AUTO CLUB WANTS ALL ACCI.
DENTS REPORTED

Proposal of the Keystone Automo.
bile Club Of Maryland for enactmen.
of law requiring the reporting Of
all motor vehicle accidents, no mat
ter how slight, has been accorded
enthusiastic support of the Club
membership, according to analysis of
letters received in response to invi-
tation for comments on the plan.
This is announced in the current
issue of Keystone Motorist, official
Club publication, which says 1.-THE re-
action to the safety proposal is over
whelmingly favorable one"
The proposal is that every accident
be reported, to the end that motor
vehicle authorities can act promptly
and effectively in removing unfit and
accident-prone drivers from the list
of licensed operators. In Pennsyl-
vania the present law sets an arbi-
trary property damage minimum of
$50 under which accidents need not
be reported. In New Jersey the
minimum is $25. and in Maryland
the law does not even require the re-
porting of accidents, regardless of
the amount of property damage. un-
less personal injury is involved.
1t is commended by the Club chat a
study Of the "how, when and why"
of accidents is essential If an effec-
tive drive is to be made against un-
safe drivers. 1t is further contend
ed that the maiR signiasaass ~ aaz

ONE SIXTH OF TOTAL BELL TELEPHONES
SERVE ONE-TWELVE HUNDREDTH OF u. S.

9,183,000 telephone conversations or
about 382,625 calls each hour. Out
of-town calls average about 100000
daily and, according to telephone
officials, the general total of calls has
doubled in the past fifteen years.
New York City contributes about
seventy-ive per cent of the total calls,
averaging during the year about
eighty calls each second throughout
the day. During heavy business ac-
tivity calls have reached peak of 100
each second.
Telephone service in New York City
originated as the result of a demon
stration given by Alexander Graham
Bell, the inventor, May II, 1877. Fol-
lowing this demonstration system
of private telephone lines was estab-
lished in the several sections of the
city, but these private lines did not
fill the requirements and the newly
formed telephone company of New
York was acquired by Theodore N.
Vail, later president of the American
Telephone and Telegraph Company,
who together with his associates or
ganized the Bell Telephone Company
of New York. This company started
an exchange service in the summer of
1878 and in September of that year
printed telephone directory, the first
issued in New York City containing
271 listings. At that time numbers
were not used. Calls were made by
giving the operator the name of the
subscriber wanted. This company was
the predecessor of the New York Tele-
phone Company, which now serves
New York City and the greater part
of the state.
As an indication of the growth Of
the telephone industry in this. the
greatest Of American cities, it is in
teresting to know that to serve tele-
phone users the company now issues
nine directories, including classified
books of business listings. There is
one book for each of the various
boroughs comprising the city.

RISING SUN HIGH SCHOOL
BY THE JOURNALISM CLUB
Editorial

The Importance of Industrial Arts
in the school is often doubted. Like
Home Economics, many people think
that this course of study is of no use
to the pupil who takes it.
Industrial Arts is interesting work
to all biys. What boy doesn't like
to go around with a hammer, pound
ing on anything he comes to. At
school this course teaches you to
make some useful project. Many
boys have talent in carpentry or
electricity.
In the freshmen and sophomore
classes the boys have five required
projects to work on. They are
Drawing, Electricity, Woodworking,
Sheet Metal, and Cold Metal.
The junior boys have their choice
of three Of these required projects.
In the senior class the boys have
their choice of two of the five re-
quired projects.
When the required work is COM
pleted optional projects may be
worked on. Many useful articles are
made by the boys. Some of them
are lamps, bookcases, smoking
stands, tables and many other useful
articles.
The training you receive In this
department may help you In your
life-work. 1t is also useful in help
ing you TO do odd jobs around home.

hope he is recovering fast and will

speedy recovery Fred.

GODS HONOR ROLL
Evangelist John Moses Baker
Baltimore, Maryland.

Evangelist John Moses Baker
Baltimore, Maryland.
God does not trust His Honor Roll
In any human hands,
He guards and keeps them sacred;
In the quiet of the shadows always
stands.
Their names are precious in His
sight.
His watchful love and care,
Is over and around them all,
In stormy days and fair.
We cannot always understand:
Nor tell the reason why,
But we can trus: and rest secure,
When storm clouds sweep the sky.
Some day when Lies loom is silent,
And the shuttles all are still,
Then we'll understand it all,
In the city of lions holy hill.

Faith leads US on to victory,
And never knows defeat.

With spires stately and grand;
