DURABILITY

Other things being equal, durability
follows as the result Of simplicity.
There is not a small. frail bearing in
the machine. There are no fine joints
to be affected by wear. The best ma
terials obtainable, combined with good
construction, are added to the simplici-
ty of this machine, thus making its
durability a foregone conclusion.

Telephone Rates.
Of The Evening Star:

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
The Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Company is working a new wrinkle just
now. Listen: A little over year ago 1
signed contract permitting me, upon the
payment of $50 year, to become one Of
four parties on wire. / was to have 700
outgoing calls. The service has been sat
isfactory and to my knowledge no COM
plant has been made by any Of the other
three subscribers on my wire. AS l was
about to sign a new contract for the COM
ing year the company's representative In
forms me that after contracts now in force
expire there Will be no four-party wires,
but two-party wires instead. For this "ex-
ira" CD service l am to pay $45 per year
and have 100 calls less than heretofore.
The agent Of the company tried to con-
vince me that 1 was saving money by the
DEAL but at this writing am still figuring
out where 1t comes In. Nothing can be
done but submit. l suppose. but the ques-
ton arises: What will be the cost of my
service a year from now when I sign
new contract? Will have to pay $54 for
the year and receive 100 less calls? And
how long will 1t be before I am entitled
to no calls at all?

AN ADVERSE REPORT
CHIEF DUTTON UNABLE TO AP-
PROVE PENDING MEASURE.
Reduction in the Hours of Service Of
Firemen Regarded as I'm
practicable.

Mr.. Robert w. Dutton, chief engineer Of
the District fire department. has submitted
report to the District Commissioners on
Senate bill 1862, which is designed ito limit
the hours of service Of the members of the
fire department Of the District of Colum-
bla," In which he says:
'"The bill proposes to limit the service of
members Of this department to twelve con-
secutive hours In each calendar day, except
in cases Of traordinary emergency or
public peril, the members Of the depart
ment to receive the same pay or salary for
the proposed twelve-hour service as Is now
paid them for twenty-four hours service.
It is true. as is contended by the friends
Of the bill, that the members Of the fire.
fighting force Of the District fire depart
ment are on duty twenty-four hours every
day, and that they have but one day off
in every six It is also true that not in
frequently sickness of other members COM
pels men to remain constantly on duty for
weeks at a time without a day off.
In Sympathy With Movement.
But while it cannot be denied that these
men are the most closely confined Of Dis
trict employees, I cannot at this time, not
withstanding the fact that I am in full
sympathy with the spirit Of the measure.
consistently recommend your approval of 1t.
The District fire department Is not by any
means as strong in either Its membership
or its equipment as 1t should be, and, as
has been contended by the department for
years, its members are about the poorest
paid body Of fire-hghters in this country.
The department, as 1t stands today, badly
needs enlargement by the addition Of sew
eral companies and more men to companies,
and it no less badly needs equipment
throughout with the very best of modern
apparatus and appliances.
Would Require Large Increase.
''To carry into effect the provisions Of the
proposed law would necessitate an increase
in the membership of the flre-f1ghting force
of the department Of not less than 80 per
cent. To do that an increase in the ap-
propriation for salaries Of at least $125,00O
would be necessary. and at this time I am
convinced that such an amount should be
applied to the enlargement and better
equipment Of the department and to an In
crease Of the salaries now paid It's mem
bers. Certainly those dependent upon the
men for support would be much more bene-
flied by increased salaries than by a re-
duction Of hours OF service.
Therefore, while I am. as have stated.
in full sympathy with the spirit OF this bill,
and sincerely trust that. at some not very
distant day, when the department shall
have been made what 1t should be for the
proper protection Of life and property and
the men shall have been given adequate
compensation, 1t will become law / can
not now for the reasons given. recommend
your approval OF It.

Tennille, Ca, Feb. 27.-The annual
meeting of the stockholders of the
Tennille Cotton Mill will be held on
March 10. At this meeting, steps will
be taken to put the mill in operation
AS matters stand now, the mill is ready
to run, but there are no funds with
which to buy cotton to use or to pay
operatives. Under a trust deed given
to the bondholders of the mill, the
owners of the mill cannot use the cot
ton or cotton yarn to obtain loans, as
is done in many cases. There are two
WAYS by which the mill can be put in
operation, one of which is for the
stockholders to raise a small amount
of money, or to turn the mill over to
the trustee for the bondholders, Mr..
b. E. Willingham. At this meeting
Of the stockholders. if a sufficient
amount cannot be raised to put the mill
in operation, it will probably be turned
over to Mr.. Willingham, who will at
once commence operating same.

FOUGHT OVER THE FUND.
Jeffords Family End Their Differ
ences by Consent Decree.

Jeffords Family End Their Differ
ences by Consent Decree.
The case of Floyd Martin Jeffords, by
his mother and next friend. Edna C.
Jeffords, against Thomas C. Jeffords
was disposed of by a consent decree
signed by Judge Speer in the United
States Circuit Court yesterday. The
= decree ends a squabble over the pro-
ceeds Of a judgment against the Fidel-
ity Mutual Life Insurance Company
that was rendered in favor of the par
ties to the litigation just wound up.
The case against the insurance COM
pany was upon a policy of insurance
for $4,000 upon the life of Martin JEFF
lords, the father of the plaintiff and
the brother of the defendant in the
later piece of litigation. BY the ex-
pressed terms OF this policy $40 900 was
to be paid to the brother and SO, 900 to
the widow of Martin Jeffords and
when a judgment had been rendered
anu upheld by the Circuit Court of APP
peals the money was so paid.
The principal and interest of Thomas
c. Jeffords share of the judgment
amCcnted to $13,256.93, but of this
amount $3,447.3S was paid to his attor-
neys. Messrs. duBignon & Stephens,
and to defray the expenses of the liti-
cation, leaving the amount actually
paid over to him s9,808.93.
No sooner had the money been paid
than a quarrel arose between the par
ties as to its proper disposition.
Thomas c. Jeffords commended that
the money was his own, while the wild
ow of his brother claimed with equal
strength of expression that the pro-
ceeds OF 'he insurance policy created a
trust fund in favor of her son and
that they should be paid over to him.
Suit was brought in the Circuit
Court to establish uhis claim of her
sons and an answer was filed ON be-
half of the defendant. An agreement
between the parties. however, has
been reached and this was expressed in
the decree that Judge Speer signed
yesterday morning.
By its terms IL is agreed that the
proceeds of the insurance policy do
belong to the minor son of Martin
Jeffords and must be paid over TO him
Thomas Q. Jeffords is allowed So 900

Quoting the litigation and as compen-
sation for the time he himself spent
