OF BALTIMORE CITY

HAVE THEM INSPECTEDA very young but capable small

person walked into the office of the

Director of the State Department ofHealth, in Baltimore, a few days ago,leading her brother, two or three yearsyounger, by the hand. ‘‘lf you please,she said, “I would like to haveJimmy vaccinated. He’s six this sum-mer and he can’t go to school this fallunless he is vaccinated. Won’t youplease do it for me?”

She explained that Mother wasworking: that she was in charge ofJimmy and that there was nobody elseto bring him to the doctor, so she hadcome straight to headquartersto havethe very necessary thing done.

‘‘There is no use for Jimmy to loseiny|time from school” she remarked,

as her request was being granted.Any number of Jimmies and Jeans i 1

the counties of Maryland have beenvaccinated recently against smallpox inpreparation for admission to school thisfall, by their family physicians or bythe county health officers. Nearly fourthousandboys and girls just reachingschool age have been brought to thechild health conferences that have beenheld throughout the State under thedirection of the county health officers,public health, nurses, the parent-teacher associations and the StateBureau of Child Hygiene, and haveoeen given a careful physical goingover, in preparation for their enroll-ment in School.

Emphasis has been laid, in the ex-aminations, on conditions that makefor, or mar a child’s health and well-being, particularly weight, as evidenceof satisfactory growth and develop-ment; chest conditions; posture; theteeth; nose and throat; vision and hear-ing; and whether or not the child hasbeen vaccinated against smallpox.A report of each examination has beensent to.the family doctorand the grown-up who took Jean or Jimmy to the con-ference has been urged to take thechild to the doctor whenever condi-tions have been found that haveneeded correction, or when it has beennecessary for them to be advised as tothe kind of care and safegarding Jeanor Jimmy need to make them growbig and strong.

“TheNittle first-graders,” Dr. R. H.Riley, Director of the State Depart-ment of Health, saidafter Jimmy’s visit,‘‘Will have their first try-out in the bigworld when they enter school. Theyare wonderful little human machines,but like any actual machine, they havea much better chance for a good,steady run, if they are thoroughly in-spected and if all of the weak placesdiscovered are safeguarded as intelli-gently as possible before they start.A little extra care, now, may save agreatdeal of trouble later on.”

Explained in Full“Well, Martin,” said the country

squire to his ex-footman, who hadleft a year before to join the navyand had returned on leave, “how doyou like your new life?”

“Fine, sir,” replied the sailor.“That’s good,” said the man’s pre-

vious master.“Yes, sir, It’s a grand life. Once

upon a time I didn’t think much ofthe sea, though,” the sailor explained,“but now I see that the water’s thefinest thing in the world. For In-stance, If there was no water In theworld not one of us would learn toswim, and then look what a lot ofpeople would be drowned.”—LondonTit-Bits.

Knew the ProcedureTo illustrate his contention that peo-

ple can get used to anything—evenhis lectures—John B. Gough, the old-time temperance leader who made“Ten Nights in a Bar Room” popularwith our grandfathers, used to tellthis story:

A man In New Hampshire had be-come so used to the inarriage cere-mony that on the occasion of hismarrying his fourth wife, when theminister requested the couple to standup, the man said:

“I’ve usually sat!”—Kansas CityStar.

Dahlia CultivationDahlia history commences In 1761,

when Cavanilles, the director of theBotanic garden of Madrid, Spain, de-scribed the flowering of a set of dahliaroots received in 1789 from VicenteCervantes of Mexico. Dahlias firstrenched England in 1789 through theagency of the Marchioness of Bute.This had little effect on the history ofthe plant, however, as ail these plantsperished from a lack of proper under-standing of their needs. They werere-introduced successfully in 1804through the interest of Lady Holland.

Elixir of Lifo"No one need die—discovery of the

true Elixir of Life”—was the colorfullanguage used to introduce to the pub-lic of the nineties a new patent medi-cine, which was described further as“a miracle of modern pathological sci-ence and ultimate triumph of medicalresearch and investigation—a remedyfound at last which, if applied prop-erly, will effectively prevent decay ofthe tissues, renew the brain, blood,bone and body, and produce a miracu-lous prolongation of life.”—DetroitNews.

JAPAN MAS DA. F. A. JEWETTWITH OADEA OF SACAED TREASURE

" 1 ■ i •. ,; %i ' i >•!'* • ’iAward Made in Appreciation of Services Rendered in Tele-

phone Development—Decorated with Orderof Rising Sun in 1923 !

