Planting Fish by Plane
Successful in Montana

HELENA, MONT. -Planting fish
by airplane might sound as feasible
as shooting rockets to Mars, but
this method has proved successful
in Montana.
Three galvanized metal cylinders,
three feet long, pointed at one end
and open at the other, were filed
with 1000 rainbow and native trout
ranging from two to three inches
long.
Flying from 100 to 400 feet heights
over isolated lakes, the containers
were tossed from the plane. They
burst when they struck the water.
Only so fish, it is estimated, were
killed.
John Schofield, superintendent of
Montana Fish Hatcheries, was de-
lighted with the experiments.
''I'm sure that fish can be planted
cheaper and faster by plane than
by pack train in isolated lakes"
Schofeld said.

CHILD HEALTH DAY

The appointment of DR.. ]. H. M.
Knox, Jr., Chief of the Bureau OF
Child Hygiene of the State Depart
ment of Health, as State Chairman
fer Maryland for this years observ-
ance of Child Health Day-the first
day of Mays announced by Df.
r. II. Riley, Director of the Depart
ment
The observance is nationwide and
has an important place In the cal
endar of State, City and County De-
partments of Health. Its beginnings
date back to a suggestion made in
1915 by Miss Julia c. Lathrcp, the
first Chief of the U. S. Cfildren's
Bureau, that May Day-always as
ISOLATED with growth and spring
festivals-be utilized to direct at
tention to the health needs OF the
children of the nation, and to ways
by which the inherent right OF
every child to health and happiness,
to intelligent care and to opportun-
tiles for normal growth, mental and
spiritual may be realized to the full
lest extent.
The American Child Health Asso-
citation began the organization OF
Child Health Day activities through
State and local health agencies,
nearly ten years later, and when
that association passed out of ex-
istence, the responsibility for carry
ing on the observance was taken
over by the Conference Of State and
Provincial Health Authorities OF
North America-the official organ
ization of directors of State and
health agencies. Since then, at the
request of the conference, the an
nual nationwide Child Health Day
activities have been arranged and
sponsored by the U. s. Children's
Bureau, through the State Depart
ments of Health.
In outlining the plans for this
years observance, DR.. Riley said,
Child Health Day is much more
than a single day. 1t typifies every
day, and the desire to make every
day health day for the children OF
this country. 1t gives an orportun-
ity for directing attention to year.
round activities and shows how they
may be extended and made more
effective, In this years suggested
program, special emphasis is laid
ON every day needs for every child,
particularly on the Importance OF
proper food, rest, exercise, medical
care and protection against disease.
and on ways by which Individual
and community responsibility for
meeting these needs may be met.

During 1888, the Bell System had
net GEN of about 100000 telephones.
More than 60 per cent Of the gain was
made in the last four months of the
year. At the end of the year there
were 1871 900 telephones in service,
according to the annual report of The
American Telephone and Telegraph
Company, just released to stochhold-
ers by Walter S. Clifford, president.
The average daily number of tele-
phone conversations during the year
was 69,900,000, an increase of about
100000 over 1887. While there were
about IL per cent more local con-
versations, there were Ia per cent
fewer toll and long distance CONVEX
sations than in the previous year. At
the end of the year, however, the daily
number of toll and long distance con-
versations was somewhat higher than
at the end of 1887.
Including the telephones of about
$500 connecting telephone companies
and more than $4,000 connecting rural
lines, there were at the end of the
year approximately 100000 tele-
phones in the United States, prac-
tically any one of which can be con-
nected promptly with SO per cent of
the telephones in the world
In 1888 the Bell Systems gross
operating revenue was $1,052, 658, GOO.

enabling anyone anywhere to pick up
a telephone and talk to anyone else
anywhere else, clearly, quickly and at
a reasonable cost, according to state
ment made by Mr.. Clifford.
Until 1927, the longest telephone
call possible was about 5000 miles; to-
day one can talk around the world.
improvements in the quality of trans
mission have been especially marked.
Making a call today from New York
to San Francisco, as compared with
twenty years ago, shortly after trans
continental service was inaugurated, is
roughly equivalent to the difference
between conversing in an open field
at distance of several hundred feet
and conversing within the same room.
Ten years ago it took, on the aver
age, 3.2 days from the time an order
for new telephone was received to
have it installed. Today the average
time is IA days. Ten years ago the
average time required to make a toll
or long distance connection was 80
minutes, having been reduced during
the preceding five years from rs min
utes. Today the average time is Ia
minutes and SO per cent Of long
distance calls are handled without the
person who is calling hanging up the
telephone.

Certainly one of the most dis
courteous drivers Is the one VINO
turns from the wrong lane. His par
ticular lack of considerat for
others takes the form of suddenly
swerving from a right-hand lane to
make a left-hand turn; or he veers

lane and then swings abruptly to the

 There was an excited buzz throughout the room.

 Since Lizzie Barnes back in O2," someone in the rear piped up facetiously.
 well, anyway, it's been a long time." Carol added, land this looks like our chance.
 Nov, then, who's going to be our candidate? We've got to pull together, so let's be minded" !"
 There was silence for moment and then a untitled whisper here and there. Carol had purposely avoided giving the girls any pre- vious notice. She wanted every thing to be right out in the open.
 It was Bonnie Harris who went into action first: T nominate Kay Granger" she said. "Kays a senior, and - well, there aren't many more popular girls on this campus than she"
 My idea exactly" a dark haired girl up front chimed in. And If anyone doesn't think Kay doesn't photograph well, they can dash upstairs for another gander at that full-length photo she took in her purple evening gown"
 The remark brought on a ripple of laughter, and Joan, glancing sideways at Kay, recalled the pie ture and mentally agreed with the dark-haired girl up front.
 Kay Granger was a beautiful girl and she did photograph well. And electing a homecoming queen de- pended greatly on photographs for the benefit of those who didn't know candidates personally.
 q gather, then, that there is a second to the nomination" said Carol. Any further choicest"
 Again silence. And again muf- fled whispers here and there.
 "No politics." Carol warned. "If anyone has any further discussion or nomination, speak your piece"
 Marianne Burrowes stood up. i've got another nomination. How about Joan Johnson?
 "Ill admit there aren't as many kids on campus who know her after all, she's only been here a month. But" she went on sig niflcantly, "I'd like to know who is the most-talked-about girl around here, if it isn't Joan."
 No, Marianne, mo-" Joan whiS- pered to her roommate, T don't"
 But Marianne motioned her to keep quiet.
 And although there are a few people around here who wouldn't even admit it to themselves, Joan is the prettiest girl this chapter has had in years" Elaine Chesbro added. And she's had the pulp licity to go with her looks"
 "You mean notoriety, don't you?" someone asked.
