Heroic Savers Of Life.


II one could behold the scope Of the
work of the life-savers in single
glance he could see that these 1000
men meet at a thousand stations on
dark and lonely shores and exchange
brass checks and bring these brass
checks with them on their return to
their life stations as evidence that
they had patrolled the coast. Never
has one Of these faithful servants
failed to come back promptly with the
check of the patrol, unless he was
halted by a case Of distress, and even
then his fellow patrol comes en- to
meet him. Scores of men give their
lives to the devouring sea to save life
and millions Of property. There are
now 290 stations on the sea and lake
coasts CT the United States. There are
men in the service that have saved
as many as 300 lives and literally ev-
cry man in the service has been an
actor in one or more of its 10000 hero
stories. In 1912 rescue service was
rendered to 1871 vessels. carrying g..
800 passengers, the total value of these
vessels and their cargoes being ST..
OOO,000,000.

TE[EPH0NETR TRIUMPH
COMPLETE CIRCUIT FROM NEW
YORK TO SAN FRANCISCO.
FIRST MESSAGE BY inventor
Line Officially Opened Jan. rs, 1915,
$500 Miles In Length. Trans
mission Clear and Distinct.

New York.-From the fifteenth
floor of New York skyscraper, In the
office of Theodore N. Vail, president
of the American Telephone and Tele-
graph company, Alexander Graham
Bell Monday afternoon telephoned to
Thomas A, Watson in San Francisco,
sending the first message ever tele'
phoned across the continent.
Although engineers and scientists
have worked for nearly forty years
perfecting transmitters, receivers,
lines, cables, switchboards and various
telephone apparatus that all com,
bined made transcontinental tele'
phoning possible, John ]. Carly, chief
engineer Of the Bell Telephone Sys'
TEN, insisted that the inventor of the
telephone should have the honor OF
sending the first ocean to ocean mes
sage, and thus it was that DR.. Bell and
Mr.. Watson were at either end of the
line Monday afternoon.
In a little workshop in Boston, June
2, 1876, it was Alexander Graham Bell
who spoke and Thomas A. Watson
who heard the first message ever sent
by telephone. "Come here Watson,
want you," were the first words ever
conveyed over wire. That wire was
only sixty feet in length. The line
used Monday is 3,400 miles long.
A bit of sentiment that entered into
the celebration of the opening Of the
fro limo WAS that the
sixty feet of wire used in the frs

talk in Boston was spliced into the
line Monday, thirty feet of it at New
York and thirty feet at San Francisco.
Ever since the telephone was dis.
covered, America, the land Of its
birth, has kept the lead, using more
telephones than all the rest of the
world. More than twenty-one million
miles of wire in this country now
unite nine million telephones in 10000
cities, towns and villages. All the rest
Of the world has less than five million
telephones.
In 1876 the longest telephone line in
the world was from Boston to Cam
bridge, two miles; in 1884 it was ex-
tended to New York, 235 miles. Chi
cago and New York were connected in
1895, and in 1911 New York could say
Hello" to Denver.
In the forty years since the tele.
phone was invented nearly hundred
types of transmitters. and numerous
repeating instruments and other de-
vices have been used and discarded
for something better, but 1t is asserted
that no single new discovery has been
responsible for this latest and great
est achievement in the telephone art.
In the two circuits Of the transcon-
tinental line there are approximately
six million pounds of copper wire, or
about two hundred carloads. This
wire is stretched on 100000 poles.
which IL they were loaded on railroad
cars would make twenty trains Of
thirty cars each.
The route of the transcontinental
telephone line is from New York to
Pittsburgh, thence to Chicago. Daven-
port, Des Moines, Omaha, Lincoln,
Denver, Salt Lake City and to San
Francisco.
It is understood that the rate will
be about $21.00 for three-minute talk
from New York to San Francisco.
Stationed along this great stretch
of telephone line the day it was open
ed were repairmen every few miles,
in the big centers, in the little towns.
on the prairies, in the mountains, and
out on the desert, ready to splice the
wires in case they were torn down by
sleet or wind, to solder break or re.
place an insulator broken by q storm
or mischievous boy. Like soldiers
on picket duty, these repairmen will
J be kept on constant vigil. night and
! day, in good weather and in bad, for
1t is advertised that this line Is soon
to be opened to the public for con-
stant use.

Tea and Sulphur. properly compound

lustre to the hair when faded, streaked

scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make 1t at home. which is
mussy and troublesome. Nowadays,
by asking at any store fer "Wyeth's

ROAD
BUILDING
GUARD AGAINST ROAD ABUSE
Some Punishment Should Be Melted
Out to Those Who Deliberately Cut
Up Highways Built for Public.

You bought and paid for the road
that runs by your doorway and the
other roads in your township and
county. That is, you paid your part
In building the highway. If you are a
property owner you paid that Part
directly in so many dollars and cents
Of road and bridge tax. If you are q
renter you are not escaping. You are
paying in rent and indirectly.
The road is your road. II it is cut
up by the hauling of heavy loads on
narrow-tired wagons you will have to
stand for the trouble and discomforts
of next winter, when the ruts are hub
deep. If you permit heavy rains to
scour out the foundations of wooden
culvert and that culvert finally falls
in or is washed out, you, as one Of the
daily users of that road, will be dis,
commoded.
Most Of our roads are dirt highways,
writes H. s. Sullivan of Missouri in
Farm Progress. Only a small, a very
small, percentage of the highways Of
this country are hard roads, One
hundred years from now we may have
the beautiful metal" highways such
as are found in the older European
countries, but this is a big land OF
ours. It is a country of magnificent
distances, and the rock and concrete
roads are going to be built very
slowly.
It is the dirt highway that suffers
from carelessness. Two or three men
In a neighborhood can spoil more miles
| Of highway than the remainder of the
community can build. They are abus
ers of what other men build. They
will pile on the heaviest load 1t IL
possible to pull and they never use
the wide-tired vehicles that might hell
the wagon track stand up under the
big loads.
Good or bad weather is all the same
to them il they have something they
want hauled. The sensible man knows
that the use Of dirt road for heavy
hauling in bad weather will spoil thu
highway. He won't do any team
ing that he can avoid, but the roat
butcher will go right ahead. He will
spoil his own roads and the roads o
others.
There ought to be some punishment
provided for the man who will delhi
erately cut up the roadway built by tn
community for the use of the who'll
community and paid for with the pub
lie money. Some states have law
providing punishment for the man VIII
overloads. who uses "skidding logs.
who fills mudholes full of old rails
chunks and poles, and who will pile
wheelbarrow full of rocks in a rut
to become menace to all vehicles q
soon as the road dries off.
But these laws are seldom enforced
