Spinners Defeat Weavers.
A baseball game of much interest
tvas played at the Burnett Park Sat
urday afternoon between the Flor
ence Mill spinners and the weavers.
The Spinners won the game by a
score of 3 to 2. It was a pitching
duel between Dickie Owens and Ed
Scruggs. Owens slightly outpitched
Scruggs principally on account of his
extra sweat shirt. Burnett relieved
Owens in the fifth, and after throw
ing one ball in ex-mayor Lowrance's
back door he decided he was not in
form for the afternoon's work. Jim
Robertson made a sensational play
by going all the way from second
base to the pitcher's box to catch a
high fly.
-The umpire, Mr. N. H. Welch,
made a beautiful dodge of Huntley's
wild throw over to the coach on third
base. The ball went high and a trav
eling salesman retrieved it from the
bushes near Alexander. Slim Con
drey, the big right-hander,' delayed
the game for awhile by using the ball
to warm up, but for some reason
could not get in form. Curt Nanney
failed to come through with a hit,
his alibi being that he had no uni
form. Fatty Sorrels brought the fans
in the grand stand, and bleachers, to
their feet by making a long runjiing
catch of a high fly, but. couldn't get
his hands together, and the ball fell
among the thorns and thistles.
TELEPHONE ASSISTS CUPID
IN THE TYING OF KNOTS !
When Albert Settle and Miss Mar
jorie Curran were married at Port
land, Ore., Mrs. E. G. Elsener,
mother of the bridegroom, was un
able to leave her home in Omaha,
Neb. However, this did not pre
vent her taking an active part in
the ceremony, for, by means of
Long Distance telephone service,
she talked to her son just before
the marriage, then listened to the
ceremony, and afterwards congratu
lated the young couple and sent
them her blessing.
Similarly, "William J. North of
Minneapolis "attended" the wed'
ding of his daughter in Seattle,
Wash.
Still another instance of the tele
phone's part in the affairs of Cupid
is reported from Cedar Rapids, la.
Mr. and Mrs. Forrest Stewart had
gone to New York City on a honey
moon. While in New York they
went to the steamship Olympic, os
tensibly to dine with friends who
were sailing that evening. During
the course of the dinner, the bride
was called to the telephone, and it
was not until then, when her par
ents back in Cedar Rapids wished
her "bon voyage" that she found
out that, in reality, she was bound
for a European honeymoon, the
trip having been arranged as a sur
prise by the groom.
Sticking to her post -while the
flames raged scarcely five feet
away just outside the door, Miss
Lila Edwards, night telephone op
erator at Crescent Lake Village,
Me., put in calls for apparatus
from Auburn and Mechanic Falls/
and for volunteers from',.various
nearby points, to fighta fireTiwiiich

BLACK AND GOLD
ARE TAG COLORS
1931 Car License Plates to Be
Attractive, Commissioner
Maxwell Says.
Raleigh, July 21.— North Caro
lina's 1931 automobile license tags
will represent a classy black and old
1 gold color combination, Commission
er of Revenue A, J. Maxwell an
nounced today. Next year's tags, Mr.
Maxwell said, will have a black back
s ground with old gold numerals.,
• The plates will be manufactured
at state prison by convict labor and
i will, it was estimated, cost the
; state about 10 cents a pair. One
million will be manufactured.
Mr. Maxwell believes the new col
or combination will show up much
' better than that of the 1930 plates.
The A. B. and C. classifications to
indicate the different types of ma
chines will be changed to numerals
from 1 to 4 of different sizes from
those of the license number, it was
announced.
l ITELEVISION SHOWS
i IMAGE EIGHTEEN
i TIMES
! Apparatus Theagh Improved Is'
I Still Bulky, Expensive
aed Complicated
Those wh& kave witnessed the
recent two-way television demon
strations in Kfw York City and
have been abiu to compare them
with the demonstration by the Bell
Telephone Laboratories in 1927
have noted the fact that the tele
vision image U now greatly im
proved. The image appears with
swift detail for recognition of facial
expression, but the effect is some
what like looking zt an animated
cabinet-size photograph. What one
sees is like an instantaneous mov
ing picture dono in black on a white
background.
jThis imago has detail made up
of about five thousand discrete
points of light, and is formed eight
een times a seccnd. The photoelec
tric cells used In picking up light
from the face fcave been much im
proved in sensitiveness and give
rise to about ten times the current
for the same amount of light as did
those developed for the earlier dem
onstration in 1927. r
At the time of the recent demon
stration of two-way television, Dr.
Jewett, Vice-President of the
American Telephone and Telegraph
Company, said: "While the equip
ment now available for television
is simpler and more efficient than
that employed in the 1927 demon
strations, and the results are very
greatly improved, the terminal ap
paratus is still inherently compli
cated and expensive. This compli
cation arises out of the necessity
for producing, transmitting and re
producing a large number of dis
tinct images each second if good re
sults are to be obtained. No prac
tical suggestions for eliminating
this fundamental requirement have'
as yet been made and there appears
to be nothing promising in our pres
ent knowledge of physical science."
Facts About the Telephone'
There are nearly 7,000 telephones
in the Equitable Building in New
York City. ****%■
India has a very low telephone
development, with but one instru
ment to every 5,000 persons. India,
however, ranks second in world's
population.
In preparation for the increased:
telephone demands, because of the;
performances of the Passion Play,;
the Oberammergau telephone sys
tem was changed this spring to the
automatic type.
Des Moines, la., gained almost
as many new telephones in the first
four months of 1930 as it did dur
ing the entire year ot 1929. Sixty
five per cent of the city's tele
phones are in residences and the
remaining thirty-five per cent are
in business use.
Dallas leads the cities of Texas
in telephone development with 26.5
instruments per hundred inhab
itants. Next comes Galveston with
24 per hundred persons, and Fort
Worth with 23 to each hundred in
population. Houston follows Fort
Worth, with San Aatonlo holding
last place among the leading popu
lar centers of the State.
It takes twenty-three days to
reach Buenos Aires, the capital of
Argentina, by fast boat from New
York, and twenty days to reach
Santiago, Chili. It requires about
a week for the newly established
air mail to travel between New
York and Buenos Aires. It requires
but a fraction of a second for the
voice currents to pass between the
two cities by the new radio tele
phone service.
