MIRACLE HOUSE CLOSES

The seventeenth season of the
Miracle House at Claiborne was
brought to close September End,
when nearly a hundred tanned and
healthy children returned to their
homes after spending the summer on
the Eastern Shore in quest of health.
The Miracle House, a tuberculosis
preventorium for Maryland children,
has for the past few months been the
host to 121 children from all over
the state. These children are from
homes that have been visited by
tuberculosis and in most cases the
children were greatly run down and
malnourished. During the summer
months at the Preventorium they
hardened their little muscles and
filled out their thin bodies. Every
child responded well to the treat
ment, some gaining more than ten
pounds. The largest gain made was
fifteen pounds.
This past summer 40 children
from the counties of the state attend
ed the Miracle House. These chill
dren represented IL counties.
The purpose of the Miracle House
is to take these children who are
susceptible to tuberculosis through
their contact with the disease, and
biuld up their resistances and
strength so that they might over
come any future infections. This is
accomplished by a regimen of play,
rest and sloop in addition to a plan
ned diet of health giving fruits,
vegetables and meats.
The Miracle House is operated by
the Maryland tuberculosis Associa-
ton and is supported by the annual
sale of tuberculosis Christmas Seals.

Telephony Continues Scientific
Research Child DR.. )ewett

Modern telephony, which enables all
but about per cent of the total estl-
mated 100000 telephones on the
plobe to be connected with any Bell
System telephone, is the child of organ
lied scientific research, according to
DR.. Frank B. Jewett, vice president
of the American Telephone and Tele-
graph Company, and president OF the
Bell Telephone Laboratories. Writing
in the Bell Telephone Quarterly, DR..
Jewett thinks that scientific research
is destined to continue in this status
for many years to come. Without ven
turing, he says, on the unsafe ground
of speculation as to what further re-
search in Fundamental science may
produce, it is known by telephone
scientists that there are still great
vistas of possibility for scientific re-
search in the field of telephony and
its sister services.
News Dissemination
Scientific research has developed
radio telephony so that ocean barriers
to speech have been destroyed, ana
likewise communication made possible
to and between ships, airplanes, and
all moving vehicles. 1t has developed
radio broadcast and initiated great
new industry in the realm OF dis
seninating news, music, and enter

simultaneous transmission of host OF
mountaineering messages over the
simple circuit which before it's advent
carried but single message and that
but poorly. Finally, 1t has made pos
sible the interconnection OF all these
services and in addition has given
birth to a great new industry where

duce results far exceeding the ex-

AND FIGURES
ON YOUR
TELEPHONE
BY
Mg,..4MW.

Telephone calls have increased per
cent in Maryland, Virginia, West Vir-
ginia and the District of Columbia in
the past year. Officials of the Chesa-
peake and Potomac Telephone Com.
pan report 100000 originating
callu4 Ne now being made each twenty
-four 'Jours. In Maryland there are
917 % daily calls, Virginia 1,112,-
900, West Virginia 625,000 and the
District of Columbia $4,000 calls.
Service improvements include more
calls being completed on the first at
tempt of the operator to reach the sub
scriber and a substantial decrease in
operating errors.
Quicker Service
During the past year more than 81
per cent of all local Bell System tele-
phone calls in the United States were
answered on the first attempt of the
operator as compared with about 81
per cent in 1929. Telephones reported
busy or not answered accounted for
nearly all of the calls not completed
Immediately. In the six years-1929
to 1885 nclusive-operating errors on
local calls throughout the country
were decreased 40 FER cent. On long
distance calls the average time re-
quired for completion of connections
was reduced from slightly less than
to IL minutes and all but 8 per
cent of such calls were handled while
the person calling remained at the
telephone as compared with 20 per
cent in 1929. AS a result of these and
other betterments, 750,000,000 tele-
phone calls or about three per cent of
the total calls made throughout the
country last year were handled with
much more satisfaction to telephone
users than would have been the case
six years previously.
Fewer Troubles
Improvements were not limited to
the service for 95 out of every 100
telephones were installed last year
under the practice of arranging with
the customer to place the telephone at
a definite time agreed on as compared
with 81 out of every 100 telephones
six years ago. Records show that SUBJ
scribers' lines and telephones were in
service without interference an aver
age of 1914 months as compared with
20 months. The percentage of troubles
cleared on the day reported was in
creased during the year from 81 to SO
per cent.

