BISHOP FREEMAN
MEASUREMENTS
Appeals for Progress in
Harmony With American
Traditions.

Pleading for preservation OF the
"old landmarks" of the past, Right
Rev. James E. Freeman, Bishop OF
Washington, speaking at the Uni
versity of California at Berkeley yes
terday, warned the Nation against
overconfidence in experimental rem
edies for social ills.
The bishops appeal for progress
in harmony with American tradi-
tions was part of his address at the
annual charter day exercises of the
university at which he received an
honorary degree of doctor of laws.
Others similarly honored were Ger
trude Atherton, historian and novel,
list; NielS Bohr, director of the In
stltute of Atomic Research at Copen-
hagen; Max Farrand, librarian of the
Huntington Library at Pasadena, and
Charles Henry Purcell, California
State engineer.
Five thousand persons heard Bishop
freeman declare that "the found
ing fathers" might be men of the
sloW-moving horse and buggy age"
but their efforts produced what we
have of wealth, genius and increas-
ing power"
The bishop criticized the new and
strange doctrines, some of them utter
ly alien to our political system" which
he said ARE being pressed with all in
slstence." He urged his hearers to
"aVow our belief that flexibility in
systems is indispensable to wholesome
growth" ;" and insisted I'VE have this
f1eXibility under the Constitution, as
our history discloses."
Legatees of Tradition.
What has cobe to us out of the
past" the bishop said, consists of
something other than a great state

| feet and held out her hand. Well, thanks lot for sparing me all this time, Pearl Pierre. You don't mind my calling you that do you?" Her black eyes looked up at him from under sweeping lashes. T want you to. Angelique," he replied, holding her fingers sud- denly very tight. You're the most beautiful, most human thing that has come to brighten Thun- der Mesa for many moons. I'm glad the Etorm did prevent your going away and leaving us to our gloom again"
 As he made this gallant speech, for a moment they both forgot that other orninous reason why they were all there in the house and could not leave. Then 1t came back with all It's chilling significance and once more the specter of Pearl Sam's myster- ious death laid it's cold hand upon them.
 The rest of the day passed with out anyone coming along the trail, and, after tiresomc evening, goodnightS were said. Bob man. aged to have a few words with Betty just before she left, and, in the shadow of the hall, he said earnestly, Don't forget I'm ready to help you if you need it. I hate to think of you shut up alone with that old lady"
 Thanks, but you needn't wor- ry," she answered. "I'll be all right" She smiled at him over her shoulder as she walked away.
 But in spite of her assurance, he did not retire. Instead he sat walt ing, though he did not know why.
 Then soft footsteps came down the corridor, and he sprang up and opened the door carfeully. What he saw made him gasp. Pearl Pierre was holding Angelique in his arms. So the old boy did have red blood in his veins, after all
 After a minute Angelique vert into her room and de Forest walked rapidly down the hall, quite uncon- scious that Angeliques door had not stayed closed. She was following him stealthily. Bob watched as she slip- ped behind column and waited until Pearl Pierre had unlocked a door and disappeared. It was the door with the lions head knocker. Why was Angelique 50 interested and what lay behind that closed door?

THE eT0RY aO RAR

The gniety ef the Christmas party at Thunder Mesa" the de Forest hacienda in New Mexico,
 has . tragic ending when PEARL SAM DE FOREST, oldest of three brothefS, is found dead with . knife in his throat.
 Each of the de Forest brothers has the first name Pearl" As 2 family they cling t0 traditions, seldom see outsiders. PEARL JOHN is the youngest brother, PEARL PIERRE next. Others at the house are: TANTE JOSE PHINE, old and an invalid; BET TX WEIGH, her young cOmpan- ion; RAMON vASQUEZ, and AN- GELIQUE ABEYTA, guests at the party; PROFESSOR SHAW arch eologist; and BOB GRAHAM, tire salesman stopping at the hacienda until his ear is repaired.
 The body of Pearl Sam, placed in the house chapel disappears. Bob hears Tante Josephine, in . hysterical outburst, accuse each of the remaining brothers of Pearl Sam's murder.
 Professor Shaw tells Ramon that Thunder Mesa" Is built on the foundation of an ancient In- dian pueblo. Ramon ard Angsh- que see Pearl Pierre poking about the embers of the burned Christ mas greens. Later they investigate the embers, discover that the body of Pearl Sam has been burned.
 Back at the hacienda Tante Josephine goes into another hys- terical outburst.
 NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-01-05
CHAPTER XIV

Lunch was a silent and dismal affair, with the hysterical cries of Tante Josephine still echoing through the house, though now to a lessening degree. Pearl Pierre ap- peared in time to take his place at the head of the table, as usual. Oddly enough, he seemed in no way disturbed by anything that had himself looking curiouSly at Pearl Pierre and marveling at the cool Composure with which he directed the servants in serving the meal.
 At last quiet was restored in the old lady's room, and Betty, looking very weary, came into the dining room. Bob immediately sprang to his feet and led her to 3 place next to his, and the con- verSatioh about the table became more normal. Only once did any, one make any mention of the Cauae of Tante's mysteries. Pearl Pierre looked at Betty a nd asked her casually if smoke was still blowing over from the edge of the mesa.
 T ordered some trash burned away from the house." he ex- plained. The last time 1t was put in she house fireplace and we almost had a blaze on the roof, so I made 1t rule to burn things on the edge of the mesa. I didn't expect 1t would annoy Tante as it did"
 She's all right now" Betty told him. and then resumed her con- versation with Bob and nothing more was said about the smoke.
 Ramon noticed that Angeliquc managed to wait for Pearl Pierre as they walked out of the room, and he heard her trying to per- guade the older de Forest to play Q game of billiards with her.
 Its 50 good for you to relax for 8 few minutes after meals, MT. de Forest" she coaxed with her flashing smile. You've hardly taken time for word with me since came. and I'd 70 like to know you better"
 For moment he hesitated; then with smile, he followed her to the billiard room and was soon engaged in close battle with the ivory balls, for Angelique could play at games Hg well as she could play at love.
 Looks like she'd set her cap Tor the head of the family, doesn't it?" Bob remarked to Betty when they met in the library. Wonder what she's got up her sleeve? I supposed Ramon was high man with her.
 "He i5," Betty answered posi- Eiveiy. "Angclique's after some thing. Maybe she'll find out if

