SOUTHERN EXTENDS
USE OF TELEPHONE

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 24.-In
order that it may extend the use CT
the telephone for dispatching trains
oTer the entire line from Alexandria
Va, to Salisbury, N. c., $50 miles
Southern Railway has authorized the
construction of 2 telephone circuits
between Alexandra and Monroe, Va,
100 miles. The construction work
will furnish employment to number
o. men and will be under the objection
of W. H. Potter, Superintendent CT
Telegraph, who will organize gangs q
Put up the wires and install the sta
ton equipment.
Work will be begun as soon as fore-
es can be organized and the necessary
material secured. Between Monroe
and Salisbury the Southern has used
the telephone for dispatching trains
Cor a number of years and the results
have been SO satisfactory as to justify
an extension of this system.
The telephone has several advant-
ages over the telegraph. Service s.
quicker and it is easier to guard
against error The dispatcher writes
the order as he sends it, spelling out
all figures such as train numbers, en-
CINE numbers, and time. The receiver
writes the message as he receives it
and then repeats it to the dispatcher,
spelling out all figures. The telephone
brings the sender and receiver into
close touch and the dispatcher, should
occasion arise can talk personally to
the conductor or engineer of any train
On his division.
The line between Alexandria and
Salisbury is a very important part or
the Washington-Atlant line and
Southern Railway has provided every
facility for moving heavy business
over it safely and expeditiously.
Double track is now being constructed
and automatic electric block signals
installed on all parts of it not already

"DOWn With
Peanuts" Cry
Of Show Men

ATLANTA, Ca, Feb. 24.-"Down
with peanuts" is the new slogan of the
ATLANTA theatre. Manager Homer
George, as the result of criticisms lev
elled by Editor Tom LoyIess, of Au-
gusta, has announced that the artistic
performances of the theater will no
longer be married by the raucous voice
of the boys calling peanuts, popcorn,
candy and chewing gum between the
acts.
If the peanut vendors had just re-
manned upstairs in the gallery where
they were supposed to sell their wares,
the change might never have come
about, but some of the more enterpris-
ing ones discovered that down in the
supposedly aristocratic and elegant
orchestra circle there was just as
much demand for their plebian re-
freshments as up under the roof
So, henceforth, if you want to ID
any eating at the Atlanta you will have
to provide yourself with your own re-
freshments.

AMERICAN NURSES
IN GREAT SUCCESS

LONDON, Feb. 24-Ninety-eight pei
cent. of the wounded soldiers treated al

ond thousand cases handled by that in.
stitution. The hospital is at Paignton
South Devon, with Sir William Osle-
formerly of John Hopkins, as consult
ing physician, and DR.. Penhallow as
chief surgeon.
The report shows that of the surg.
iical cases sixty-three per cent were
cured and thirty-three per cent i'm
proved. The same percentage of cures
and improvements were secured in
medical cases. In the thousand cases
there were but five deaths, or consider
ably less than one per cent.
The promptness with which relief is
given to men on the battlefield immed-
lately after they are wounded Is
brought out by the statistics of the re-
port. OF the total wounded cases, one
quarter of them had received immedi-
ate first aid field dressing, and an adj
ditional thirteen per cent had received
this field dressing within fifteen min
utes. Another twenty-five per cent had
been treated on the field within one
hour of being wounded, while a small
remaining percentage were treated
within few hours, and very few
after long delay of forty-eight and
seventy-two hours.
Gas-poisoning is one of the principal
causes of the cases treated, and while
typhoid has been largely reduced there
were seven cases. The number of am
putations was fourteen, which, consid-
ering the number of serious cases, was
an exceptionally favorable showing.
AS showing the different classes of
wounds received in action, the follow
iva,
ating wounds: shrapnel 10 per cent;
shell 2 per cent; bullet 80 per cent;
grenade per cent. In surface wounds
the percentage of shrapnel injury is
wounds from bayonets is the smallest,
being less than one per cent.

