WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 23 ’27 AGRICULTURAL SCIENTISTS PICTURES WORLD OF “NEMAS” What the world would be like if all the mineral and plant features were removed and all the animals swept away with the single except- ion of the nemas is pictured in a pamphlet just issued by the United States Department of Agriculture as Seperate 942-Y from the Year- book for 1926, Nemas, or nemato- des, are ordinarily known to laymen when they are known at all, as roundworms. But most of them are not generally known or recognized. Many are microscope in size—as small as one two-hundred-and-fiftie- th of an inch in length—and most live in places well hidden from casual view. But the nemas are among the most abundant and widespread forms of life. So abundant are they, the writer says, that “if all the other matter in the universe could be magically swept away and we could then as disembodied spirits revisit these scenes we should find them still recognizable. There would still ex- ist in space a hollow sphere, the size of the earth, represented by a sur- face film composed of the nemas formerly inhabiting the mundane soils and waters, plants and anim- als. We could recognize lakes, riv- ers and oceans by the nemas pec- uliar to them, So, too, we could recognize the soil and tell where there had been one kind of soil and where another. We could recog- nize the cities by accumulations of nemas peculiar to human beings and domesticated animals and plants, The trees would still stand in ghostly rows along the streets, represented by the nemas that once inhabited the bark of their trunks and branches.” In recent years been studying the creased interest and are learning many things about them. One feature of the nemas is the great difference in relative size of the representative group. Some are no more than four one-thousandths of an inch in length, others several feet long. If there were a compara- tive difference in size vertebrate animals the largest would be a good fraction of a mile long instead of about a 100 feet long, as is actually the case of the largest fossil remains discovered. Nemas @re economically impbrt- ant because they cause some of the most destructive diseases of plants and animals. The pamphlet outlines several of the new developments in nematology, gives brief descriptions of the complex structures found in even the tiniest nemas, describes the widespread of their existence, and suggests the biological signifi- cance of the phylum, and the conception of their relations with other forms of life. A limited number of copies of Separate '942-Y are available for distribution to. those interested and may be obtained on application to the Department of Agriculture, ‘Washington, D, C. rr ll Arr scientists have nemas with in- We're at your service when you Installation of New Bell Telephone Cable in Western Pennsylvania is Engineering Fe. 6000 Miles of New Wire at a Cost of $200,000 is Being Rapidly Constructed b the Mountainous Region West of Pittsburgh “Arty Upper—Rebuilding pole line between McDonald and Burgettstown. Right—The poles were erected by derricks mounted on Bell trucks. By C. J. MCINTYRE Over the wild and hilly districts of Western Pennsylvania and traveling almost due west from Pittsburgh goes the new telephone cable which is being placed by the Bell Telephone Company of Pennsylvania at a cost of approximately $200,000. Glinting in the sun on mountain tops in some places and through gloomy woods and rocky gorges in others, the new cable which will form an ultimate link in the system of telephone communi- cation between Pittsburgh and Steu- benville, Ohio, is being consiructed under great natural handicaps. Mod- ern construction machines and equip- ment are being used to rapidly over- come obstacles which would have tried the patience of the pyramid-building Egyptians. Carnegie and Burgettstown, both in Pennsylvania, are the terminals of the new link of cable. While the distance from one terminal to the other is but twenty miles, the natural disadvan- tages of this rocky and hilly region to all types of pole line construction have contributed to making the in- stallation of the cable a remarkable engineering feat. There is also need for protecting the telephone wires from the effects of the high-tension electric wires and the burning culm banks found in this region. About six thousand miles of copper wire will be installed. It will be used for replacing all telephone lines now in place between the terminal towns and will also provide additional lines for new telephones and more toll lines in the section. Nothing but a heavy cable would be adequate to satisfac. torily handle the great volume of tele- phone calls that every day pass over THE MOUNT JOY BULLETIN, MOUNT JOY, LANCASTER CO.. PA. these wires from Pittsburgh to points west. The intervening country between Pittsburgh and Steubenville has been growing rapidly of recent years and the weather marks on the horizon in- dicate that this growth will be con- tinuous in the