explanation
Anyone who has not visited a central
telephone office during a fire has no idea
OF the enormous increase i'll traffic created
without moments notice.
Imagine, if you can, handling your
work under normal conditions and, with
out warning, having the volume doubled

This Is exactly what happens at the
central office after the first blast of the
fire alarm
Suppose under these circumstances a
real emergency occurs such as the need of
a physician, police or additional fire appa-
ratus
1t must be clear that it might be pos
slble that no response to the real elner-
gency would be received for very long
time and the result might be serious

for the Standard Oil Co for Wilmington,

one of the bullets went through the shoul-
der of the heavy coat Mr.. Fowler was
wearing, but did not wound him.
The first that officers knew of the at
tempted robbery was when Mrs Fowler
told of it to a neighbor. Mr.. Fowler said
that he could not describe the men, as it
was so dark that he could not see their
features. Deputy Sheriff w. Z. Howe Of
Wilmington believes it was the work Of
men who knew the time and route taken
by Mr.. Fowler. and that they are residents
of the neighborhood of Jacksonville.
