BUSY PHONE Line may
NOT ALWAYS BE in USE
Two Calls TO Same Party AT
Same Time Can Cause
Unavoidable Delay

If you telephone your residence and
find the line is busy, and if, subse-
quently, you learn no one was home
at the time, naturally you feel the
telephone company was at fault.
However, the folks may all be away
and yet the telephone line may be
busy. The house might even be
boarded up and still the line could be
in use. In other words, a telephone
can be busy even if no one is at home
because it is perfectly possible for
two people to be calling the same
number from different telephones at
the same time, and if two people are
calling the same person at the same
instant, one Of them will find that the
line is busy.
Another way in which the line can
be busy when not in actual use is
when someone has forgotten to place
the receiver on the hook. In such
cases, no one can put through an in
coming call. Also, in the case Of
party-line service, use Of the telephone
by any one of the subscribers on the
line makes it busy, no matter which
number on the line is being called.

UNION MUST PAY DAMAGES TO
SHEFFIELD co.

A New York local of the Team
sters Union "a. F. L. must pay
$4,000 damages to Sheffield Farms
Milk Company for losses the COM
pany sustained in a one-day strike
held to be in violation of the unions
contract.
The award was made by Arthur
S. Meyer, impartial chairman of the
New York milk industry, whose de-
cision is final. He suggested, how.
ever, that the company accept half
the amount awarded in the interest
of amicable labor relations.
The strike last Feb. "a, which de-
prived thousands of families in up
per Manhattan and the Bronx of
milk for a day, grew out of the dis
missal of three platform leaders.
The union charged the workers
health was in jeopardy by a require
ment to stack cases six high.
The Sheffield Farms Co. operates
branch milk plant here shipping
two cars of milk daily to New York

POULTRY PRODUCTS MARKET
ING SCHOOL

Active enforcement of the Mary
land Fresh Egg Law is expected to
give Maryland producers special
interest in the third annual Poultry
Products Marketing School, which
will be held at the University Of
Maryland on September Is to 15,
according to James M. Gwin, asso-
ciate professor of poultry marketing.
Mr.. Gwin, who is in charge of
arrangements, states that the facili-
ties provided by the new poultry
building will make it possible to
conduce much more complete pro-
gram than could be done with the
limited facilities of former years.
1t is evident, Mr.. Gwin says, that
interest in the marketing school has
extended far beyond the borders OF
Maryland. He has received inquiries
already from Colorado, Indiana,
Georgia, North Carolina, and all OF
the New England States.
Those who will participate In the
instruction, either as speakers Of
or by giving demonstrations, include
both persons actively engaged In
various phases of handling and mar
keting poultry products, and scien-
lists in different lines associated
with poultry products.
The school will be open to per-
sons over Is years of age, both men
and women.

Check by Colored .Hoppers'

If a Minnesota farmer finds
gold, violet or red grasshopper in
his corn field he knows it's one OF
the 10000 or more grasshoppers that
the state department of agriculture
painted and then turned loose over
the state.
State entomologists naturally
aren't solely interested in raising
gayly colored grasshoppers. They
want to learn the direction Of hopper
migrations.
Every now and then batch Of the
colored hoppers appear in some Sec
ton of the state. Whenever farm
or locates one of the colored flock he
notifies the agriculture department.
The pests are sprayed with the
lacquer of chosen color, diluted
with banana oil. Any of the various
tints can be used.

New Ventilator Solves
Fresh Air-Draft Problem

For the family that divides itself
in winter into the advocates Of fresh
air and the enemies Of drafts, peace
is now possible with the perfection
Of a new ventilator, which has re-
Gently appeared on the market.
Every winter, particularly In
sleeping chambers, great many
people feel that they are forced to
choose between suffocating or resist
ing a freezing gale. The need Of
fresh air Is recognized, and the dam
ger Of drafts is equally well estab-
lished; the problem has been In
selecting lesser evil.
This new ventilator provides a
solution by allowing air to enter the
room quietly and effectively without
creating enough movement Of air to
disturb the most sensitive person.
Simple in construction, the venti-
1ator consists of two vented plates
which overlap, but do not touch and
which have between them a copper
screen. The edges Of each plate
are turned in such way that they
are opposite the opposing plate, SO
that the air is made to turn two
corners by the battle plates Of the
ventilator.
In this way, the force Of the wind
on the outside is checked so that the
movement Of air on the inside does
not extend any more than four or
five inches from the ventilator.
While the battle plates do not hinder
fresh air from entering freely
through the ventilator, they do pre-
vent rain, snow and large percent
age Of dust from passing through.
Also, the installation of this venti-
lator will not interfere with the easy
opening and closing Of the window,
because 1t goes on the outside, with
a rubber composition flap which
seals the space between the window
frame and the ventilator.
They are easily installed without
the services Of an expert. Adjust
able brackets at each end Of the
unit allow for variations in the width
Of windows and require but two
screws each. The ventilator slips
down between the brackets and can
be inserted or removed effortlessly.

