Nearly Five Million in Everyday
Use by the People of the
United States.

At the present time there are APP
proximatelv 4,600 900 telephones in the
United States. As an example of the
rate at which the use of the telephone
is increasing, one striking instance may
be given. That part of the Bell tele-
phone system operated in Pennsylvania,
we are told, has between January l
and October /, 1909, increased the total
number of its stations by 20,S74. This
makes 337, isl telephone stations in that
territory alone. 1t is only fair to as
sumo that this ratio of increase obtains
in practically all parts OF the country
The numb.- of Bell telept cnes in use,
however. does not adequately measure
the extern of the servi 20. There are
numerous and great independent tele-
phone companies. anG there are still
more numerous local and district cir
cults controlled by cooperative associ-
ations The peach orchards of Georgia
and the orange groves of Florida are
connected by telephone. Telephone cir
cults bring the cotton planters of the
South into close communication. The
western farmhouse is not complete with
out its local and long distance tele-
phones in these days. Whereas few
years ago only those of more than or
binary means had telephone instruments
in their homes, now people of moder-
ate circumstances find them a great con-
venience and often means of economy,
and, would not be without them.
That several of the great railway
systems are installing telephone train
| despatching service gives prestige to
this method of communication. The
rapidly improving character of its long
distance service, also, raises it in the
favor of the business and industrial
world.
BY far the best thing that can be said
| concerning the telephone at this time,
| however, is that people in general are
learning how to use it. They are get
| ting over the notion that because a
| telephone is handy they must use it
constantly to bother other people with
small matters. Much better judgment
is being displayed, also, in the carry
ing on of telephone conversations.
People are learning from their own
| experience that it is not well to hold
| friends, acquaintance or strangers at
| the end of telephone wire longer than
| is really necessary.
And these latter considerations are
undoubtedly contributing greatly to the
popularity of the telephone and to the
increase of subscribers.

CIeOpatra's Rats


No less an authority than Professor
Max Mueller has come to the rescue OF
the girls who defend their inalien-
able right to Gratis ''-inaiienable be-
cause the wearing of rats means, if
not life itself, at least liberty and the
pursuit of happiness. Professor Mueller
comes forward with learned historical
research to prove that Cleopatra wore
rats of immense size, declaring that
history shows that the queen of the Nile
bought many pounds of hair in the
marts of Alexandria, eking out her own
luxuriant tresses with the entire natural
stocks of three women Professor
Mueller further contends that the Egyp.
tian siren was one of the original
peroxide blondes, but she varied the
style by having her own hair bleached
to conform to the color of the DAYS
hirsute marketing. As it was com
mon practice for Egyptian beauties to
peroxide their hair, the prevailing color
is apparent.
For centuries Cleopatra has been held
up as a paragon of pulchritude. and GER
tainly she is a formidable example and
excuse to be invoked by modern de.
votees at the shrine of beauty. What
can a hard-hearted superintendent or
an obdurate floor walker offer in extenu-
alton of his ediet against rats, when
the naughty lady behind the counter
points to the greatest beauty expert of
history giving rats prominent place
on her dressing table?

READY FOR EXTRA SESSION.
Government Printing Office Prepared
for Work

Officials of the government printing Of
fee are congratulating themselves that
machine composition is available in ham
ding the matter to be printed in prepara-
ton for the extra session Of Congress to
be called for revision Of the tariff.
1t is said that about 5000 pages. weigh
ing over thirty tons. are held in reserve
to await final disposition. In addition,
about 1000 pages Of tabular matter have
been set for the use of the committee.
1t is estimated that the tariff matter
handled by the big printery would have
required the use of over $4,000 worth
Of commercial type if hand set. Even
with machine composition the value of
the metal will approximate $4,000; but
this material will be available for con-
release by proper authority. The hold
ing" of type for departmental corrections
and other causes had become a serious
matter, it Ia said, before the Introduction
of machine composition. 1t Is not UNI
usual for the proofs Of a big job to re-
main out for revision from six months to
year and half. particularly where the
government service concerned covers the
entire country.

line has been the contest between the

ing the Gales public school. Capt. Michael
Byrnes of the sixth police precinct has
recommended to the Commissioners that

of travel a street car crosses New Jersey
avenue on the G. street tracks at an aver
age of one a minute. The Capital Trac-
ton Company's street car tracks are now
laid south on New Jersey avenue to
Massachusetts, avenue northwest, on
which it's cars will very soon be run
ming.
For public safety. as. we'll as the
safety of about three hundred school chill

BURGLAR FRIGHTENED AWAY.
Entered c. G. Morgan's Home Dur
ing Height of the Storm.