Dr. F. B. Jewett (left) has Just been awarded the medal of the Order ofthe Sacred Treasure (center) by the Javanese Government. Consul-GeneralSetsuzo Sawada of Japan in New York (right) made the presentation.

Dr. Frank B. Jewett, vice-presidentof the American Telephone and Tele-graph Company and president of theBell Telephone Laboratories, has justhad conferred on him the Order of theSacred Treasure, by his Majesty, theEmperor of Japan. The diploma anddecoration were presented Dr. Jewettby Setsuzo Sawada, consul-general ofJapan in New York. The award wasmade "in appreciation of the mostvaluable service in the developmentof the telephone and telegraph indus-try In Japan.”

Guests at the presentation includedofficials of the consulate, prominentJapanese business men, several Amer-ican holders of Japanese decorations,Charles P. Cooper, vice-president, andE H. Colpitts, assistant vice-president,American Telephone and TelegraphCompany: and H. P. Charlesworth,vice-president of the Bell TelephoneLaboratories, New York.

Dr. Jewett was awarded the Japa-nese Order of the Rising Sun by theEmperor of Japan In 1923 for his as-sistance rendered the Japanese Gov-ernment in furthering improvementsin telephone communication.

Telephones in Japan are operatedby the government which uses, to alarge extent, American equipment ofa modern type. On March 31, 1929,the latest date for which figures areavailable, there were 811,319 tele-phones in operation in Japan. This is1.3 telephones for each 100 people.The Japanese average about fifty con-

versatlons per person annually. Injthe United States where there are!more than 16 telephones for each 100 1people, there is an average of 230 con-1versatlons. ]

Japan was one of the first foreigncountries to install telephones, thefirst instruments being placed in op-eration in 1877 Just about one yearafter the Invention of the telephone;by Dr. Alexander Graham Bell.

Telephone exchanges were openedin Tokyo with 179 subscribers andYokohama with 45 In December, 1880.The trunk lines connecting the twocities were established at the sametime.

The Introduction of the dial sys-tem in Yokohama has done much toimprove the service. This city hasmore than 11,000 subscribers to tele-phone service exclusive of about 800In the Tsurumi district. With thedial method of operation, connectionsare made easier for foreign users oftelephones, who have previously hadtrouble in speaking with friends dueto their inability to make the Japa-nese operators understand their lan-guage. The Yonkyoku exchange, oneof the largest in Yokohama, now em-ploys 300 operators In handling out-of-town messages. About 100 circuitsconnect this city with Tokyo, andabout 7,850 calls are made daily be-tween the two cities. Rates on out-of-town telephone calls, as In theUnited States, are reduced after 7P.M.

North Americans are being broughtcloser together by efficient communi-cation. People o£ the United States,Canada, Mexico, and those on the Is-land of Cuba as well, now talk to eachother daily. More than 21,000,000 tele-phones serving these several countriesmay now be Interconnected.

Recently service was extended totbe Erickson Telephone System whichmade approximately 25,000 more tele-phones in Mexico City and severalthousand additional throughout the

southern republic available for inter-communication.

On the inauguration of the servicecitizens of the United States, Canadaand Mexico conversed with eachother. Theodore G. Miller, vice-presi-dent of the American Telephone andTelegraph Company in New York,talked with B. Wahlquist, generalmanager of the Erickson Company inMexico City, while Mexican govern-ment officials talked with their diplo-matic representatives at Washingtonand officers of a Canadian bank'sbranch in Mexico City conversed withthe Montreal headquarters.Canada and the United Stateß have

been connected by telephone over along period of years. Tbe people ofthese two nations, generally speakingthe same language, daily exchangebusiness and social communicationsby telephone.

Telephone connections betweenMexico and the United States aremaintained over lines of the MexicoTelephone and Telegraph Company ofthe International Telephone and Tele*graph Corporation. This line crossesthe Rio Grande into the United Statesat Laredo, Texas. It was first placedin service in 1927, having been con-structed for the purpose used. Pre-viously there was no telephone lineconnecting Mexico City with theUnited States. This line and itsbranches extend from sea level atTampico on the Gulf of Mexico to apoint 7,500 feet above the sea at Mex-ico City. |

The construction of the long dis-tance telephone lines in Mexico, wasaccording to engineers, a mostmidabie task, built as theyacross sage brush, cactus desamong snow capped mountathrough precipitous canyons, tropforests and fruitful plains.
