BRITISH TELEPHONE SYSTEM

Little Rock-A copy of the Shef- field England, Daily Telegraph re- gently received here contains an arti- cle that would indicate that there is more complaint in that country over governmentOWned telephones than ever was known by a private tele- phone company in this country The article went on to say:
 The postmaster general is said to have complained some time ago that he could not dine out, either in public or in private, without hearing about those 'confounded telephones The grumbles have not yet ended; there was a sort of eliminating outburst of them in the house of commons recent ly, when all the hard things that could be said even about the telephone serv- ice were said with the utmost em- phasis.
 The service was said to be ineffi- cient and expensive; it's management was declared to be outrageously at

.EMPLOYES' BENEFIT FUND
PHONE COMPANY PROTECTS ITS
 WORKERS. No Charge to Employees for lnsur- ance Against Accident, Sick
 ness and Death.

NewpOrt.-J A. McMichael, linaman of the Southwestern Telegraph and Telephone company. who met with serious accident last March while on his way to repair telephone line in this city, is receiving a semi-monthly allowance amounting to one-haf his regular pay. This allowance is paid by the Employes' Benefit Fund estab- lished by the Southwestern Telegraph and Telephone company. Without one cent of expense to employees, fund of $33, 900 has been set aside to meet payments under a broad plan cover ing accident, sickness and death bene- fits.
 : McMichael received full pay for thirteen weeks, and will receive half pay until he is able to resume his work. The maximum time for the half pay benefit is set at six years.
 Another employe who is now receiv- ing payments from the fund is H. s. Queen of Earle. Ark, who fell from a pole last June and broke his arm. lJlhc IlCildel, ue TeCelNtu lull pay for thirteen weeks and will continue to receive half pay until he has re- covered from his injury. Queen was in the service only nine months when his accident occurred
 The family of another telephone worker in Arkansas received $2,400 following his death, which occurred while in the performance of duty.
 This life insurance is another fea- ture of the Southwestern Telegraph and Telephone company's benefit plan. Dependents of employees who have been engaged in the business for five or more years are entitled to one years salary, not to exceed $2000, in case of death from natural causes If death results from injuries received while at work for the company the amount is increased to three years salary, not to exceed 5000.
 The benefit fund also provides for pensions for employees who have served from twenty to thirty years. The lowest pension is SEQ per month.
 The Southwestern Telegraph and Telephone company's benefit plan is considered one of the most liberal now being followed by any public utility in the country.

fault; pamrul comparisons were drawn with the former system under company management, and it was pointed out that the governments profit through duties levied on the National Telephone company was ac- tually greater than its present profit as owner Of the service. Altogether this experiment in state monopoly looks like anything but a success. But the postmaster-general is seemingly impenitent; and anyhow he has the telephones and means 10 stick to them, so there is no help for it. But one hopes, for the credit of the pos, office. that an effort will be made 70 give the public more satisfaction than 1t has recently had"

 My friends began asking me why l looked so well, and told them about Cardui. Several are now taking it."

Allied Respect for Neutrality

SalOniki is in Greece. Greece is neutral France
and Great Britain have landed more than 100000 troops
at Saloniki on Greek soil, and are preparing to land
more. These troops are to invade Servia and oppose
the German and Austro-H Hungarian forces.
Puzzle: How much greater a crime would 1t be for
Germany to cross Rumanian (neutraD soil on her way
to Turkey? Does the act of Germany in crossing Bel
GUM into France justify the act of the allies in crossing
Greece into Servia? How long would Swiss soil remain
uninvaded by the opposing forces if it were not for
the Swiss army ready and quick to strike the first in
vader?
The answer Is all one: Nothing but fear Of Imme-
date consequences prevents any Of the belhgerents
from invading any of the neutral countries. If Ger
many dared, she would invade Holland, Denmark, or the
Scandinavian peninsula to accomplish her ends against
her foes. If Great Britain dared, she would Cross Hol-
land to Germany. If France or Italy dared, either
would cross Swiss soil to invade Germany. No neutral
law of international intercourse stand to protect any

Something To Work Toward

e. PasO has it in her power to make a great and
permanent contribution to international goodwill, here
on this border between the United States and Mexico,
simply by taking advanced steps in the education and
care Of her own residents, regardless of their nationality
It IS true that a large proportion Of the permanent
Spanish speaking population Of this city has not taken

these people participate largely in the industrial and
mmercia life Of FL Paso, both as producers and as
consumers.
Our problem IS to raise their efficiency as producers
to the highest possible limit. FL Paso enjoys, and Will
always enjoy, an unlimited labor supply; but It rests
with US whether that supply shall be trained and skilled,
or altogether unskiIled and unframed.
A quantity of unskiled and unframed labor IS use
full in any community, but It is the skilled and trained
labor that lifts and holds a community high in the in
dustnal scale. Our immense supply Of unframed and
u~nskilled labor may be compared with an inexhaustible
supply of falling water, wasted because not turned to
account in power development. Our problem is to de-