Taking advantage of the noise made
by the wind. a burglar late last night
entered the home of Charles G. Morgan.
1901 Emerson street, Sauls subdivision
of Washington, but was frightened away
before he secured any plumber. The
wind was blowing big guns and win
dow shutters and other things were max
ing crashing noises In the gale-ideal
conditions for a burglar to go a-burgling.
Suddenly Mr.. Morgan was aroused from
his doze by an unusually sharp crash
down stairs, between 1 and 100 o'clock
this morning. Taking a light he de-
scended to the lower floor expecting to
find his glassware and chinaware broken,
as the crash sounded like such things
the wind Finding everything on the
'lower floor all right, and somewhat
mystified as to the cause of the loud
crash, Mr. Morgan returned to his bed.
A half hour or so later. while almost
doing. a bright beam of light was
flashed in his face through the bed
chamber door from the upper hallway.
hurried search of the premises, and
found that a rear window down stairs
had been ''jimmied" open. A further in
vestigation of the premises showed that
nothing was missing. The crashing
sound was made when the window was
forced by the Jimmy and the catch
broke, PERMITTING the window to go up
with force. Mr.. Morgan believes the
burglar is a professional. as lie made
his exit so quietly. The flash was no
doubt made by a dark lantern of the
kind used by housebreakers.
1t Is known that professional burglars
prefer stormy nights to rob residences
and stores. as the noises made by forcing
an entry are drowned by the crashes of
the storm.

NIeHT WIND BLOWS 4 GALE
SUBURBAN TREES AND CITY
SIGNS THROWN DOWN.
Maximum Velocity Of SO Miles
Reached-Rain or Snow and
Warmer Tomorrow.

A severe windstorm swept over the
District last night and continued in force
until this morning. AS result consd-
cradle damage was done to property.
trees and shrubbery.
The maximum wind velocity, as re-
corded on the thermometers Of the United
States weather bureau, was thirty-six
miles an hour. from the northwest. at
o clock this morning: but Prof. Cox. the
official forecaster. says 1t undoubtedly
reached the velocity Of fifty miles an
hour in the open and the high places
about Washington.
In the suburbs great branches of trees.
and in some instances whole trees. were
snapped off like pipe stems by the gale.
Similar damage, but not to as great ex-
tent. was done in the city. Signboards
and awnings were torn from their fasten-
ings by the force of the wind and hurled
to the street. and many boats in the Po-
tomac, and particularly the Eastern
branch, we're torn from their moorings
and cast adrift.
Prof Cox said the weather will con-
tinue fair today and tonight, and the
temperature may go down to the freeZ-
ing point in the candlelight hours, while
snow or rain Is promised for tomorrow.
Should the precipitation begin with
snow" he added. LIT will soon turn to
rain. as higher temperature Is indicated
for tomorrow"
The windstorm was unlocked for yester-
day forenoon. and it developed unexpect-
eddy. the general engagement of the ele-
ments being brought on. by a catch-as-
catch-can bout between two lows" that
became mixed. producing the boisterous
conditions. Prof. Cox said the wind was
high last night and this morning from
Cape Hatteras northward to the coast OF
Maine and that storm warnings were fly
ing Yesterday afternoon from Baltimore
to Portland, Me.
The main feature of the weather map
today, Prof. Cox added. is a lively storm
that is central over the great plains re-
gion. Rain is falling today in Missouri
Illinois. Iowa and some parts Of Arkansas
and Nebraska. So the outlook for the
District of Columbia is not good.
