WOMAN'S LIFE IN PORTUGAL
She Docs Most Of the Farm Work and
Shares In Heavy Labor Of
tho Cities.

A good part of the farm work In
Portugal Is performed by the women,
who see no reason why they should
regard digging. hoeing and plowing
as the work Of men alone. The man
who owns few acres Of land will
often leave its cultivation to his wife
and daughters. while, he labors as car
penter. stonemason or cooper, for
cask-making Is one of their important
industries. He also likes to get a Job
as a waiter in one of the numerous
hotels at seaside resorts. for the
country has thousands of continental
and English visitors, Women share
in tho heavy work OF the cities as
we'll. There are female porters. Ia
borers on the docks. market tenders.
and even women coal-heavers. fish.
ermen. or rather fisherwomen. and
sailors. They are as strong and
hardy as their husbands and broth
ers and seem to stand long hours and
hard labor as we'll.
or course 1t rather takes away the
glamour Of romance when one sees a
young woman with finely chiseled fea.

happy under what we would consider
hard conditions. SO the reformer

Efficient Service Requires
Sufficient Facilities

To meet these requirements it is
essential not only that there be at all
times sufficient cable facilities, under
one control, but that they should be
operated INTERCHANGEABLE with each
other and in close physical connee-
ton with land lines as one system.
Ample spare facilities are necessary
to provide against the very frequent
cable Interruptions.
Neither the Western Union nor any
one of the companies of the Western
Union group has, independently of the
others, facilities enough to handle
the business which at times any one
company might be called upon to take
care of, because of some particular
rush of business, or because of some
cable interruption. Nor could any one
company furnish all the direct circuits
necessary for efficient service, al
though the combined facilities of
these companies are ample if they
could be used supplementary to each
other and INTERCHANGEABLE.
AS it is, each company operates its
own cables through separate and dis
tinct Offices and under separate and
distinct management. All interchange
of business is by actual transfer of the
business from one company to tho
other, with the consequent delay and
interruption of a service in which
seconds are valuable.

Limited Business Hours
ond Idle Facilities

AS at present carried on, the trans
Atlantic cable business is practically
all flash service, t. e. instantaneous.
Owing to the difference in time, there
are only a few business hours of the
day common to both sides and during
these hours at least 75% OF the cable
business is done. This is demon
strated by the accompanying chart.
In the interests OF international
business nothing should be done to
interfere in any way with the so-called
flash or instantaneous service, and
the lines should be kept clear to ac-
commodate such messages during the
few business hours common to both
countries; but to continue to confine
the cables to this class Of service, as
at present, will utilize only about IS %
Of the existing capacity of millions of
property and places on that limited
service all the capital, maintenance
and operating charges.

Of the business, if best results are to

Efficiency Increased,
Waste Prevented

TheProposed arrangement between
the Western Union, the Anglo Amer
lean and the Direct U. S. companies
will bring the eight cables of the three
companies under one operating con-
troll. The consequent increase in
effectiveness and economy will place
the Western Union in a position TO
offer certain advantages in cable
service not now enjoyed by the public.
The other way open to enable
the Western Union to make such i'm
provements and introduce such new
services as it proposes to do, would
be to lay new cables. This would
seem to be the height of folly.
Duplication of the existing trans
Atlantic cable facilities at a cost of
many millions, when there are more
than ample facilities for all business,
would put an unnecessary financial
burden upon an already fully burdened
business and would probably postpone
the reduction of rates or introduction
of new services

