What "They're'

Irish Crochet
Lace NecklDear

TIME fashionable Spring
neckwear fairly effer-
vesces with handsome
la e-sometimes several
kinds combined in a single
collar.
To none of these richly
effective laces does the in
dex finger of Fashion point
so authoritatively as to the
Irish crochet, in many eyes
the most beautiful, and GER
tainly the most easily laun-
dered, of all the real laces.
In the new neckwear the
lace is often used alone, but
delightfully."- dainty cornbin-
ations of the Irish crochet
with the FINE net are almost
as popular. The collars are
in many new and good
shapes, and prices so from
81 TO $40.
These new Irish crochet
lace neckpieces are hard to
find in most places, they
say; but we have a good
variety.
Filet lace collars, in many
new and practical styles are
81 to Sl2.s0.
Then, as just said. the en-
thusiasm for lace has also
produced some elaborate
and very lovely combin-
ations in a single neckpiece
of valcnciennes, Irish and
cluny; or again, of filet.
Irish, Venise and vaien-
ciennes. Round collars in
these are $40 TO $40.

One Of the reasons-the
biggest why the
United States Rubber
Company began its en-
larged production of cord
tires was because it realized
that cord tires could be
made to deliver more miles
not only on the average
but all the time.
This company has spent more
money than any other tire con-
Germ on earth in making its Cord
Tires uniform.
And by uniformity is meant
not taking the exceptional tire
and trying to find out what made
it exceptional, but building every
tire you build to the highest
standards of quality.

The New York World is author
ity for the statement that the
largest income tax paid in 1917
was 1896, 604. This sum was
paid by single man." and the
World assumes that it was paid
by John D. Rockefeller who, for
income tax purposes, is regarded
as a single man though in fact he
is widower.
Since the total tax on an In
come the size of Mr.. Rockefeller s
is about so per cent, it follows
that the income upon which this
tax was paid was about $70,O0O,-
900. This means that if Mr.. Rock
efe'ler's investments net him five
per cent, he is worth one billion,
400 million dollars. That is some
what lower than New York esti-
mates of his fortune usually run.
Two billions is generally the esti-
mate of the Rockefeller fortune.

CAL POWER IN G.. o. p, Is
NO MORE.

I Dalton, Mass, Oct. Wv. Muir
ray Crane, former United States
Senator and for years a power IN
the Republican party, died early
today at Sugar HILL" the fam
lily home.
The end came quietly, after
four days of heavy sleep, almost
Inconsistencies. The sleeping
sickness had set in after an illness
of several months. and it was this
which Immediately preceded
death. the actual cause of which
was said by his physicians to be
encephalitis, an inflammation OF
the brain.
National politics were closely
connected with the illness. which
was precursor of the end. The
senator, who had been national
committeeman Of the Republican
party in Massachusetts for years,
announced his retirement before
the national convention, but went
to Chicago to make fight for Re-
publican endorsement of the
League of Nations.
His health was not good, but
those associated with him said to-
day that he decided to make what
would probably be his last fight
in politics for the issue that lay
close to his heart. He returned
from Chicago further impaired
in health.
He emerged from semi-retire-
ment next to attend the exercises
at Northampton July q, the
formal notification to Governor
Coolidge, his longtime friends. of

dency. His health was not equal
to the double exactions of tor
rid sun and the fatigue caused by
long standing, and he suffered a
collapse.

