NKW YORK. Aug.. 2— “Loud speak
ing" telephones are soon to give New
York subway riders relief from the in
articulate sounds emanating from
guards in announcing subway stations.
The telephone instrument, which is
to he installed on the Brooklyn lines,
will not only be employed to announce
station.- but will be used for such
warnings as “Watch your step!" “Step
lively please!" etc.
The phone is operated by the con
ductor or guard at the center of the
car. who speaks in an ordinary voice
through a transmitter, his words com
ing forth in increased volume at each
end. The phone i> also audible on the
car platforms.
Loud speaking receivers are in
stalled in the ceilings of the cats near
the doors and are hardly visible. The
openings are about eight iriche in
diameter, but screened and painted
the same color as the ceiling.
The phono operator is provided with
a high efficiency transmitter which is
small and can be carried around in
the pocket or held in the hand. It has
a cord similar to that on a regular
telephone system by “plugging in."

of prosperity continues for a few i

*
.east a dozen millionaires.
II. fore the war sugar fetched only
a ton; today it is bringing $(>00
per ton in the Knglish market. The
island's inhabitants are experiencing
great difficulty in getting adequate
supplies and it is only through the
action of the Kood Controller that I
right per cent of the output is
kept foi home consumption. The
prosperity of sugar planters has led
to large sums being invested in the
purchase of the most up-to-date ma
chinery for the manufacture of sugar.
Another central factory costing $1,
dOO.OoO will shortly be erected in the
eastern portion of the island.
This year’s sugar crop has received
a set-hack owing to a drought lasting
about three months. The result is
that there will be a shortage in the
output.
