Eu uening Chat
Per Telephone
BY RUTH CAMERON.

The users of the telephone are many
and varied, and some of them more
fearful than wonderful, especially if
you are party on the line of the per-
son who INDUCES in them.
The other evening took up the re-
ceiver and heard some one say, Don't
you want to hear some of our new re-
cords?" Now 1 am not in the habit
of listening on the line, but I felt that
as long as 1 was helping to pay for the
concert L might be permitted to listen
to it. And 1 did. 1t lasted for about
ten minutes and consisted of half a
dozen dance records.

a young bride whom I know chanc-

months she used to call up central to
find out when to start getting her hus-

yentional uses. Others are accustom-

from that little black instrument, ad-
dresses, the trolley schedule, the
weather, the news of the day and

actually, and thinking of the people
on their line who use the telephone
with a capital U or perhaps I should
say a capital A.
For their benefit I want to tell of
a scheme a friend of mine has recent
ly put into practice One morning
she waited from eight until halfpast
for a chance to use the telephone. 1t
was held all that time by one party.
The fragments of conversation which
reached her ear whenever she lifted
were plainly social gossip.
| She waited so long that she missed
her car, and as she was taking a troll
ley journey, thereby missed connec-
tions all day.
Of course she was indignant, and
then, being just person, she remem-
bered that she had sometimes used
the telephone in the same way.
So the next day she called up each
1 party on her line and suggested this
agreement, that after any party had
used the telephone for social purposes
for five minutes any other party who
wanted it for business was privileged
to cut in and ask courteously for the
use of the line. I'VE all like to use
the telephone for social talks some
/ times,'' she explained. "and there is
no reason we shouldn't if it isn't need
ed for other purposes. We have also
asked the operator to break in if the
line has been continuously in use by
one party.
Il How the scheme is working out
don't know as she has only recent,
inaugurated it. But this I do know
that it rests on the best foundation am
scheme can have, the foundation o
justice and mutual considerations

KEROSENE KILLS.

OF all the products of petroleum,
kerosene seems to be the most dan
gerous to life and property, according
to a bulletin issued by the Kansas
fire marshars office. Not that gaso-
line in itself is less of a hazard than
kerosene. 1t is question of care used
in handling. Gasoline has long been
recognized as a high explosive and
most people are more or less afraid OF
it, with the result that they use care
in handling it. But kerosene has been
a household article for half century
1t is used every day for lighting pur-
poses on the farm and in the homes of
the poor in the city. Familiarity
breeds contempt Accustomed from
childhood to seeing kerosene handled
about the house, people have ceased to
fear it's destructive power. Last year
on Manhattan Island, New York city,
where kerosene is less used, probably,
than anywhere else in the United
States, 33 out of 106 deaths from fire
were caused directly by carelessness
with kerosene. No accurate detailed
statistics are available for Kansas.
However, a careful examination of
newspaper clippings coming to the
state fire marshal from over the state
would seem to indicate that at least
one-third of the deaths from fire last
year were due to the same cause. In
Kansas most of the accidents occur
through the use of kerosene in start
ing fires. Sudden and unexpected ex-
plosions occurring when ordinary care
had been used were quite common.
The simple fact is that he who starts
a fire with kerosene is taking his life
in his own hands. Enlisting in the
army in time of war involves no great
er likelihood of injury or violent death
than does the habit of using kerosene
for kindling.

New York city is gasping for breath
And no wonder. Harry Bruere has
walked out of his office as city cham
berlain of the greater city, a job that
pays $4,000 a year, and for no better
reason than that he considers the Of
flee an unnecessary one and useless
burden on the city. He says the work
of the office can readily be done by
other city officials. But Kansas of
course beat New York to such an ex
hibition of pblic probity. Bert Walker,
of Osborne, editor of the Osborne
County Farmer, practically did the
same thing a couple of years ago with
his place on the state irrigation COM
mission and after he had gone to the
trouble of getting elected to it in a
statewide contest. More than that,
Mr.. Walkers contention that this COM
mission was unnecessary resulted in
its abolition. So New York city will
haXe to abolish the city chamberlain's
office before it does as we'll as Kansas
did in such a situation.

Mystery of the Lost Colonists.

Among the great mysteries of the
worlds history is that of the complete

men, women, and children who had
come from England to settle on this
continent, under the direction of Sir
Walter Raleigh. These colonists
passed as had the ancient Israelitas

onists. This assumption is based not
only on the traditions of the Croatans
buc also on their manners, such as
their use of English words, medicines,
and crossb ,ws of the time of Queen
Eliza beth.
| 1t is not at all impossible that the
settlers of Whites colony at Roanoke,
cut off rs they were from all connec-
tions with civilized Europeans, should

either voluntarily or involuntarily, and

no records or certain evidences of the
new life entered upon by the colonists

If the English settlers actually

must have had the overpowering de-

bility, of course, that the Eliza bethan

much less teach others to. and that

tire1y to conform with those of the

Even should the present Gay Croa-

one thing, that the discovery of the

There is little consolation or salts
