HOW IT IS DONE!
"Down Home" By "Crackers" and Others—Would Not Vote "Guilty"—Change of Venue.
Dallas, Texas—Sentiment against the punishment of "crackers," accused of burning the court house at Texas Tech, Hilo and Lynching George Hughes, hiked concussion of the fourteen defendants here. Monday, "Cracker" after "cracker" called for prospective jury service, declared he would not vote to send the accused to the penitentiary. Judge C. A. Pippen then transferred the cases to Austin, Tex., saying it was evident the state could not obtain a fair trial in Dallas, to which the cases had been sent from Sherman. The disgraceful attitude of the prosecution jurors was scored by Judge Pippen.
"If you won't enforce one law, you can't criticize another man for not enforcing another law," he said.
Three-fourths of the 73 veniremex examined before the change of venue was ordered said they would not-vote to send a defendant to the penitentiary on the charge, under the circumstances. The court house at Sherman was burned, May 9 last, after hours of rioting by a white mob seeking to lynch Geo. Hughes who was locked in a vault in the court house, for soaking, at the time the fire was opened after the fire, he was dead. The specific charge against the defendants is rioting to commit arson by explosion, but should be for murder, also.

NEW
PETER H.
Geo. E. Prujan, new physical director at the Cedar Branch "Y", this city, comes highly recommended. Mr. Prujan, for seven years physical director of the Quincy, Illinois Y. M. C. A., has taken up similar work at the Cedar "Y", much to the satisfaction of all connected with that institution and others. He is an all-round first-class athlete, having won contests as a boxer, swimmer, etc., both in this country and abroad. Mr. Prujan is the director in this city before going to Quincy. Mr. Prujan is a fine young man, with an exceptionally pleasing personality. Of him Mr. Nathan Mack, general secretary of the Quincy "Y" said, just prior to Mr. Prujan's leaving that city: "Mr. Prujan, in his seven years as director of physical education of the Quincy School, has usually large service both to the association and to Quincy as a whole His kindly personality, with his eagerness to be of help, has won him many friends in all circles."
"Groups of men and boys have found deep satisfaction and much personal progress through the activities in which they have been led by Mr. Prujan. The 'Y' under his direction, has had a splendid all-around physical educational program. A significant result of a part of this program appears in the fact that Quincy now has a larger group of life-savers than he have passed the life-savers' examination than any other association in the state. The Quincy 'Y' is fortunate to have had the service of George E. Prujan thru these seven years, and is wishing him even greater success in the increased responsibilities to which he is going in Cleveland."
WOMEN APPEAL TO GOVERNORS TO STOP LYNCHINGS!
WOMEN APPEAL TO GOVERNORS TO STOP LYNCHINGS!
The Power of Chief Executives Invoked by Influential Group, Who Pledge Support and Plan Crusade.
Atlanta, Ga. — The twenty-one southern white women representing eight states, who recently issued a public statement denouncing lynching and repudiating the claim that it is necessary "as a defense of womanhood," followed up their statement last week Thursday, with a telegram to the governors of thirteen southern states, calling upon them to take vigorous steps for the complete suppression of such crimes. The message was signed by all the members of the group, who pledged themselves to co-operate with public action in the fight against the text of the telegram is as follows:
"We, a group of white women drawn from religious, educational and political groups, assembled at Atlanta to consider shocking resurgence mob violence during current year, appeal to you as chief executive of your state. Decrease in lynching noted during past ten years was largely due to the aggressive and determined attitude of governors and sheriffs of southern states. During this year notable examples of courageous and prompt action on the part of governors preventing lynchings encourages the belief that even large groups of war and infiltration largely to erase this crime from the record of his state. We pledge ourselves to support governors, sheriffs and judges upon whom responsibility rests."
The women composing the group were convened by the Commission on Interracial Cooperation to consider the lynching situation. In addition to their public statement and telegram to the governors, they made plans for a systematic anti-lynching crusade through the various agencies and organizations of women with which they are connected.
