Courtesy on the Telephone
The following is very partin-
ent as the use of the telephone
in business is so expensive that
such matters are entitled to
full considerable. 1t is from
Telephony and should be borne
in mind by ali .ran'1cting bust
ness over the wire:
Because Of the Importance
and extensive use of the tele-
phone in the business AID SO
cial world, particular care IN
the tone Of voice used in talk
ing over the wires should be
exercised by everyone. When
using the tel; phone, the tone of
the voice may eitl or secure or
or lose customer. The voice,
be it petulant or pleasant, is
modified or enhanced isy the ex-
pressien Of the face. Custom
ers may overlook an irritable
tone when they can see the
person who is taking, kat it
1.-THE same tone comes over the
telephone, it is very likely to
|cause dissatisfaction and the
| loss of a customer.
1t is in talking over the tele-
phone, either on business or
social affair, that courtesy can
be displayed to advantage and
profit. There is no possible
way in which an employe may
make money and friends for
his employers so easily ard
with so little effort.

The time to advertise is all
the time you want to sell goods.
Whenever you've sold all the
goods you want to sell, then
you're safe in stopping your
advertising. But not until
then.

New Dances Are Seen
At Chevy Chase Lake

with the advance of August's latter
half dancing at Chevy Chase Lake. that
beautiful amusement resort across the
District line, in Maryland, gains in pop
ularity. Scores of young Washington
ians who have returned to the city from
the summer resorts of the North and
some even from abroad vie with their
brethren and sisters who have spent the
summer in town" in grace and poetry
of motion on the big pavilion. Although
no freak dancing Is permitted by the
authorities in charge of the lake. the
different styles In which the Boston"
or plain waltz ts danced at Newport or
some otter wateing place is demon
strated by some returned vacationist
nightly.
Special concerts constitute the Sunday
night bill at the lake" The dancing
floor is, of course, not utilized on Sun
day. the bend devoting the entire even
ing to concert music. This arrangement
makes Sunday evening the most popular
to hundreds OF patrons many OF the
older folk preferring to listen to the
strains of the classics played by the
Marine Band than to the dance music.
New motion pictures are shown in the
rustic theatcr. which also increases in
popularity as the season advances.

DEMOCRATS TAKE
SLAP AT TAFT IN
REDRAWN MEASURE
House Will Repass Budget
Today, Retaining Some
Obnoxious Features.

Before adjournment today the House
expects to pass the legislative. execu-
tive, and judicial appropriation bill, re-
Gently vetoed by the President and re-
drafted and reported to the House late
yesterday.
As forecast In The Times, the re-
Of the Presidential veto--the seven-year
tenure for Government employees in the
classified service in Washington. The
Appropriations Committee. however.
stood firm on the clause abolishing the
Commerce Court, and this remains In
the new bill
the bill can be passed over the veto
Of the President on the Commerce
Court issue, although the previous
vote on the motion to override dem
onstrated 1t would be futile to retain
in the reshaped bill the restrictions
against the classified service. Even
Democratic friends Of the clerks"
to the number Of eighteen. declined to
follow the party leadership on the
motion to override.
In the redrawn legislative bill. the
Appropriations Committee also takes
a dig at what Mr.. Fitzgerald called
"some things dear to the heart OF the
President" The bill Is. ALMOST identi-
cal with the first legislative. execu-
tive. and judicial budget and fails to
provide for a number Of Offices un-
der the State Department. including
the Bureau of Trade Relations and
the Division OF American At
fairs. These Items were inserted in
| the SENATE when the first bill passed
and probably will be reinserted now,
although members Of the House COM
| mittee are rather bell;gerent on the
subject of a compromise between the
two houses, following the veto.

NO CAMP SEASON
FOR GIRLS BECAUSE
OF RAIN AND COLD
Boys Stay at River View
Ends After Seven Weeks
of Open Air Life.

The River View camp for boys will
close Monday, after running for seven
weeks. The proposed two weeks vaca-
ton season for girls has been discarded,
owing 20 the inclement weather en-
countered by the boys during the last
two months.
Thirty girls had listed their names
with the Camp Fire Girls directors to
make up the camp, but 1t was decided,
in view of frequent rains and cold
weather, which the Weather Bureau
has not guaranteed will cease. that the
young girls ought not be exposed.
The boys camp has been a success,
considering the fact that II opened on

filled to capacity only about a third OF
the time. did not quite pay expenses. \
No Increase in Rates. 49,
This, however, will not cause the
management to increase the rate Of "a q
week or 81 for two weeks next year. 1t
may be that the boys will be required
to pay their transportation TO and from
camp, which was provided by the launch
Black Arrow this season. but this is not
definitely determined. The prospectus OF
the 1913 camp will be sent out In Febru-
ary and this, 1t Is believed, will guar
antee full camp next year.
The River View site will not be used
next year. Director Junhin and F. C.,
Wood will start on trip next week to
find available places along the upper
Potomac. 1t Is also suggested that the
1913 camp be held on salt water.
No Serious Accidents.
There were no serious accidents al
camp this season. One boy sut his foot
on piece Of glass and this was the
only accident which caused the least
concern. Boy Scout work, swimming
baseball, racing, boating, and other
sports were included in the seven weeks
program.

WHEN IN TOWN.

When the farmer is out on his broad
acres and in the pure air he is pretty
nigh free from vice, but when he
goes to town he may fall easily if
he doesn't go straight In the country
his company is almost sure to be good
but in town he must be measured by
the company he keeps.
If his associations are with bankers,
leading business men, judges, lawyers,
ministers, county officials or the staff
of his county papers, you can make
sure that his ideals are high and that
he is a success out on the farm. But
if you find him standing on some
corner or in front of grog shop
with a filthy cigar between his teeth
and carrying on carousal with some
ill-kept liquor-soaked bum or curb
shark, you can make sure that at
home he has a family that needs
fatherly love and many other essential
things.

RAILWAYS IN MOROCCO.

The Franco German agreement last
summer concerning Morocco included
pledge on the part of these coun-
tries to construct railway from Tan
gier to Fez. In general there are no
engineering difficulties in the way Of
railway construction in Morocco and
the cost is likely to be small AT
present the only railway in the coun-
sly is a small narrow-gauge military
line now nearing completion along the
Atlantic coast from Casa Blanca to
Rabat All transportation between
the coast and the interior is by cara
van and is suspended in bad weather,
as there are no roads of any sort
away from the ports. Wheeled We
hicles are practically unknown outside
of Tangier and Casa Blanca, and the
principal rivers intersecting the car
avan routes are unfordable for sever
al months of the year.
