The llrltlHh Government l:i now con sidering a device owned and man ufactured by the International Telephone; Company of Columbus, Ohio, by- which party-lliwi telo honeM can bo made secret lines.

The American device has been greeted in the Government re search laboratories, under the di rection of David p. Moore, of Washington, D. C. and C. A. Smith, of Columbus Ohio, repre senting tho Columbus concern and It has been the subject of consid erable Investigation on the part of the British telephone engineers, who are understood to bo consid ering it favorably, American methods would un doubtedly be a great boon to the telephono in Kngland. London, with a population of nearly eight million, has only 400.000 tele phones. Khopping by telephone has not yet been developed, and many business firms refuse to transact business over tho tele phone. Tho letter and tho tele gram arc used to a far greater ex tent In Knglnnd than the tele phone, and it is only recently that the telephone has eomu Inlo pop ular use In newspaper work. Tele phonic Inquiries are politely ig nored by many English people who feel that tho telephone Ik not an 'instrument of social dignity.

Kent Prepares Brief Gist of Reports From Oregon Counties, on the Livestock Situation. PORTLAND, Or. (AP) Com ments on tho livestock situation In Kastern Oregon have been as sembled by l' L. Kent, statistician of the Department of Agriculture at Portland. From different re porters in various counties of Ore gon brief reports have been glean ed. The report, covering Union. Umatilla, Baker and Wallowa couutier, follows: BAKKll CO., Keating: Price of cattlo is 'rotten" here can hardly give them away. The main loss (10 per cent) occurs among young cattle on the range; no ap parent reason. Medlcial Springs; My losses were two stolen and one strayed. The calf crop was about 70 per cent of the cows on hand Jan. 1, 1923. Feed Is plentiful: bo mo hay sold early at $8.00 per ton, and later at $tf.00 and $7.00. I would Kay that the financial situation Is improving. I believo if people In general would burn len gasoline and attend to details more close ly, that conditions would improve tauter. WHITNEY: 52 head were bought tor $1,000.00, including 2tf cows, and heifers, 5 two year old stoers, 1 bull, 14 calves and G yearlings. UMATILLA CO: Tho range feo is high, the range is crowded, the prico of beef is too low for the cattlemen to stay in the business for long. Pilot Bock: Feed sup plies, plentiful, prices low,-financial conditions, bad. (2) Wo have had u very good winter. Have led very llltlu up the tho present (Jan. 3), The rango is very much better than in ordinary years. Feed has grown all full. Cattle are at, least 20 per cent bettor condition than in ordinary years. (3) Can not givu you the value per head for there has not been any sold in my neighborhood. UNION CO.: Klgln: Feed too expensivo to feed cuttle at present prices of both. As to financial sit uation these are troublesome times for tho cattleman and wheat growers in this section. La Grande: 1 lost six head, stolen off the range. North Powder: 40 per cent of the cow men have sold out and quit here. All the rest want to but can't. We feed five mouths on the average, and have not been getting $5.00 per ton for hay for four years, fed to stock cattle. - Summcrvltlo: Do not find it profitable to run range cattle on account of low prices and range expenses. WALLOWA CO., BartlcU: The price of hay ranges around $12.00 per ton, and intakes 1 -4 tons to winter a range cow or-two year old steer. There is plenty of hay in this district for this winter. Tho spring calf- crop was fair. With hay at $12.00, and tak ing . Into account taxes, grazing fees, ami range losses, we general ly fall below the price of hay fed when we sell our stock. (2) Kvory dollar I have received from Cat tlo for (lie pust three yearn has cost me at least two hundred cents. Imnalia; Tho loss on cat tle has not been so large this year as last on account of black leg not being nearly so prevalent. On tho other hand, the calf crop is lighter this year than last, be ing an where from 35 to 60 per cent. Owing to the topography of this country, it is very unlikely that a better per cent of calves will be secured until breeding pas tures are fenced, and that Is un likely as tho proposed Increase In grazing fees added to tho already high cost of production, will be niore than the cattleman's finan cial condition will stand. A good many are more apt to itift tin. stockraising game. Feed is plen tiful, and hay Is selling from $S. to $10 per ton. RADIO LECTURES PLANNED DURING FEBRUARY MONTH EI G EN K, Ore.

NKW YOKK, AP) A rapidly Increasing number of young Amer Icuiis is becoming Interested, tn foreign trade as a career, accord ing to tho Kducutlnns Committee of t he Nationul Foreign Trade Council. Jn order to encourage young men In this direction, and to prevent foreign trado being an adventure of ignorance, on the part of employers, tho committee Is arranging a special educational session in connection with tho an nual convention of tho council at Host on next Juno. Tho committee has circularized colleges and universities In tho United States which havo foreign trade and business courses, Invit ing them to send teacher and student delegates to tho conven tion. Also it Is taking steps to call the attention of exporters and Importers, manufacturers and others engaged in foreign trade, to tho need of encouraging, by way of employment, American youth who show Interest in fore ign trade as a career. An official compilation, not long ugo, showed collegiate cours es In foreign service training In 52 colleges and universities with a total number of student enroll ments in all subjects relating to this typo of training at 12,202, with 4.973 students carrying fore ign work as a major branch. A more recent Investigation showed iiiHlltutions with a totnl num ber of l(i,74(l students, In com merce and financo und allied sub jects, and 3.7K7 students carrying foreign work as a major branch.
