How Atlanta Cable Is Made To Stand Copper Wire Mwt Be Protected Against Dangers Of The Sea. A modem submarine cable is an intricate piece of work. Not just so many strands of copper wire covered with insulation. Indeed there are numerous "layers" to the new cable. The Bay Roberts-Horta cable, for example, employs three different types of core. The two ends of the cable, each extending about 160 miles from j shore, have a core consisting of 50 pounds of copper per nautical mile and 300 pounds of gutta percha per nautical mile. The next section, which is about 70 miles long on each end, has a core of 325 pounds of copper per nautical mile, 50 pounds of mumental per nautical mile and 270 pounds of gutta per* cha per nautical mile. The main section of this cable has a core which contains 280 pounds of cop per per nautical mile, SO pounds of mumetal and 225 pounds of gutta percha. For the entire section of the cable the eentral copper conductor is sur rounded by five spirally wound cop per strips. The new alloy, known as mumental, originated in the labora tories of the Western Electric com pany, is applied to the form of a small wire wrapping around the copper. This is one of the factors which permit the new cable to transmit four messages to each di rection at ©nee. Around the gutta percha in the shallower water the core is sur rounded by a thin brass tape, 4 mils thick. This tape is put there as a protection against sea animalcule. The core is then covered with jute yarn, which is treated with a pre servative compound. This jute yam serves to provide sufficient bulk to the eable so that the armor wires will form a closed circle around it. Over the jute, sheathing wires are twisted in long spirals. This sheath ing protects the cable and provides the requisite tensile strength. In the deep sea section each sheathing wire is covered with a special pre servative compound and a tape. A jute yarn over this tape constitutes the outer core preservative cover ing of the cable. The lew Western Union cable be tween Bay Roberts and Horta was made in England by the Telegraph Construction and Maintenance company. Work on it was begun in April of this year and completed late in July. It cost $1,800,000. SIMMONS LIKELY TO SPEAK m Senator Indicates Likelihood of Second Political Attack On Governor Smith. New Bern. Oct. 15.—While Sena tor F. M. Simmons, senior sen ator from North Carolina and re cently resigned national Democratic committeeman from North Carolina, declined tonight to make definite announcement he indicated that he probably will make another politi cal speech before the presidential election date. He said that he was not sure that he would make another and did not at this time know the time and place of his deliverance, but con sidered it likely that he would speak somewhere in the state again before j election date. Senator Simmons vigorously at tacked the candidacy of Governor Smith in his initial address of the campaign at New Bern. He de clared Lis intention to take active I part in defeating the nominee after ! he resigned his post as the state's national Democratic committee ! man following the nomination of i Governor Smith at Houston.

Doctor In North Carolina Is Hailed As Benefactor In Section Average* About four Hours Sloop Each Night. Rags On Gate Posts. Or. William T. Griggs, of Cur rituok county. North Carolina is hailed a$ the bonofactor of a large coast area of his home state by The American Maga zine which, in Its November is sue, relates how he is almost constantly on the road, watch ing for white rags tied to gate posts, a signal that there is ill ness in the house beyond. Dr Griggs, one of the few stir- j vtving types of family doctors who i in the old days were indispensable' benefactors of their communities, :is | 60 years old and has practiced for ! more than thirty years in his com - I nuinity. He left a thriving city : practice to go back to the commun j ity which he believes needed him. : After leaving the University of Vir i cinia and setting up a p-actice in , Charlottesville, Va., he returned to | Poplar Branch, near his old home i and since that time has. been;, work - j mg day and night in the interest of ! his old neighbors. j "Is it a fact that you only set tour hours sleep a night?" the interview * er ashed him. ! He studied tor a moment and j I then said: "I'll average about that, j I reckon I remember a period o£ five ] ■ weeks, during an epidemic of meas- J i les. in which I never removed my! j cloches. Then the only sleep I got ; | was nodding while riding in iny bug gy from house to house." Before automobiles came into use. ; Doctor Griggs kept eight driving I horses and two drivers. "I kept my I drivers so busy I had to keep rais 5 ing their pay to hold them Now j that I use an automobile, it isn't ; so hard on me. I “It's quite different now from | what it was when I first started j practicing. Then, the roads were I nothing more than trails. We had 1 no automobiles and no telephones [in this section. I,had hard going to j reach my patients. I remember, i soon after I began practicing here. ' i was called to visit a lady seventy j years old who was suffering from peritonitis. There was no way to get her to a hospital and I was up against it," An old doctor who had retired was living near me. so I sent for him. He came and looked my pa tient over Then he said, 'William. ' if she isn't carried to a hospital she's going to die; but there's no way to get her to one. If you op erate she's going to die anyway With his help however. I performed the operation and my patient got ! well and lived to be eighty-five j That was one of my first cases and one that I am proudest of." The doctor has a thirty-mile trip j of beach in his territory. On this beach live members of the Coast ] Guard with their families, gun ! clubs guides, and fishermen. The ! only way to reach this region Is by boat, across a treacherous body of water from three to six miles wide. “A few years ago, one of the guides at the gun club on the beach had hla arm shot to pieces. The sound was frozen over, and we were having a terrible snowstorm. In some places the ice would hold a person up, and in some places it wouldn't. It took three men and a boat to get me over there. We shoved the boat through the ice un til it was cut through and started leaking; then we got it on the ice and managed to get across. I am putated the arm and saved my pa tient; but I didn t get home until the following day. When I did ar rive, I was wearing two storm coats and a lady’s neckpiece. You see, my patients take good care of me.” Doctor Griggs gives more than his services to the poor. It is said of him that on many occasions when he visited homes and found the oc cupants in destitute circumstances he not only refused to make a charge for his services but had groceries sent at his own expense, until the head of the family was able to get back to work again. When questioned concerning the rags on the gate posts along the highway, Doctor Griggs smiled. "That's a system of grapevine telegraph,” said, "that my patients picked up from their mountain kin folks. You see. a great many of them do not have telephones; but they know' I travel that road both day and night, every day in the year. So if there is anyone sick in any of these homes which do not have telephones, they hang a white rag on the gate post in the dary and a lantern at night. I always look for them, and I haven't missed one yet.” William T. Griggs is more than a physician. He is a friend and a neighbor whose pleasure in life is helping those who cannot help themselves. For more than thirty years he has been too busy help ing others, in fact, to give a thought to his own comfort.
