This Is The Birthday Of Inventor Of Telephone Alexander Graham Bell, Seventy-five Years Old, Writes Interestingly To National Geographic Society Of Facts In Connection With Begin nings Of His Invention Washington, March 3 (Special) .Boll A Graham r 1331 Conn av' Franklin-fiS." , The way his name Is listed in the1 'telephone directory of Washington! gives an authentic hint of the char-1 ; acter of the man who invented the i telephone. : Telephone companies have two kinds of vanities to contend with. ', One class of subscribers wish special,1 distinctive numbers; in Washington alone there are more than a thousand , of the second class who seek ex ! clusiveness or would avoid possible; annoyance by not having their name' in the directory at all. The latter ; are known as "unlisted" telephones. The inventor of the telephone ex , hlbits neither vanity nor does he in Isist, apparently, upon that almost! j universal preference that his name,' (Alexander Graham Bell) should be' i printed in full. More Thnn 8,0M) Telephone Patents , The other day, with the same : sort of modesty, he told a group of officials in the United States Patent Office: "I rather think that you know more about the telephone than I 'do." He then called attention to the more than 8,000 patents relating to telephones granted since he ob tained the original patent of March 17, 1876. , In connection with the observance of T)r. Jlell'R seventy-fifth birthday,; on March 3, the National Geographic Society quotes from a communication i 'i wnich nr. new asserts that hie in- vention of the telephone really be- Ran with his grandfather. Alexander Bell, of London, England, who died grandfather Dr. Bell writes: ."He was an elocutionist and a cor rector of defective utterance. He was the first in the family to'Make up the study of the mechanism of speech with the object of correcting defects of speech by explaining to his pivplls the correct positions of the vocal organs In uttering the sounds that were defective." Boyish Experiments With Speech Dr. Bell then recounts the boyish experiments he made with vocal ut terance, IndludMng an nit tempt to make a dog talk. And, on his sev- enty-flfth birthday, the inventor still Is to be found In his laboratory, often working until 3 or 4 o'clock In the morning, experimenting with the. same keen, boyish zest. Continu-! Ing his boyhood remlnlscenses Dr., Bell writes: "My father, Alexander Melville Rell, of Edinburgh, Scotland, was also an elocutionist and corrector of defective utterance. "I was always much Interested In my father's examinations of the mouths of his elocutionary pupils. They differed in an extraordinary de gree In size and shape, and yet all these var at ons seemed to he niilte ... i consistent with perfect speech. I then began to wonder whether there was anything In the mouth of a dog to prevent It from speaking, and 'commenced to make experiments I'wTlh ' art Intelligent Sfcyr terrier we possessed.

I found It possible to completely close the passageway at the back of the mouth, and a succession of pushes of thls character resulted In the syl- lables 'ga-ga-ga-ga,' etc. "The simple growl was an ap- nroxiination of the vowel 'ah.' and tes, followed by a gradual construc tion and 'rounding' of the labial ori fice by the hand, became converted Into the diphthong 'ow,' as In the word 'how' (ah-oo), and we soon obtained the final element by Itself an Imperfect 'no.' The dog's rep ertoire of sounds finally consisted of the vow'tfs 'ah' and 'oo,' the dlph 'Twas A Small Bite For The Pelican St. Petersburg, Kla., Mar. 3 (My The Associated Press) A pelican, one of those huge, long beaked marine birds that poise themselves a hundred feet above the water, clone their wings and with beaks open dive head foremost into schools of small fish, finished a golf game here recently "one down." The Coffee Pot course is along the shore of Tampa Bay and on the eleventh hole Is a small 'brackish lake forming a water hazard which must be crossed to reach the green. One member of a foursome drove from the tee and a strong wind carried the ball into the lake. A pelican flying lazily above the lake evidently took the ball bobbing on the surface ror a new variety of fish for he suddenly closed his wings, dropped with terrific speed, and gobbled it. To Assure Permanence Of The Lfifi Memcrial In order to provide a fitting mem orial of General Robert- E. Lee, the United Daughters of the Confeder- aT nu me son. i omeneraie vei- erans are sponsoring a campaign to secure an endowment to assure that the Lee mausoleum and chapel, the priceless recumbent statue of the great general, his office as he left It on the last day of his work there, and the many art works of great value that hang In the chapel, shall be permanently looked after. The new campaign will be to se cure money for the Lee Memorial Fund; and subscriptions will be re ceived locally by Mrs. T. G. Skinner, 205 Church street, In amounts from twenty-five cents up. Mrs. Skinner, Mrs. C. H. Robinson and Mrs. W. L. Cohoon constitute trie Lee Memorial Fund Committee of the local chapter of the Daughters of the Confed eracy. Contrary to a widespread popular Idea, General Lee Is burled at Lexing ton, Va., and not at Arlington, the old Lee home which was confiscated by the Federal Government during the Civil War, but which was later 'bought of the Lee family by Con gress. The tomb of Lee Is In a memorial chapel which Is annually visited by thousands of tourists; and it is planned also to enlarge this chapel without materially altering the eastern wing, In which the mau soleum. General Lee's office, and the recumbent statue are located. No special "drive" will be made for funds, but Southerners every where are given an opportunity to give much or little, as they are able, toward an enduring memorial for the Smith's greatest sorr: thong 'ow,' and the syllables 'ma' and 'ga.'

This Is the only foundation for the news paper stories that I had once suc- - ceeded In teaching a dog to speak.'
