FAMILY TELEPHONE
ORGANIZATION

Modem conditions have
brought about the need for
what might be called long
distance telephone organiza-
ton Of the family. when
in doubt. telephone" is an
axiom that ought to be i'm
pressed upon every member
of the family going on a
journey, or to live at a dis
lance. The mother can reach
her children at school, and
children should be required
to telephone home occas-
ionally. When husband or
wife set out on a journey a
telephone itinerary should be
jotted down and left behind.
Members of the family
travelling should not be con-
tent with providing means by
which those left at home
may reach them quickly, but
should communicate with
the home frequently, and
particularly when there is
bad weather. transportation
delay. disturbance of public
order. or any other unusual
condition where the traveller
happens to be. Bad news
flies fast, and is magni6ed by
distance. These things cause
apprehension at home.
No other medium conveys
the personal assurance and
causes such peace Of mind
asthe long distance telephone
talk can give.

orIain OF a Name.

The Tenderloin district in New York
derived its name In this way. Within
its limits are many gambling houses
and other diareputable resorts. About
80 years ago. when Capt Alexander
Williams OF the police department was
transferred from down town precinct
to the precinct bounded by Fourth ave
nue.. Sixth avenue, Twenty.third and
Twenty-fourth streets, he anticipated
some choice pickings, and remarked: !:
For a long time have been accus-
toned to round steak. but hereafter |
shall have plenty Of tenderloin.' The
name seemed to hit the popular fancy,
and from that period the district came
to be known as the Tenderloin.

Africa Means Much to the Com
merce of That Section.

A railroad is now building along the
northeastern coast OF Africa that will
insure the agricultural and CONNER
cial development OF fertile but long
neglected region, and at the same
time greatly reduce the length OF the
Journey from Europe TO Egypt Start
ing at Alexandria, the new railroad
crosses Lake Mareotis, and follows
the coast line Of northern Egypt to
the weRt, at distance of few miles
from the Mediterranean sea The
track has been completed for about
145 miles The terminus Of the line
will be the port of Mersa-Matruh,
about 200 miles from Alexandria. 1t
is predicted that the railroad Will
eventually be continued to Benghazi,
in Tripoli The journey from London
TO Alexandria can then be made in
three days by the following route;
London TO Messina, 40 hours: Messina
to Benghazi. by steamer. 20 hours !;
Benghazi to Alexandria, by the Mariut