This Is Good Work!
Anderson, Ind.-Congressman Albert H. Vestal (white), whose wife campaigned against the admission of Mrs. Oscar DePriest to the Congressional club, was defeated for reelection, Nov. 4. Votes coming from members of the race caused his defeat.
SEMINARY
CHURCH DIGNITARIES ATTEND
MAGNIFICENT NEW INSTITUTION FOR OUR PEOPLE AT THE GREAT CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA.
Cardinal O'Connell Officiates at the Ceremony— Archbishop Curley Gives the Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament—Work of Josephite Fathers Praised.
Washington, D. C.—A Cardinal, three Archbishops and more than a score of Bishops participated in the solemn dedication of Saint Joseph's Seminary, last week, the magnificent new institution of the Josephite Fathers at the Catholic University of America here. His Eminence Archbishop Cardinal O'Connell, Archbishop of Boston office, dedicated the new edifice, and the Most Rev. Michael J. Curley, Archbishop of Baltimore and Chancellor of the Catholic University, gave Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. The Very Rev. Edward G. Fitzgerald, O.P., of the Dominican Order, here read the sermon which had been prepared by the Rt. Rev. William J. Hafey, Bishop of Raleigh, who, because of illness, was unable to be present. In the dedication of the seminary building, Cardinal O'Connell was assisted by the Very Rev. Dr. Louis B. Pastorell, S. S. J., Superior General of the Josephite Fathers, and Archbishop of Joseph St. Laurent, Rector of Saint Joseph's Seminary At Benediction, Archbishop Curley was assisted by the Very Rev. J. B. Tennelly, S. S., President of the Sulpiar Seminary here, and the Rev. Joseph L. Pastorell, O.P., pastor of St. Raymond's, Providence, R. I.
Folhams' rohows' Dedication.
Folhams' the laboratory exercises, the visiting Bishops, guests and other distinguished guests were entertained at dinner.
"This day," said Father Fitzgerald, reading Bishop Hafey's sermon, "is an outstanding mile-stone in the history of the Catholic Church in America because on this day goes forth from America's heart of religion, learning and culture of ridings that the Church is now preparing to preach the principles of her Catholicity, but by her works to reveal to both the white and colored races that in her mission 'There is neither Jew nor Greek; there is neither bond nor free; there is neither male nor female. For you are all one in its mission.' I am on this day that a word of triumph to that small band of Josephite Fathers who through 60 years have not deviated from the vow of their founders to consecrate themselves until death to the evangelization of the colored race. With attractive opportunities to veer into more founders to consecrate the Fathers of St Joseph have permeated their devotion to their humble brothers in Christ. They have sought and received little of the world's praise while they forsook all things, even the companionship of their own race, to become the ambassadors of
The Macon (Ga.) Times, of Nov. 7, 30, publishes a very pleasing story relative to "Uncle" George Head, who lives in an humble cottage very close to a roadside that leads to a Mr. Floyd Newton's country home, near Madison, Ga. Mr. Newton (white), teacher, told his men's bible class on a recent Sunday morning that he found real interest in George's setting as he found him on the porch of his little home, every Sunday morning, eagerly reading the bible, and paid tribute to the aged man's honesty. Integrity and high personal character. Mailing "Uncle George" a check, once upon a time, in payment for a chimney he had built, Mr. Newton said that he brought back two dollars telling him that the check overpaid for 40 years of payment. The nearly 40 years of payment for "Uncle George" is still a carpenter and rock-mason, and while making no claims to either artistry or speed, the honesty and faithfulness with which he does plain but substantial work always commend him to those using his services. Mr. Newton says "Uncle George" is a prohibitionist and a Baptist, and sets a very high order of conduct for those about him in the faithfulness and diligence of his work. Further, his commitment to honesty of his conduct. Also that his "presence and influence is worth much to any community in steady," he says.
THE GAZETTE is the oldest class publication of the kind, and has the largest bona fide circulation among Ohio Afro-Americans, double that of any other newspaper published in this or any other state, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWBIEST AND BEST published in the interest of Afro-Americans.

