letter received from Adjt. Gen. Pearson
of Massachusetts, by 0rmond E. Lo-

which Gen. Pearson takes occasion to
correct the impression which was ere

to the relation of the scouts to military
organizations.
"The officers of the boy scout move

opinion which | expressed" wrote Gen.
Pearson. "and it was in no way in

HOUSE HOLDS UP
ANTITRUST BILLS
Big Appropriation Measures Have Been
Given the Right of
WAY.

Washington ID. G., March l9.-Actual
consideration in the House of the admin.
istration's antitrust bills will not begin
before the middle or latter part of April
and will be held up until the big appre.
priation bills are passed, according to
predictions of Democratic leaders yes
terday. The only bill now on the ealen-
dar is that creating an interstate trade
commission. Others win not be reported
for several weeks.
Passage of the legislative. executive
and judicial appropriation bill, the sun
dry civil, and diplomatic supply meas
ures and the Canadian fisheries treaty
bill, in addition to the Panama free tolls
measure, was the program.
Sharp criticism greeted a feature of
the "holding company" tentative bill,
made public yesterday. 1t was the plan
to exempt holding companies now in
operation, except those that fall under
the ban of the Sherman law, which oppo.
nents said practically made present hold
ing companies immune from reorganiza-
ton.
Chairman Adamson of the House i'm
terstate commerce committee stated that
action on the bill for federal supervision

SALTS IF KIDNEYS
OR BLADDER BOTHER
Harmless to Flush Kidneys and Neutral
ize Irritating Acids-Splendid
for System.

Kidney and bladder weakness result
from uric acid says noted authority.
The kidneys filter this acid from the
blood and pass it on to the bladder,
where it often remains to irritate and
infame, causing burning, scalding sem
sation, or setting up an irritation at
the neck of the bladder, obliging you to
seek relief two or three times during
the night The sufferer is in constant
dread. the water passes sometimes with
scalding sensation and is very profuse;
again, there is difficulty in yoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call it,
because they can't control urination.
While it is extremely annoying and
sometimes very painful, this is really
one of the most simple ailments to over
come. Get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from your pharmacist and take a
tablespoonful in glass of water before
breakfast, continue this for two or three
days. This will neutralize the acids in
the urine so it no longer is a source of
irritation to the bladder and urinary
organs, which then act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless, and
is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia, and is
used by thousands of folks who are sub
ject to urinary disorders caused by uric
acid irritation. Jad Salts is splendid for
kidneys and causes no bad effects what
ever.
Here you have a pleasant, effervescent
lithia- water drink, which quickly re-
lieves bladder trouble--Advt.

FIRST TRUST
BILL READY
The House Has Measure for
a Trade Com
mission
WOULD GIVE
AMPLE POWER
Covington, in Report, Re-
plies to Some
Criticism

Washington, March l9.-The bill ere
ating the interstate trade commission
gives to the commission ample powers
of independent initiative, according to
Representative Coyington OF Maryland,
chairman of the subcommittee that
framed the measure, yesterday. Some
senators have criticised the bill on the
ground that it does not sufficiently pre-
serve the right Of the proposed new
body to initiate Investigations.
Mr.. Coyington states that an analysis
of the bill would show the contrary.
He said: "The Independent initiative
of the commission is preserved in every
part of the bill, except the single sec
tion in which the commission is made
the investigating agent of the president,
the attorney general or either house Of
Congress, to report to them the facts
found as to alleged violations of the
antitrust laws There is nowhere in
tine bill any restriction on the independ
ent powers which may be constitutional,
~ exercised by the commission to make
Investigations OF any sort, and to make
public the facts disclosed in its discre-
ton. In fact, this discretion is simply
to safeguard the public by Withholding
which discloses such viola
tions as will warrant prosecutions
through the department of justice and
when the publicity might gravely preju
dice the governments case"
Mr. Covington also made it clear that
the section of the bill providing for pun
ishment of persons unlawfuily making
public information OF the commission is
not intended in any manner to curb the
power of the newspapers to disclose in
any way they please information com.
ing into their possession. That sec
ton" he said, "is simply to punish Off
,ials or employees of the commission who
may without authority betray informa-
ton which happens to be proper trade
secret or the disclosure OF which would |
impede the government in trust prose
,ution."

In our use of methods or apparatus, we are COM
mitted to no one system. We own, control or
have the right to use inventions necessary to
operate any system recognized or accepted as
the most efficient. The Bell System must always
recognize, and in its selection must always be
governed by the necessities of national service,
with its complex requirements, which is infinitely
more exacting than local or limited service.
These achievements represent vast expenditures
of money and immense concentration of effort
which have been justified by results of immeas-
urable benefit to the public. No local company
unaided could bear the financial or scientific
burden Of this work Such results are possible
only through centralized general staff, avoiding
wastefu duplication of effort, working out prob
lens common to all, for the benefit Of all.
The pioneers Of the Bell System recognized
that telephone service they saw it, was in the
broadcast sense a public utility; that upon them
rested public obligation to give the best pos
sble service at the most reasonable rates con-
sistent with risk, investment and the continued
improvement and maintenance of its property
Without this expenditure of millions and con-
centration of effort the telephone art it exists
could not have been developed.
What we have done in working out these great
problems in the past should be accepted as
guarantee of what we will do in the future