Historic Points Attract
Visitors to South Wales

The coast of South Wales between
Swansea and Tenby, on the western
side of Carmarthen bay, is varied.
There are parts Of the coast where
the limestone cliffs rise to a con-
siderable height, only to fall away
again to the sand fats of such tidal
estuaries as are formed where the
Loughor, the BURY or the Tony riv-
ers meet the sea.
To the west of Swansea the
Mumbles Head curves protectingly
into the bay. From this windy
elevation the view across the bay
toward Swansea and Port Talbot
has as background the chimneys
of innumerable industries, says the
Sunday Times of London. A canopy
of smoke drifts slowly across the
scene. Dimly, through the haze,
rise the rugged shapes of the
Glamorgan mountains.
But turn toward the west and fol-
low the undulating path along the
cliffs and the horizon is limited only
by the headlands of Pwll-du head
and Oxwich point. In places the
cliffs give way to snug sandy
beaches, such as Langland bay or
Caswell, where the surf-bathing is
good, or again in the wide sweep Of
Oxwich lying below the historic
little village and castle from which
it obtains its name. At Worms head
the cliffs end and the flats around
the river mouths begin. But beyond
Pendine sands toward Sandersfoot
and Tenby the coast rises again and
reaches a wild magnifcence where
the National Trust cliffs at Lydstep
overlook Caldy island.
All this stretch of coast appeals to
the visitor because of its quiescent
charm. There are no great seaside
resorts, but towns such as Tenby,
Kidwelly, Llanelly or even Swansea,
with their individual attractions, are
excellent centers from which an in
teresting and historic hinterland
may be explored.

COAST GUARD RESCUES
TRAVELLERS CREW AFTER
RADIOTELEPHONE CALL
Strong Winds Force Vessel
Aground Near Ocracoke
Inlet, North Carolina

From the trawler "Albatross," out
across the stormy waters OF Ocracoke
Inlet, N. c., and through the headset
of Mrs. Sophie st. Pierre, Norfolk,
Va, marine operator, recently went
the call of distress Of the ship radio
telephone service "Mayday, Mayday,
Mayday." The message received from
the trawler's captain, Dan Hayman,
was an urgent one. 1t read: Strong
winds have forced us aground off
Ocracoke Inlet, N. C. The ship is
breaking up-send help" Instantly
the alert operator connected the call
with the Coast Guard.
The cutter "Modoc" was dispatched
to the aid of the stricken craft but
due to the shallow water could be OF
little help. The Coast Guard head
quarters in Norfolk called their Ocra
coke Inlet station by land line, and
rescuers were soon making efforts to
launch their light surf boats in the
rough water.
With Capt. Hayman on the "Albat-
ross" were fourteen members Of his
crew and two passengers. All watched
with anxious eyes the bobbing surf
boats nearing their stranded craft.
Contact was soon made and while
the graveyard of the Atlantic"
claimed another vessel, those aboard
were placed ashore, praising highly
the aid brought them so quickly by
means of their ship radiotelephone.

DANGER no VACATIONISTS in
DRINKING WATER

A warning to vacationing motor
lists to guard against water pollu-
ton is issued by the Keystone Auto
mobile Club.
Typhoid germs may Turk in the
old oaken bucket and even in spark
ling streams" said George E. Ken
eipp, Manager of the Club, "and the
motorist who drinks of the cooling
waters may find himself another
victim of summer typhoid"
The Club manager, pointing to
the experience of other years, said
typhoid and other diseases have been
traced to the drinking of polluted
water by vacationists.
"They assume" he continued,
chat because the water looks clean,
it is pure. Doctors and health author
tiles have repeatedly warned against
the practice, but some motorists
continue to take chances, often
with fatal results.
"The best advice we can give is
that whenever any doubt exists as
to the purity of the supply, water
should always be boiled. II facilities
for boiling are not available, the
water may be purified by the use of
iodine. One drop of official tincture
of iodine will sterilize a quart of
water, except when the water is
strongly polluted. Two drops to the
quart may be used with safety"

Slick 1920 Model
Carries the Mail

Six days week for the last 20
years museum on wheels has
bumped along Forsyth county's
rural roads in North Carolina.
The vehicle carries Professor"
T. E. Woosley, veteran rural mail
carrier, along his route.
Back in the era of prosperity just
after the World war, Woosley's "de-
luxe model touring car" was the
king of the dirt roads.
Today it's nothing less than a mu-
scum, for it shows by vivid contrast
the startling progress realized in
the American automobile industry.
Flashy 1910 model beauties can
purr past him and the occupants
can turn and smile in a you-poor-
man manner, but the "professor" is
satisfied with his 1920 machine.
Service is what he puts a premium
on, and he can't find any reason to
complain. Since July, 1920, the old
touring car has been faithful.
The speedometer broke years ago,
but the known mileage is far more
than 100000 miles, and every day
1913 miles are added.
Proof that the bus gives thorough
ly satisfactory service is found in the
route the professor covers with mail
delivery.
This route is rough enough to be
used as a testing ground for even
the most durable new model car.
But it has no bad effects on the
"horseless carriage"

