Hair is Kept From Splitting

Smuggling or clipping the ends Of the

This IS such a moot question that Il Is

Captain Maud

Captain Maud" the only woman ever
licensed by the federal authorities TO act
as pilot in New York harbor and the
adjacent rivers. is today voyaging over
strange seas. Forsaking the tugboat the
Major Uhlrioh, which. as Miss Amelia X.
Jensen. she navigated for her father dur
ing the latters illness of two years, she
has embarked upon matrimonial seas. Her
mate" on the passage is Mr.. Gustave
Gubitz. On the trip they are now max
ing TO Bermuda, he is pilot as well as
mate, for she says her license as a navi-
gator does not extend to the high seas.
The marriage Of Captain Maud" and
Mr.. Gubitz took place at her home, No. 466
Fifty-hfth street. Bay Ridge. The cere-
mony was performed by the Rev. H. c. A.
Myers, OF st. Jacobs German Lutheran
church. From the name that she signed
to the marriage license. none except her
intimate friends and the privileged few
who stood in the pilot house Of the Major
Uhlrich when her Pilots certificate was
framed there, would have recognized the
bride, for when she was a tug skipper she
was always known only as Captain
Maud"
Her debut as a pilot came because OF
stern necessity. Five years ago her father,
known among seafaring men, was stricken

should continue to be operated So the
daughter stepped into the breach. Her
fathers only daughter. she had been his
constant companion on board the craft, as
we'll as during the brief intervals when
he was at home.
Winning his reluctant consent, Miss Jen-
sen quickly added to her practical knowl-
EIDE to enable her to pass with flying colors
the regular examination for a harbor pilot.
She was the first woman to be so equipped.
During the next two years Captain
Maud as she was known TO her crew and
those with whom she did q towboat busi-
ness, commanded the Major Uhlrioh. Men
who know the difficulties Of handling a

 The new exchange is equipped with labor saving devices throughout and is so constructed that an operator can not listen in' on the conversations going over the wire, which is contrary to the general belief.
 The switchboards form only a small part of the new equipment.

 The work of installing the neS sys- tenn is progressing rapidly and 1t should be ready for use early in FebIu- ary When the new installation is com plete, less than half an hours work will cut every phone in the city off the old exchange and connect it With the new.
 As soon as the new apparatus is in working order, the phones now in use will be replaced by new instruments and the entire system will be complete. Tn the opinion of Manager Edwards, it will be as free from trouble as any system in the country.

There will be no more turning of cranks and no tedious delays in secur- ing central" when the new system of the Consolidated Telephone company. which is now being installed, is ready for use.

 When the new system is in opera tion, all that will be necessary to call central will be for the subscriber to remove the receiver from it's hook. This automatically lights a small lamp at the central switchboard. The lamp is numbered and immediately beneath 1t is a switch connection.
 Seeing the light, the operator inserts a plug, attached 10 a wire cord. in the subscribers $ switch. A button is pressed and central is ready 10 ask the desired number. This entire operation requires less than five seconds

 When both parties are talking the lights over each switch do not show. When either or both parties Chang up '' the lights flash again and central IS thus notified that the parties are through talking. If one of the parties desires another connection and does not hang up his receiver, central is also not fled and asks for the second number. as soon as the other party hangs up.
