“Many illnesses and accidents
which will prove fatal if no physi-
cian is quickly available are easily
cured, the Major pointed out, by
prompt professional aid.
“No small part of the lower
death-rates of cities in recent
decades may be ascribed, it is prob-
able, to telephones, improved am-
bulance service, and so on, rather
than to sanitation or medical
advances.
«Qimilar effects of poor com-
munications may be important also,
it is suggested, as one cause of the
relatively high death-rates in so-
called backward nations, often
ascribed instead to poor food and
bad sanitation.”

The infiuence of good telephone
service on the death rate of a com-
munity was emphasized recently in
Great Britain by Major Burdon
Evans before the Montgomeryshire
Health Insurance Committee. Says
i Pr. E. E. Free in his Week's Science

! “In the Machynlleth Rural Dis-
trict of Wales, Major Evans re-
ported, the death-rate for the past
nine years had been 16.1 persons

four serious tornadoes occurred. Fire
also took toll of life and property in
twenty-four communities. Seven forest
fires did great damage; eighteen areas
were affected by floods, and nine
storms caused heavy losses. Other
disasters were cloudbursts, cyclones,
epidemics, mine explosions and ship-
wrecks. In the insular possessions of
the United States the Red Cross gave
relief in twelve disasters, chiefly from
hurricanes. In foreign countries re-
lief was given by the American Red
Cross in six instances of earthquakes,
floods and to refugees.

160,000 Operators Required at
Swiichboards to Handle
Bell System Calls.
Notwithstanding the rapid exten-
sion of the dial method of telephone
operation, the number of women em-
ployees in the Bell System is cor
stantly increasing.
Dial telephones were first intro.
duced in the Bell System in 1920. At
that time there were 128,000 women
operators. In the decade from 1920
to 1930, about 28 per cent. of the Bell
System’s telephones have been placed
on the. dial basis, and during the
same period, because of the large
increase in the number of subscribers,
the number of women operators has

Berserker Rage
In Norse mythology Berserk was the
grandson of the eight-handed Stark-
hadder. He always went into battle
without armor and was famed for
the reckless fury with which he
fought, Among those slain by him
was King Swafurlam, by whose daugh-
ter he had twelve sons equal to him-
self in bravery. These sons of Ber-
gerk were called berserkers, a term
which thus became synonymous with
fury and reckless courage.—Pathfind-
