for their trucks ply the streets
Of all our cities on regular daily
schedules. And, strange as it may
seem, it is not because the shoppers
are reluctant to buy by telephone, for
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1935-02-01

such surveys as we have made among
the shoppers themselves, indicate a
preference for the telephone method
much wider than the use made of it."
Interesting facts brought out in the
survey show that in q series of nearly
$500 personal interviews with houses
holders-principally women-the ques-
ton was asked: "Do you use the tele.
phone for shopping or do you insist on
seeing most of the things you buy?"
Analysis Of the replies, Mr.. Shaw
says, indicates that some forty per cent
Of the telephone subscribers showed
willingness to shop by telephone.
In a city where the home telephone
development is in the high ratio of
about sixty per cent, 800 telephone
subscribers were asked the question,
"Do you like to shop by telephone?"
In this case, Mr.. Shaw states, the af-
firmative answer slightly outnumber-
ed the negative-404 of the house,
holders answering eyes" and 396I
answering "No."
Consideration naturally must bel
given to the cost of telephone equip
ment to handle an increased volumes
of telephone business Mr.. Shaw states.
Experience indicates, he says, that
this expense is more than offset by the
advantages that flow to the store in
other directions. One large store
whose annual expense for telephones
equipment alone amounted to about
$175,000 considers this an investment
of indispensable value to the stores
This is not surprising, when it is found
that the annual gross sales by tele-
phone amounted to about $4,000, 900.

TOR oyster lovers there is ex-
cellent news. The 1934-35
4 "set" of oysters have been
proclaimed the best since the ia
nous "set" of 1880. Good news,
also, for thousands of unemployed
is the fact that the oyster indus
try will, this year, employ $4,000
persons "a-sea and ashore"
Fortunately for oyster-lovers,
science has discovered that the
bivalve not only tastes excellent,
but is excellent for health. The
composition of the oyster is OF
such a character as to make 1t,
more nearly than most foods,
eelf-sufletent as diet. In this
respect it resembles milk and
needs but the ordinary ingredients
used in cooking - starches and
fats = to give it balance. An
oyster stew, for example, gener-
ously seasoned with butter and
accompanied by the usual bowl OF
oyster crackers is a perfectly bal
anced meal.
cenyenience of Canned Oysters
While the old theory that oy-
sters could be eaten only in
months with an r has been dis
credited, it is still a fact that they
are not generally available IN
other months, owing to the in
ferior taste of the oyster during
the season of spawning. With the
advent OF canned oysters-oysters
taken from the best waters at the
time they are fittest-it has be-
come possible to eat this excel

GOOD NEWS OYSTERS!

lent food all year round. This is a
long step from Roman days when
the oysters were shipped from
Britain and had to be packed in
sacks of snow, so that the shells
were held together, keeping the
oysters wet and fresh in their
own liquid. The convenience of
canned oysters has, no doubt,
added materially to the quantity
of oysters used.
Here are some delicious dishes
which can be made of canned
oysters:
A Stew and an Entree
Oyster Stea1: Scald three cups
of milk in a double boiler. Heat
the contents of 5-ounce can of
oysters to just below the boiling
point and add to the scalded milk.
Bind with one tablespoon of but
ter which has been rubbed to-
gether with one tablespoon flour;
season with one teaspoon salt and
a little paprika. Then add one
fourth cup of cream. Serve at
once with oyster crackers. This
serves four persons.
Oyster Entr6e: Drain the con-
tents of one 5-ounce can of oy-
sters and arrange in four but
tered fat shallow earthen rame-
kins, or in scallop shells. Mix one
cup of bread crumbs with one
tablespoon of minced parsley
two tablespoons butter, ene-half
teaspoon salt, few grains of pep
per, one-fourth teaspoon thyme

IND you ever toast your toes
before a big stove in an old
New England kitchen? II
you haven't, you don't know half
the joy of a morning of skating.
It's the thawing-out that's half of
the fun, and if we analyze the
charm of that old New England
kitchen, perhaps much of the Joy
of it came from the smell of good
foods baking for dinner.
In Little Brown Pots
Beans, of course, were foremost
among the foods which sent their
saucy-seasoned smell out so that
the world would know it was
bean day. Today, unfortunately,
there are not enough big home
like kitchens to go around, and
there's no room for them in mod
ern homes and apartments any
way. But the gods have FORUM
ately decreed that we are not to
go without baked beans-even II
we can't go to the cannery to
smell them baking. We can buy
them in cans, and If one happens
to have some little brown bean
pots, which cost almost nothing,
one can pack in these oven-baked
beans, put a thick slice of bacon
on the top and set them in even
the most modern oven, to sizzle
and brown a bit more. There are
other ways, too, worthy of these
good beans. For example:
In Tomatees-under Ham
Baked BEANS In Tomato Cases:
Cut off slices from the tops of six
large ripe tomatoes and scoop out
the centers, Dust inside with salt,
and brush with a tiny bit of pre-
pared mustard. Fill with a l.
pound LOUNGE can Of baked beans,
and sprinkle the tops with little
grated cheese. Bake for twenty
to twenty-five minutes in a 375
degree oven. Serves six persons.
Baked Beans aoith FriSsled
Ham: Turn beans from a No. 2
can of baked beans (preferably
without tomato sauce) into a bak-
ing dish, and pour over one-third
cup OF chill sauce. Heat in hot
oven. Meanwhile, frizzle six thin
slices of cold boiled ham in a hot
skillet, then lay on top of the
beans and serve at once. This
serves six PERSONS

