II. P. Whitney Is
Back from Britain

NEW YORK, March is.-Harry
Payne Whitney, captain of the pole
team that will defend the interna-
tionaI polo cup for America next
June. arrived yesterday on the George
Washington after spending some
months in England. where he took
part In many hunt meets. This
means the beginning of actual prepa-
ratsons for the matches that will be
held at Meadow Brook when the Eng
iish team will endeavor to recapture
the cup won by Mr.. Whitney's team
four years ago and which was sue
csssfuiiy defended by the quartet led
by him in s1slf.
MIR, Whitney expressed himself as
satisfied with the outlook. although
he realized that the Englishmen un-
der the leadership of the Duke Of
Westminster were making a much
more thorough campaign for the
trophy this year than they did in 1911
when the polo interests in the British
harmony over there now, but il has
recently developed that the pony situ-
alton, which n little while ago was
considered Overwhelmingly in favor
Of the challengers. is not SO bright
for England as at first thought The
Duke OF Westminster has between
forty and fifty ponies at his Eaton
stud. but of these only nineteen are
considered in the class suitable for an
international match
To these viii be added three OF w.
8 Buckmaster's ponies, five belong
ing to +. NJ, Freake. another member
of the challenging team; Captain
Ritson has sent three from India
with the idea OF playing them in
America, and Captain George Belle
Vile proposes to send three of his
ponies. while Lord Woodhouse will
contribute two. Other Englishmen
have come forward with offers of
mounts for the team, and the chances
are that the minimum equipment of
thirty-six. which now is assured, will
be largely increased before the ship
ment OF British ponies is made
J. NJ. Waterbury, Jr.. who was q
member of the winning team In 1911,
was also a passenger with Mr.. Whit
neY THE American captain said
that so far as he knew the four men
who successfully defended the cup
would be in condition TO fight again
to retain II, Whether the team will
remain intact will depend, of course,
on the practice matches which are
scheduled to begin at Lakewood on

Reason Why The
"Line Is Busy
JUST s.472, 200, 900 CALLS ARE SENT
OVER TELEPHONE WIRES
IN YEAR.

NEW YORK. March 1e.-The re-
port just issued by the American
Telephone and Telegraph company for
the year ending December 81, 1912,
shows that the telephone has become
in the United States. to greater
extent than anywhere else in the
world a household necessity. There
are now 10, 0o0 towns, cities and ham,
lets from which telephone messages
may be sent. This is 5000 more than
number of postoffices in the United
States; 10000 more than the num-
Der of railroad stations and nearly
three times the number of regular
telegraph offices.
There are altogether 7456,0T4 tele-
phone stations in the Bell system.
which is aan increase over last year
of S23,449 stations. This compares
with an increase during the previous
year of 749.906 stations.
Including the traffic over the long
distance lines. but not including the
connecting companies, the daily aver
age of toll connections in 1919 was
about 73S, 200, and of exchange con-
nections about 25.572.00o. This COM
pares with GAS. 600 and 2s.4S4,o00 in
1911 Speaking broadly this means
that the daily average of telephone
conversations last year reached 26,-
$40, 900, or at the rate of about S.472.-
600, o00 for the year. as against "a
1879, 900 in 1911 when the rate was
7,7T0,o00, 600 a year.

advice of the best in their line in the
world and accompanied by one of the
best French engineers in person, the
Mitchell Lewis forces returned to
this country equipped to build the
first car that combines the best and

TO refrain from sending the bulky con-
tainers with the attached labels, or
other unnecessary material by way or
demonstrating the value of the LABEL.
In The Calls office is g. record or tho
prices OF all labeled articles advertised.
so that only the marginal mark or
the price Is necessary for tallying pur-
poses.
New labels will appear advertised on
this page from time to time, and the
contestants are especially urged to
keep on the lookout for these. In
case an article can not be obtained at
your dealers, then pressure should be
brought to bear TO induce him to stock
1t. A few demands by his patrons Will
see the article placed on the shelves.
None but legitimate collections OF
labels will be accepted This Is rule
that should be generally understood, as
any unfair methods of acquiring labels
Is an injustice to all other contestants
and contrary to the spirit of The Calls
campaign, which aims at introducing
California made products into the
homes.
In The Calls campaign the plan of
rewarding all good boosters OF Cali
fornia made products has been made
very simple, and g. careful perusal OF
the brief rules appearing elsewhere on
this page will enable any one to enter
the contest.
Every premium listed is within the
reach of any contestant The campaign
is open to men, women and children
An investigation Of the premiums Of
fered will show that the menfolk are
we'll provided for.
The thrifty housewife can save labels
and cash them in for food products, If
she so desires. Every manufactured
product on this page Is obtainable on
a basis of cents on every dollars
worth of labels.
Reports as to difficulties encountered
in gathering The Calls labels will be
welcomed in The Calls office, as every
aid win be given contestants In their
work The manufacturers are also pre-
pared to give contestants any informa-
tion that may be OF help in obtaining
their particular brand of goods.
United action on the part of all mem
bers OF families or among friends Will
be permitted in the label gathering
contest In the competitive honors this
form of clubwork is bound TO be a
great help to contestants. and some en-
trants have already arranged to have
their friends save The Call labels and
aid their fight.
Everybody's help Is needed in this
campaign. 1t is a work that has for
achievement the extension of our man
ufacturing the circulation of more
money in California, and the employ
ment of more people. Let every person
join The Call campaign and share in
the splendid premiums and prizes that
are within easy reach.

Enthusiasm of Housewives
Aroused Over Campaign
for Use Of California
Products

I'm nlling my orders please send as
many OF the articles advertised in The
Calls label page as possible, as I am
saving those labels"
Such were the instructions given TO
her dealers by one woman who has
taken advantage of The Calls offer to
redeem. with valuable premiums, the
labels and cash tags representing goods
advertised on this page. 1t is typical
OF the spirit of enthusiasm with which
contestants are entering this campaign
"a campaign that has for its object the
creation of mighty manufacturing
state by 1915.
Women and children are particularly
enthused over the campaign. With them
The Calls label gathering campaign is
seized upon as a veritable fad-a fad
that is profitable. reasonable and sub
stantisl, and with 1t all intensely in
teresting
Entrants for the competitive prizes
are particularly desirous for informa
ton as to the methods OF reckoning
the standings OF each person. In this
respect there is only one Joker" in the
rules and that is the requirement that
all contestants make deposits OF their
labels with The Call within periods of
three months.
Every person engaged in the regular
campaign of saving labels IS eligible
to enter the competitive contest. Every
deposit of labels made, even though
premiums are repeatedly drawn, are
credited TO the standing OF the con-
testant. He must, however, work con-
tinuously and make his deposits at In
tervals not greater than three months
or he will forfeit any credits that he
may have in the competitive contest,
and he must begin again.
There are no restrictions upon the
frequency OF making deposits except
ing that IT would be better to have
the value of the labels to be deposited
amount TO whole dollars and not frac-
tions of dollars.
Just how to keep the labels for pre-
sentation at The Calls office was an
other problem to many. Needless TO
say, 1t is expected that the labels be
kept as neat as possible. and that care
be taken in detaching them from their
articles. In some cases it may be
necessary to steam the label to loosen
it. They may be placed in a box or
package, but they must have their in
dividual cost price on the margin of
each label.
Even torn and wet label can be
easily dried out and pasted together
and made presentable. AS the amount
of labels turned into The Call will be
very great, all contestants are expected
