Wire Men TALK
ABOUT POLES

Pursuant to the direction Of the
Street and Sewer Directors, represen-
tatives of the companies using tele-
phone, telegraph and trilley poles ap-
peared before the directors this morn
irg and discussed methods by which
the companies could cooperate to the
extent of reducing the number Of wire
poles in this city. Manager Henry 4.
Hall appeared for the d. & A. Com
pany. S. S. Hon appeared for he Will
mington City Railway, J. S. ". Phil
lips spoke for the Western Union
Telegraph Company and others were
present to represent their companies
The representatives of the various
companies in general showed no disin-
clination to cooperate, providing the
directors did not expect them to enter
into trunk line combination. The
only decided opposition made TO the
plan to have the companies use each
others poles was by Manager Hall Of
the d. & a. Company who asserted
that the company did not care to enter
into any proposition whereby opposi-
tion companies could enter onto its
lines, which he said required special
supervision 70 keep them in repair.

the disposition of the ID. & A. to help
the directors in all directions and
pointed to the fact that the number
Of the companys poles We're being rap
idly decreased and the wires placed
under ground.
The element OF danger was the only OBJ
stacle brought rp by Manager Hon Of
the Wilmington City Railway. He as
serted that telephone wires and the high
tension lighting wires brought together
on the same poles would be highly dam
gerous 10 telephone users as we'll as to
linemen. He admitted that there were
combinations of wires in some parts of
the city but declared that telephone
men We're in constant dread OF them.
Director Gray suggested that a trunk
line combination was not proposed. but
he thought that the companies could. use
the poles according 10 sets Of wires IN
cases where poles would net be burdened
and that the applicant company could
leave the pole or obtain the privilege in
some manner
Charles c. kurtz. president OF the
Wilmington Light, Power and Telephone
Company. declared that the Companies.
could not agree on the proposition m
general and suggested that the only
way would be, let them get togather and
agree among Themselves
F. l.. Holtclaw, an electrical engineer
Of the Wilmington Light Power and
Telephone Company favored the Joint use
of poles as of advantage 70 the COM
panies as well as TO the civ.if
The conference was closed with no
definite agreement effected and it is prob
able that the representatives OF the COM
panies win confer among themselves
The directors in the meantime viii hold
up an REQUESTS for the erection Of poles
where it would be possible without dam
ger Tor one company to use another's
poles.

the prosecution of the Hitchcock case.
This brSlght Assistant District At

A STOCK may be the most exqui- A site creation of the embroiderer art. but if 1t breaks one-quarter of an inch its appearance Is ruined Nothing sooner gives sloppy ap- pearanCe" to an otherwise fresh blouse than collar that is not trim. Yet this trimness Is very difficult to achieve. especially for woman with short neck, or one overburdened with flesh that causes instant wilting.
 The linen turnover collars now so much worn with the tailored shirt waist may be starched stiff enough to make a far resistance to torrid days. Even those with embroidered tops should have the underband made very stiff.
 But this method Is quite imprac- ticable for lingerie stocks or trans parent collars to gowns. They must be boned to make them presentable for more than few minutes after being put on.
 How to bone them so as to get the best results is a subject of much dis cussion. Many women insist on a bone directly in the middle of the front one perpendcularly on each side. and another at the back.
 This might answer fairly well. if the best covered bones never broke
