From the Telephone Press Service.
 The Bell Telephone system during the year 1920 added new telephone plant and equipmett costing more than $124,OOO,oOo 10 it's existing faeil- hies. The cost of this added plant was greater than the total cost of all Bell telephone plant in service prior -o 1899. Approximately 80 per cent of the expenditures for the new IT nt md equipment comprised charges for materials and supplies EaornJus quantities of raw materials and fab ricated goods are consumed annually by the Bell system. For instance ap- proXimately 10000 tons of copper are used, or enough copper to form a wire one-balf inch in diameter long enough to circle the earth nine times at the equator. About 23,000, 900 board feet of lumber are used, or enough lumber to constract a board walk six feet wide from Boston to Philadelphia. Approximately 5000 tons of steel for miscelleanous ob- jects are used in addition to 10000 tons of galvanized iron and steel wire. Fifty thousand tons of lead are required, nearly all of which Is used In the manufacture of telephone cable. Five hundred tons of anti mony and $50 tons of tin must be im- ported from China, Japan and the Straits settlem ents Five thousand tons of brass rod aao sheet are used annually in the manufacture of tht telephone apparatus. Nearly 2O,000 tons of different grades of paper ere needed for use In the construction of cables, condensers anc the printllg of telephone directories. These Items are only part of the products which enter Into the intricate mechanism Q the telephone systeir. During recent year3 adequate supplies have been maintained with great difficulty. cue to severe storms, strikes, lack of ,uel, the shortage of transportation facili- ties and the shortage of productive labor.

" ACES
 PAID PACKERS
 STRIKE LOOMS
tBy United Press)


 Chicago, March 8.-Wages of 200,- GOO employees of packing plants were reduced approximately 12 1-2 per cent on basis of eight hours per day, when the packers today abolishsl the schedule of wages placed in effect during the war Notice that the re- duction is effective immediately was posted at all plants.
 Unions controlling organized labor in packing plants are now in session at Omaha to determine their course of action.
 Officials of Chicago packing houses differed today as to the outcome of the order. Some expressed a fear that a general strike at all packing plants would result. The general view, however, is that the scarcity of employment will keep the workers at their posts despite radically reduced wages.
 It is estimated that 30,000 employees of packing plants outside of Chicago are affected by the general order. Plants at Ohama, St. Louis, Kansas City, Indianapolis, St. Paul, St. Joseph, Sioux City and Fort Worth will slash their pay scales at the same rate set by the Chicago packers.

(By United Press,


 Ardmore, Okla, March 8.-Clara Smith, or Clara Smith Hamon, is pre- pairing to give the world the most sen- sational story of scandal since Evelyn Nesbit Thaw wrote her life's history into the New, York court records, it was learned here today.
 Clara, who goes to trial Thursday for staying Jake Hamon, wealthy pol itician, will withhold nothing of her sordid life from the jury, it is def- nitely understood. She will spare not even the most intimate details of her life with Hamon, in order that she may walk out of court free woman. This, it is learned from re- liable sources, is considered by the woman's attorneys as her only pos sible means of escape.
 The statement made by Hamon on his deathbed that he accidentally shot himself while cleaning his re- volver will not even be introduced by the defense, it is stated. Counsel for Clara Smith believe that this state ment would not stand, as the prose- cution has witnesses who will tell of the woman's confession that she killed Hamon during a lovers quar- rel in the hotel.

Paris, March 8.-Early this morn- ing long columns of French, British and Belgian soldiers, fully equipped for war time service, tramped oyer bridges and roads into the cities of Dusseldorf, Duisberg and Ruhrort. Allied mounted and unmounted artil- lery advanced on into the Ruhr val ley, Germanys richest mineral basin.
 German people along the line of march peered timidly from shuttered windows as the columns stepped brisk ly into the territory which will be held until Germany agrees to demands made by the allies for separations.
 General De Goutte of the French army has personal command of the allied troops in the occupied zone, being directly in touch with Marshal Foch and the supreme council. Gen. eral De Goutte was stationed on the German border as soon as it became possible that -reparation demands would not be accepted.
 Allied artillery marched at the head of the column of troops. The soldiers went forward with bayonets fixed for action, but no sign of resistance was visible. Not even stray shot was fired from the house tops.