future. Additional wires in the new cable will take care of this growth for a long period. While the greater demands for tele- phone service are a large factor in the placing of the new cable, the present construction will also enable the Tele- phone Company to replace the open wire lines and the older cables now in use. In the section between Car- negie and McDonald the present cable, which has been in use for several vears, will be taken down and re- placed. While the older cable is still able to adequately serve its purpose the time is not far off where a contin- uation of the old lines might cause a let-down in the high standard of Bell telephone service and a consequent in- convenience to telephone subscribers. The open telephone lines between McDonald and Burgettstown also have about reached their capacity. It is felt by telephone officials that cable is preferable in this section and the old lines are accordingly being re- moved and replaced by the new con- struction. Cable will protect the tele- phone lines from the effects of the many high-tension electric wires in the area and is a more substantial insurance against injury to the tele- phone plant from storm causes. H. L. Miller, the construction fore- man who is in charge of the work for the. Telephone Company, estimates Upper—Bringing up the cable reels by tractor between Carnegie and McDonald. and 2000 miles of wire connecting with subscribers’ telephones will be placed. This is sufficient to build a complete single line from Pittsburgh to San Francisco and back again, with enough left over to run another com- plete circuit across the state to Phila- delphia. While the amount of copper alone in this work is enough to make this one of the premier construction jobs of the year, the difficulties en- countered daily are sufficient to raise it to the rank of an outstanding en gineering accomplishment. In general the new cable will fols low the route of the P. C. C. and S. Ia Railroad. In places where right-of< way privileges are secured in appro priate places a little off the main road and where the lines can be better prod tected by avoiding burning cul banks or high-tension wires, detours are being made. New poles are being transported and delivered by teams while the cable reels are being transported by moto: tractors. These motor tractors a: very powerful and are able to carry, heavy ° ads across broken ground that m ¥ t be impassable by any other means. All deliveries of material are being handled just so far in advance of the work to maintain steady proge ress and to insure its being carefully cared for. About sixty-five per cent of the work is already finished. While the job was not started until toward the end of last April it is planned to have it completed by January of 1928.

Gifford, of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company, stated that “it would be contrary to sound policy for the management to earn specula- tive or large profits for distribution as ‘melons’ or extra dividends.” WALTER S. GIFFORD “On the other hand,” he continued, “payments to stockholders limited to reasonable regular dividends with their right, as the business requires new money from time to time to make further investments on favorable terms, are to the interest both of the telephone users and of the stock- holders. “Earnings must be sufficient to as- sure the best possible telephone ser- vice at all times and to assure the continued financial integrity of the business. Earnings that are less than adequate must result in telephone ser- vice that is something less than the best possible. Earnings in excess of these requirements must either be spent for the enlargement and im- provement of the service furnished or the rates charged for the service must be reduced. This is fundamental in the policy of the management.” Mr. Gifford also said that the own- ership is so widespread that it im- poses an unusual obligation on the management to see to it that the sav- ings of these hundreds of thousands of people are secure and remain so. Another obligation, he pointed out, was the fact that on the American Telephone and Telegraph Company and its Associated Companies, like the Bell Telephone Company of Pennsyl- vania, rests the responsibility for such a large part of the entire telephone service of the country. This also im- poses on the management an unusual obligation to the public to see to it that the service shall at all times be adequate, dependable and satisfactory to the user.

Old Reliable The salesman, passing through the back country of Georgia for the first time, was trying to demonstrate the merits of a new brand of lye. The old storekeeper listened politely and when the booster began to weaken he re- marked: “All them things you say about this new kind of lye may be true but we have so many other brands of lies around here I don’t think I'll try any.” Out of Luck Old Mose Parker was pretty sick and the darkey doctor promptly put him to bed and laid down all sorts of rales and regulations as to sleep and diet.