THERE'S MUCH TO SEE
In MARYLAND

AS part of its campaign to con-
vince tourists that there Is much
to see in Maryland" the State
Publicity Commission, will sponsor
a series of broadcasts each Thurs
day evening for the next 12 weeks.
The programs, from 8.15 p. M.
! over Station VIDAL, will take the
hypothetical Wilson family on a
tour of the State, beginning where
the State began, at old st. Mary's.
e. Lester Muller, Chairman Of
the Maryland Publicity Commission,
inaugurated the first of the series
in preliminary talk last Thursday.
Hugh Parker is writing the script,
which will be enacted by members
of the vagabonds, it was stated.
Katherine Dierken will be director
of dramatization, HISTORY, IRA
DITION.
Annapolis, the eastern Shore,
Baltimore and Central Maryland,
and the Western counties will be on
the itinerary, which will have
background of history and tradition.
In st. Mary's county, the years
the centuries--will be rolled back
and landing of the settlers from the
Ark and the Dove dramatized.
When "the Wilson family" visits
Baltimore, the program will include
decentralization of the stirring cir
cumstances in which the Star
Spangled Banner was written.
At Frederick, the Barbara Fritz
chic episode will be enacted.
The program, 1t is explained, is
designed primarily to stimulate
intra-State travel, SO that persons
living in one part of the State may
become better acquainted with other
sections of it.
To inspire onMarylanders with
desire to visit the State, the Com
mission is employing various means,
within the limits of a restricted
budget, including distribution of an
deliberately illustrated descriptive
pamphlet, arranged, like the radio
program, as travelogue.

Father Stickleback Fish
Protects Eggs in Nest

Man does not know at just what
stage in the evolution of life parent
animals begin to develop a desire to
help their children through the ten
der and dangerous stage Of their
lives. We have, however, observed
few instances where the protective
instinct is found in animal life as
low as the fishes.
One Of the most interesting and
familiar illustrations Is that Of the
sticklebacks, writes Frances E.
Potts In Nature magazine. The
males Of this group build nests Of
waterweeds, binding them together
with mucous webs or threads Sc
GREETED from the kidneys. When sat-
isfied with the nest, the male looks
around for mate to occupy 1t. II
he does not succeed in attracting q
mate, he resorts to force and drives
a female-or several Of them-into
the nest until he has a satisfactory
number Of eggs.
After the female deposits the eggs
In the nest her responsibility for her
children is over. In fact, she would
enjoy eating the little fish and prob
ably would do so except for their
vigilant father. Never during the
period Of incubation does he for
sake his vigil, often fighting off enc
mics, and even the female, with the
use of the stickles on his back. Not
only does he guard his precious
treasure, but, with the use Of his
tail and fins, he circulates water
through the nest to provide plenty
Of oxygen and maintain purity. In
case the current spills an egg, or a
young fish strays out, he rescues II
and returns it to the nest.
There is marine catfish, the gait
topsail, inhabiting the Atlantic and
Gulf coasts, the male Of which as
sumes remarkable family respon-
sibility. Unbelievable as 1t may
seem, he protects the eggs during
incubation by holding them in his
mouth. The incubation period may
be full month, and the eggs nearly
an inch in diameter; the male may
carry at times as many as so in this
manner, although rs might be near
er the average. Some scientists
maintain that these fish may reach
a length of four inches before being
thrown out from under the parental

TO REHABILITATE SHAD AND

by dogs along Congress avenue, in
Havre de Grace, on Friday morning,
jumped through screen and double

Finding itself trapped in the room
it leaped back through the window

Changes in Industry
Speeded Up by Science

Many years ago Lord Kelvin said
that in order to understand anything
one must measure 1t. Industry on
the whole was rather slow to learn
the lesson, but today there is new
standard Of certainty, based on SCI
entific measurement, which has i'm
vaded every branch Of the industrial
and engineering field.
To take few examples from the
railways: The comfortable riding
IF rail coaches, the sources Of noise,
the movement Of wheel along the
rail, the vertical movements of the
rails when under load, and the re-
sistance of materials to wear-these
are no longer left to personal inn
pressions, which are so liable to err
ror and leave no record for subse-
quent comparison. Measurement
provides a new basis for progress.
"The sovereignty OF. man lieth hid
in knowledge" There is every rea-
son to be proud of the achievements
of this country in the application of
science to the needs of the world
today, writes Sir Harold Hartley in
Technology Review" Americans
were the first to realize for their
own vast homogeneous internal
market the immense potentialities
of mechanical production-produc-
ton which was made possible by SCI
entific control and which has done
so much in so many ways to diver
sify the pattern Of life for this gen.
GRAFTON. But in our technical enthu-
siasm we must not forget that the
human problems of management
present much more difficulty than
the choosing and working of mani
mate material.

Protective Insulation Board

The degree of protection from out
side temperatures that any house
can offer depends primarily not
upon the strength or thickness of its
walls but upon the insulating value
of the material used in construction.
For example, one inch Of structural
insulating board in the walls gives
weather protection equal to that of
is inches Of common brick, SO
inches of concrete or three inches of
lumber. One-half inch of insulation
board will reduce the heat loss
through walls and ceilings by one
third. The first layer of insulating
board effects the greatest fuel saw
ing, the next less, the next still less,
and so on.
