One subscriber told of an instance
In which he had tried for half an
hour to reach his own Office. Each
.Stlme the line was busy. He knew
that the stenographer and Office how
were the only ones there to use the
telephone. Finally, in desperation. he
asked the manager Of the telephone
company II there wasn't some way the
operator could break In ON the wire
and tell his "help" that the boss
wanted a chance to say word.
II or course. the telephone people
could not do 1t In this case. But the
=. problem of reducing the length of I'M.
: important calls is one that directly
affects the service given by any tele
+ phone company.
e. H. Weber, Division Manager Of
the telephone company says that four
teen per cent of the calls placed in
Richmond do not reach their destina-
ton because the number called is
busy. Busy lines affect two of the
u three parties to every call. To the
! he making call, they are a source
va "iiiio! ohSo, causing uelay ana the
bother of calling a second or third
line. To the operator. they mean ex.
a, a work. 1t Is claimed that it is
~ 'sier for her to make a connection
~ r, an to report that the line is busy.
TO the person called - well, he's
Using his own telephone, which he
has a perfect right to do-that's all
there ia to it. or course, If you are
on party line, 1t is manifestly unfair
to pay prolonged wire visit and thus
\ prevent other telephone users on the
ne from making calls or receiving
EN-.
If every user of the telephone would
smeinber, say the telephone officials,
lat an idle conversation can keep an
important message away from two
telephones: IL they are on q party
line. from a larger number OF tele.
phones; and if every person would
hold talks down to reasonable time
limit. there would be considerably less
cause for complaint and real i'm.
provement In telephone service Tel.
ephone visiting may be cheap. but
that's the best you can say of It,

THE CHEAPEST INSURANCE
AGAINST WAR.

The New York Herald features
the announcement from Brussels
that the League of Nations is cost
ing 100000 month. This is the
cheapest insurance against war that
could be imagined. The war. cost us
just about 40 times that rate in
money, and the real cost of the war
was the American soldiers who never
came back from France. Even if it's
an experiment, and even if some
people think it wouldn't work, our

LAMAR ACTED IN TINE
Situation in New York Shows What
Might Have Happened Here If
Contractors Had Not Been
Firm.

The last of the Lamar contracting
firms adopted open shop this week we
are informed and now the building
boom is going forward uninterrupted.
Our people can form some idea of
what conditions might have prevailed
here just at this time, when the whole
future prosperity of our city depends
on building homes and business houses
and building them rapidly, by reading
what the building trades unions are
doing to New York City. The follow
ing dispatch in Mondays Associated
Press service will give fair sample
of the effect of the closed shop or a
building boom:
N. Y. Building Campaign Hit
New York, March 15.-New York, it
has been estimated, is shy dwellings
for about 100000 of its inhabitants,
and office accommodations for nearly
as many more.
Preparation has been made for a
sl00.O00,000 building campaign this
spring and summer. Now It looks
very much as tho the campaign will
not take place at all, or that it will
be greatly curtailed.
Union officials place the blame for
the situation upon the 'stubbornness"
of the Iron League, composed of firms
which erect the steel frames of mod
ern buildings. These firms have been
open shop" for number of years
and recently refused to concur in the
closed shop" agreement reached by
the Building Trades Council and the
Building Trades Employer Associa-
tion.
Now the unions say that the work
of erecting the iron frame work OF the
buildings must Immediately be put
upon a CLOSED shop basis or union
bricklayers, carpenters. masons, etc.
will not work
The unions have also laid d .y.n the
rule that all the iron work put up by
non-union men must be torn down and
put up again by union members.
On the other hand, the Iron Leagu,
declares that it will go ahead with
work on the II jobs it has in hand
today, and that there will be no Jack
of labor to complete the building.

No More Pups.

A little friend of mine who lives
next door has been teasing his mother
for a puppy. Knowing the destructive
habits of such animals, she has firmly
refused to let him have one. At last
he persuaded her to let him borrow
one for half a day TO show her that
a puppy knew enough to properly be-
have himself Being warned that ne
must watch the puppy every minute
It was in the house. the little chap
for time was careful TO keep his eye
on 1t; but, finally firing of such vlgi-
lance, he relaxed his attention only to
give the puppy the chance IT had been
waiting for. II improved 1t to the full
by chewing to pieces one of his most
cherished Christmas toys. This was
too much for the young host. Good
night" he exclaimed, mo more pups
for me; I'll get me a 10 year old dog"

When cork slides down inside :

MYTHS OF SEA MONSTERS"
Remarkable DenIzens Of the Deep
Said to Be Merely creaturss Of
the Imagination.

The appearance OF wandering herds
of sea lions along the shores of south
ern California reminds Of the peren-
NAL stories about monsters Of the
deep. Some scientists have believed
the rare specimens of "oar FISH,"
which sometimes reach the surface.
might be mistaken for sea monsters.
Some of these fish are twenty feet
long. Unfortunately, they are 30
adapted to lives at great depth they
cannot live at the surface. Records
show that two have been washed upon
California beaches.
Many stories of sea monsters are
the fruits OF some excitnble persons
Imagination. There are many things
about the sea which might readily
start such an Imagination working.
The sea Is so large, and hides so many
secrets, that such person might read
lily believe that, IL anyone objected to
his story, he could say the monster
disappeared. Then who could prove
he had not seen f.,
Various people have had traditional
myths and legends about sea mon
sters and those probably have helped
In keeping general interest in such
stories now. The Morse tales are the

Close TO Perpetual Motion.

The nearest approach TO perpetua,
motion was u clock constructed In
1T74 by james Cox, a ieweler at Shoe
lane. London. This clock kept the
scientific world guessing for years.
The energy that made 1t run was de-
rived from the changes in atmospheric
pressure-a barometer was the sole
motive power. Ferguson, the scien-
tist, saw this clock; said 1t unques-
tionably would run until Its parts
wore out. The last heard of it. It
had been sent as gift to the Chinese
emperor. from whom IL later was
stolen.
