Want Ban on Liquor to Natives Lifted

Special CabIegram 10 The Star.
CAPE TOWN, June 15.-The wine grow
ers' congress demands that the prohibition
against the sale of liquor to natives be re-
Taxed to the extent of allowing the natives
to consume light wines. Mr.. Kohler, the
president, lately found that the natives are
allowed wine by the glass in Portuguese
territory. Such step would be practical
BILE, but the witnesses before the native
commission and nearly all of the authori-
ties agree that the prohibition of spirits to
natives is a necessity, and that it would be
difficult to prevent the introduction of forti-
fled wines and spirits if the prohibition were
relaxed. The farmers are urging. on the
other hand, that they are greatly in need
of a market.

GREEN COVER FOR SPRING
MANY CHANGES 'TWIXT ISSUES

The spring directory of the Chesapeake
and Potomac Telephone Company-the
green book-will be issued in short time
and goodly proportion of the population
Of both Washington and Baltimore will ap-
prectate the fact in more ways than one
This does not apply, by any means, merely
to those residents of the two neighboring
cities who have telephones in their homes
for the directory Is used for q hundred
purposes in addition to the mere discovery
Of desired number.
In years gone by the Chesapeake and Po-
tomac Telephone Company, which operates
the only telephone system In the national
capital, and the largest of the two in Bal
timore, combined in one volume the names
Of Its subscribers in the two cities. That
was all we'll enough prior to the enormous
growth and extension of the systems dur
ing recent years. Now each city has a big
book all to itself. Incidentally very few
people, even those who are the most con-
slant of telephone users. realize just what
sort of proposition Is involved In the
compilation and distribution Of the direc-
tory. Just the other day Star reporter
had mighty interesting chat with several
local officials of the Chesapeake and Poto-
mac Company on this very subject.
Three Times a Year.
First off, the issuance of the directory
isn't a one-a-year problem, to be struggled
with for a time and then put out of the
way for twelvemonth. Not bit of it. AS
"a matter Of fact, three books are put out
each year instead of one, and as the num-
Der of subscribers grows and the percentage
of errors-as 1t is technically called-under-
goes natural increase between directories,
1t will be necessary to make the issues even
closer together But at present three year
serve to keep the book very much up to
date all the year round. But even at that
the job Is "a big one and keeps the men in
charge of the work on the jump every day
of the fifty-two weeks.
OF course almost everybody who has ever
picked up a telephone knows that when a
subscriber signs contract that contract
contains his name and all other necessary
matter for the directory. Later, when the
form gets to its proper destination in the
general office of the company, an order Is
written from 1t which is then sent to the
traffic department. where the triyearly
book is made up. Some idea may be gained
of what even this comparatively simple
portion of the work entails when it is
known that there are, an average about
10000 corrections, changes and additions
to be made in the directory between each
issue.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1907-06-16

many amusing suggestions have been put
forth by grouchy residents concerning the
probable motives of that stingy concern
AS matter of fact, the company is always
striving with might and main 10 reduce the
percentage of error, not only irt the book
itself but in the daily call service of the
phone system well, and all employees
OF the company who do the delivery work
are instructed to gather up the old books
SO that subscribers may be prevented from
using them in preference TO the current
issue. When a new one is issued the Old
directory is always somewhat incorrect
Even the color scheme of the covers has
its own particular purpose in the companys
directory system, the blue book being for
winter the green for spring and the brown
for fall This arrangement is made prin-
cipaly TO enable the man delivering direc-
tories to obtain the old book without moro
than a glance ct the cover. he being guided.
in fact, altogether by the color, knowing
that when he delivers a blue book he should
take away a brown one. Then, after the
delivery is over, in order to put another
check on the work, every subscriber on the
list is called UP by an employe of the COM
pany to learn if the book has been delyered.
Uses of the Hello" Book.
AS previously stated the telephone direc-
tory is being put to a hundred different
uses. During the Baltimore fire the Clesa-
peake and Potomac Telephone Company
put out fire edition." which was used
generally out of town for the location of the
business men and phone subscribers whose
quarters had been burned out. All travel
ing men use the directory, particularly the
classified portion, in order to locate the
people of Washington and Baltimore who
deal in their lines. Then for the ordinary
home subscriber, the classified section, with
which the company takes much pains has
proved of the greatest value. Doctors are
separately classified. and as their addresses
are given they can be readily selected by a
phone user from the point of nearness to
the place at which their services are desired.
This also, by the way, applies to coal yards
and such, and 1t is a well-known fact that

PETER PAN DUE

Three-Year-Old
Title.
By ]. S. A. MACDONALD.

NEW YORK, June B.-The most inter

is just at this moment engrossing the
mind Of the average turf enthusiast.
VIII Peter Pan or Salvidere take the
three-year-old championship?
After a long and brilliant series Of
three-year-old special features. dating

aspirant to the coveted title has been

Salvidere, son Of Belvidere-Sally of Ma
varre, accounted in 1906 the king of
two-year-olds."
Might Meet Tomorrow.
The handlers of the respective colts
have craftily lodged a ''show down" for
weeks and weeks, but now meeting
between them seems unavoidable.
However. a $4,000 race. to which both
are eligible, is scheduled for tomorrow
at Sheepshead Bay. The race is at
scale weight. with penalties and al
lowances.

Tidal Stakes. must take up 129 pounds,
while Salvidere carries 113 pounds. Sal

Pan has been Jogging the route.
Will Be Great Duel.
The question arises as to whether Mr..

such palpably unfair weight conditions,
especially so as the stable has Philan-
der, just now at the top OF his powers.
