New Britain, Conn.-Teaching chill.
dren how to use the telephone has been
beneficial in innumerable cases. This
knowledge stood the mother of little
girl well recently when out in her
back yard she looked up and saw her
small daughter trying to get out of
an open second story window. Realiz-
ing instantly that the little girl liked
to answer the telephone, the mother
called "Will you answer the telephone
for mother?" The little girl imme
diately got down from the window
and ran to the telephone, while the
mother rushed upstairs to close the
window. Members of the family who
had previously laughed at the mother
for teaching her small daughter how
to use the telephone now applauded
her thoughtfulness, since in this in
stance the child's knowledge and her
willingness to answer the telephone
for her mother probably saved her
life.
Washington, D. CA little girl six
years old probably saved her mothers
life by calling the police. On noticing
that her mother had fallen into a
coma and did not respond to the child's
attempt to waken her, the little girl
ran to the telephone and screamed to
the operator: 81 want cop. Mothers
been hurled" The operator connected
the child with a police station where
she asked the officer answering ga re
you a cop?" and told him to hurry
over to her home at once. eyes, but
where are your"
Fright here on this telephone"
"But where is the telephone? Where
do you live?"
81 don't know"
The police continued talking to the
child while the call was being traced
by the telephone supervisor.

Fire ranger Richard Roe receives
orders from has supervisor the quick
est qUay-by telephone.
Telephone service, for many years
the main communication system OF
the United States Forest Service, has
been greatly increased with the con-
struction of more than 5000 miles
of additional line by the Federal
Emergency Relief Administration and
the Citizens Conservation Corps.
These telephone lines, added to the
approximately $4,000 miles previous
ly in service, connect up more than
1000 lookout stations, rangers head
quarters and guard stations through
out the nearly 500 million acres of
forest lands in the United States.
Forest service telephone lines, ac-
cording to F. A. Silcox, chief of For
est Service at Washington, tie in with
telephones operated by the associated
Bell System, connecting and independ-
ent companies, serving the supervis-
ors' and regional headquarters offices
throughout the country, comprising a
great communication system that is
invaluable in forest fire protection and
in the operation of the forest acreage.
Forest service officials unhesitat-
ingly acclaim the activities of the civil
ian conservation workers, who have
done so much in the past two years
to clean up fire hazards.
Forest lands, according to Mr.. Sill
cox, make up today almost one-third
of the total land area of continental
United States. This emphasizes the
fact that the economic and social well
fare of the nation is vitality involved
in the wise use of the national and
state forests.
The fundamental purpose of public
conservation is to make the huge for
est empire contribute with security
and stability to the permanent sup
port of it's fair share of the country's
population. The proper method of
bringing this about, Mr.. Silcox states,
is to stop exploitation, secure forest
lands, and see that they are kept
productive by improving and develop
ing forest properties for future gen.
erations.

31,100,000 may be connected with any
Bell System telephone. Worldwide
telephone communication now reaches
more than sixty countries and geo.
graphical locations on six continents.
This transocean service was inaugu-
rated January z, 1927, between New
York and London. Within a short time
the service was extended to the prin-
cipal cities of continental Europe,
South and Central America and the
West Indies.
Within the past year or two service
has been extended to Hawaii, the
Philippines and late last year to

HENRY NEVILLE
 IN HOSPITAL AS
 RESULT OF FALL
Fire Department, Polic e and Ambulance Called
 Out on Sunday

Henry Neville, aged 25, was taken to St. Ann's Hospital yesterday af- ternoon for treatment of a broken leg, when a motorcycle which he was riding on Willoughby Ave, struck some loose gravel and over turned and plunged to the beach.
 Neville was somewhat scratched and bruised by his fall but his frac- tured leg is considered to be the cnly serious injury. Shortly after the accident the fire department was summoned. The fire truck closely followed by the police car, arrived very soon after the alarm had been given. An ambulance was summoned and Neville was taken to the hospital.
 D. B. Femmer, picking raspberries in his garden, witnessed the acci- dent and telephoned the Fire De- partment. He says in less than a minute and half the boys were on the scene rendering aid.
