TELEPHONE'S FUTURE IN THESE PARTS MAPPED
OUT—BUT OFFICIAL SAYS HE CAN ONLY GUESS.
Plant In This Community Is Growing With Unprecedented Speed,
Records For Construction Work Last Few Years Would
Have Been Called Impossible 10 Years Ago.
Forecasting the telephone future of this community is the task of a prophet, according to G. H. Warren, division manager.
He must visualize the undeveloped sections, study the habits of the people, estimate the resources of the territory, what commercial and industrial opportunities are offered, know how many families it has, how many live in separate residences, how many in apartments, how many | in flats.
He must not only glimpse the fu-| ture but take it by the hand, lead1 it gently into the present and Imprison it in black and white reports, j plotted curves and dot-covered maps. I In general his survey furnishes aj basis for determining the estimated I future development in terms of lines j and stations for any part of the community.
His work is the carrying out of a great engineering plan, which is ordained months, even years, in advance of the time when new lines are built or new central offices cut in. It is the guide-post to the telephone future in which the horoscope of the community is cast on the fu-
ture expansion of the telephone system.
Continuing Mr. Warren said:
"The telephone plant in Baltimore and vicinity is growing with unprecedented speed. Records for construction work have been made, in the last few years which would have been called impossible 10 years ago.
"The population of the community continues to increase with great rapidity and building operations of all classes are going ahead at a record-breaking pace. This growth is creating a demand for telephone service that is greater than ever before and difficult to meet in some sections where growth has been so remarkably rapid.
"It is impossible for the average man to do more than guess the population of this community 20 years' hence. But the commercial engineer i of the company has to go farther and paint a picture of this section 20 years from now. He must visualize the daily life of its citizens, antici- j pate the social and economic condi-; tions under which they are to live, i and finally, plan the telephone equipment for the future.
The Board of Estimates of Baltimore City agreed to contribute $2,000 annually toward a five-year lease on the field at a rental of $2,500 a year. The State will pay $500, purchase the existing buildings for $1,500, remove them and increase the size of the station.
William D. Tipton, of the Flying Club of Baltimore, said in a letter to the Board of Estimates that Brig.-Gen. Milton A. Reckord, Adjutant-General of Maryland, ha dincluded in his budget $10,000 fo rthe erection of new hangars and buildings. - The Bethlehem Steel Company, Mr. Tipton said, had agreed to lease the field an dbuildings to the flying club fo rfive years. The City's share of this rent will be $10,000 for the five years. It was said that the State's share will be $14,000 in addition to the annual expenses of the air unit o fthe Maryland National Guard, amounting to approximately $2,500 a year.
The flying club will sign a lease with, the Dundalk company, it was announced. The State then will sublease the field from the club, the lease covering a certain area Jfor hangars and the use of the field for flying purposes.
An existing lease, fixed at a nominal figure, will expire July 1 next.

BEAR ATTACKS AUTOIST ON FREDERICK ROAD
AND CONFISCATES HIS OVERCOAT.
Roving Bruin, Pet Of Catonsville Resident, "Holds Up" Baltimore
City Man, When Machine Strikes
Him Amidship.
The roving bear of Catonsville, angered by being run down by an automobile on the Frederick road, near Rolling road, turned on Fred Crum-mitt, 614 East Twenty-seventh street, Baltimore City, when he stopped to investigate the obstruction his machine had passed over and tore his overcoat from his back. Mr. Crummitt repelled Bruin with a jack, according to a report made to police by Mr. Crummitt's brother.
The victim of the latest antic of Catonsville's pet aversion was returning from Frederick, running at a

fair rate of speed, when his machine gave a heavy lurch as it passed over some yielding object. From beneath his rear fender, says Mr. Crummitt, came an angry growl.
Taking a jack along with him as a precautionary measure, Mr. Crummitt said he descended to the ground to investigate. Bruin was nowhere to be seen. Mr. Crummitt proceeded down the road for a few paces, he says, scanning the woods on both sides, when the bear, which at first he thought was a large dog, came ambling toward him from the underbrush.
Evidently ascribing his late misfortune to the man he saw before him, the bear's leisurely amble became a furious, if unwieldy, gallop. There were more growls, interspersed with grunts of anger and chagrin, and Mr. Crummit says he beat a hasty retreat. He entered his machine without observing the formality of opening the door, but before he did so bruin seized the tail of his top-coat and pulled that garment from his back.
Bruin then climbed the running board, according to Mr. Crummitt, and breathed defiance in his very face. Mr. Crummitt smacked the bear over the head with his jack, threw his car into gear and proceeded post haste to Baltimore. Both Mr. Crummitt and his machine are exhibiting sundry scratches.
Residents of Catonsville report that on Christmas Eve a negro, with the bear hard on his heels, abandoned a basket of pork intended for his Christmas dinner, to delay the bear in his progress. The ruse succeeded, but the negro went dinnerless as a result.
Dr. and Mrs. Z. R. Morgan entertained at their home, 708 Reservoir street, Baltimore City ,in honor of Mrs. Morgan's parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. Evans Anderson, of White Hall; it being the date of their thirty-second wedding anniversary.
