...some 466,500 U. S. residents put in new telephones or re-subscribed for telephone service. Although the 13,844,000 telephones reported by American Telephone & Telegraph and its 23 associated companies as in service at the close of 1935 were 1,746,000 below the peak telephone census of 1930, Bell Telephone users made an average of 61,000,000 calls per day in 1935, a little more than 4% increase over 1934. The Bell System took in $934,371,000. Profit was $132,795,000, about $21,627,000 better than the previous year. A. T. & T. paid...

The rest of New England, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania with 24.5% of the census count for 24% of the undergraduates. Thus the other 39 states have only 16% representation at Harvard...
...formulate his decision. Director Darling began with a duck census, taken by conservation agents and helpful sportsmen all over the U. S. one day last February, just before the northward flight (TIME, Feb. n). Census-takers posted themselves on bays, inlets, lakes and rivers in such a way as to try to avoid counting the same ducks twice. Against the rough tally thus obtained, the Biological Survey checked later reports from northern breeding grounds, arriving at the figure of 24,000,000 as the number of ducks that will fly south this autumn...
