NEW GABLE CUTS
OFF AMATEURS
Seven-way Radiophone Ca
ble Installed Near Avalon,
Santa Catalina Island
(Bv Associated Press)
AVALON, Santa Catalina Island,
.Tuly 13. iMliking seven conversations
flow wliere but one flowed before is
the enpineerinrf achievement cred
ited to telephone engineers, who
have just finished laying what is
said to be the world's first one-pair
submarine telephone cable between
this island off the Southern Cali
fornia coast and the mainland, 25
miles away.
Before the introduction of radio
telephony, island dwellers here hail
to depend on the mails for com
munication. With the wireless came
relief of a sort for with a radio
"talk bridge" linking the island tel
ephone line with the vast network of
wires covering the mainland, one
could carry on ' a conversation with
any point in the United States.
Only, one conversation could be
carried1 on at a time by this method,
however, and the conversation usual
ly found its way into thousands of
amnteur radio sets as well as the
telephone company's receiving device,
thus losing all vestige of privacy.
The last-mentioned difficulty was
overcome recently by means of a
word-scrambling device which made
island telephone conversations unin
telligible to "outside" receiving sets.
Now that the one-pair cable is in
place, however, as many as seven
conversations can be carried on
simultaneously between lAvalon and
the mainland! The interesting fea
ture tf the one-pair cable is tHat
the seven conversations flow sim
ultaneously over a single strand of
copper wire in the center of the
cable, a system of vauiated frequen
cies similar to that used in radio
telephony making this possible.
Th ship whicK laid the cable is as
interesting as the engineering
achievement in which it played a
part- It is the United States Army
cable ship Dellwood, which came all
the way from Alaska to pay out
the CO miles of heavily insulated
and armored wire across the channel
separating Santa Catalina Island
from the mainland. The channel is
only 2o miles wide, but its unusual
dep'th resuired ".0 miles each for the
two cable lines, which traverse the
ocean bed two miles apart and comej
together at the mainland and Mand
terminals.
The Dellwood's Filipino cable crew
Is used- to deep-water jobs, however.
Filipinos make the ebest cablemen
obtainable, according to Captain Per
sons, in charge of the vessel's laying
and repair operations
"Our Filipinos don't know what
danger is," he said, referring to the
perils encountered along the north
Alaskan coast, where the Delhvoml
has been at work tar the past year
repairing the iO-year-old Washing-ton-and-Ala-ka
cable, operated be
tween Seattle and Sitka by the
United Suites Army. "When a man
goes out over the overhanging bow
in a boatswain's chair to cut a steel
cable -with a gale tblowing, a heavy
sea running and ice breaking against
the ship, he can't 'be troubled with a
yellow streak. Our Filipinos do
that and similar stunts every (lay in
Alaskan waters."
The Dellwood's . mechanical equip
ment for its task included five huge
tanks, capable of holding. 1,700 miles
of deep-sea cable wound about hol
low steel cores. On the forward
deck is the cable "picking up" ma
chine, which .brings up the worn
out cable on a "repair job, and on the
ufter deck is the "paying out" ma
chine which bringR the cable ip out
of the tanks in the hold and puys it
out over the stern on to the ocean
floor.

CONSTANTINOPLE, June IS.
Turkish women seem destined soon
to enjoy the same freedom and priv
ileges as women in the United
States- Mustapha Kernel has prom
ised them the vote and they are now
beginning to shake off the fetters
which have kept them to domestic
bondage since time immemoral. A
great women's political congress will
be held here shortly, and u country
wide suffrage movement inaugurat
ed. Women possessing diplomas of
higher or secondary education may
appoint delegates.
One of the leaders of tho new i
movement says the object of the
Turkish women is to obtain the vote
peacefully within two years. Mean
while, the first step in this direction
was won recently when the women
elected a Turkish woman teacher on
the council of primary education.
Women voters appeared at the elec
toral assembly in greater numbers
than the men, and this was inter
preted as showing modern enlight
ened Turkish women's keeness in so
cial mutters.