The Facts of the Telephone
Situation i'm Louisiana
Why Telephone Material Is So Scarce
BIZ J. EPPs Brown, President
CUMBERLAND TELEPHONE & TELEGRAPH COMPANY
incorporated

This was true even during the period
when the Government was in possession
and control of the telephone properties Of
this country.
The greater part of the available tele-
phone equipment and materials was sent to
France, none of which was ever returned.
On August LIST, 1919, when the telephone
properties were returned to the owners by
the United States Government, the avail
able supply Of equipment and material was
so small and the needs of the telephone
companies In this country so great, that all
the telephone factories in the United States,
working day and night, could not within
three years have furnished the equipment
and materials necessary to restore the IA
c1ities to the pre-war status.
The equipment and material required by
this Company to complete its 1920 con-
struction program, viii equal 1,400 car
loads OF freight, averaging 10000 pounds
to the car, hauled from different parts of
this country and delivered at hundreds Of
places in the five states in which the Com
pany operates. This is equal to thirty-fve
trains Of an average Of forty cars per train,
or $4,000 tons Of materials.
Every business man knows what this
means.
Freight shipments from the industrial
centers of the North and East ordinarily
were delivered within two or three weeks;
now q much longer time Is required.
The Western Electric Company is the
largest manufacturer Of telephone eqRip-
rnent and materials in the world. It has
representatives in all the markets of the
world. It buys its raw materials in vast
quantities at the lowest possible prices.
The Western Electric Company furnishes
this Company with the bulk Of it's equip
ment and materials and acts as our Supply
Agent
It did not accept any contracts from any
foreign government prior to the date the
United States entered the war and only
than at the instance of the United States
Government. It thus held itself in readi-
ness to serve at its maximum efficiency the
needs of the telephone industry in this
country.
It has capacity for a much larger out
put, but strikes, shortage of productive la
Dor, lack of fuel and shortage of transpor-
tation, facilities affecting the securing Of
adequate raw materials-has curtailed its
output.
We have not relied entirely on the West
ern Electric Company, but have placed or
ders with other manufacturers where they
could promise deliveries. Each manufac-
turer with whom we have placed orders is
confronted with the same problems in Sc
curing his supply of raw materials.
In the face Of all these difficulties the
manufacturers are turning out in excess Of
what was their normal output.
New Iberia enterprise and independent observer. (New Iberia, La.) 1902-1944, 1920-10-09

The telephone material supply situation
Is always one Of factory capacity, labor,
raw materials and transportation.
Prior TO August, 1914, the supply Of raw
snaterials; the manufactured output; labor
and transportation, was adequate. AS q
result prices were low and deliveries
prompt.
From June, 1915, to April, 1917, (when
this country entered the war; prices aver
aged an advance Of nearly 100 per cent and
deliveries became intolefahly slow.
Raw materials for telephone purposes are
obtained from ell parts Of the world.
from Russia.
1 Sill, used in vast quantities for insulat-
ing wires, comes from Japan.
Old MANILA rope, used In making paper
for insulating wires In cables, comes from
che wharves Of the world.
Diamonds, used in drawing out fine wire
for use In switchbosrds, came from Europe.
Many other illustrations could be given.
These foreign sources Of raw materials
supply were eliminated during the period
of the European war and are now far be-
low normal.
Lead, copper, iron and tin, used in large
quantities in the manufacture Of telephone
equipment and materials, are also essential
for the making of munitions. The war
greatly reduced the available amount OF
raw materials and lessened the telephone
manufacturers production.
Strikes in industrial centers which FUR.
nished the raw materials, and strikes and
embargoes on railroads essential to trans
portation Of both raw materials and the fin
ished products, are prime factors in the
present shortage in telephone materials and
facilities.
The factories of our suppliers have ca
pacity for much larger output, but strikes,
shortage Of productive labor, lack OF fuel,
shortage of transportation facilities and
embargoes affecting the sources OF raw ma
terials, have greatly interfered with their
possible output.
Today, with prices higher than war
prices, the demand greater than ever
known, current production is far lass than
the demand, being approximately 40 per
cent below the average, with deliveries slow
and uncertain.
In the face of this condition the demand
for telephone service has increased and con-
tinues to increase enormously.
To meet this demand all available sur
plus facilities and materials were gradual
~ but constantly put into use.
When the United States entered the war
in 1917, the Government needs were, OF
course, given precedence and only small
part Of the available raw materials manu-
featured from that date until the signing
of the armistice was allotted to telephone
companies.