Charley Chaplin
Idle Because His
Price Was High

What has become of Charlie Chap
linz" Americas movie fans ask con-
stantiy these days. Here's the an.
swer.
Charlie is now in New York City I'm.
attached because he is holding out for
over 100000 year, while all the
comedies filmed of him during 1915
are being held up by the Essanay III
rectors, because they don't like the
way Charlie treated them.
Saturdays New York Review car
rles a story to this effect. The Re-
view states on absolute authority tina,
Chaplin, now in New York, has sign
ed 40 contract with any company, de-
handing an advance of 100000 when
he signs, so per cent of profits from
his films and guarantee that these
profits shall not be less than $4,000 a
week, this sum to be paid him as a
weekly salary. The Review fgfiures
that this would mean 100000 a year
for Chaplin-jay that might be en-
We'd by an imperial Caesar.
The Review says that the Essanay
company made two millions out of tha
Chaplin pictures last year, pictures
made only in 1914. During 1915, says
the Review, Chaplin made over 100
comedies for Essanay, including six
reel burlesque on Farrar in Carmen,
none of which have been released. Tic
Reviews opinion is that Essanay in
tends to hold these films until Chap
lin signs with another company, and
then turn 'em loose, one by one, thus
sadly gripping the new Chaplin con
tract.

RAT TAILS SELL At
PREMIUM, TRENCH

PARIS, Feb. 24.-Rat tails are now
worth a cent each none part of the
French battle front. The General com.
handing in that section has issued tht
following order of the day: with the
OBJECT of interesting the men in the de-
struction of rodents a premium of five
Confines shall be paid for each raj
destroyed, The premium shall be paid
every ten days, on presentation of the
tails of the destroyed animals. The
rats, bearing vermin susceptible OF
spreading disease must not be handl-
ed, but Immediately buried, and the
tails done up in paper impregnatei
with tar or petroleum" The order re-
suited in a tremendous slaughter of
rats, but was not obeyed in all it's de-
tails. 1t appears that the new fashion
of trimming women's garments with
fur has created an outlet for rats fur,
and the rat-hunting soldiers skin their
victims before burying them, disinfect
and sterilize the hides, and sell them
to the suffers behind the front.
1t is estimated that the rats have de-
stroyed millions of francs worth Of
provisions sent to the soldiers by their
friends and relatives at home. An Of
tfcer at the front recently wrote his
wife that it would be useless for her to
send him any more provisions, as it
was impossible to preserve them from
the rats, and in no case had he any
more than single lunch out of all the
eatables sent to him. Some surprise
has been expressed that several hun.
dred thousand men, turned rat hunters,
have been unable to exterminate them.
A mathematician has take the trouble
to calculate that years progency of a
single pair of rats may easily amour.
to more than one hundred and twenty
two millions, which he holds is proof
that only wholesale poisoning or SUI
location can cope with the pest. In
fact, of all the different measures
adopted against them, none have pro-
duced the results obtained by the suf-
location gas that the Germans occas-
ionally send towards the French
trenches. Thousands of them were
picked up dead in the first line of the
trenches after one of these gas attacks.
Another statistician has figured out
that it costs a centime and half day
to nourish rat, anu consequently fig
ures their depredations on that basis
to amount to forty-four million dollars
year in France alone.

been revised since that time and the
bill is more satisfactory in it's present
form to the Japanese people who are
insisting upon social reform.
In connection with the new regula
tons the government is preparing to
draft and enforce new conditions per-
tanning to the control of mining with a
view to improve the conditions of work
in mines where fire damps and explos-
ions have frequently caused loss of
life.
The latest factory returns show that
about $4,000 boys and $4,000 girls I'M
der IA years of age are employed
throughout the country. Considerable
scope is given to the inspectors under
the new regulations and it may reas-
onably be expected that a great many
of the present day evils of the Jap
anese factory system will be eradicat-
ed.

