A Few More Thoughts on the
Telephone Situation
We Keep Telling the Day Day Perhaps ".
VIII Make An Effect
By EARL GOODWIN.

The telephone company says the Public Utilities Com
mission is treating it unjusty in allowing temporary
relief and in asking for information which Cannot be pro-
duced.
Let revert to the opening of the hearing before tn
commission, You will remember perhaps, that the COM
company wanted to raise your rates because there
much unnecessary talk the wires and because there
great amount of added Government business.
They said it not matter of money at all, simply
matter of convenience.
Later the Bureau of Standards which has done the fin
est job of turning the light have EVER seen exposed
the fact that the relief the telephone company asks for in
this ofhand will in reality amount to millions and
pay for this present equipment in few months :
Also the Bureau of Standards shows what the rest Of
have suspectedthat the United States Government NOT
paying for its share of the telephone bill There is such
deficit that the telephone company wants YOU to stop the
gap.
Also remember that telephone official said his com
pany would install automatic phones, which much bet
the Government offered to take the telephone COM
pany'S Washington plant, install MODERN automatic in
struments, and give MORE service for LESS money in
place of the telephone companys ambition to give LESS
service for MORE money.
Later the telephone company with its aversion to auto
matte telephones rpudated the statement of the aforesaid
telephone and claims it cannot give the Public
Utilities Commission any estimate to the cost of installing
automatic system here. The telephone monopoly HATES
think of automatcs and fights them wherever they ap
pear However they coming to be the recognized and
universally used instrument just the steam engine
lutionized industry the face of pigheaded opposition
Remember also that the telephone system is powerful
and that its stocks and bonds held by many many
people This creates atmosphere and III bet hat that
if the Public Utilities Commission recommends anything
the telephone company does NOT like there will be thick
atmospheric pressure against it IN high places

Again Mrs. Peckham dropped the

Another month passed. On its
last day Miss Gray. at the widow

turned, she found Mrs. Peckham
waiting for her in the family llV-
ing room.

the widow eagerly.

claimed irritably. HE talked Of

loyalty and liberty before they pro

them, the poor dears. Did he tell
you he could never be happy with
another woman"
HE intimated something like
that" Mary admitted.
The widow nodded. "You will
get his proposal in the morning
mail" she said.
For once the astute widow was
wrong. The proposal came that
same evening, by special mes
senger.

Mary read the letter with min

from the signature to see her sister
studying her face.

"Of course not You know I
never had any idea Of marrying
him"

Peckham. "He would have seen it,
too, II he hadn't been blind as

fully. I'm going to marry him
myself"
Mary gasped
You are?"

Then, why"
Mrs. Peckham yawned
"Widowers always have to go
through so many preliminaries,
she explained. before they make
up their minds that l thought I'd
let Henry work them on on you.
But now that he is in a marrying
mood, I'll take him I've liked him
all along"
Mary, who did not relish the
calm assumption Of proprietorship,
and who had visions Of the wild
over fading away in a swift de-
cline after her rejection Of him,
permitted herself question Of sis
terly candor.
How do you know you can get

Mrs. Peckham looked at her. II

She began another question.

out.
Does he ever speak Of his

Mary shook her head.

he rarely mentions her except in
some casual way, when he is tel

thing like that"
Mrs. Peckham's face frightened.
"He is a nice friend for you,
dear" she said warmly, and drop
ped the subject
Two months later she returned
to it Mary and the widower had
been going to theaters and con-
certs several times a week for the
past fortnight.

m HE widower had been calling
on Miss Gray for two
months.
From the first time Il was clear
that though he was a stranger In
the city the ways Of women were
not strange to him. In all the
preliminary stages of the acQusint-
ance he conducted himself with
delicate fact and a due regard to
the established rules. Also, he
showed an immediate knowledge Of
the big cards in the game.

Fuel Tension
Nearing End

CHATTANOOGA, Nov. 12.-With
what degree of rapidity restrictions
promulgated by the fuel administra-
tion will be lifted following an ar
mistice or the guarantee of peace is
being discussed by those most inte
ested in this feature of the economic
developments of the county as re-
suit of the war. How long will light
less nights prevail and when will
manufacturers be allowed to pur-
chase any quantity Of coal they may
desire, are some Of the questions be-
ing propounded.
It is suggested as matter Of spec
ulation, that with the closing of mu-
milton plants, privately owned, and
the terminating without completion
of the great war program of the gov
ernment, which is inevitable upon the
signing of the terms of the armistice,
that the restriction or consumption
Of coal win be considerably lessened.

they. are sufficient to carry a.note Of
warning. Socialism has apparently
swept into power, through virtual
ly bloodless revolution from border
to border. Reports indicate that the
various kings have abdicated hastily
and the soldiers and workman's
councils have proclaimed republics in
Schleswig- Holstein, Wurtemburg,
Saxony, and other states.
The Kaiser has fled to Holland,
leaving the government in the hands
of Prince Max and Chancellor Ebert,
the latter a socialist leader of the
Reichstag of considerable imperial
istic tendency.
In this hour, when Socialism is pre-
ON trial in Germany, the al
lied nations stand ready, it was stat
ed today, to do everything necessary
to help Germany democratize
Allied diplomats and American Of
icials were unanimous today in de-
claring that Germany must be saved
if possible from the fate she imposed
on Russia by anarchy and rebellion.
Hence it appears likely that 3 definite

posed assistance for Germany win

WASHINGTON, Nov 49, Chairman Charles