 A snail is at the bottom of 6 well kWenty feet deep. He starts jour aney to the top at the rate of three foot per day. However, he is handi- capped because at night when he rests gravity causes him to slip back down two feet. Not only that but when he does finally reach the top 11e finds that he has climbed up a partition which is very thin and he immediately starts descent down the other side cxerting the same amount of energy that he exerted climbing up. How long did the whole trip. from the bottom of the partition to the top and down the other side to the bottom again, Sake?

phone service and further European
extensions. In 1880, transoceanic
service was opened to South Amer
lea and Australia, and in 1881, it was
extended to far off Java and Suma-
ira, as well as to Bermuda, Hawaii
and the Canary Islands.
Worlds Far Corners Within Reach
In 1882, South Africa, Egypt, Siam
and the Bahamas were added, and
in 1888, the Philippines, Canal Zone,
certain Central American countries,
Palestine and India. The establish
ment of transoceanic service to
Japan took place in 1884, and in 1885
the first telephone conversation
around the world was made. In
cluded among the important addi-
lions Of 1886 was the first service
to ship at sea on the Pacific Ocean,
through the short wave circuit op-
Grated in California.
A few years ago, a conversation
between subscriber in this coun-
try and one in Europe or with ship
at sea was page one news in the
newspapers. Now, a steady stream
Of traffic flows daily, not only to
London, but to such places as Stock
holm, Cairo, Cape Town, Sydney,
Buenos Aires, Honolulu, Tokyo and
other distant points.
Many Businesses Use the Service
These overseas channels have
been employed for a wide variety of
personal and business matters. The
financial world probably is their
heaviest user, for every unexpected
turn in the news, or price trends, or
the exchanges Is reflected in the
volume of calls. The press is also
a large user.
In business activities the service
has been employed to buy and sell
all sorts of articles, including auto
mobiles, flour, real estate, rare
books, gasoline and diamonds. De-
partment stores have been able to
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1937-02-26

obtain eyewitness accounts Of
breathlessly awaited events, such as
the fall fashion openings in Paris.
Manufacturers and merchants have
used the service to confer with their
representatives abroad and to Sc
cure accurate information about
events in the foreign field, or to de-
eide quickly upon some urgent mat
ter.
Varied Personal Uses
Governments have found the over
seas telephone service of the great
est value in keeping in close and
constant touch with their foreign
representatives. The overseas cir
cults have also provided valuable
radio links for international broad
casts.
There is also the social side. The
voice waves to other continents have
been employed to discuss all man
ner Of personal matters, such as
births, deaths, marriages, etc. The
circuits have been the means of
uniting friends and families, espe-
cially at such times as Christmas
and New Years, which is the peak
season for overseas telephony.
Telephony Upsets the Clock
Te1ephoning to the other side of
the world is always a startling re-
hinder of the fact that sunset, or
high noon, or tea time varies in diff
ferent parts of the globe. For ex-
ample, you finish your breakfast and
call up an English friend and find
him at afternoon tea. If he happens
to be in India, he may have gone to
bed. If he is in Tokyo, and you call
him up some evening, he can tell
you what has happened tomorrow

Transatlantic telephony has its
tenth birthday this year. For it was
on January z, 1927, that overseas
telephone service began on a COM
mercial basis between New York
and London over long wave radio
telephone circuit across the Allan
tic. The event was hailed through
; out the world as of epoch-making
significance, as indeed it was.
RI Vast Progress in 10 Years
Few of those who expressed such
enthusiasm at that time over the
event could have realized then how
great were to be it's advances in the
forthcoming ten years. For, in the
decade that has since elapsed, over
seas telephony has been extended to
the four corners of the earth. Not
only that, but from ones home or
Office one may talk to passengers on
any one of a score of ocean liners
far out at sea. In fact, SO per cent Of
all the worlds telephones may now
be reached from telephones in this
country. Meanwhile, rates have been
greatly reduced, in some cases to
one-third or less of the original
rates.
Extension to the Continent
After service was opened to Lon
don, early in January ten years ago,
the scope of the service was grad
ually enlarged until it included all
United States, Cuba and part of Can
ada, on this side of the Atlantic, and
all of Greet Britain. 1t was not ex-
tended to the Continent, however,
until 1928, when service became
available first with Antwerp and
Brussels in Belgium, then with Hol-
land, Germany, Sweden, France,
Denmark, Norway, Switzerland,
Spain, Austria, Hungary and
Czechoslovakia.
The year 1929 witnessed the es-
Enlistment of ship-to-shore tele-