 Fine Cooperation
 Fritz Klambt, chairman of the track and field meet of Naugatuck, sponsored by the Chamber of Com rnerce, was very much pleased with the splendid cooperation re- ceived by the committee and track With wonderful weather, after three postponements of last years meet, the events ran off in record time and without a hitch. Thanks to Sam Bristol and Lyman Bum nell who were responsible for the loud speaker system used at the field; to Peter Foley who had the track and field in wonderful con- dition; Ray Foley, whose capacity as clerk of the course was well filled; to the five officers. whose team work in keeping the crowd back, so no accidents would hap pen; to Bill Wood whose announce ing was one hundred per cent; to the Golf club for the use of jump- ing poles; to the police department for use of starting gun; to Paul Beardsley for furnishing the measuring tapes; to the Chemical Co.,, for the use of ropes; and to the officials-Edward Nolde, timer, Wm. J. Neary and Tom Neary, starters; Gordon Hobbs as judge; Ed. Bulinski for shot, discus and javelin; Kenneth Rapieff and Ed ward Bulkites as cheif scorer and publicity; Edward Kehoe on the pole vault, high jumping and broad jumping; Bill Plikaitis on the base ball; three-legged race, and ob- stacle race; Ross Donley on foot ball drop kicking; Bob Wood, Paul Touraneeau and Joe Tourangeau measurers; Dan Sweeney who is- sued the numbers; Albert Cox, Philip Warner and Fred Wiggles- worth who handled the entrance gate; David Dillon and Norman Gibbs, megaphone announcers and to Warden Sheridan, who issued all the prizes and gave a welcome hand to the winners.
 All in all, it was a great meet, and I am sure that Naugatuck can be proud of Its athletes, and of it's Chamber of Commerce who donated the prizes and made 1t pos- sible to have such meet.

FRENCH PONDER
 WEST AIR LINK
CIipperton Island Sug- gested for Ideal Seaplane
 Transatlantic Base

Paris (UP) The suggestion has been made here that Clipperton Island, tiny French possession in the Pacific for which no use here- tofore has been discovered, would base for a trans Pacific air route.
 The French are eager to link the Marquis Islands and other pos- sessions in Oceania by air, but so far difficulties in the way chief ly on account of the great length of necessary nonstop flights have forestalled any definite planning. It is pointed out now that one of the outstanding difficulties would be overcome If an airport were built on Clipperton Island.
 Such a route leading acros sthe Pacific from Mexico City by way of Clipperton, the Marquis Islands. Fiji and perhaps eventually Ma United States as well as France.
 Clspperton is only about two miles across at it's widest point and varies in width between mile and a half and two miles, but what makes 1t of interest to fliers Is the fact that in the midst of its barren coral surface is a broad, sheltered lagoon considered ideal as a land ing place.
 Clipperton is roughly 1000 miles by air from Mexico City, and 1t is figured that a feasible air route could bet set up by the construc- ton of one floating island between Clipperton and the Marquis. A floating island midway between them would make three legs ol about 1000 miles each from Mex leo City to the Marquis Islands. Continuing westward by way of Fiji, flier could reach Hong Kong. by way of Manila, without having to make flights over open sea any longer than these legs.

 Pretty Wedding Here
 A pretty local wedding was eel ebrated this morning at St. Francis church at 9 o'clock, Miss Martha Brandien of Scott street becoming the bride of Edward Hanley of Curtiss street. Rev. John J. Fitz- gerald, pastor, united the couple in marriage and celebrated the nup- tial mass which followed.
 Miss Mary Duffy served as bridesmaid and James Murphy acted as best man. The bride was sweetly dressed in a white lace gown with high collar and lace cap. She carried bouquet of white roses. The bridesmaid, also attractively attired, wore peach colored lace gown with accessories to match and carried pink tea ros- es. The couple are quite well known here and there was a large attendance at the church. A wedding breakfast was held at the Hotel Elton in Waterbury for the immediate families. The couple left on an unannounced wedding trip and will reside in Union City after October 1.
