ed seen several times during the
past three weeks in Ridgely. He has
been seen looking into the windows of

the night. Mr.. and Mrs. Salisbury
were not home at the time. Patty,

visiting friends in town and when no
titled what had happened she at once
called on several men of the town
who soon got together posse, head

manufacturing arm of the System,
now saves 65 tons of aluminium an
nually by replacing aluminium with
steel in the Finger wheel" on dial
telephones. This is only one of many
items of telephone equipment in
which aluminium is being replaced by
other materials. The total saving of
aluminium is enough to build more
than 275 military planes other than
bombers, or half as many bombers,
in accordance with the estimate of
the Aeronautical Chamber of Com
merce of America that the average
non-bomber requires three tons of
aluminium and the average bomber six
tons.
The use of zinc is being substantial

hardware used on telephone pole lines
with lead, instead of putting these
products through a galvanizing pro-

the PRODUCTION of new telephone.
Since 1925 the Bell System has
been studying how to make the most
effective use of materials. Immedi-

1889, a survey was made of critical

BALTIMORE COUNTY'S
PRECOCIOUS "QUIZ KID

Most people in Baltimore County
have heard of the "Quiz Kids" that
group of bright youngsters heard ov-
er a coast-to coast radio hook-up ev-
cry week.
"The Quiz Kids" are probably the
most famous group of children
throughout the United States, and
their answers to many difficult ques-
lions fired at them, have amazed
even the most learned professors.
Well, Baltimore County has a
youngster who can step right up and
take a place with "The Quiz Kids"
and more than hold his own. He is
little Jackie Leisman, 4-year-old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Louis ]. Leisman, of
Woodlawn.
Jackie is truly remarkable young
ster. The child has vocabulary of
well over 500 words which he can pro-
nounce and spell, and he can name the
Capital of every State in the Union
without the slightest hesitation.
Mr.. and Mrs, Leisman are immen-
sely proud of their son, and rightly
so. Mr.. Leisman related how one
night about a year ago he was sitting
listening to a news broadcast, when
the name of Joachim Won Ribbentrop,
Germany's Foreign Minister, was
mentioned.
Jackie, too was listening to the
broadcast, and after it was completed,
the youngster not only pronounced
Won Ribbentrop's name, but spelled it
as well.
The boys father was astounded to
say the least, but young Jackie took
it right in his stride.
Although the child won't enter ele-
mentary school for some time, he can
give the correct answers to over 400
questions on current and national
events, and reads as fluently as any
grade school pupil.
Friends of the boy who have had
the opportunity to observe him are
amazed at his intelligence, and at his
wide knowledge on National histori-
cal events.
According to his proud parents,
Jackie listens to all of the news
broadcasts, and takes keen interest
in the pronunciation and spelling of
the names of the various foreign
countries, and the names of the men
who are prominently identified with
them.
Jackie is a keen-eyed youngster,
and is anxiously awaiting the time
when he will be old enough to start
attending school. Right now, however
the boy is having good time playing
with all of the other youngsters in
his neighborhood.

inc suitable substitutes

mine suitable substitutes were
initiated.
Because of the many factors involv-
ed in the introduction of substitutes
processing, engineering, materials
and new procedures-the System will
be faced with an inevitable rise in
manufacturing costs as a direct
result.
Supplementing the Bell Systems
substitution and conservation pro-
gram are the reclamation activities
it has been carrying on since 1881,
when the Nassau Smelling and Re-
filming Company was acquired for the
purpose of retaining junked mater
ial. Many of the materials used in
telephone equipment are not expended
but can be reclaimed and reused.
The Nassau Smelling and Refining
Company last year supplied the Sys-
tenn with more than 100000 pounds
of metal. This was obtained chiefly
from non-ferrous metals in outworn
equipment, structures, and supplies
junked by the operating telephone
companies. The reclaimed metal in
cluded about 100000 pounds of
copper wire bar, more than 100000
pounds of lead alloy for cable sheath
ing, some 100000 pounds of lead
sleeving for cable spices, over
100000 pounds of bronze wire bar,
some 100000 pounds of brass billets,
over 100000 pounds of solder in
various forms, and more than $4,000
pounds of redistilled slab zinv. This
years totals are expected to mount
considerably higher.

INFANTILE PARALYSIS
IN BALTIMORE COUNTY

During the week ended August 20
four cases of polimyelitis or infantile
paralysis were reported to the Balti-
more County Health Department. All
four cases occurred in separated Sec
lions of the county and there was no
relationship by way of contact be-
tween the cases. The cases reported

degree of paralysis, but there have
been no fatalities from the disease
in Baltimore County in 1871.

When Bradford was marshal the
city hall was back of where the

near where the Elks lodge is stu

500 month. His assistant got $75

Bradford recalled. IF there was a
case that took us out of town we
hired a buggy! Sometimes I bor-
rowed a two cylindered Maxwell
from a friend. 1t was painted red.
I remember"
Automobiles, however, were the
exception rather than the rule.
The streets were mostly dirt and
horses were parked" on Main street
where automobiles are lined up now.
After year as deputy sheriff,
serving in the Ogilby mining dis
trict, and work as a private detec-
tive in Los Angeles Bradford re-
turned to Texas to enter the paint
and wall paper business.
Ell Centre must have been evcep-
tionally law abiding, for frontier
town, because Bradford could re-
call no spectacular criminal cases,
no shootings nor exceptional vio-
