Telephones in the forest are great
actor in caring for babes in the woods
and older people as well. Toward this
end the Forest Service is constantly
adding telephone lines and instruments
to it's communication system as more

Universal telephone service, the
dream of pioneer men and women
since the first connection was estab-
lished between Alexander Graham
Bell, the inventor, and Thomas A.
Watson, his assistant, March 10, 1876,
is more and more nearing reality.
Telephone communication today
reaches nearly 70 countries and geo.
graphical locations on the six conti-
nents of the world, with so billion
calls annually. Of the total calls about
25 billion are made between users of
the service in the United States where
there are more than half of the total
telephones in the world.
In this country there are about 1917
telephones for each 100 Of the 1885,
100000 population, which is over six
times the corresponding telephone de-
velopment Of Europe, according to the
Bell Telephone Quarterly. Canada
continues second in development with
IL telephones for each 100 people.
Denmark has 1921 telephones and
New Zealand 1920 for each 100 of its
population. In no countries other than
these four are there more than one
telephone for every ten inhabitants.
Major European countries rank low in
relative telephone development.
Great Britain has only SOC tele-
phones for each 100 of its population,
which is tenth in rank among the
countries of the world. Germany has
more telephones than any other coun.

Prime Minister Baldwin and other min

foreign secretary, appeared before the
house Of commons and declared any
attack on France or Belgium In viola

Britain to go to their assistance. He
added, however, that there was no
reason to suppose the present German
action implies a threat of hostilitles.'
Then he indicated Britain was willing
to consider Hitler's proposals for new
peace covenants.
The British statesmen seemed so
calm in the crisis that there was rea-

what Hitler intended to do. When
