Order to Operators

Order to Operators
A signed agreement to the effect
that up-to-date phones will be put in
within "a months from September
13 and that all telephone poles will
be moved off Elm street between
First and Sixth ard practically all on
Chestnut between the same streets
that is the net result of the recent
protest of the town fathers to the
Southern Bell Telephone Co. about
inadequate service. District Manag-
er Morgan B.Spier of Charlotte came
down Thursday to See about it and
the signed agreement was arranged
at a meeting of the mayor and town
board Thursday afternoon.
This is the same agreement that
Mr.. Spier made with the town faith
ers last spring. The only difference
is, now the agreement is in writing
Mr.. Spier promised the board that
| he would make all contracts ard
q. place on1ers for all materials a
. once and that new phones would bt
put in during 1913 if possible. HI
: plead the quite evident fact that i
is uncertain now about how long i
, may take to get the necessary ma
: terials. He does not remember prom
:: ising to put in up-to-date phone
h some Years before the war brok
out and present conditions obtained
but at least men in Lumberton ar
quite positive that he made such
promise.
Mr.. Spier also assured Mayo
Proctor that service with the pre-!
ent system would be improved E
far as possible. He said he wou]
issue an onder to the effect that tt
operators, instead of interruptir
conversations, should cut in and Ii
ten, and if the conversation was. g
"@ on to say nothing and let tt
connection alone. Which ought
help some.

Why Veins Look Blue.

1t is a peculiar fact that the veins
on the hand or other surface portions
Of the body look blue to the eye, where
as the blood Is red. This is because
we see the light reflected back to our
eyes from this blood through the walls
Of the veins, which give 1t BLUSH
