Although tha number of messagea from Cuba sUll exceed somewhat tha number of messages from lbs United States to Cuba, the tendency each year has been (or tha meaasgea to Cuba to In crease at lbs faater rata, so that If tha preaent trend continues, tele phone subscribers tn tha United Htktea will soon make mora tele pbon calls to Cuba than they re ceive from Cuba. During 1951 there was an In ereaaa of about 15 per cent la lbs number ot meaaages exchanged be tween this country and Cuba orer tha averagi number aent In 122. Aa might be expected, tha flow of business Is of a somewhat seasonal nature, the average meesagaa per representative day being much greater In February than In July. A large part of the bualnsss Is between New fork City and liar ana and. accordingly, a direct tele phone circuit connects these two cities. Ilualnssa to other points In the Culled Mates Is bandied throuxb New York or la switched to other tang Distance Hoes at Jacksonville or Key West, where ibe two other circuits terminate. About 4 per cent of the meseegeg are with points In Cuba other than Havana. Telephone operators In Havana have to be able to understand both English and Spaqlsh. since lbs re quests for service msy bs In either language. The cablea to Cuba have abown that It Is posalble (or telephone business to be developed between countries where different languages prevail. A noteworthy use of the cables during 1)24 occurred on February I, 1124, when Havana was connect ed with the transcontinental line extending from New York to Ban Francisco, In connection with the dinner ot the Bond Club at Chi cago. Speeches, music, and roll call of tha stations slong tba trans continental line were broadcast from aaven radio stations. Includ ing station PWX at Havana, to a radio audience eallmated at more than 10,000.000 listeners. Messages for Cuba originate In all parts ot the United States, some of ths messages handled dur ing 124 having their origin aa far west aa Portland. Ore, and Seat tle. Wash. The constrac.iou of the Cuban- American cable was one ot ths first large undertakings attempt ed by the Bell System following the cloae of the World War. It was then decided thst ths time had coma to link Cuba in the main land by telephone cables, but the task called for a great deal ot en gineering aklll and Involved msny probloms and foatures which bad never before been attempted. In tha drat place. It meant tba long- I eat stretch ot submarine telephone cable that had aver been put Into service. At one place between Havana and Key Went over the selected route the wster Is a mile deep, and that brought up another difficulty.. In addition to the strong current of the gulf stream flowing around ; tba aonlhern point ot Florida, tha temperature ot tropical waters and , the peculiar tastes ot the to redo, aa InqulaKlve insect thst Inhabits these waters, had also to be taken Into consideration. After exhaustive research work the feasibility ot tha project waa accepted and three separate cables were Uld. each consisting of a single copper core made op of central wire which Is surrounded by live copper tapes. .Over these, small Iron wlrea are wrapped to provide the proper amount of In ductance, generally referred to aa loading." The core Is surrounded by a sheath composed of copper ribbons spiralled about gutta percha and protected by steel ar mor wire. The cablea vary In di ameter from an Inch and a quar ter in the dei sea length to two and one-half Inches at the ehore ends. " - .

KANSAS CITY, Mo., -June 13 The northern heglra ot the army of golden grain baa begun. Harvest la nearly over In southern Kansas, and thousands of bronsed buskles who every yesr follow the siren song of ths binder and thresh er, have wrapped up "their other shirt" stowed away their wagea In their shoes, and "grabbed a freight" for the first leg of the adventure some and laborious journey tbst will end In Canada. Riding ths rods under groaning. lurching freight cars, with their nrlray faces only a few Inches from the glesmlng rails, huddled in the ' blinds" exposed to smoke, cinders and the wrath of the trainmen, torched on the tops of the swaying box cars, helpless prey of the whims of J pluvlus, the army of the (olden grain is moving northward. Nonchalantly dangling their legs from "side door pullmans" the ad vance guard of the veteran harvest- era wave a greeting and a farewell to the strsgglers yet In the fields. 00 Jkeeothatdoori Closed Naturally, the more ice we sell the 1 better we like it.
