yORN-CCB PIPE HUNT IN PARIS
 UNSUCCESSFUL

Paris, Dec 3-There is not a corn cob pipe in all Paris. In fact it is doubtful if such a thing is to be found in the whole of France, which discovery has just been made by w. D. Clarke. of the transportation de- partment of the American Red Cross. Recently MT. Clarke, who is a former army officer, was given the precar1ous duty of filling the chairmanship of the entertainment committee of Paris Post. No. 1, American Legion. To make good he decided his first ven ture would be a. Post smoker, and to further enhance his reputation with the veterans of the war he decided to v!ding the thousand members with corn cob pipes.
 With visions of smoke wreaths curling gracefully from the home like bowls of 1000 corn cobs the Red Cross man started out to purchase them. From one tobacconist to another the hunt led him. from the Latin Quarter to the heights of Mont marte and along the boulevards he wandered fruitlessly. Pipes there were in plenty, English piles and French pipes, meerschaum and briar, pipes of amber stems and pipes of bone and rubber stems, but not a sin gle old cob to give promise Of strength and aroma in the days to come. Pipes" said the tobacconists,
 
 for the cattle. Jamais for the smoker"
 Sadly MT. Clarke returned to the Red Cross. Not a. corn cob pipe in France and his visions of a successful smoker faded. Then when all seem- ed lost he remembered that some where in one of the Red Cross ware houses there were corn cobs of American make which had been sent over for the joy or the American T, ce,f iro he was doomed to disappointment for the pipes had been shipped to Con etantinople along with a lot of other supplies for the use of the Russian refugees whom the Red Cross main tains on the Island of Proti. But the Red Cross made good in another line, for with the same Solfcftude it had for the men while soldiers it con- tinued it for them in civil life, the result being that sufficient American cigarettes were shipped to post head quarters and the smoker was a suc- cess.

SAVING WASTE PAPER

Salvation Army through its Industrial
Homes is making Il strenuous effort
to turn back to the paper mills more
paper even than il has done in the
past.
In DallaS, Galveston. Fort Worth,

large city IN the United States, the
Salvation Army is salvaging waste
paper and is returning tn the paper
mills more than 10000 tons Of waste
paper each year. During the pas,
ten years the Army's "harvestcrs"
have turned back to the paper mills
for c-manufacturing more than s5O.-
600 tons of waste paper, Of this
amount more than 1917 tons were col
lccted last year by the Industrial
Homes in the southwest. This would
otherwise have become "a total loss.
In effecting this saving, the Saliva
tion Army has not only accomplished
a saving for the publishers, but it has
accomplished a saving for humanity
by putting thousands of "derelicts"
back on their feet again and start
ed them on the road to success
where instead of being tax consumers
they have become tax payers and

IS AFTER THE
TELEPHONE co.
OKLAHOMA CORPORATION COM.
MISSION HOT ONE TO SOUTH.
WESTERN TELEPHONE co.

In response to general complaint all
over the state concerning the poor
service rendered by the Southwestern
Telephone the State Corporation Com.
mission has taken the matter up and
has sent the Telephone Company the
following communication. Appar-
emily it's the Telephone Company's
next move, but 1.-THE mills of the
gods grind slowly.
Mr.. John NJ. Noble. General Manager
Southwestern Bell Telephone Co..
Oklahoma City. Oklahoma.
Dear Sir:
One of the most important factors
to be considered in making rates for
Public Utilities is the adequacy of the
service rendered. A public utility
company is entitled to a fair return
on the capital invested for rendering
an adequate service. 1t is entitled
to higher rate of return for a su-
perior service. The public demand;
adequate service and is willing TO pay
an adequate return for it; but it pre-
fers superior service and is willing
to pay superior price.
The service rendered by your COM
pany for some time has not been ade-
quate. That which it is rendering
now is but an apology for any service
at all. It is, in fact a disservicc, for
your company is monopolizing fran
chise rights to the exclusion of
others.
This commission has understood
and sympathized with the problems
which you were confronted when and
since your properties were returned
to you by the Government. It is fully
informed about the increased cost of
materials and knows about the labor
situation. Its familiarity with these
conditions is what governed it's ac-
tion in allowing you to continue
most of the war time rates establish
ed by the Government which you
still enjoy.
But you have not responded with
the improved and adequate service
which you engaged to render in con-
sideratiOn for these increased rates.
In fact, the service has steadily de-
preciated in the ratio that it should
have appreciated until now it has de-
scended below the level of that term.
The situation has passed beyond the
pale of tolerance. Immediate palp-
able improvement is imperative and
must be made. Performance and cx-
ecution will now be required. Prom
ises and excuses will no longer avail
The public does not want your ser
vice for less than it is worth; nor
is it willing to pay for service it
does not receive.
Therefore, unless the service which
the public demands, which modern
conditions require, and for which you
are receiving remuneration is immcd-
lately inauguratcd, you will be cited
to appear before this Commission to
show cause, if any there be. why your