TELEPHONE ACHIEVEMENTS


that conversation could be had over long-distance
circuits of which as must miles was In
underground cables. By 1905 underground talking
distance had increased to 90 miles. By 1912 It
was possible to talk underground from New York
to Washington.
1t was then that the construction of under
ground conduits from Boston to Washington
determined upon,--not that it expected to get
a through underground talk between those places,
but in of storm or blizzard, to utilize inter
mediate sections in connection with the over
head.
Our persistent study and incessant experiment
tation have produced results more remarkable
still.
We have perfected cables apparatus and meth
DDS that have overcome obstacles heretofore re-
garded insuperable both to long distance over
head and underground conversation.
Underground conversation is now possible be-
tween Boston and Washington, four times the
length of the longest European underground line.
This enabled the Bell System in the recent great
storm, so destructive on land and sea, to main
tain communication for the public between all the
principal points on the Atlantic seaboard.
Telephone communication is established between
New York and Denver, is potentially possible be-
tween all points in the United States, and by 1915
will be an accomplished fact between New York

Long distance and underground transmission
was the most formidable scientific problem con-
fronting the telephone experts
The retarding effect of the earth on the tele-
phone current often impaired conversation
through mile underground as much as through
miles overhead. Overhead conversation had
its distinct limitations.
No possible improvement in the telephone
transmitter could Of itself solve these difficult
ties
The solution was only found in the cumulative
effect of improvements, great and small in tele-
phone, transmtter, line cable, switchboard, and
every other piece of apparatus or plant required
in the transmission of speech
While the limit of commercial overhead talking
had increased from strictly local to over 1000
miles as early as 1898, it was not until 1905

MAKING GIRLS MORE EFFICIENT
Novel Plan is Being Tried Out at Holly,
Colorado.

The Woman's Civic club of Holly,
Colo, desiring to help the girls of that
community to become more efficient in
the common duties of housekeeping, CO.
operates with the school in the teaching
of household art. The plan is as fol-
lows: The girls of the high schol are
divided into four classes, as indicated
by the year of the work they are TAX
ing in the high school. As many divi-
sions are made of each class as are
necessary to secure the best results.
These divisions meet once or twice a
week at the various homes of the city,
and the girls cook, sew, and do other
household work, such as, washing,
sweeping, and busting, under the direct
supervision of the teacher and the mis-
tress of the house. A definite outline
of the work to be done in the home is
given to the class and also to the, lady
of the house, SO that she may have the
material and utensils necessary ready
for the use of the girls, who do all the
work and leave the house in the same
condition as they found it, washing
and drying all dishes and putting them
into their proper places.
In the latter part of the course six
or seven of the girls prepare and serve
light luncheon to six or seven other
girls, the outlay of money being linn
tied. The preparation and serving of
the luncheon, also the conversation and
manners of the guests, are carefully
criticised by both teacher and pupils
Occasionally the various divisions Wis
it the grocery store to learn how to
order groceries, the meat market to
learn to distinguish the different cuts
of meat, the furniture store to plan
for the furnishing of home. the hard
ware store TO plan for the purchase of
kitchen utensils. During the summer
months the work is carried along by
the mothers in the homes, who follow
the outline the teacher leaves with the
leader of the civic club.
The advantages claimed for the plan
are:
/. There is no need of expensive
school apparatus.
2. The girls learn to cook and do
homework in the home and with the
and equipment found there and
not in a domestic science kitchen with
utensils much better than those found
in the average home of the community. |
The fact that they visit several homes |
during the course of instruction gives |
the advantage of utilizing variety
Of material under varying conditions |
3. In every community there are
who are efficient in some one |
or other OF, the domestic arts, such as |
the making OF cake, the baking of bread, |
the serving of luncheon and dinners.
Under this cooperative plan the school |
girls have the advantage of the various
recipes and methods; also Of the varied
instruction the advocates of these reci-
pes are able TO give. Under the ordi-
nary plan the domestic science teacher
would be compelled TO give all this va
ried knowledge in the classroom under
artificial conditions.
4. 1t is practical method of bring
ing the school nearer the people and of
keeping the mothers close TO the girls =
n their school work.

In no fine of human endeavor has the inven-
tive brain of the scientist contributed more to
the worlds progress than by the creation of the
art of telephony, of which the Bell System is the
embodiment
When the telephone was born, nothing analo-
gous to telephone service as we now know 1T
existed. There tradition to guide,
experience to follow.
The system, the apparatus, the methods-an
entire new art had to be created The art of
electrical engineering did not exist The Bell
pioneers, recognizing that success depended upon
the highest engineering and technical skill, at
once organized an experimental and research de-
partment which is directed by staff of over
$50 engineers and scientists, including former pro-
fessors, postgraduate students, scientific investi
gators-the graduates of over 10 unverites
From its foundation the company has contin-
uously developed the art. New improvements in
telephones, switchboards lines, cables, have fol-
lowed one another with remarkable rapidly.
While each successive type Of apparatus to the
superficial observer suggested similarity, each step
in the evolution marked decided improvement.
These changes this evolution, has not only been
continuous, but is continuing. Substantially all
of the plant now in use, including telephones,
switchboards, cables and wires, has been con-
structed, renewed or reconstructed in the past
years
Particularly in switchboards have the changes
been so radical that installations costing in the
aggregate millions have frequently been discarded
after only few years of use.
Since 1877 there have beeen introduced ga types
and styles Of receivers and 70 types and styles
of transmitters. Of the 100000 telephone re-
ceivers and transmitters owned by the Bell Com!
pany January /, 1914 none were in use prior
to 1902, while the average age is less than five
years.
Within 10 years have expended for construc-
tion and reconstruction an amount more than
equal to the present book value of our entire
plant.
