Initiation Week Has
Pleasant Climax

A week of freshman initiation
was climaxed by the sophomore
party, which was given in honor of
the freshmen Saturday evening. The
party was held in the big gym and
music was furnished by a Wurlitzer.
Refreshments of candy bars were
served during the evening.
In spite of the attraction of the
community fair, which was held
the same night, very large crowd
attended the party Although it
was not elaborate, the air of care
free informally which prevailed,
made this one of the most enjoy
able parties ever held in the high
school.

TAMMANY LEADER
 HINES WINS BAIL

New York, April 4.-(UP)-Tam- many District Leader James J. Hines won a certificate of reasonable doubt in supreme court today, permitting him to appeal his four to eight year sentence for aiding the Dutch Schultz $20,000,000 a year numbers racket.
 Justice Peter J. Schmuck set bail of $35, ,O00 which the 63-year -old for mer blacksmith is expected to post after details of the court order are worked out by District Attorney Thomas E. Dewey and Hines new attorney, Martin Littleton.
 Hines was expected to be released from Tombs prison later today. He has been in the old city prison since March g when he was sentenced for selling political protection to Schultz and his allies.
 The once-powerful cty democratic chieftain was sentenced by General Sessions Judge Charles s. Knott, Jr., who heard the second tral. The first trial under Supreme Court Judge Ferdinand c. Pecora ended in mis- trial after District Attorney Thomas E. Dewey had poised fateful ques- tion purporting to involve Hines in the New York poultry racket.

The number of telephones in use throughout the world increased by more than 100000 during 1887 - the greatest. gain since the inven- ton of the telephone GA years ago. This compares with an average in- crease of about a million telephones 8 year since 1904, when there were only 100000 in the world.
 Waterbury claims modest share in the millions of telephones. Ac- cording to the last public statement of the local Exchange there are 18,- 823 telephones in operation in the Brass Center of the Universe.
 On January 1, 1888, there were slightly more than two billion people in the world, and 39,245,069 tele- phones. The United States, with only about one-seventh of the worlds population, had very nearly one- half of the worlds telephones. The total for this country was 19,453, ,401, or 15.09 telephones for every 100 of the population. The country with the next best telephone development was New Zealand, which had 11.97 telephones per 100 population. Can- ada, Sweden, Denmark and Switzer- land came next, in the order listed.

39,245,O69 Phones
 Servicing World
United States Leads All Nations With Nearly 5O9o
 Waterburys Comparative Modest Rating

of the annual worldwide telephone and telegraph survey published to- day by the American Telephone and Telegraph Company. The figures are based on reports from private com- panies and government departments in every country.
 On the first of last year, there were about 348,000 telephones in Connecticut. This figure is greater than the total number of telephones shown for China and India together which countries have nearly 40 per cent of the worlds population, or about three-quarters of a billion people.
 Germany, Great Britain, France, Canada and Japan are the only countries outside the United States with more than a million telephones, but in all five together, the number of telephones per 100 population IS only AS.
 One table shows that some 60 per cent of the worlds telephones are privately-owned. In Europe as a whole, where 87, per cent of the tele- phones are government-owned, the number of telephones for every 100 population is only PAT, or one-sixth of the figure for the United States, the only large country that has all ways enjoyed private ownership of telephone communications. To equal our telephone development. the world outside the United States would have to install nearly 300 mill lion telephones, fifteen times as many as theer are now.
 One For Every Ten
 Washington and San Francisco had the highest development of any cities in the world-more than twice as many telephones per hundred people as any of Europe's large cap- itals. And in communities of less than 50,000 population, the United States had one telephone for every ten people, compared with the Eu- ropean figure of one for every 9 to 45 people in similar places.
 On January 1, 1888, there were over 168 million miles of telephone wire in the world, enough to go to the moon and back $50 times. More than 54 per cent of this wire was in this country. A summary of the number of calls made showed that during 1887 there were more than 220 telephone calls made for every man, woman and child in the Uni- ted States. The corresponding figure for the rest of the world is IS calls per capita.

partment, and that there $ no ap- propriation in the departments budget for maintenance of the field.
 It was remarked by the park commissioners that the matter properly must come before the board of finance and the aldermen to de- wise financial means to carry the field expense before the park de- partment can take jurisdiction.
 So far as the new athletic field at Hamilton Park is concerned, the project was one of the blanket group of WPA constructions approved by the city boards last year. The total cost of the several projects, which included work 1t Chase Park, Ham, ilton Park, Futon Park, the golf course and the athlete field, was set at $393, ,0o6 of which the city's, of sponsors, share is $70,000.
 The new field is planned for the section abutting Idylwood avenue, tagent to the old brass mill wheel at the south end of the park. It will require moving of 23,000 cubic yards of earth in the leveling of 8 knoll which separates two flat sur- faces adjacent to the playground.
 Additional Facilities
 Superintendent Curtin estimated that the new field will be large enough for two baseball diamonds and four softball courts. The park department has been planning the additional recreational facilities for