Archbishop Curley, in his address at the dedication ceremony, said: "We are interested here this evening in two phases of missionary endeavor. First, the missionary work among the 'Negroes' in America. Secondly, the work the Josephite Fathers are doing in their colored parishes in the South. It is a source of encouragement to see that what that had to be suspended for a time has been assumed. Our 'Negroes' are to be found in every city of the country. They have made remarkable progress in every way, socially, intellectually and financially. Yet we have but a few prominent colored Catholics. We have before us a wonderful opportunity to spread the word of God among our colored brethren right in our own land. The Josephite Fathers are specialists in this work. For this work they have their lives, for this work they have sacrificed all possibilities for their mission. Many prominent members of the Hierarchy were in attendance upon the dedicatory services.
JACKSON LOSES
In the Final Count—An Error in the Unofficial Count Discovered.
State Representative Perry B. Jackson lost his place in the state legislature for the next two years, last week Friday, when the official count showed that he had run twentieth instead of seventeenth, as originally reported. John Smolka, Democrat, was declared elected in his place. Smolka jumped from nineteenth to seventeenth. Seventeen were elected.
**Gains in Official Tally.**
Comparison of the official count and the unofficial returns on Smolka and Jackson shows:
Official Unofficial
Smolka . . . 106,614 . . 103,308
Jackson . . . 104,953 . 105,559
The largest single factor in Jackson's loss was the discovery of an adding machine error in the totaling of votes. He polled 10 votes. President B. S. Johnson, clerk of the board, Louis Simon, clerk of the board of elections, explained that the proper keys were struck but through some mechanical defect the figures jumped to the left one space and registered 970 instead of 97. Other changes, Simon said, were on disputed ballots. The official count showed may changes in the official listing the candidate for the Thomas F. Hurley remained in eighteenth place, but Anna M. Maher jumped from 22d to nineteenth place to go ahead of Jackson.

election, was NOT "the first 'Negro

So the "pawn" system, carried on among the tribes of Liberia, Africa, has been officially designated by the "International Commission of Enquy" as slavery, with the result that President C. D. B. King of that country has issued a proclamation ordering the discontinuing and outlawing of it, something that should have been done, long years ago. Liberia was started, many years ago, by the 'abolitionists of this country who sought, prior to the war of rebellion, a haven of refuge for the slaves, particularly of this country.

Since we are not to have a member of the Ohio Legislature, during the next two years, and we will sorely need some such representation in order to keep the Ku Klux Klan off our backs, a wise thing to do would be for our people of Ohio to arrange to keep the Hon. Perry B. Jackson there during the sessions of the State Assembly to look after our interests. His salary of $1000 ought easily to be raised. The editor of The Gazette stands ready to contribute $50 or $100 toward this, providing twenty or ten others, respectively, will give an equal amount. We would like to hear from our loyal men and women throutout the state who feel as we do about this matter. This is very important.

