N. E. Co. in 1921 This state is one of the greatest litlle conversational centers in these great and glorious United States. That statement is made to contradict the British critic of American manners and customs who recently said that Connecticut folks are reserved, taci- turn, dull conversationalists. He was all wrong, and the annual report of the Southern New England Telephone company, just received, proves it. Tor instance, there were 274,829,- 000 telephone conversations, includ- ing toll calls, in Connecticut during 1921 which, as a flippant person might say, is some talk via the tele- phone. Certainly these figures fail to support the thought that Connecticut is a reserved, vocally sippressed commonwealth. The telephones in this state were used, on the average, 753,000 times daily in 1921. No indication there of vocal trouble in our merry midst. Reducing our conversational pow- ers to mere simple figures let us say that there were 31,375 telephone conversations every hour, or 523 con- versations every minute in every hour of every day in the year 1921. On the basis of these figures Nutmeg folks talk night and day at the same rate, but are known to be cautious in what they say in their sleep. An Accurate Count The number of telephone conversa- tions mentioned it based on actual and accurate traffic counts made by the telephone company. The company has also figured the average length of time of a telephone conversation. It is 78 seconds, on a local call, with which the following statements will deal. By test it has been shown that two normal male persons will use 135 words in 78 seconds. The number of words a woman might wuse in the same time is left out of the reckon- ing. There were, to repeat, 274,829,000 telephone conversations in Connecti- |+ cut last year and with 135 words spoken in the average of 78 second conversation, there were no less than 87,101,780,000 words sent speeding on their coppery telephonic way in our { Don't | Discard that Faded Sweater— Dyelt It's not worn out, only faded.

Instead of being subjects for the psycopathic word they are sharp-wit- ted, versatile resourceful young wom- en, working hard every day and giv- ing service of inestimable value to the community at large, and giving it cheerfully and politely, despite the fact fhat they are the defenseless marks for the fiery tempers of some illnatured men and women. STARF IS CHAMPION Man Wins Piano, Messrs. and Sc (a) Valse (c) Mr. south) (b) Polon Chicago Skating Title International at Lake Placid— Lamy Second and McLean Third. 20 Lake Placid, N. Y. Feb. 22.—Ar- thur Staff of Chicago won the inter- national professional skating cham- pionship here yesterday, his score in the events which made up the cham- pionship contest totaling 225 points. Edmund Lamy of Saranac lLake was second, with 155, and Bobby McLean of Chicago Was third, with 129, ILiv- ‘erett McGowan of St. Paul and Morris Wood of New York each had 20 points. In the first race of the day, the 440- vard dash, the skaters were in a jam at the stretch when Staff broke through to take the pole. Mclean fell, and in the mix-up Lamy received a severe leg wound. McLean slid across the line sccond, while Lamy took third place. Staff took the ledd at the bell in the half-mile race, being followed closely by McLean. At the last turn, however, l.amy passed McLean and finished second to Staff. This race was won in the fast time of 1:18 1-5. The three-mile race was a slow one until the tenth lap, when McLean sprinted, quickening the pace. At the bell McLean took the lead, followed by Staff, but in the stretch Lamy passed Staff, who finished third. Aside from the professional races, the feature of the afternoon was what was claimed to be the breaking of two world records for backward skating, by Valentine Biali of Lake Placid. He skated 440-yards in 0:43 3-5, and in the half-mile clipped 0:5 3-5 from the previous E“ark of 1:35 1.5, McMURTRY TRANSFERRED Hartford, 17eb, 22.—The state police commission at a meeting yesterday afternoon acceded to a request of Motor' Vehicle Commissioner Robbins B. Stoeckel that Captain Alden I. McMurtry be transferred from the state police department to the motm’ vehicle department. Buperintendent | Robert T.
