Telephone Courtesy

The New York Telephone Com
pany is spending thousands of dol
lars in an endeavor to educate peo-
pie to the proper use of the tele-
phone and of common courtesy in
telephone conversation. Yet in spite
of this there are people who will in
sist upon calling up numbers and go
into lengthy conversations without
the courtesy of announcing their
identity.
We appreciate telephone calls, and
more so when they come from young,
attractive, athletic ladies', but, please.

CITY NEARS SUMMER
SHORTAGE OF WATER
Hot Weather Quickly Bringing
Consumption to Maximum of
400,000,000 Gallons Daily

Double the presen; supply Of filtered
water will be furnished the philadelphia
Navy Yard as the result Of proposals re-
ceived today by Chief Carleton f. Davis,
Of the Water Bureau, for the laying Of a
new twelve-inch main from South Broad
street to the Government reservation,
The city ls fast reaching a maximum
consumption Of water Of 4OO,OOO,OOO gallons
daily. and as this Is in excess Of the amount
that can be furnished even with the help
Of newly installed pumps the usual summer
complaint from South Philadelphia is about
due. Because Of this condition the sugges-
ton has been made that the Government
construct a standpipe ard local pumping
station at League Island so that the supply
could be taken from the city mains at night
when the demand is lighter in residential
sections south Of Market street As yet the
naval authorities have asked for no appro-
priation for this auxiliary water service
and Will tap the mains directly at all hours
In order TO reduce the cost Of the new
twelve-inch main, which was demanded by
naval authorities on the grounds that the
population Of the government reservation
has been more than doubled since the out
break Of the war, the Water Bureau will
furnish the Cast-irOn pipe to be laid and
lead pipe that Will be melted and used
for the joints. The original estimate of the
work was $2S.OOO. but because Of the sup
plies the city has on hand the work is not
likely to exceed $4,000.
The new supply will approximate 1,0OO,-
900 gallons daily. but the exact amount
cannot be estimated. as the flow. on reach
ing the southern section OF the city, is
greatly reduced through repeated tdppings
for the central section. This is especially
the case in the daytime. and chief Davis
has long advocated a new supply main
for sections south Of Market street only.

DRAFT BOARDS EXPECT
TO FINISH WORK TODAY
Only Five More Lists to Be For
warded From Philadelphia.
Many Hours of Hard Work

The local exemption boards are making
determined effort TO get their official
lists Of names of men subject to draft
on their way to Washington today. All
but FIVE Of the boards had sent their lists
TO Washington early today and the re-
naming hope to have their lists in the
mail before night.
All members Of the boards were fairly
exhausted from the effort Of keeping their
own businesses going and at the same time
overseeing the preparation of the lists.
Every card had TO be stamped and signed
by one OF the members Of the board after
II was given the serial number ordered by
the Government This meant hours Of
laborious work Then the names, numbers
and addresses were copied onto the lists
by typlsts and afterward the board mem-
bcrs had to 20 over each one personally
to make sure that there were no errors in
spelling or numbering.
Among the boards which expect 10 COM
plete their lists today are Nos ST. 20. "a,
rs and 6. Andrew G. Kelley. chairman
Of No. "a, has experienced his share Of
the difficulties going with war draft one
of the members Of his board refused to
accept the draft position, owing to the
fact that he could not leave his business,
and Dr. Deacon Stcinmetz was forced to
leave town on professional business, so
all Of the routine Of preparing the list
fell upon Mr. Eeeley. He and a number
Of clerks worked the greater part Of last
night completing the lists and verifying
them according to the original cards
When the reports Of all Of these boards
are in the hands of Provost Marshal Cen
eral Crowder Philadelphia can be con-
sidered as ready for the draft. II Is under
stood that the next step will be the drawing
Of numbers in Washington, which will de-
termne the men who must first respond
to the call of their country. Just when
these names will be drawn is either being
kept secret by the officials in Washington
or is not known owing TO the uncertainty
as to when all of the lists are received
from the various States. About two-thirds
Of the States had been heard from complete
today, and it IL hoped that the final returns
will be in the latter part of the week. so
that the numbers may be drawn Saturday or
early next week.
on order of Provost Marshal General
Crowder all men who have registered were
notified yesterday to hold themselves in
readiness for the call. Circulars describing
the manner in which drawn men must pro-