! The development of special diminu-
,tive-sized loud speaker apparatus by
the Bell Telephone Laboratories en-
ables groups of people widely separ-
ated to be united by what is known as
a conference telephone service. This
service, described by J. F. D. Hoge,
telephone laboratories engineer, en-
ables a telephone conversation to be
held simultaneously with several peo-
pie at one or both ends of telephone
line.
The equipment consists of small
compact loud speaker set, which is
housed in a wooden cabinet. The total
weight is approximately eleven pounds,
but it has sufficient sound output to
serve group of from rs to 100 people
under favorable room conditions.
Two forms of service are available,
according to Mr.. Hoge in the Bell Lab
oratories Record. In one, the telephone
| line may be connected to either the
telephone set or the loud speaker. This
service is more applicable where an
address of some length is to be received
over the telephone line during which
time it is not desired to use the line for
talking in the other direction. This
loud speaker set and associated appa-
ratus may be installed on permanent
basis or for temporary use as occasion
demands. Another connection may be
established so that two-way converse
tions can be held just as in everyday
telephone calls.
Conference telephone service with
the use of loud speakers has particu-
lar appeal to business executives who
wish to speak directly without change
or emphasis with groups of people.
Employees, for example, may hear the
executives voice directly as though he
were speaking to them personally. In
this way his personality and enthusi-
asm come to them just as if he were in
the same room. This type of loud
speaker was developed in 1888. and is
now widely used, according to tele-
phone officials.

WISE ECONOMY IN FEEDING Is
ADVICE TO DAIRY FARMERS

Feed is already high and probably
will go higher, SO this is a good time
to Gull the dairy herd, is the advice
of John A. Conover, dairy specialist
for the University of Maryland ex-
tension service. Good producers will
pay for their feed, he states, but the
poor ones will lose money for their
owners.
Mr.. Conover warns against trying
to save money by half feeding dairy
cows. More money will be made, he
says, by disposing of the low pro-
ducers and feeding the good cows to
capacity.
Dairy farmers are advised to watch
the feed market and buy the feed
that will furnish the greatest amount
of protein for the least money. This
feed can be combined with home
grown grains to make mixture suit
able for the herd.
On many farms there Is shortage
of hay, according to Mr.. Conover. In
such cases, he states, number of
weeds can be made into hay and
used to feed dry cows and young
stock. He mentions also that
temporary silo can be built, using
lath fencing and reinforced paper,
which will provide storage for addi-
tional silage. Legume crops, If en-
siled with from SO to 70 pounds of
molasses to the ton, will come out of
the silo in splendid condition, and
will help lower the feed bill, accord
ing to this specialist.
Suggestions for making up rations
can be obtained from Circular No. 9,
which may be had free of cost by
writing to the Extension Service at
College Park.

BANNER MONTH FOR CHEVRO.
LEyT

Detroit, Mich, Sept. 1O-August
went into the records as another
banner month for Chevrolet, accord
ing to an announcement made today
at the company's Offices here. Com
bined sales of cars and trucks were
95,905 units, the second-largest
August figure in Chevrolet's history.
Truck sales, reported at 23,249,
were the highest ever made in Aug
ust, and the second-highest ever
made in any month.
An additional highlight of the
dealers sales performance in Aug
ust was their sale of 165,197 used
cars, nearly 10000 units more than
they sold in August 1895. Used car
stocks nationally decreased 3,527
units in the last 10 days of the
month, and as this month opened
were more than 1900 units lower
than at the same date last year.

LEARNING THINGS

Boys and girls usually find the
hobby of learning things very inter-
esting for the more information one
has, especially on one certain sub
ject, the better prepared he is to dis
cuss that subject. Occasionally,
school teachers find that students
who learn quickly usually have a
good hobby at home, which gives
them freedom for direct thinking.
A few years ago Wilson Dillon
spent his spare time learning the
numbers of all the automobile license
tags in Preston and vicinity and
could give without hesitation the
name of the car owner of any tag
one might mention. Sounds simple
but what is the license number on
your own car? 1t is just matter
of concentration and retention. In
cidently, the students at the Uni
versity of Cairo in Egypt memorize
the entire Koran, which is the Mo-
hammedan Bible, much the same as
colonial American families held
learning sessions around the fireside.
A lot of things are involved in the
attitude of learning things. Among
them are interest, natural curiosity,
willingness, attention, action, the law
of readiness and the ability to con-
centrate.
Ones attitude toward learning
things can be improved by reading,
observing, doing things and listening.
A number of radio programs have
possibilities for creating interest in
learning things. Several are the
March of Time, Vox Pop and George
Denny's Town Hall.
OF course, desire is a vital factor
in any learning process which brings
to memory the struggle of Lincoln,
Wilson, Helen Keller, Holland B.
and numerous others.
There are, no doubt, persons in your
community whose desire for learning
has meant terrific struggle and
sacrifice though now they are reap
ing the rewards.
Learning is not confined to read
ing books but may be obtained from
and working on ma
chimes, problems in science, and the
of the language to
make it easy and interesting reading.
Most school students do not know
how to study or reason out problems.
little book is one book that
all students should read for ideas on
how to study. 1t is better to over
learn than to underlearn. The prin-
cipal key to learning things is asking
questions. While there is no closed
season on learning things as learning
is continuous process, the active
season for institutional transfer of
learning is opening up at this time.
Learn acknowledgements the
subject or machine-for retention
and application are the tests of learn
ing when these are thoroughly mixed
with common horse sense.
Learning things will be easy if
learning things is your hobby.
