POSTAL RECEIPTS
 ARE ENCOURAGING
September l935, Shows Large Gain Over Same
 Month in 1884

Another encouraging sign ap- peared to-day on the local business front when the Waterbury post office report for September, issued by Postmaster Charles Babin, showed an increase of 27 per cent over the same month last year. The total also represents an in- crease over Auugst, the previous montE of this year.
 The total receipts in September of this year were $41,489.71. while for the same month last year the receipts were to the amount of $32,649.S1.
 Postmaster Babin declared to- day that the large gain registered last month is an indication not only that postal business is better. but that general conditions in Wa terbury are continuing their firm upward trend.
 The September report and fig ures for the same month last year follow.

tune was inevitable. MuSSOl1nl now has transformed defiant talk into action. He has taken the fatal step and so braZenly defied world opinion and the great powers that it is inconceivable they can sit back and do nothing.
 The council of the league has been called into emergency ses- sion. There can be little doubt that Italy will be branded as an aggressor and outlawed by the league as the inevitable step to- ward application of penalties.
 Headlines Sadden
 Those who recall 1914 can only be saddened by looking at to-day's headlines. "War-Mobilizatio Troops Advance-Towns Bombed".
 The threat to European peace is real. Although it has not been announced, there are unmistakc- able signs that Britain and France have virtually agreed tc act to- gether.
 Britain has steadily resisted giv- ing France a blanket assurance that she will fight with France in any event of war against that na- ton. It is probable, however, that Britain can satisfy France by promising that if France is grossly attacked and the league finds the attacker the aggressor, she will ful- fill her pledges under the league covenant.
 Frances support is all that Bril-

LEAGUE TO HOLD EARNEST SESSION
 THIS SATURDAY
Italo Ethiopian Crisis Holds European Peace in Jeopardy
By WALLACE CARROLL { United Press Stan Correspondent) (CODyrivht 1885. United PresS)

(COpyrfghc 19SS, UniteO freSs)
 Geneva, Oct. B. (UP) = The League of Nations Council was convoked today for Saturday to deal with the gravest crisis in post war European history.
 No man at Geneva knew how long the peace of Europe could be preserved.
 Ethiopia in a telegraphed appeal to the league protested that Italian airplanes had bombarded Aduwa and that the Italian army had crossed the Mareb river southward into Ethiopia.
 Italy sent a note announcing that because of alleged aggressive mani- festations of Ethiopian warriors:
 "The Italian government has seen itself compelled to authorize the supreme command in Eritrea to take the necessary steps for de- fense."
 All league forces were mobilized at once. .E
 From all over Europe statesmen made hurried plans to fly to the league capital here.
 The problem that the league had to deal with, it was. asserted, was that of an undeclared war by d league member on league mem Der.
 Article XVI of the league cov- enant provides specific fearful penalties for such war when the tlggressor has been determined. Starting with moral pressure, the penalties range through an econ omic and financial boycott to final military penalties.
 Joseph A. ,Avenol, secretary gen. eral of the league, went into con- ference with Dr. Ehriquez Ruiz Guinazu of Argentina, president of the League Council, and urgent telegrams were dispatched to gov ernments convoking Saturdays meeting.
 It was believed the Council would meet as early Saturday morning as all members of the council could be assembled.
 The league assem bly, at which all nations of the league--nearly three score-are represented may bc convoked next week. It is tech nically in continuous session as the annual meeting was not formally ended last week because of the crisis.
 A member of the Council told the United Press that the idea had been advanced privately of asking the United States to dispatch an American diplomat or military off,

TELEPHONE INSTALLATIONS
ANNUAL AFFAIR IN JAPAN

If telephone subscribers in. this
country on applying for service were
told that installations were only al
lowed in June of each year as is the
case in Japan, serious complaints
would no doubt be made. This would
be especially true in Maryland, Vir-
ginia, West Virginia and the District
of Columbia, territory served by the
Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Companies where the average tele-
phone is installed within a few days
after the application is made.
Applications for telephone service
in Japan must be made during the
month of June, or the prospective SUBJ
scriber must wait for another year be-
fore the instrument will be installed.
The alternative is that he pay a pre-
MUM to secure a telephone already
serving another subscriber. The aver
age premium for telephone paid last
year, according to Telephony, was 700
yen, which is approximately $210.
Of those who apply for telephones
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise., 1935-03-29

in the Flowery Kingdom, only about
10 per cent in the country as a whole
are actually allowed to have instru-
ments installed. In the city of Toxic
last year, Of the approximately 10000
people applying to have telephone in
stallations made, only 1000 were
accepted.
Japan is now served by less than
100000 telephones. This means that
there arc about one and one-half tele-
phones for each 100 of the country's
population. In the United States the
ratio is IA telephones for each 100
people. Telephone and Telegraph
Statistics of the World shows that
there are about 81 telephone CONVEX
sations held annually for each person
as compared with 205 in the United
States. Toxic, the largest city, with
a population of 100000 is served by
$4,000 telephones. This is about the
same number of telephones serving
Washington, D. c., which has a popu-
lation of about 100000.

GU6 VOtCG W UHY UbOCCtOH'
Development of an improved loud
speaker capable of hurting the voice
through air with the force of a fifty
pound hammer blow is announced by
the Bell Telephone laboratories. This
new apparatus is 500 times more
powerful than previous speakers and
will make the human voice sound
louder than a clap of thunder. Over
flat terrain, in still air, it can project
Ineligible speech distance of sew
eral miles. Measured at the horns
mouth, sound is about 1000 times
louder than at the foot Of Niagara
Falls.
The new loud speaker not only car
ries sound over distances beyond the
reach of existing speakers, but will
penetrate noise which would drive out
the most powerful equipment hereto
fore available, telephone engineers
say.
Use of the new speaker is foreseen
by those who have seen it in operation
as an invaluable aid in directing
throngs of people either too vast or
in the presence of too much noise for
the present type of loud speaker to
be heard. Rescuing vessels at sea

just been completed under the super
vision of the British Post Office. This
cable is being used to supplement
telephone service between Scotland and
London and other towns in southern
and western England. The cable is
227 miles in length, according to For
eign Communications News.
A cable comparable in length, con-
Meeting Washington, D. c., and Bos-
ton, Mass, was placed in operation in
1914. Today about seventy-five per
cent of the cities of $4,000 or more
population in the United States are
connected by aerial or underground
cable.
Springfield, Tenn. Arrest by tel
ephone is an innovation inaugurated
by Sheriff Richard w. Benson, of
Robertson County. Having only three
deputies to cover the county, which
has a population of about $4,000,
Sheriff Benson has resorted to the
use of the telephone in notifying peo-
pie that they are under arrest. Up
to the time of publication of this state
ment in Telephony no one who had
been notified of his arrest by telephone
had failed to present himself at the

equipped with such apparatus could
below instructions to distressed crews
or to persons in lifeboats. In place
of the fog horns simple warning, the
use of this equipment would enable
the giving of spoken directions that
under such conditions would be most
helpful. Fire fighters within burning
buildings, deafened by the crackle of
flames could be directed by the giant
voice of this new instrument of
science.

where an audience estimated at
100000 people was able to hear the

phone lines carried the program of
this impressive ceremony to more than
