TELEPHONE CABLES CARRY EQUIVALENT
 OF A POLE LINES

As all roads once led to Rome, so all the telephone circuits eventually reach the central office switchboard In the large commercial Centers all the telephone wires are now placed in underground cables Previous to the development of underground transmission the pole lines in the larger cities carrying many cross arms and circuits grew too cumbcr- some for the streets. A pole line on West street in New York City carry ing the New England circuits had poles 90 feet high, each with 30 cross arms, supporting 300 circuits
 At suitable distances along the telephone subways there are openings known as 1'manholcs" where the cables are drawn into the ducts and withdrawn for repairs. The under ground cables vary in size and in the number Of telephone circuits they carry.
 Developments in underground transmission have enabled the tele- phone engineers to use smaller gage wires and more circuits without in crcasing the size of the cables and the largest size cables in use have di- amctcr of 5-8 inches and carry 2,424 wires, which is as many as 24 separate pole lines each with 10 cross arms would carry

PHONE MEN CUT
 ACCIDENT TOLLS THROUGH COUNTRY

The death toll of industrial acci- dents in the United States is more than 1000 persons annually, accord ing to compilation of statistics by tine American Red Cross, based on reports by state departments of labor and other authoritative sources. This survey further shows that during 1919 there were throughout the country 3,4oo,ooo disabilities due to accidents Tn occupations, or an average Ot II,oOO d day. During that year more than 08O,ooO men were laid up for more than four weeks from industrial acci- dents.
 The American Telephone & Tele- graph Company and its associated companies have been quick to recog- land first aid instruction and annual in dealing with this serious industrial problem.
 Although some of the work which telephone men do is necessarily haz- ardous, the percentage of serious acci- dents IS remarkably small and Is de- .creasing year by year.
 As illustrative of the results which may be attained through accident prevention campaigns the following report of the success of this work in Philadelphia, where recent frst-aid competition attracted a crowd that filled one of the largest arnories, IS of interest:
 Under the rules the forces are rated in accordance with the reduc- ton in disability days per 100 em- ployes compared with their own rec ord for the three years preceding Four of the forces came through the year with 100 per cent. records, hay ing no lost time from accidents.
 Trenton had no disability accidents from September, 1918, to the end of 1920, period of 27 months, with an average of I3o men, or over 87,73o working days. The combined record of the four groups with no lost time from accidents up to the end of 1920, approNimates a total of I73,55o work ing days, the comparative record of the Philadelphia division being as follows:

tions required in the case of those coun- tries, can only be definitely envisaged during the course of the conference.
 Both draft conventions e1nbody the same principle, that of a weekly rest of determined by the customs or traditions ot the country or district, such rest be- ing Ill each case granted as far as possi- Die to all employees at the same time.
 The drawing up of separate regulations for industry and for commerce permits of better definition of the distinctive characteristics of the undertakings, and the types of work for which exemption may be authorized; 1t allows them to be more deadily co-ordinated according to the type of exemption applicable to them. Both drafts reserve to the competent authorities of the various governments the task of preparing, after consultation with employers or workers organizations concerned, the list of undertakings and the class Ot work tor which exemption could be admitted, to a rule regarding weekly rest. The same authorities are empowered to fix in each case the limits to the exceptions and the particular method of compensation to be applied for work done on the weekly day ot rest
 In each country the competent author ity will have to decide on the cases i'll which the granting of the rest to all employees at the same time entails in Conveniences and, i'll collaboration with employers and workers organizations, will prescribe the system of rest most likely to reconcile the interests affected.

SALES TAX NOT DEAD.
 IS ONLY SLEEPING

Washington, Oct 2S.-Advocates of the sales tax are conducting a vigorous campaign for this scheme, although little noise is being made They are worried over terms, and fear that the term "consumers' tax will become popular They are calling the sales tax manufacturers tax This has soothing sound, Contrary to human nature, business men are demanding this tax
 Another peculiar situation in this connection is the demand of big business that the excess profits tax be removed. These business men do with their claim that they are only interested in flair" profit, while in sisting on the removal of a tax that does not operate until profits become excessive

RAILROADS ROB
 U. S., SAYS DAWES

Brig. Gen. Charles c. Dawes, director of the bureau of the budget, has uncovered a new lead i'll the crusade to reduce government expenses, cut out the waste and establish eff1c- icncy methods. He finds that the railroads are robbing Uncle Sam of thousands of dollars, perhaps millions, annually through wrong classification of shipments and roundabout routings to destination.
 A survey of this situation has been made by R. C. Caples, an expert, and he finds that a great saving of government funds can be effected provided a guard is placed upon the railroads. MT. CaplcS does not state in the re- port given out the exact amount of these stealings annually, but intimates that the figures are large, because the governments transportation bill each year is in excess of $2oo,ooo, ,ooo
 "Under the present system" Say NSHC1ctI DdWCo, tllC NIdSol- fCation committee of the rail roads is specifying rates appli- cable to thousands of articles listed in the various classifca- tions have given the govern ment little or no consideration as to the volume or nature of it's business.

COSTS STAND, HAVE NOT LOWERED
 IN PAST 6 MONTHS

Washington, Oct. 28.-Food prices have been practically stationary from May, 1921, to September, 1921, ac- cording to the United States bureau of labor statistics.
 Although the price paid to farmers has been battered down, these reduc- tions are not shown by reports from 33 leading cities of the country which report that the decrease in food prices averaged I.7 per cent throughout the country This is but fraction over IH cents for every dollar expended for food
 These figures, covering period when butter, eggs, hens, fruit and egetables should be cheapest, are a complete denial of the claim of low wage advocates that food costs are being reduced.

CONDEMN HIGH PRICED STOCK
FOODS.
Prominent Hog Raiser Says Prices
Charged Are Unwarranted-
Makes His Own Hog Food,
With Better Results.

"That he is all through paying
fancy prices for stock foods and hog
remedies and that he is raising some
of the best hogs ever placed on the
market" was the statement made re-
Gently by E. H. Beckstad, well-kno wr
hog raiser and authority on live
stock.
Mr. Beckstad's hogs are the envy
of his neighbors, and have topped
the market" for several years in
Iowa. He states that for years he
bought high-priced hog foods and
hog remedies, but he is all through
paying extravagant prices for what
he can make himself. He states that
what the hogs need are minerals, and
tells the secret of his wonderful sue
cess by explaining that he takes
about five pounds of ordinary miner
aline (which is pure concentrated
minerals and cost only a couple of
dollars) and mixes same with enough
bran or filler to make a hundred
pounds. All hogs, and especially
brood sows require minerals as they
keep them free from worms, and in
the pink of condition, and are es-
sential to the hogs growth and a
well balanced ration. This ineXpen-
sive mixture placed in sheltered
box where the hogs can get at it
as they need it, will produce far bet
ter results than any high priced So
called stock foods.

Chemical Co., 1888 North Wells ST.,

you by prepaid parcel post, enough
mineraline to make full hundred
