Washington An unusual cere-
mony occurred in Washington, D. C..
recently when a father and son were
presented at the same time with their
certificates Of membership in Alex
ander Graham Bell Chapter Of the
Telephone Pioneers Of America. The
father, Herman w. Schrum, a store
keeper in the Chesapeake and Potomac
Telephone, Company at Washington,
only recently became eligible to Pho
neer membership because of previous
employment in other lines. The son
is James H. Schrum, now a senior
central office man in one of the large
Washington exchanges.
Manchester In the Manchester
Royal Infrmary in England, thirty
year-old medical student, Hamed Bey
Shaker, was so i'll that the doctors
thought his case hopeless. The young
mans last wish was to speak with his
father, 1000 miles away in Egypt.
Hospital authorities arranged for the
telephone call, and at the sound of his
fathers voice, Shaker rallied amaz-
ingly. The call cost about $4,000, but
it saved the young mans life.
New York Another new radio
telephone circuit to South America
is planned by the American Telephone
and Telegraph Company between its
Hialeah, Fla, station and Cartegena,
Colombia. This will make the third
point to which radiotelephone service
il available in Colombia, circuits al
ready reaching Bogota and Basran-
quilla.
San Francisco There are now
over ITO transcontinental telephone
circuits on four different routes be-
tween the Atlantic and Pacific coasts.
There were only three circuits avail
able in 1915 when the first transcon-
tinental route was opened.

First American tobacco markets
Of the season open this week with
prospects clouded by a poor export
outlook and a near-record supply. =
Auctioneers will start their sales
chants Thursday at markets in
Georgia and Florida, the Southern
border of the flue-cured belt. 80
Concerned over sharp drop In
exports last season as result of
the European war, Agriculture De-
partment officials awaited the OPEN,
ings to see what kind of prices buy
ers would offer for the new crop.
The price offers. they said, may
have an important bearing upon
proposed Government loans to pro-
ducers on surpluses.
The Agriculture Department said
the new marketing season for flue-
cured tobacco would open with a
supply Of more than 100000 pounds
on hand. or about the same as the
record of the last season. Crop con-
ditions on July indicated fue-
cured crop of 6770Oo,0OO pounds.
This is about 10000 900 pounds less
than the record 1889 crop, but the
decrease in current production was
almost offset by an estimated in
crease of about 465, 10000 pounds
in the surplus from past crops.
American stocks of f1ue-cured to-
bacco on July l were officially esti-
mated at 1,410,0oO,00O pounds. OF
this amount, 16l 1881 900 pounds were
being held by the Commodity Credit
Corp. for the option of British man.
ufacturers. Whether the options
will be taken up is not known.
The principal cause of the In
crease in domestic stocks, officials
said, was sharp decrease in Brit
lsh purchases. Exports to the United
Kingdom during the last season to-
tailed only 100000 pounds. COM
pared with normal exports of ap-
proximately 100000 900 pounds. The
British imposed a virtual embargo
on the product in a move to con-
serve buying power in this country
for war materials.
All exports of f1ue-cured tobacco
totaled 252 100000 pounds. compared
with 362,00o000 in the previous sea-
SON.
mo immediate improvement In
the export situation as a whole Is
likely" the department said.
The department hopes, however.
that British purchases will be larger
this season. 1t said that the United
Kingdom, in order to maintain nor
NAL consumption, would require at
least l40 100000 pounds annually of
fue-cured tobacco from the United
States.

AUBURNDALE, Mass, Aug. g.
Commodity prices continued under
pressure during the week ended Au-
gust 2. The Index of All Commodi-
ties, compiled by the McGill Com
modify Service OF Auburndale, Mass,
declined to 687, as against 69.1 q
week earlier and 1875 at the begin
ming of the year. Weakness during
the last week was the result Of
lower prices for livestock and agri-
cultural commodities. Industrial
commodities generally remained un-
changed during the week. OF the
IA commodity groups comprising the
index three advanced and six re-
manned unchanged.
The industrial index remained
stable during the week. Advances
in fuels, non-ferrous metals and
paint materials were exactly bal
anced by declines in hides and
leather, fine textiles and vegetable
oils.
The agricultural index declined to
SIT from 587 week earlier. In
this group lower prices for cotton,
potatoes, wool sugar and f1axseed
more than Offset minor strength
in wheat, corn, oats, barley, rye and
butter.
The livestock index also dropped
off during the week as lower prices
for cattle and lambs Offset a small
increase in hog prices.
The index for fuels was slightly
higher. In this group most items
were unchanged, but a small ad-
vance was reported in coke prices.
The hides and leather index
dropped of rather sharply, as weak
ness developed in hides, calfskins,
union sole and side upper leather.
The non-ferrous metals index, re-
versing its recent trend, worked
somewhat higher during the week.
Strength was attributable mainly to
an advance in copper prices, al
though tin also advanced during
the week. Declines were noted in
aluminium and quicksilver.
The index for paint materials ad-
vanced sharply. Higher prices for
chinawood oil, turpentine and rosin
offset a drop in linseed oil.
The fine textiles index was some
what weaker. due to lower cotton,
silk and wool.
Vegetable oils also dropped of, as
