10000 in 1888. In 1884 there were
1888 calls made by users of the
service of the associated Bell Tele-
phone Companies and their connect
ing companies. Last year there were
1907 calls across the Atlantic, 1912
to South and Central America, Ber-
muda and the Bahamas, 1,452 across
the Pacific and 2,842 between vessels
plying between the old world and the
new.
With the Inauguration of telephone
service to Japan early in December,
there were sixty countries or geo.
graphical areas on six continents with
which conversations could be held by
telephone users in this country.
In addition to the new circuit con-
Meeting Japan, a radio telephone cir
cult established across the Pacific in
1884 affords direct contact between
Bell System telephones and Java,
which previously was reached through
London and Amsterdam. Additional
countries reached over existing tele-
phone radio circuits include Syria,
Tunisia, Algeria, French Morocco and
French Indo- China. Service was also
extended to additional points in Brazil,
Colombia, India, Palestine and Egypt.
Only three countries in the world
with more than 100000 telephones
each-Russia, China and New Zealand
cannot be reached by telephone from
this country.

Telephone Warning
Saves Plane Crash

A telephone call made to Ray w.
Brown, veteran Army and civil flyer,
probably was the means recently of
saving his life. Brown, according to
the Washington Evening Star, had
taken off from Akron, Ohio, for
Columbus. Tuning in almost imme-
diately on the Federal Department of
Commerce Always radiotelephone sta
ton at Cleveland to receive the regu-
lar one o'clock weather broadcast, he
was startled to hear this warning:
calling Ray Brown in Lockheed
NC 539M. Your landing gear is gone.
Calling Ray Brown in Lockheed NC
539M. You have lost your right
Wheel"
Leaning out of his compartment,
Brown discovered that one of the
shock struts and the wheel were dang
ling in the air, so that an effort to
land his fast plane, which had to be
set down at very high rate of speed,
meant an almost certain crash.
He thought of attempting a water
landing in the Portage Lakes south
west of Akron but, deciding that an
emergency crew would be waiting at
Akron with fire extinguishers and
emergency equipment, he headed back.
AS he sideslipped the plane in for a
gingerly landing, the broken strut
slipped back in place and held just
long enough for him to get in safely,
where a normal landing would have
been impossible.

WARS ON BANK ROBBERS
National Bankers Association
Pressing Active Steps to
Protect Members
Losses Cut

Imprisonment or death of many des-
perate bank criminals the past year has
brought no appreciate reduction in at
tacks on banks, James E. Baum, in
charge of the American Bankers Asso'
citation Protective Department. has re-
ported to his organization.
In the six months ended February 28,
1885, he says, banks were targets for
1863 daylight holdups and 40 night bur-
glaries. He added that although banks
that are not members number only
about half those enrolled in the asso-
citation, they suffered far greater rate
of attack, namely. 81 per cent OF all the
bank robberies committed during the
period.
Losses Show Decrease
During the period under report, bank
burglars and bandits exacted tribute
amounting to $943,551 compared with
losses totaling $1,257,00 year ago, he
said. This reduction in losses Is attrib'
uted to the time-locking restrictions
and other limitations in the exposure OF
surplus cash imposed last year by
underwriters and several bank super
visory authorities.
The sharp reduction in the material
loss of money and securities resulting
from bank robbery this year was "over-
Swallowed by the killing Of bank en-
ployees, one bystander and 5 arresting
officers" and since last August bank

tricGI artificial lGrynT.
An electrically operated artificial
larynx, a development of the Bell Tele-
phone Laboratories, is now undergoing
exhaustive tests to eliminate any de-
fects that may result before manu-
featured on a commercial scale.
Speech produced by the new cleo
trical larynx will be essentially the
same as that produced by the earlier
reed type which was also develop
ment of the Bell Telephone Labora-
tories. In the earlier design the reed
which serves for the larynx is oper-
ated by air pressure either from the
lungs or from hand-operated bellows.
In the new device the reed is cleo
trically operated by current from a
small dry battery which can be car
ried in pocket or purse.
A short rubber tube conveys the
tone of the reed to the mouth of the
user where it is modulated by the lips
and the tongue to produce speech.
Several hundred of the reed-type
larynges are now being used quite
effectively by people who have had
their vocal cords removed through
operations.

Now The Fun Besins

Now that the State Motor Vehicle De- partment has practically finished its task of checking up the cars that are being operated in this state, the fun of seeing just how many motorists successfully passed the several tests will start Ample warning has been given all drivers to see that their qualification slips are carried in their cars. Any day now you may be asked to produce your certificate of ap- proval, so be prepared.
 The best thing to do is to carry the ap- proval slip furnished when the motor vehi- cle was given its final check-up in your registration folder. In that way you will be protected at all times and be prepared if by chance you should be among those Jagged to the roadside some day by a department inspector. Motorists may grumble about this, but where the safety of many people is concerned, we don't think the complaints can be justified. It may put somebody out to be forced to stop to show their approval card, but that one stop might mean several lives saved.
 After all the state is conducting these periodical tests of motor vehicles solely to protect the lives of Connecticut resi- dents. Too many times has 1t been shown that faulty equipment was the cause of a fatal accident. If the check-ups that the state is conducting and will continue to conduct can prevent similar accidents, they are well worth the time and trouble. And if the state demands that every car owner display evidence that he or she has had the automobile checked, it is solely in the interests of each and every one of us. We should cooperate to the fullest extent