Million Factory Workers
WilProm By Lqw In Japan

TOXIC, Feb. 24.-Social re:oTmert
are expressing satisfaction over the
putting into operation of new law ~
which something like a million Jap
anese factory workers will be bene-
fitted.
The new law applies to some 1900
factories employing ordinarily not few
er than Is operatives or those engaged
IN dangerous or injurious work. The
main features of the bill are the pro
Eibition of child labor in any heavy
work; the prohibition of employment
of male workers under Is years AMI
females of any age for more than IL
hours in single day and the prohibit
tion of the employment of male opera
tiVes under Is and all females between
the hours of 10 p. m. and 4 a. m. except
in exceptional cases when speedy ex-
ecution of contract on hand is re-
quired.
Furthermore, factory owners are re-
CURED to give at least 2 holidays il
month to male operatives under Is and
to all females, with the understanding
that this number is to be doubled in
case the work is carried on day and
night and the operatives engaged are
divided into two groups and work in
turn. 1t is forbidden to employ boys
under Is or women, for such work as
cleaning, oiling or repairing of ma
chimes in motion or for any other
dangerous work such as the handling
of explosives or poisonous or any other
injurious material and in a general way
where conditions are dangerous or n.y.
CHEMICALLY harmful.
Another provision is that in ease of
injury or death of the operative
through no gross fault of his own he
owner Of the factory shall give relief
to the operative or his family. The
regulations also provide a flnc for vi.
olation of the law.
The bill was originally promulgated
in the fern Of an imperial ordinance
III 1911 but it's enforcement had been
postponed until now on the ground of a
lack of appropriation required for the
establishment of the factory depart
pent of the government and the pay
> p,cnt of officials necessary to supervise
he operation of the law. When the bill
vas adopted it was severely criticised
IN the ground that it did not sufficient

ANCIENT CITY HAS
BEEN PAsSED|N WAR

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 49,.
Marking the forthest port that Rus
sian forces have ever penetrated into
Turkey-in-Asia during the many wars
between these empires, Petrograd has
just announced the passing by the
Grand Dukes troops of the ancient
city of Baiburt, the gloomy, gray-aged
mountain town that stood at the hign
tide of the Muscovites' fierce smash in
t Asia Minor in 1929" begins prim-
Ell on war geography just issued by
the National Geographic Society at
Washington. "Baibur is we'll on the
road from Erzerum to the important
Turkish Black Sea port of Trebizond
Theer is good highway between the
Turkish Metz, just fallen, and the
port, and no fortresses of note ban
tie way from Baiburt to the coast.
"Baiburt, after Erzerum, is the chic
city of the region. 1t is built on a higt
mountain plateau, and climbs the hill
sides on both banks of the Churuk Riv.
erIts chief military Importance is that
of an inland base for the supply of 4
battle front toward Russia or Persia
he place has no special industry, and il
is such far cry to the days when
wealth circulated freely in its brisli
markets that even the traditions Of
its oldtfme prosperity have been for
gotten by all the inhabitants. Thu
town today is ramshackle Its bazaar
is poor, and there is little of tourist in.
terest about the place except the
wonderful visitas around it.
"Triebizond, Turkeys first port upon
tie Black Sea, lies about thirty-nine
miles from Baiburt. The population Of
10000 is mostly Kurdish and Armen-
ian. The Pontic mountains seep the
towns horizon on the north, and offer
the next strong lines for defense
against Russian progress to the coast
The capture of Trebizone would be al.
most as important to the Tar az
would be the capture of Calais and
Eoulogne to the Germans. However
from Baiburt on, the country continues
mountainous and difficult.
"Baiburt lies 500 feet above sea
level. From the old castle, originally
constructed by Armenians and restor-
ed by the Seljuk Turks, splendid views
of the surrounding country are to be
obtained. The castle stands crowded
upon an isolated rock, and before the
days of gun powder it opposed a for
ridable problem to attacking enemies
General Paskevich led the Russians
who successfully came this way nearly
100 years ago, and it was largely owing
to the threat of his army at Erzerum
and Baiburt that reconciled the Turks
to early peace"

ant to give certain testimony which
he had during his term as county at

commissioners that authorized the
jail to be built, and practically all of
his testimony covered that action.
The hearing was discontinued about
