TELEPHONES WILL,
 CALL STATIONS

New York, July 19.-'Loud speaking. telephones are soon to give New York subway riders relief from the inarticulate sounds emanating from guards in an- nouncing subway stations.
 The telephone instrument, which is to be installed on the Brooklyn lines, will not only be employed to announce sta- tions, but will be used for such warn- ings as Watch your steps*" ''Step lively, please*" etc.
 The phone is operated by the conductor or guard at the center of the car, who speaks in an increased volume at each end. The phone is also audible on the car platforms.
 Loud speaking receivers are installed in the ceilings of the cars near the doors and are hardly visible. The openings are about eight inches in diameter, but are screened and painted the same color as the ceiling.
 The phone operator is provided with a high efficiency transmitter which is small and can be carried around in the pocket or held in the hand. It has a cord similar to that on a regular rele- phone and connection is made with the telephone system by plugging in"

S1,3OO,OOO WORTH
 WAR MATERIAL |S
 GIVEN ID ALABAMA
More Than Million Dollars Worth of Trucks Are Con- tributed for Work
 on Roads

Washington, July 1.-(Special )-Ala- bama has received from the war depart ment war material valued at more than s1 300 900 to be used in the road building work of the state.
 This statement is contained in a letter from W. s. Keller, state highway en- gireer, to pr. Clarence J. Owens, direc- tor general of the Southern Commercial Congress.
 War material suitable for road building purposes is being allotted to the several states under a provision framed by Dr. Owens and introduced in the Senate by the late Senator Bankhead of Alabama as a rider to the postoffice appropriation bill of 1919. At the same time, Dr. Owen presented the matter to each of the forty-eight state governors who gave hearty indorsement, and with this concert of demand the measure passed without opposition.
 In his letter to Dr. Owens, MT. Keller says:
 "Our superintendent of equipment, within the past few days, has tabulated and made an estimate of the materials received, which is as follows:
 Trucks and parts, $1,152,6 ,63S; autos and parts, $29. .325; wagons, carts and harness, s3S, TAO; engineering machinery and tools, S76 902; engineering instruments and sup plies, s1 ,7S6; cast iron pipes, $S3,5O3 Total, $, ,323, ,S94.
 "We have allotted to the counties so far 14e trucks, and will allot an addi- tional number as the trucks are put in working condition.
 .Automobiles and ambulances are being used by the engineering parties in the field.
 "An the material received Is of great value and will aid materially in the con- struction of our system of roads,"
 The vital assistance given the good roads movement throughout the country by this distribution of hundreds of mil lions of dollars worth of war materials is but one phase of gigantic programme of constructive statesnanship, carefully planned and steadily carried forward dur ing the past ten years by the Southern Commercial Congress under the direction of Dr. Owens.
 At the beginning of this campaign the main theme of agricultural reorganization was divided under four heads-financial, distribution, production and organization. Under the subdivision of finance much of minor importance has been accomp- lfshed by the great service rendered the agricultural interests of the country, un- der this head is the federal farm loan act entire credit for which is given to

 He came in not wisely, but too fast. He entered in a long leap through a easement window and landed exactly in the center of the newly vanished dining room floor.
 Some dogs would have been irritated by the discovery that their legs could not be lifted from the place beneath But Rufus is patient animal He merely lay down and rolled over his long hair becoming enamelled with varnish as he rolled.
 One of the Strange artisans who oc- cupied the house came in, and address ing Rufus in harsh terms observed that he had done a hundred dollars worth of damage, for which somebody would have to pay. But Rufus was un- troubled. He was we'll aware of his finicial Responsibility.
 After he got back into the yard he adhered to everything he touched like magnet adheres to steel shavings And he touched great many things till at last he was carrying about a coating of debris that practically ob- liberated his idenity as dog. I kept away from him. I could see that my aloofness was breaking his heart but I was firm.
 Inquiry through the re-barrieaded door of the kitchen elicia the in for nation that the inmate didn't know where the family was or when they were coming back. There was a fur ther intimation that when they did come back, if ever they would have to go out and look for a new cook.
 Again I toured the house seeking for something familiar but seeking in vain. Painters, paper hangers and Varnlshers had descended on the place like grass-hoppers and they were inst as destructive.

Hiding the Nations Finances

BLACK TROOPS USED
 TO SUBDUE TURKS

Constantinople, July !.--Black troops, many of them Senegalese, have been used by the French in their joint occu- patton of this city. The Senegalese wear bright green uniforms and red fezes. Their faces are decorated with scares across the cheeks and about the eyes. They usually wear large rings in the ears and many of them have straggly boards cut to a point on the chin. Although the Senegalese are Moslems, they get on badly with the Turks, especially in the interior, where much of the feeling against the French is traceable to the black troops.

Under the subdivision, distribution Dr. Owens directed an exhaustive survey of the trinity of transportation-railwa waterways and highways. Incident to this work Dr. Owens wrote an amendment to the postoffice appropriation bill of 1915 making provision for a fund to carry on experiments in the postoffice department in shipping farm produce from producer to consumer direct. niggardly s1O,0VO was appropriated, but it was sufficient to demonstrate a saving of more than 43 per cent to the consumer by this direct method of purchase, and delivery by post Within year handling this class of par cells post had grown to such an extent as to require practically the entire time of the office of the fourth assistant post master general.
 Going steadily forward in handling the problem of distribution, Dr. Owens in- itlated the movement to aIlot suitable war material for road work in the sev- eral states, and wrote Section of the 1919 nostoffice appropriation bill, under which distribution is being made, and under which Alabama has received more than $1,Soo,ooo valuable and useful equipment.
