TALKING AGAINST TIME
IN USING THE PHONE

Why not condense speeches over
the telephone? Why not so to
speak, use the blue pencil, asks an
exchange. In every business place
worth while the telephone is wanted,
either in that place or by some caller
from outside, many times every hour.
often there is a waiting list piling
up seeking to get the wire. Why
should a person with no very special
important business to transact take
a phone under such circumstances
and tie il up three to five minutes
chatting over minor details and re-
peating himself over and over again;
who keeps on talking, talking, talk
ing against time and with utter dis
regard of the rights Of others some
of whom may have important hurry
messages may even want to tele
phone for the fire department or foi
the doctor?

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21 That

nounced today by President Wilson,
who said he would take a ten days
vacation during the holiday recess Of
congress.
This reception is a historical insti.
tuition, when it has been customary
for the president to receive official

had no vacation since his inaugura-

general throughout the state win
boost the price of eggs from Is to 30

And the dealers hold out the dreary

Taint a Heritage $50 Years.

i One of the most remarkable re-
searches in human biology that has
ever been made-a record of whic'
surpassed by far the researches OF
scientists which have been diligently
made in the subject during the last
half century-has just been made
public by DR.. Henry Herbert God
dard, director of the reasearch lab
oratory Of the Training School for
Predetermined Boys and Girls.
DR.. Goddard had the case of a
feeble-minded girl in his institution
before him recently, and he COM
menced an investigation into the
history Of her case. His search led
him back generation by generation
through long list of degenerate
ancestors.
''For l will visit the iniquity of
the fathers upon the children even
t. the third and fourth genera
tions.' Quoting this passage from
the Scriptures, DR.. Goddard said
to-day:
Dim in the memories Of the past,
in the days that preceded the Revo-
lutionary war, young soldier of
good and sturdy stock had an illicit
love affair with a minded girl.
A son was born, and he grew up a
feeble-minded child and married.
From that feeble-minded child have
come 480 descendants. One hundred
and forty-three of these were or are
feeble-minded, while only AZ have
been found to be normally develop
ed. The conditions of the rest are
unknown or doubtful.
when that same soldier returned
to his home after the Revolution he
settled down and married into a
good, healthy family, equal to his
own. His direct legitimate de-
scendents now number 1876, and all
them were normal people. All the
legitimate children of this soldier
married into the best Of families in
their State, the descendants of COL
onial governors, signers Of the Dec
Iaration of Independence, famous
soldiers, and even the founders Of a
great university. They have scat
tered over the United States, and
are prominent wherever they have
gone.

from the feeble-minded son of this
continental soldier are in institutions

Billions In Life Insurance.

The vast number of persons inter-
ested in life insurance is indicated in
statement that the life insurance
now in force in the United States
and Canada about $2O, 200, 900. The
policies which add up to this im-
mense total vary in face value from
small to very large sums, but the
great majority Of them have been
issued to persons of moderate means
who cannot afford to risk payment
OF premium money to weak and un-
reliable companies. Fortunately
the leading life insurance Organiza.
tions are very prosperous and have
ample reserves, so that their re-
sponsihility is unquestioned, while
they meet all obligations promptly
and without raising mere technical
points. The policyholders. there
fore. justly feel that they have done
the safe thing in securing insurance
from these strong companies, which
pay out yearly to the insured or
their heirs an aggregate of more
than $500, 900, 900. This impressive
fact furnishes strong argument in
favor Of life Insurance. .-Leslie'S

Deaths From Autos.

In two years 967 people have been
killed and over 5000 injured by au.
tomobiles in the single state Of New
York.
The rapidly increasing tendency OF
automobile drivers to put the burden
of escape upon the pedestrians is
leading up to a demand for drastic
legislation on the subject.
Every city and State has some re-
cord of fatalities, and with every
casualty there is a growing protest
against putting all the caution and
preventive care upon those who are
compelled to walk upon the streets
and highways.
Speed limits and ordinances do not
seem to prevent deaths and serious
injuries, and every day adds to the
list of those who fail to escape from
the reckless drivers.-Ledger-Dis
patch, Norfolk.