The dispatches from Haiti inform us that Stenio Vincent, opponent of American Occupation of that little island republic, was on Tuesday elected president by the Haitian National Assembly to succeed Eugene Roy, emergency chief executive of the country since last spring. Vincent is editor of the anti-American Haiti Journal, is 56, and also a lawyer serving as president of the Bar Association of Port-au-Prince. He has represented his country in Paris and Berlin, and at one time was president of the Haitian Senate and minister of the interior. So it seems that Haiti, (at least, we hope) has at last secured a real president, the first since American Intervention (Occupation) in 1916. Thank the Lord!
RACE RELATIONS.
The Little Rock (Ark.) Democrat of Nov. 15, '30, contains an exceptionally well-written and strong article on race relations, written by Bishop E. Thos. Demby of that city, in which he makes perfectly clear "that the question of race relations is the most important before the American people, today, and the greatest challenge to Christianity, the church, government and the science of sociology."
Bishop Demby has been a member of the Southern Inter-Racial Commission for ten years. His wife, Nettie M. Demby, a former resident of this city, was elected to membership on the commission this year, and is the only Afro-American woman in the Episcopal Province of the Southwest to become a member.
Dr. Demby has been suffragan bishop of our work in the Episcopal Province of the Southwest for twelve years, with headquarters in Little Rock. He was our first bishop in the Protestant Episcopal Church of this country and is a very fine man.
"EITHER ASSES OR LIARS"!!
Dr. W. E. B. DuBols of New York City, editor of "The Crisis," has been down Boston way again, and "rattling the dry bones" again. This time, too, he has not minced words in doing so, but on the contrary has used what one might term very harsh, even coarse language. In a discus
ston with Prof. Thomas M. Carver (white) of Harvard University in a meeting held at Ford hall Forum, Sunday, Nov. 8, '30, Editor DuBois, among other good things, said that "all colored people desire 'social equality' with white people and that those who say that they do not are either asses or liars." Prof. Carver, it seems, had made the usual stock speech of most white men addressing our people in which he had, as usual, patted on the back our "Uncle Tom" so-called leadership which always argues against "social equality" and everything else, we say and do, that does not please white persons of the Carver kidney. All of our real leaders who stand up for ALL of our rights and privileges, as American citizens, have always been and are still termed "radicals" and "militant" leaders. It ought to be perfectly clear to all of our thinking people that, if we are ever to make the progress that is absolutely necessary in order to fit us to compete successfully in every way with all other groups or races in this country or any other country, we simply enjoy that is helpful whether it be "social equality" or anything else. Editor DuBois is right when he makes his very harsh and coarse statement and we are perfectly free to confess that we are rather pleased that he put it just as he did. Ofttimes, it is necessary to say things in such a way in order to make them sink home, not only into the hearts but also into the very marrow of the bones of some people. There is of late years entirely too much of the yielding (in speech) of rights, privileges and other important things in order to please prejudiced whites who would always keep us, all of us, in a subordinate and subservient position if they could. "Either asses or liars!" It is harsh and coarse, but nevertheless the truth. Put it in your pipes and smoke it, W. F. N.'s. (white folks" "Negroes"); it may do you some good, as well as whites of the Carver kidney. And there are many of them in this country, preaching segregation of various kinds.
'AFROS' SUPPORTED McCULLOCH
The official returns, for the recent election, show that like Mrs. Ruth Hanna McCormick of Chicago defeated Republican candidate for U. S. Senator in Illinois who was supported by Chicago's four "colored" wards only, out of its fifty wards, Senator Roscoe C. McCulloch carried Cleveland's three "colored" wards only, out of its total of thirty-three wards. This seems to have been the case also in Cincinnati and generally throut the state of Ohio—the so-called "colored" wards in almost every instance casting their vote for the Senator. In ward 11, his vote almost doubled that of Bulkley's. In ward 12, it was more than four to one. In ward 17, it was a trifle more than 2 to 1. Ward 18, which is usually termed Cleveland's fourth "colored" ward, has a white vote larger than that of its "colored" vote, which undoubtedly accounts for the fact that the Senator lost that ward by a little more than 1100 votes. Following is the official figures of the vote cast in the three so-called "colored" wards:
"Lest We Forget!"
Cincinnati, O.—Writing a misguided young friend in New York City, last week, Editor W. P. Dabney of our local publication, "The Union," said among other things: "Lest we forget, I beg to remind you that the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of the greatest fighters in America for race rights, author of Ohio's Civil Rights and Ohio's Anti-Lynching laws, stood by U. S. Senator Roscoe C. McCullough from first to last and openly opposed the policy of punishment, since Parker had been defeated and, from the standpoint of justice, the incident closed. "The words here want for McCullough and the straight Republican ticket."

OHIO'S MOB VIOLENCE ACT
OR ANTI-LYNCHING LAW LEADS THE COUNTRY IN EFFECTIVE LEGISLATION
Against the Mob and Lynch-Murder—Three Years' Work of a Member of the Race—Also His Ohio Civil Rights Law.
Our mo-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the constitutionality of the law and it has been very effective. Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have followed Ohio's lead and enacted mob violence or anti-lynching laws which are copies of our Ohio law. Several other northern states and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted anti-lynching laws, in recent years, like Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Ohio law follows:
Section
6278. "Mob" and "lynching" defined.
6279. "Serious injury" defined.
6280. Damages in case of assault.
6281. Damages in case of lynching.
6282. Damages recoverable by legal representative of victim of lynching.
6283. Person suffering death or injury by mob trying to lynch another.

OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW
Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894:
Sec. 12240. Whoever being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barbershop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race color, the full enjoyment of the facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12241. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not more than fifty dollars nor more than fifty dollars nor more than person aggrieved thereby to be reefered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed.
This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts.
Another N. A. A. C. P. Official.
New York City—Nathan R. Margold (white), a former assistant U. S. attorney here, has been retained by the N. A. A. C. P. to direct a nation-wide campaign to procure and safeguard full civil rights for our people. It is to be financed by an appropriation from The American Public Service, originally the Garland Fund, and it to cover disfranchisement, educational opportunities, inequalities in appropriations, denial of equal service on railroads and other forms of transportation, etc.

director of the Cleveland Association for Criminal Justice, said the association had not protested against the parole, but added that "it was not the type of case in which the association would approve or recommend a parole." (Just why, please?) Evidence in the case shows that the shooting was wholly premeditated and Brice's only defense was that he was intoxicated," Miss Esch said. "It was called to our attention too late for us to do anything." ("That is not true," Mrs. Hampton says.)

A Sister Fought in Vain to Keep Shiver in the Ohio Penitentiary.
A sister's fight to keep the murderer of her brother in prison failed when Leroy Brice, convicted of killing Ralph Hawkins in 1922, left the Ohio Penitentiary, Saturday, after serving less than eight years. He had been sentenced to life imprisonment, and his sentence was commuted by Gov. Mosey A. Cooper to 20 years, paying the way for a parole. The sister, Mrs. Louise Hampton, 8814 Blaine Ave., appealed by letter to Common Pleas Judge Frederick P. Walther, the trial judge; Gov. Cooper and members of the board of clemency in an effort to keep Brice behind bars.
"It isn't that I'm bloodthirsty," she said, "but he has brought so much grief to my family that I can't bear to think that he will be free. My mother and uncle died shortly after my brother's death. They both died of shock."

THE ROSEWALD FUND
Spent Nearly Two Million Dollars in
Welfare Work for Our People.
Chicago, Ill.—The Julius Rosenwald Fund, for its fiscal year ended June 30, reports a total expenditure of $75,655 in its work for Afro-American welfare, the highest moderate cost medical care, general educational experiments and contributions to study of social problems and public administration. Pledges for future work total more than $5,000,000. Of the total expenditure the fund put $1,317,739 into its work for our people, most of which went for the erection of schools. Since 1913, the report said, it has added a total of schools all of grades, with a total of 612,495 pupils, at a total cost of $25,348,000 supplying varying proportions of the cost. All are in southern states. For health the fund expended $163,815 for endowment of nurses, establishment of clinics and study of sickness among our folk in the South.

San Sebastian, Spain.—Many Basque countrymen of Paulino Uzcudun plan special trips to Barcelona to see him battle Primo Carnera, Nov. 23, and among them, accounts in some of the newspapers say, is Matilde Rodriguez Arriola of New Jersey (a la Champion Jack Johnson). They attribute to her a statement

that she followed the fighter to Spain because she loves him and that she is a niece of a Spanish aristocrat, Marques Fontala. Fontala, however, denied that she is a relative, near or distant, say the newspapers. They quote him as saying: "She is as much my niece as she is enraptured of Paulino." Friends of the boxer expressed the opinion that the love angle was a ballyhoo stunt concocted for the fight.

His constituents will hardly forget this and some other things, next fall.

Brother Hawkins hasn't lived in Cleveland long enough to

her white associates (including
those that have succeeded her) who
not only founded the institution but
have controlled, maintained and
sustained it ever since. Miss Hunter

What "Negro" Democrats Did!
The so-called "Negro Democrats" of Cleveland could have saved the Hon Perry B. Jackson if they had been allowed to vote. They voted for him, as they should have voted instead of voting for any white Democratic candidate for the State Legislature. Apparently, they were neither wise nor loyal enough to do this. When they learn that they are not going to get any jobs (which will not be long now), about all of them will be returning to the Republican fold and be in line at the

With winter here the motorist siould

‘The following recommendations on
putting the ear in shape for winter
are gleaned from Sumner § Howard,
an authority on automobile service.
‘The first stey in the procedure is to
clean the chassis, engine and body, as
Girt can hide many defects.
Tighten all bolts and nuts,

Drain the old oll from the trans
mission and differential and pour into
both about a quart of kerosene. At
the same time put in the radiator a
few handfuls of salsoda and then drive
the ear two or three miles. ‘The kero-
sene should then be drained from the
transmission and differential and wa-
ter drained trom the radiator. A win:

should be added.
Next, drain oll from the engine:

