TELEPHONE CONSERVATION
Diamond State Co. Seeks to Min

According TO District Manager f.. r..
Bardo of the Diamond State Telephone
Co, that the company Is about TO IN
gu tnrate an educational campaign for
the purpose of applying To telephone
service the Hoover principles Of CON
servation." in other words, TO eliminate
all wasteful and Unnecessary telephone
calls. For instance, very few people
realize that the apparently innocent,

quires Just as much Of the operators

binary telephone connection.
The calls for the time of day, are, OF
course, more frequent than other I'M
necessary calls, but there are certain
others, however, that tend to disorganlze
the service, and have more serious re-
suits for the time being, that arise from
the fact that this community still has
an antiquated fire alarm system, which
announces IN blatant tones that a fire
exists in some portion Of the'City. True

that the annoying and wasteful practices

strawberries In the yard took curious,
changing shapes. and Penrod kept a
wary eye upon them as he threaded
his way to the kitchen door.
1t opened to his hand, revealing
nothing ave by reminiscent odor; but
there was a dim light I'm the dining
room. Thither he proceeded. his un-
nerved condition being at once i'm
proved by the sight Of viands and vege-
tables, for there was a plate upon the
table at his accustomed place, and
food plenteous, though grown cold.
A conjunction of suggestions. oc-
curing is he ate, recalled something
like an echo of Delia's voice; gradu-
ally he became susceptible to an I'M
preston that his father and mother
and sister had not dined at home.
Then abruptly 1t struck him that he
might be alone In the house.
"All alone in an empty house," AS
the words formed In Penrod's mind. 1t
was as If a husky voice had uttered
them somewhere overhead. He was
grieyously startled.
IAN empty house !"
AT the upper end of the table was
a part of a cold ham, beside which lay
q large, horn-handled carying-knife /;
and Penrod, after swallowing dryly
once or twice, lunged suddenly at fhis
implement, grasped It, and stood upon
the defensive. He remained In a tense
attitude. listening: and there was no
sound either within the house or with
out; nothing could have been more
ominous. Finally. carving knife In
hand, he went back to the kitchen,
where he had left the ak, and returned
to the dining room doubly armed.
Again he stood to listen.
Suddenly Penrod whirled straight
about, with ak and carving knife both
lifted to strike at something behind
him.
Nothing was there except the side
board, 81 he 'bout-faced s~usplciously
again. Then. laying the ak upon the
table, but keeping the knife In his
right hand, he stepped upon a chair
and extended his left hand TO the gas
fixture. meaning to turn the jet on
full. But he pressed the key in the
