Ken MURRAY
Says:

Did you send your income
tax in yesterday. You know
that is the day when the Sec
retary of Treasury sings: 81 Get
a Check Out of YOU
It seems like most of us just
about manage to make both
ends meets. when the Gov
ernment comes along and clips
off the ends.
We waste a lot of time in
figuring out those tax reports
and then, most of them are no
more reliable than any other
"fOrtune-telIer."
So REMEMBER:
Untold wealth is that which
does not appear on the income
tax reports.

ALEXANDRIA, VA:

In every. one of us there Is an
inherent spirit Of curiosity, If
not deep sealed reverence for
the accomplishments Of an in
terror decorator who succeeds
in turning out a house that is
outstanding in its unuSualness
and originality. Over in historic
and quaint Alexandria right
down on the water front is a
house well worth the trip to in
Spect. In my limited space, I
can only tell you of few of the
interesting features. The living
room is most attractive with its
walls Of bottle green making a
most charming background for
the unusual antique pieces Of
furniture that have canary yel-
low as the predominating color.
Deep yellow drapes swept the
floor and add touch that was
exquisite. The fireplace was
white marble heavily carved and
came from an old house built
many years ago. Through a
French door you step out onto a
porch that overlooks a quaint
old garden reminiscent Of days
when George Washington held
sway in Alexandria. At the rear
of this garden are the old slave
quarters which could be utilized
for many purposes. From the
front bedrooms you have the in.
spring view of the Potomac that
is so thrilling one wants to for
get time and linger indefin-
itely. The house consists of liv.
ing room, dining room, modern
kitchen. five bedrooms, upstairs
sitting room and two baths that
are modern, yet retain the orig
tnality Of size generally found in
houses of Revolutionary times.
This house has Oil heat and
m many modern conveniences.
When I tell you that this house
Is a very old one and that a
young man assisted by his
mother succeeded in turning it
into a most charming and de-
lightful home, 1 know you will
want to see it. Get in touch
with me if you are interested. I
will be glad to furnish you with
more details. Rental is $3.50 on
a yearly lease.

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-five 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 a peak of 100
each second.
Telephone service in New York City
originated as the result of 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. !

Fluctuations of friendship between
the United States and Japan, the sug
gestion by the Japanese ambassador
at Washington to the American am
bassador at Tokyo that he improve his
golf, and the unexpected greeting,
Hello, Daddy" of Mrs. Pierpont
Moffett to her father, Joseph c. Grew,
Ambassador of the United States to
Japan inaugurated telephone service
between the two countries.
The exchange of greetings was held
in the State Department at Washing
ton and in the Telephone Headquarters
Building at Tokyo. Secretary of State
Cordell Hull extended greetings to the
Japanese Minister of Foreign Affairs
Koki Hirota, expressing the thought
that "This new means of communi
cation which we inaugurate today
spans the v de ocean as an additional
link between our peoples. 1t is my
hope that by furthering the inter-
change of ideas and of commerce,
which play so important part in the
relation of states, radiotelephone serv-
ice will be of great mutual benefit to
our two nations"
Mr.. Hirota in reply said to Secre-
tary Hull, II am exceedingly happy to
express my sincere congratulations
upon the Inauguration of the radio
telephone service between America
and Japan and to reciprocate the
spirit Of coxdiality Of which you have
just spoken"
The Japanese Ambassador at Wash
ington, Mr.. Hirosi Saito, in speaking
with Ambassador Joseph C. Grew at
Tokyo, wished him much success in
business and ian improvement in his
golf.'

bassador Grew, who was present at

was then also in Tokyo. In this way,
Mrs. Moffett became the first woman
to speak by telephone between the
two capitals.
Judge Eugene o. Sykes, chairman
of the Federal Communications Com
mission, in speaking with Mr.. Take
jiro Tokonami, Minister of Communi-
cations expressed his appreciation of
"the opportunity at this opening of
service of extending greetings from
the Bell System to the Telecommunica-
tions Bureau of the Government of
Japan and to assure you that we look
forward to long and happy associa-
ton in which, we trust, we can to-
gether usefully serve the people Of
the two nations" Mr.. Tokonami, in
felicitating the opening of telephone
service, said: II earnestly hope that
this radiotelephone service will wide
ly and freely be used, it's functions be
displayed to the fullest degree, and
thus contribute to promote the welfare
of and friendship between the two
peoples"
Arthur W. Page, vice president of
the American Telephone and Tele-
graph Company, was master of cere-
monies at the Washington end Of
the circuit with Mr.. Seichi Shindo,
director general of Telecommunica-
lions for Japan, in charge of the cere-
monies In Tokyo.
Japan is the sixtieth foreign coun-
try to be connected by telephone with
the Bell System network. OF the total
30,850, 900 telephones available for in
terconnection, approximately 1885,
900 are in North America and 445,00
in Japan and other Asiatic countries.
It is estimated that out of total of
33,275,O00 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 $500
miles of radio channel from San Fran
cisco across the Pacific to Tokyo.

The difficulty of inventing the name

not belong to at least one person out

There is hardly any combination Of

All spiders possess a pair Of poison

the contrary that have arisen in con-

give rise to local Inflammation and

Suffice it to say that the argument
that we will not get involved in Euro
pean affairs by joining the Court and
rendering advisory opinions needs a
whole lot of proving before it even
looks plausible. The only safe way to
keep out of European entanglements
is to stay at home and mind our own
business.

solidly against US on certain ques
tions, such as the Monroe Doctrine,
international debts, immigration, etc.,
would "settle" American issues in
which they had no business. Space
here is too limited to discuss that pos
sibility, although it is we'll known to
those who have studied the League
and the League Court.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1935-01-31

Of course, it may be maintained,
after rendering the advisory opinion,
we will not have to help to enforce it
if we don't want to, because we have
no membership in the League. Can
you imagine what sort of embarrass-
ing position such an incident would
place US in? We help to render an ad-
visory opinion and then refuse to do
our part to help enforce it? 1t is easy
to visualize what cry would go up
from Europe if we should take any
such position. In assisting to render
an opinion, they would shout, we are
morally and officially bound to help
enforce it. Else what business have
we got there in the first place? They
called us Shylocks because we refused
to cancel the billions of debt which
Europe rightfully owed us and agreed
only to cut it in two. Can you guess
what sort of names they would take
pleasure in thinking up and hurting at
US if we should default on our own
opinion after rendering it? The fact
that it was a purely European prob
lem in which we had no interest would
not make any difference. They would
Immediately call attention to the fact
that we were over there anyhow. And
