If every man. woman and child In the United States did his share of talking over the tele phone Inst year, each would be en titled to 176 completed calls, accord ing to figures compiled by the Illinois Committee on Public Utility Informa tion. Thexommlttee reports twenty bil lion telephone conversations In 1922 over the 14.300.000 telephones then in use. To handle the business 30.1.000 persons were employed by the 63,100 telephone companies, and, the com mittee Impressively adds, the 29.701,- 000 miles of wire used would encircle the globe 1.193 times at the equator. In other words there is enough of the wire to run six-two double telephone circuits from the earth to the ranen at Its mean dlstsnce from the earth, and still have 90.000 miles or so feft over for other purposes. Since Dr. Alexander Graham Bell Invented the telephone In 187S the industry had grown with such amax- lng speed, that the United States with nnlv a sixteenth or tne wona s popu lation, now possesses two-tnnras oi all the telephones In use. The 15.000.000 telephone poles In use says the statist iclsn would build a railroad trestle thirty feet high from Chlcsgo to Buenos Aires, while the additlona and replacements each year would carry a telephone line two-thirds the way around the earth. In 1900. he reports, there was one telephone for every 90 persons: In 1905 one for each 34: In 1910 one to each 1: In 1915 one to each 11, and in l?l one to each eight. Next to Americans the people of Denmark are th most telephonlcally talkative on earth. In 1920, when Americana averaged ISO conversa tions per annum for each man, woman and child, the Danes were second with its Norway and Sweden were third and fourth, both averaging above 100 RELATIVES TO GET AID Local Legion Post Offers to Assist Relatives of Deceased Veterans in Securing Application Blanks (tlv t'nitert Press) POTTSVILLE, l'enn., Feb. 21.

Foreign Minister Ismet Paaha concluded his report on the Lausanne conlerence to u ; commT..."ryU"counc,I yesterday- t?!.!" Tombstones for the graves of all men who died In the service of their country during the last war, .may be procured from the government by the relatives of the deceased veterans upon application to the government, according to notice received by Ump qua Post of the American Legion and presented at last night's meeting. The government will supply tomb stones and will deliver them without charge to the nearest freight elation. The local post will be glad to assist any of the relatives of deceased vet erans In obtaining the necessary ap plication blanks and all those Interest ed are requested to see or wire I'on McCllntork, adjutant of Umpqua Post. The meeting last nlKht was well attended and a great deal of Interest was shown in the various maljers under discussion. Twenty-eight new members were added as a result of the membership drive which Is now underway showing a remarkable growth which Is very encouraging. It was broucht to tlie attention of the post that several local ex service men. who have applied for loans under the bonus art. have not been given a 75 per cent loan on their property. Whether Is the fault of the commis sion or of the appraisement has not been determined by the local post bill an effort will be made at once to find out why a full 75 per cent loan has not been given In compliance with the provisions of the bonus act. In one case property worth easllv $6,000 was allowed a loan of only l.rW. while farm pmpertv valued In excess of 13.500 obtained only $1,500 and 12.000 loans. Every effort will be put forth by the local post-to see that the men ecela the amounts which are Justly due them. Attorneys Carl Wlmberly snd Guy Cordon, were appointed by Com mander E. B.

Unless an unforsern c.l.l spell Is experienced Within the next two weeks, broccoli will go to the markets ln an unusually . fine con dition and the growers will harvest me largest crop ever known here. Conditions have been exceptionally gooo tor tne growl n of broccoli. Th late summer and fall weather brought about a raold growth that during the winter the plants were well advanced and were hardy and strong enough to stand the small amount of cold weather which was experienced during the winter months. Broccoli will withstand some very cold weather providing the cold does not last too long. This year, however, up lo the present time the mercury has not reached a point low enough to do anv daniuge. Many growers who have not grown broccoli formerly, have a small amount of acreage this year, while there are several growers who have put out a large number of acres to this crop and will huvo a big yield. From every standpoint It appears that the ecreage and yield will be far In advance of any previous year. It Is roughly estimated at this time that there will be In excess cf 150 carloads of broccoli shipped out of the valley, and It la possible that the crop may run nearer the 200 carload mark. The heads are of a very good size and will bring the top market price. It Is expected that the growers will receive a very good price this season. The bulk of the California cauliflower crop has been disposed of and although cauliflower will he on the market at the same time the broccoli is Ih-Iiik shipped, the market will not be glutted and there will Je a growing demand so that there should be no . trouble or delay In marketing the product.

Quarters have been lensed at the Itoseliurg lef Plant, in South Roseburg, and a warehouse and office have been con structed adjoining that building. This will permit three ears to be spotted on the siding at one time and the cars can be Iced and loaded at the snme time so that there will be no delay In shifting them around as was formerly necessary. This will reduce the overhead expense and at the same time will speed up the rhipmenls. RUHR COMMUNISTS OUZING FORCES (Ry United Preil.l AMSTERDAM, Feb. 21.

The team expects on next Friday night, when It meeta Mie Kugene high school here to prove to local fans that it haa recovered from the -slump which resulted so dlsaateroua ly last week and If determination counts for anything the Eugene school wllf get the worst drubbing It has had thla season. The Eugene high school defeated Roseburg at Eugene by a score of 18 to 15 but only after the game had been tied and an extra period was made necessary. Roseburg put up a strong fight at Eugene but the tricky passing used by the Eugene players gave them the game over tho local team. Roseburg haa solved this trick pass, used by the Eugene team and broke up similar passes used by Medford at the last game here with little trouble. Roseburg will have the advantage of being on the home floor and should take the game without much trouble. - The hoys are not going to be sat isfied, however, with a mere victory. Thev are goliur to try to prove an ability to come-back, and play to gether. The team work which was so badly TUsrupted during the Med ford game Is expected to be featured In Friday's contest and local fans are assured of a real game. Roseburg will play Medford . at Medford early next month and Uala game will determine the Southern Oregon Championship. Medford beat Roseburg here and It now becomes necessary for Roseburg to beat Med ford on that team's floor or else for feit all chances for the Southern Oregon title. It Is clearly a great handicap before the Roseburg play ers, but they are determined to win and are working hard to build up an offensive which will be effective In the coming battle. The results) -of this practice will lie In evidence Fri day nlgJit It is believed and fans are urged to lve the local team their support. The main game will be preceded by a preliminary between the Christ ian church team and the Boy Scouts. The girls' team of the local high school goes to Medford and Grants Pass over the week end. A gmuo will be plnyed wllh Medford girls on Friday night and with Grant Pass on Saturday. Tne tirams ra SALEM GIRLS CHARGED WITH MANSLAUGHTER SALEM. Feb. 21.