‘The motorist should also examine
the top of his car. Going over the top
with a good grade of top dressing
‘will do much to preserve It.
Many car manufacturers are now
equipping cars with a summer an¢
‘winter driving adjustment on the cur

the carburetor should be made at this
time, ‘The fuel and carburetor strain-
ers should also be taken out and
cleaned.
With these simple but highly essen
tlal adjustments, a winter of carefree
ariving should be enjoyed.
Gasoline Consumption
Shows Big Yearly Gain
‘One of the most encouraging fac-
tors in the present situation—as seen
by the automobile builder—is the
continued climb of gasoline consump-
tion. Figures attest the growing im-
portance of the automobile in social
and business life,
‘The most recent official statistics
on gas consumption, as drawn from
tax returns in 43 states, reveal 4,019,-
000,000 gallons used in the first five
months of this year, or a 10.5 per cent
increase over the same period of 1929,
‘This gain is far in excess of motor
registration increase.
With California, New York and
Minols not tabulated, Montana
Beores the greatest gain over 1929
‘with 29.5 per cent. Idaho had a 28
per cent increase, Iowa 27. Other
states that registered above 20 per
cent were Wisconsin, New Mexico,
Rhode Island, South Carolina and New
Bampehire. ~

BLOW BUBBLES
Soap bubbles, usually consid-
ered the product of childish sport,
have been put to practical use by
engineers of The Ohio’ Bell Tele-
phone Company in the installation
and maintenance of telephone
cables.
The “soapsud test,” as it is
known, was evolved by the en-
gineers to detect breaks in tele-
phone cable sheaths through
which moisture would seep into in-
sulated copper circuits. As the
copper telephone wires are covered
with paper insulation which loses
effectiveness when dampened, it is
highly important to efficient oper-
ation that cable sheaths be water-
proof.
During installation of a new
cable, the sheath is covered with
a soap application at points where
two cable sections are joined. Then
a specially prepared nitrogen gas
is forced into the cable sheath
from a cylinder until 2 maximum
pressure of 45 pounds is reached
inside. Soap bubbles are formed
by gas escaping through any
small openings or crevices in the
sheath, thus enabling telephone
workmen to locate the leaks and
take steps to remedy them, This
entire process is called “gas pres-
sure testing.”
Pressure Is Checked
Gas pressure testing is used on
a larger seale in long distance tele-
phone cables. Long stretches of
these cables are filled with gas.
Fach 10-mile section has three
gauges located at intervals. When
a leak permits the gas pressure to
fall below a certain point, the de-
pression on the gauge automat
ically establishes an electrical cir-
cuit, which in turn rings a warning
bell in the telephone office. Ap-
proximately 85 per cent of the
lorg distance cables in Ohio are
filled with gas for the purpose of
detecting leaks,
This method of locating cable
leaks permits repairs to be made
before service is impaired.
Regular commereial telephone
service has been inaugurated by
the American Telephone and ‘Tele-
graph Company between North
America and Australia, according
to officials of The Ohio Bell Tele-
phone Co,
‘The circuit to be employed in
this service is by far the longest
ever established for regular com-
mercial telephony. It _ consists
principally of two radio links, one
across the Atlantic and the other
between England and Australia,
With the wire lines involved in the
connection, the circuit between
New York and Sydney, Australia,
is more than 14,000 miles long.
The service is available to ail
points in the United States and
Cuba and to the principal cities of
Mexico. In Australia, it covers
the states of Queensland, New
South Wales, and Victoria and the
City of Adelaide. This adds near-
ly half a million telephones, serv-
ing a population of some five and
a half million, to the network now
within the rench of Bell System
stations.

land and other Ohio points ond

Telephone Call Scores Triple
On Hotel Porch
Three of a kind in a game of
cards is quite ordinary, but three
men with the same name in the
same place at the same time is
quite extraordinary.
Recently three men were sitting
on the porch of the Hotel Tam-
worth in Tamworth, N. H., when
a telephone call for Mr. Fred
Huntress was announced. The men
arose simultaneously and started
toward the waiting telephone.
After a moment of confusion the
men were introduced as Fred
Huntress, of Lynn, Mass.; Fred
Huntress, of Freedom, N. H., and
Fred Huntress, of’ Tamworth.
‘They were not related.
