ment with keyboard similar to type
writer, while the receiver is a series of small
1ncandescent lights representing the letters
of the alphabet. You transmit telephone
message to deaf friend by writing your
message on your electrical keyboard, and
he reads it by the flashes of light on the
other end Anything simpler? Yet it took
deaf and dumb man, spurred by necessity,
to conceive and develop the idea
Quite genius is Mr. Shaw, another Edi-
son in his line; for he has invented number
of other wonderful things for the deaf and
dumb people. One of them is a soundless
alarm clock. Instead of that loud, clamorous
gong, which makes the alarm clock the bane
of every sleepy soul in the wee small hours
of the morning, the soundless alarm clock
simply beats tattoo on the pillow, causing
it to vibrate SO persistently under the head
that sleep is impossible. So the deaf and
dumb can no longer give the excuse for ar
irving at their business office late that they
oversight themselves and no alarm clock
could awake them.
Based on the same principle of electrical
vibrations, this deaf and dumb inventor
has patented a soundless doorbell When
the doorbell rings you get series of vibra-
tons in your bed, your favorite chair or
from the mat in front of your shaving glass.
The system is installed SO that you can hear
it or feel it from half dozen different
places in your room or Office.
Now comes another report of the extern
sion of this system of soundless telephony.
An Englishman says he has perfected the
system of seeing by wire SO that the person
you are talking to on the other end stands
out clearly and distinctly in an electrical
photograph. If you are good lip reader,
you can tell by his lips just what he is say
inp as he talks into the tranSmitter That
sounds incredible! Well, SO did the first
accounts of wireless telegraphy and SUBJ
marine cabling. Perhaps in time it won't
make much difference if we are all deaf and
dumb. We can go on just the same, talk
ing and attending to our daily duties with
out using the voice at all. 1t will be the
Noiseless Age then, and if none of us can
hear anything the street sounds that now
annoy us will cease to afflict.

story OF HerO1Sm that got INTO the Reports.
Usually he has been promoted for bravery
to be commanding General or First Sergeant,
or else he has been wounded in the shoulder.
In either case she is so proud of him that she
taxes the patience of the Censorship by an
embrace that would win the Endurance Con-
test in any Sentimental Sweepstakes, and the
Quarrel is forgotten.
What time is not occupied with these Fare
well and Welcome Home exercises is devoted
to War. The duration of strife is thus much
better regulated in Filmville than in less
enlightened communities.
The fighting is also much more humane.
Filmville specializes in unopposed charges
across Open Fields in hand-to-hand conflict.
Long distance bombardment and high-angle
fire are omitted from its tactics.
AGun Grew pumping away projectiles over
a Hill at an Enemy several miles away is not
considered sportsmanlike in Filmville, what
ever it may be in other World Capitals. Dis
tributing explosives literally among the
Enemy may be magnificent, but it is not
Filmville's idea of War.
Its Campaign begins with a long line of
Cavalry dashing across the Scene and grace
fully hurdling the Stone Wall at the left.
This is followed by a Battalion of Infantry
which demonstrates the Skirmish Fire Drill,
after which victory is won by the Hero, who
pops the Enemy off one by one with his Re-
volver while surrounded by Hostile Bayonets.
He is quite alone at this time, unless he has
to hold a wounded Companion on his left arm
during the Engagement.
So far as he is concerned the War could run
through several more Battles; but Mes
senger tells him that the Heroine is already
waiting on the Front Piazza back home,
which brings on the Peace Conference with
out further delay
When there is no War in the Daily Head
lines, Filmville's Soldier has a much harder
time of it; for then, unless they put him in
the Awkward Squad at reduced rates to act
as Second Assistant Comedian, they set him
to doing Guard Duty on wintry night when
the interesting part of the Plot is all inside
the warm and comfortable Officers Quarters
except when there happens to be an In
dian Uprising. This gives him busy day
in the Woods, during which he gains valuable
Target Practice, and adds materially to the
tribes Neurology for the year.

pitched the kind of bah that madet
him sensation last year.
RoIIie Zeider, Alex Zwilling and
Art Wilson are depositors in the
Broadway bank, which closed yester-
day. These three Federal athletes
discovered that they couldn't cash
checks. 1t was a sad blow, but not
half so sorrowful as their failure to
cash any runs against the Baltimore
Orioles, with whom the Buns are bat
thing for first place in the third cir
cult.
These young pitchers on Tinker's
team must learn to field their posi-
tons before they can hope for ultf-
mate success. Otherwise, the opposi-
ton will resort to a bunting game,
and the disasters that overlook Fisk
yesterday viii become frequent oc-
currenceS. 30
Two hunts were laid down by. the
first Oriole batters. Fisk covered the
bag slowly and Beck took the drib-t
bles. On both occasions the runner
was safe because of Fisk's failure tot
work in conjunction with the first
baseman. Beck made wild heaye,
of one of the balls, but the throw
might have been better if he had felt
confidence in the pitcher.
BaItimore's four runs, all they got,
in the game, are directly chargeable5
to this slow fielding work. Mcclure,
has shown the same laxity and so has
Erwin LANCE, Several mornings de-
voted to fielding bunts would not be-
wasted, if the locals expect to ride
in the $4,000 touring cars at the end
of the season.
A pitcher as good as Fisk shouldn't
have his work marred by his own
punk fielding. He allowed only three
hits in seven innings, but dug his
own trap.

