BELL TELEPHONE
SHIP-TO-SHORE
PHONE CALLS

Selective dialing of ships at sea,
development of the Bell TELEPHONE
Laboratories is a recent innovation on
ship-to-shore telephone calls.
Ship-to-shore telephone service was
inaugurated on a commercial basis
December 9, 1929, and since that time
has increased rapidly until more than
twenty vessels plying b etween the
United States and Europe are now
equipped for this service.
With the increasing use of ship-to-
shore radio telephone service, it be-
came evident, says the Bell Labora-
tories Record, that some method Of sig
mailing an individual ship was desirable
since in the beginning Of this service,
all ships were able to hear each indivi-
dual call which made it necessary that
other than the particular ship on
which call was being made remain
silent. Telephone engineers working
on this problem have now perfected
apparatus which provides for calling
single ship without the others hear
ing the call.
With this system developed, each
vessel equipped for ship-to-shore tele-
phone service has a three-digit num-
Der assigned to it, and when the trans
ocean operator wishes to place call
she merely dials the number of the
ship wanted. This dialing operation
sends out series Of tone pulses which
are received by all the ships within
range, but no audible signal is heard
except by the ship called. On the
particular ship wanted, a telephone
bell rings, and the operator plugs in
and answers in the usual answer.
This signaling system is also being
used by a number of coast-wise and
harbor craft and promises, according
to the Laboratories Record article, to
become applicable to wider field
than the one for which it was design
ed.

MORE FREQUENT
SERVICE BY THE
N.Y.P. and MR..

The New York, Philadelphia and
Norfolk Railroad Ferry Company an
nounces additional service between
Cape Charles and Old Point Comfort
to be operated by the steamer "Vir-
GINA Lee" effective with the Spring
change of Timetable, April 26, 1886.
This additional service provides for
the ''Virginia Lee" to leave Cape
Charles at 1920 P. M, arrive Old
Point Comfort at 2:05 P. M, leave
Old Point. Comfort at 2:1O and arrive
Cape Charles at 400 P. NJ, and has
been made necessary by the increased
travel between points on the Eastern
Shore and points in the Tidewater
area, also by the tourist travel en-
route to Williamsburg, Yorktown,
Jamestown, Richmond and the many
other historic shrines throughout the
Old Dominion.
The sailing time of this additional
service is particularly advantageous
to the tourists as it permits of their
landing on either side of the Chesa-
peake Bay at time when there still
remains many hours of daylight in
which to reach their destination,
and provides for a pleasant crossing
of the Bay at time when the aver
age tourists welcome restful break
in the days travel.
To the patron who crosses the Bay
for business purposes it provides a
particularly attractive service with a
saving of many hours over that prev
iously required for the trip.
The excellent dining and lunch room
service on this steamer is well known
to the regular patrons and the tour
list or occasional traveller will undoubt-
edly find it pleasant and attractive.
The steamer is also equipped with
spacious and comfortable staterooms
which are available for single cross
ings or for overnight use at Cape
Charles.
Full schedule of sailings may be
found in advertisement appearing on
another page of this issue.

CHAUTAUQUA, N. Y-. Aug. 25. - Gov. Alfred M. Landon, in a politi- cal address here, said the wide spread use of the machinery of the Federal government is used to main tain the present Administration in power" and represented danger" to An erican Education, adding, Today, both at home and abroad men are striving for power through the leadership of mob.'
 The Republican Presidential nom- inee, told the audience at the birth place of the Chautauqua movement, because of this, I believe our edu- cators should make more than a normal effort to see that our youths are given background of our her. itage, and tradition and funda- mental understanding of the form of government If this be done, we need have no fear of allowing our youth to study any and all sys- tems of government to which their curiosity leads them, as only through ignorance or bigotry can we be de- stroyed."

NEW CLUE FOUND IN MYSTERY UP SHEEP OK. TRAIL
Cap with Matted Blonde Hair as if Congealed with
 Blood Is Uncovered

Who is William s. Arms, Jr.?
 If he is alive, where is he now?
 If he was murdered, who com mitted the crime and where in the Sheep Creek Basin are his bleach ing bones?
 If he is alive, why did he hid some of his belongings, several per sonal ones, under a stump and never go to reclaim them?
 Is it murder, a strange disappear ance, or what?
 The situation arises from the discovery last Sunday. under a stump about three miles up the trail from Thane on the road to Camp 6, of ice creepers, a cap, mittens, bank deposit book, me- chanic's engineering pocketbook with gold lettering William s. Arms, Jr," and containing news paper clippings of dates of 1913 and 1914 celluloid calendar for 1914-1915, engineers protractor and polygraph. The discovery of the cache, buried in the winter of 1914 or 1915, it is believed, was made by Mrs Gus George.
 Find Cap
 Yesterday afternoon further mys- tery was added by the finding of an additional cap, with what ap- pears to be blonde hairs, matted as if caused by congealed blood. Perhaps the victim was dealt a killing blow over the head and the cap tossed aside when the body was dragged to an obscure place. Before hiding the body, the pockets could have been rifled of valuables, such as money or jewellery, and the be- longing discovered by Mrs. George, punched and secreted under the stump where found. This is all only a possibility.
 The cap and hair are today under going thorough analysis in the laboratory of the Juneau Medical and Surgical Clinic. The analysis may reveal something pertinent to the case, or it may be an elusive clue.
 If it is a strange case of disap- pearance, why were the personal belongings hidden and not burned?
 The bank deposit book showed deposits of over $3,O00 in the Pull mas County Bank at Quincy, Cali fornia. The Empire is making in- quiries regarding the deposit, if it was ever taken out or if it re- mains.
 OIdtimers Interested
 Oldtimers are interested in the mystery. Mrs. Crystal Snow Jenne and Mrs. H. s. Graves today said the name of Arms is familiar but they cannot make positive con- nection.
 This forenoon another oldtimer came into The Empire office and at first it appeared he had an im- portant clue.
 T remember in 1915 that two men, working on the Alaska Gas tinueau project, went down the beach, only one came back" And then the oldtimer grinned sheep ishly and said: Hell, that case was cleared up. The one who came back. if remember rightly, was tried and convicted for murder. The body of the victim was found the next day on the beach, behind & log. Nope, that does not explain the Arms case" and he left the office quietly, chagrined.
 No Records
 There are no records in either the United States Marshal's office nor the United States Commission CTS office dating back to 1914 or 1915 to give any clue.
 Perhaps the California bank, if it is still in existence, may give some enlightening information, or
