\VIL:\IETTE LIFE, FRIDAY. OCTOBER 10, 1924 ...:::: U.S. FAR AHEAD Warn Motorists Against Monoxide Gas Poisoning ··Beware of closed gara,l!t:S with the drawing on of cold weath er," warns a l, ull etin i ued by the acc1<lcnt pn: ,·c ntion department of the Chicago ~~ owr club. "~Iany motorists belie'~ .that t he odor of burning gas and otl 1s carbon monoxide. The truth is that carbon monoxide, a product of incomplete combustion , is absolutely tasteless. without color. and almo t odorless_. It obtains its lethal effects from the tact that it roh s th e air of oxyge n, the ,·ita! gas essential to life. . "Herman K. Bundcsen. commissioner of health of Chicago, su~gests that the fir 't thing to . he do!1e 1 .n th.e case of carbon monox1de p ISOlllng IS to call a physician. and in t~e mea.ntime remo\'e the victim to tresh a1r; keep the patient at re st. lying down to aYoid st rain on the heart: pnform IN TELEPHONES America Hu 63 Percent of World's Phones The Cnited States ha . 63 per cent of all the telephones in the world. In proportion to population this country ha s ten tim e as many telephones as the world at large. Th e a\'er~ge American uses the telephone nme times a much as ·the a verage Englishman, and ten time~ as much as the average Frenchman. There are mo~e telephone s in :\ ew York. City th.an 111 the whole oi Great Bnta111 and !\orthern Ireland; more in the city of Chicago than in all of France. In rural telephone development. America stands head and shoulders above the rest of the world. Unc:ballenaed Leader The. c and other striking iacts. ii Justrath·e of thi s country's unchallenged leadership in the telephone field, are brought out in a .re~ent compilation of telephone stat1st1cs of all countries. This study shows that on January 1, 1923, there were 22,904.415 telephoucs in use throughout the world of which 14,347,395 wt re in the t..:nited States. Thus the American people, who form but one-sixteenth of the earth\ population. have at their en·ice nearlv two-thirds of all the telephone. in ·existence. Europe. with four tillle. as many people as this country, has only about two-fifths as many telephones. On th ~ date to which these figures relate, there were 5.863,684 telephones in Europe, or hut little more than one-quarter of the world '~ total. All other countries, in cluding the entire \Vestern Hemisphere outside of the United States, and Asia, Africa and Oceania as well, had only one-ninth of the total telephones in operation. Of the 1,100,161 telephones added to the wire sy terns of the world during 1922, 620.670 represented the net growth of the telephone facilities in the United States. United State· Eaaily F irat In number of telephones per 100 of population, America's leadership was even more pronounced. There were, on January · 1, 1923, 13.1 telephones for every 100 people in the United States. as compared with 3.5 telephones for every 100 people in Germany, 2.3 in Great Britain and Northern Ireland, 1.3 in France and 0.3 in Italy. Although Japan had the best developed telephone system of any Asiatic country, she could hoast but 0.9 telephones per 100 inhabitants, even prior to the earthquake of September. 1923. It is significant that these foreign countries have all entrusted t he development of their telephone systems to government ownership, whereas in the United States the telephone business has been energetically developed by private initiative. Telephone systems operated by private enterprise now include 71 per cent of the world's total telephones; only 29 per cent being under govttnment ow n ership. Canada , with 10.4 telephones per 100 people, a nd Den mark with 8.3 approach nearest to this country in number of telep hones per 100 in habitants. Leada in RUJ'a) Phon·· In absolute numbers New York City, with 1,072,632 telephones on January l, 1923, was easily first among all the citie of the world. In fact. the American metropolis alone had more telep hones than the whole of any foreign country except Germany. New York's telephone development of 18.2 telephones per 100 peop le far exceeded that of Berlin 9.3; Paris, 6.3; or London, 5.1. At the same date, Omaha had 28 telephones fo r every 100 inhabitants; San Francisco. 25.2: Minneapolis, 24.2; Denver, 23, and Washington, 22.8. The only important foreign city with a comparable te lephone development was Stockholm with 25.4 telephones per 100 people. In most fo reign countries te lephone facilities are even more restrict ed in the smaller communities than in the large cit ies. F ar mers' t elephones a re a lmost unknown in Europe. Telephone development has, in many countries, been concentrated principally in t he capital cities and large commercial centers. More than onet hird of aH the British telephones, for example, are in London; over onethird of all the French telephones are in Paris. Americans appreciate their unique telepho nes faci lit ies and use the tele-· phone fa r more t han do other nations. Du ring 1922 there were 174 telephone conversat ions per person in the United States, as against 35 in Germany, 17 in France and 18 in Great Britain and Nort hern Ir~la nd. artificial respiration in thi::. fashion: Patient lies with face down, arms in front .