interposes his body between the plate
and the biggest and most daring base
runners. Thursday he knelt in front
of the rubber and stopped Chick
Gandil
It was only by a miracle that
Schalk escaped injury on this occa-
sion.
The loss of SchaIk will be felt. Daily
can do a good job of work, but he
is not as good a thrower as the regu-
lar, and does not block baserunners
as well. Neither is he as strong on
attack.
Breton had his first trial of the sea-
son at third base, going to work after
a pinch hitter had famed for Alcock.
The Illinois collegian had nothing to
do in the field, and in his one time at
bat went out on grounder to Gandil.
He soaked the ball hard, however,
and stepped to the plate with conf
dence. He showed an encouraging
burst of speed in getting down the
baseline, and viii get a real trial
within the next few days.
This WeaVer-BIackburne Iead-off.
combination is beginning to hit it's
stride. In recent games the Sox have
frequently scored in the first inning
because of the teamwork of the
young pair. Weaver makes a special
ty of starting the game with a sin
gle. He may only get on hit in a
game, but it is usually on his first
effort.
And BIackburne is the best sacri-
fee hitter on the club. He always
advances the runner. -Blackburne
has improved wonderfully in the last
week. In one of the New York games
he walloped three hits, and since then
has registered at least one hit per
battle. With Blackburne hitting the
Sox infield is stronger looking COM
bination, and if fair batter can be
found for the difficult corner the in
ner wall will balance perfectly.

FRANCE and ITALY
IN MORTAL COMBAT,
CASE IN COURT

II was Greek against GrcGE from
n professional standpoint, but
Erenchman against Italian when it
came to the matter OF blows. And
in this encounter the native from
the sunny land of Europe has de
cided to not take neutral stand,
but to be tn" aggressor in the case.
1t all happened in this way: Sun
day afternoon the two doctors, DR..
Robert d. de Roucn and DR.. V. Clausi
became involved in n dispute over n
patient DR.. de Rouen answered the
call and DR.. Clausi asserted that it
was his call and that de Rouen
should have kent his fingers out of
it. A quarrel ensued In which de
Roucn was called a liar and Clausi
received slap on the siuo of the
cheek. But intead of turning to his
enemy his other cheek, as two good
fellows are supposed to do. DR.. Clausi
turned to the police and had Or. dc
Roucn arrested on the charge of dis
turbancc.
The matter was given an airing
in police court yesterday afternoon
and DR.. de Rcuen was fined 50 and
costs for his attack upon his
fellow in the medical world. But
even this redress did not suit DR..
Clausi and a warrant was Immediate
ly gotten out for DR.. de Rouen charg-
ing him with assault and battery.
Or. dc Rouen was arraigned before
Justice of the Peace Bowers last
night and his preliminary hearing
lucky day for the hearing of a case
of this nature. but both parties in
the deal said that they should
worry
roct1Ts ic Rouen and Clausi are
Ideally situated for wranglc Ct this
kind. 'oth have offices in the Ia
loya block and have frequently had
disacrccmcnts over which should
take the prospective patients as they
ascendcd the stairs leading to their
offices. 1t was suggested yesterday
that they cut deck of cards or flip
a coin to see who was the fortunate
medical advisor in the case. This
would doubtless save Il great deal of
time and effort on the part of the
two doctors.
Or. Clausi is of exceedingly small
stature while his opponent in the
case is a man of ordinary size DR..
Clausi maintains that due to his
rocket edition size that in the short
time that DR.. de Roucn has been
here he has had tendency to "pick
on him."

c. +. Donahue, secretary OF the
Chamber of Commerce, received
communication this morning IRON
Frank A. Davis, secretary of the Ma
tional Old Trails Road association,
and NJ. B. Faidlcy. president of the
Faidley Motion Picture company, to
the effect that the car in which they

Several instances of chicken stealing
have also been reported to the off

derce at ll22 East Main street was

City to Own
Telephone Line
to North Lake

The city of Trinidad will hercaft-
or own aud maintain its own tclc-
phone line between Trinidad and
North lake and by so doing realize
n saving. Last night the city coun-
Gil accepted a proposition made by
=. n. Pattisol, district manager OF
the Mountain States Telephone and
Telegraph company whereby the
city will purchase the wire and nee
cssarv attachments, pay poll rental
and thus operate its own lines. This
step was taken because Supt. w. X.
Lewis has frequently reported that
the party line service had been bad.
Two propositions were submitted
by Mr.. Patlison. The first PROPOSE
ton was that all subscribers on the
North lake line would be taken of.
except the city, thus giving exclusive
use of the four telephones for which
the city was to pay $G.65 a month
with 4 minimum 0e four phones.
The second pr, position watch the
council accepted was as follows:
If the city will buy the wire anc
insulators which are on the telc
phone company's poles between TIL:
town limits of Trinidad and Madrit
and will purchase and install mag
neto telephones at Madrid and Jan
sen then the entire line may be own
ed and maintained by the city. The
rate for each telephone on the line
under these conditions, will be 81
Der month, it being understood. OF
course, that the city owns all OF
the line and takes care of every
thing outside of the town limits. The
city, of course, would have to pay
pole rent fer use of the Mountain
States poles between Madrid and
Trinidad. This will figure about $40
rcr year.
The wire and all necessary appar-
atus will cost the city $3.50, but tho
new arrangement enables the city
not only to have better service, but
the cost of every item will be less
annually than under the present ar
rangement as shown by the report OF
Mr. Lewis.