SEASON ON GRIDIRON TO
Open UP THIS Week
Big Teams Are Preparing For
Battle

New York, Seut. 14.-The football
season will make it's formal bow to the
public this week with Saturday games
scheduled for Carlisle, Lafayette
Virginia and a number of smaller
teams. All the colleges are at work
with their preliminary squads, timber
ing up the big men and renewing the
acquaintance with the rules. Next
week will see practically all the coach
es launching their fall schedules.
Cornell and Dartmouth begin their
seasons series of games a week from
Wednesday. Harvard, Yale, Princeton,
Pennsylvania, Brown, State, Syracuse,
Amherst, Wesleyan Lehigh and host
of others appear before the public On
the following Saturday.
Neither Harvard nor Yale will play
midweek games this year Harvard
starts the seaso with Bates and Yale
with Holy Cross. An interesting OPP
portunity for early season comparison
of the two great rivals will be offered
week later when Harvard will try
conclusions with Holy Cross.
A few features of the football pro-
gram this year will be the Harvard
Princeton game, coming four weeks
from the end of Harvard's season. 1t
will rank as one of the half dozen big
eastern games of the year.
Princeton will open the season with
Stevens; Pennsylvania with Gettysbur
Stevens; Pennsylvania with Gettys-
burg; Cornell with Allegheny; Dart
mouth with Norwich.
There are no departures of moment
In the rules this year and the remov-
al Of necessity for experimenting with
new code should bring out a more
consistent and interesting season than
last year, which on the whole, was a
dull and poorly played season. The
development of the line shift in IT'S
various types, as used last year by
yale and Harvard should prove the
most interesting feature of the devel.
opment Of novel plays.

The Transatlantic Gable
Situation and Competition

The trans Atlantic cable situation
is as follows:
The Mackay group of seven ca
bles, including the German cables,
owned by or worked in physical con-
nectioh with the telegraph lines of
that company form one system.
The French cables comprise an in
dependent system, using both the
Western Union and the Mackay land
lines for their United States connec-
ton.
In competition with these is the
Western t3lion group of cables, eight
in all, owned by three separate COM
panies, two of which are British
companies owning FIVE of the eight
cables.
7IUo only of the British ouOned
cables terminate in the United States
and all of them are entirely depen-
dent on the Western Union for their
connection With any telegraph system,
or for their reaching any centre of
business, and are noW tOorhed excIu-
siUeLy, so far as business is concerned,
with the Western Union.

VACCINATION
Is LATEST IN ATLANTA.

A&anta, Ga, Sept. 144-"Accidenta
vaccination" is the latest diagnosis of
freak cases reported at the Atlanta
hospitals, the victim of the involuntary
treatment being none other than Miss
Josephine Brown, a prominent young
lady of this city.
Miss Brown is at present under
treatment at a local hospital, and her
attending physicians say that her case
is the most remarkable in the annals
Of medical science.
A few days ago the young woman,
having something caught in one of her
teeth picked up what she thought was
bone tOOthpick from a desk in the
family library, and used it to pick her
teeth. A day or two later her mouth
began to get sore, and soon her entire
throat and mouth was in a high state
of Inflammation.
A physician was called in, and the
result of his examination puzzled him
exceedingly. Finally, after close ques-
tioning, the young woman recalled the
incident of the 'toothpick" and told the
physician about it. Medical man had
the "toothpick" hunted up, and found
that it was vaccine point.

SUGGESTIONS MADE FOR
LONG DISTANCE CALLS
Company Gives
Advice to Patrons

Under the improved method of han
ding tools calls an operator in the dis
tant city calls you. If you are ab-
sent this operator leaves word for you
10 call her.
For instance, if you are called from
Atlanta, and are absent, word is left
for you to Call the Atlanta operator. >
If your employees fail to make a mem
orandum of the town, and simply tell
you to call long distance" there VIII
be difficulty and delay in completing
the call because your long distance op-
orator does not know from what point
you are being called.
This Improvement is made as a re-
suit of long experience and is enab
ling us to handle your Long Distance
business with greater speed than ever
before.
The success of this speedy method
depends in a great measure upon the
cooperation of the subscriber. 1t is
essential that you should know the
name of the point from which the call
originates, and give that name to your
Long Distance operator when you
have occasion to inquire about a call
from a distant point.
In placing a Long Distance call you
should call Long Distance" in the
usual way. The Long Distance oper-
ator in your city records the call, but
deals directly with the party in the
distant city, eliminating the former
process under which several operat-
ors handled the call.
If these suggestions are carried out
We are confident that you will be
pleased with our efforts to improve the
speed of your Long Distance service.
