Marriage Arranged
That was the way Trina
Skariatina learned that a
marriage had been arranged
for her with Count Alexander
Feodorovitch Keller of the
Imperial Guard Regiment, the
son of an old friend of the
family.
Before she was 18 years old
she was married and became
Countess Trina and maid of
honor to the Empress. The
marriage was not a happy one
and ended in divorce.
During the Revolution the
countess plunged into Red
Cross hospital work and the
intensive study of medicine.
She vas graduated from the
st. Eugenia School of Red

Institute.

NEW TRANSATLANTIC PHONE CABLE PUT INTO OPERATION

NEW YORK, R-The new 42- million-dolla transatlantic tele- phone cable was officially opened Tuesday, the first direct voice link between the old world and link between the Old World and
 Promptly at Il am. (EDT), Cleo F. Craig, board chairman of the American Telephone and Tele- graph Co, said, "The big moment is at hand. First, we'll talk to Lon don, then Ottawa. In conclusion, we'll officially open service be- tween the United States, Britain and Canada"
 He lifted the phone. "This is Cleo Craig in New York calling Dr. Charles Hill in London"
 Then, almost prosaically, he exchanged greetings with the postmaster general of the British post office and then with George Carlyle Marler, Canadian Minis ter of transport in Ottawa.
 Their conversations were clear and natural, as tho it were a neighborhood call.

phone to Europe since 1927, but their voices have been carried by radiotelephone. These circuits are subject to atmospheric interfer- ence and possible jamming by alien sources in time of emer- gency.
 The new cable system, which took more than two years to build, does away with the possibility of these disturbances and thus has national security aspects. It is the joint project of the American Tel eephone & Telegraph Co.,, the British Post Office, and the Cana dian Overseas Teleeommunication Corp.
 The new cable can carry 36 voice messages at one time, about three times the traffic that radio telephone circuits can transmit between this country and abroad. It is the first undersea phone link to span any ocean.
