FACTS ABOUT THE TELEPHONE

Most of us are disposed to grumble now
and then about the telephone. Either be-
cause we consider the best telephone SER
vice in the world not good enough for us,
vice beyond human power to attain, or
for some other reason, or just no reason at
all, there is no habit more general in this
country than that of damning our tele-
phone service. 1t is barely possible that
if we knew more about what it means to
give telephone service in large city we
might be bit more tolerant of what we
consider defects of the system. And,
while not for moment wishing to convey
the impression that the system has no de-
fects or could not be greatly improved, we
believe it will be both interesting and
helpful to present to our readers the fol-
lowing facts prepared especially for The
Valve World by an official Of the tele-
phone company of Illinois:
Chicago has more than 6O5.0OO tele-
phones in use-one for each five persons
embracing a system furnishing universal
local service and facilities for long dis
tance communication to more than 12,7OO,-
900 telephones on the North American con-
tinent.
There are more telephones in Chicago
than there are on the continents of Asia,
Africa and South America taken together;
more than there are in France, Italy,
Spain, Greece, Portugal and Norway COM
bined.
If the calls made in Chicago in one day
were formed into one continuous call it
would consume 6,25OOOO minutes, or IL
years.
If the calls made in 1920 were formed
into one continuous call it would take about
1920 years to complete the conversation.
1t is estimated that in Chicago the use
of the telephone saves 2S,7s0,OO0,O0O min
utes daily.

brook bed was paved with these nuggets
But he was an honest man, and he told
no one of his find until he conferred with
Suffer. The two pooled their interests, but
the secret would not keep. Dozens came
and found gold, in other streams; the
placer beds were discovered; hundreds
came Then the news spread eastward,
and thousands rushed around the Horn,
across the Isthmus of Panama, over the
plains of North America, and the great
horde of gold-seekers, who carried with
them every workman, every Indian the
captain had on his place.
The crops rotted in the fields. The
gold-hunters killed and ate the cattle, or
stole and rode the horses No help could
be obtained, and, worse than the rest, the
goldseekers lured away the Indians, who
had paid no attention to the finding of
the gold, with whisky, so that Sutter could
get no help from them. In few months,
he who had been the richest man in the
West faced bankruptcy. Gathering to-
gether his few belongings, and leading
the half hundred Indians who had re-
mained true to him in spite of the white
mems whisky, he went to Mormon Island
but, crowded out there, he moved again
to the upper reaches of Suffers Creek, but
the Argonauts followed him there, and,
finally, he fed to Hook Farm, on the river,
and from there went East shortly after
ward and died.
The story of Sacramento is continual
tion of the story of Suffers Fort. The first
survey was made in 1S4S by Captain
William H. Warner, U. S. A., and, in
1S49, the citizens of the new town cele-
brated the Fourth of July in a grove of
oak trees where the capitol building now
stands. Sacramento then started the
growth which has given it nearly 10000
inhabitants.

The combined sins of the world reached
up and slew the Lamb of God
Wars are brewed in crafty kings coun-
cils and stubborn senates, not by soldiers
While we curse war, therefore, and
those hell-taught politicians that will not
let the world rid itself of war, we honor
the splendid youth who threw their bodies
in the breach of the worlds misgovern-
ment, and gave their lives that ideals
might live.
Americas soul never reached higher
flame nor whiteness than the day her mil
lions of youth obeyed the call for the
Draft, and with negligible exceptions
dropped the pursuits of life to go upon
quest of death.
On this Memorial Day we honor them
with flowers and high praise; but most
will we honor them if with every votive
rose we give prayer that the effort of
all constructive statesman may prosper
who plan that war shall cease.-Selected.

MEMORIAL DAY

Decoration Day, or Memorial Day, is
day set apart at the end of the month OF
May in the United States of America as
holy day for the commemoration of the
soldier dead.
The soldier dead are more worthy OF
honor than others because their business
was to die. While the merchant and
worker, the teacher and engineer, minister
to the common good by their lives, the SOL
dier contributes to the welfare of the State
by offering himself to die.
The supreme gift is life.
"Greater love-" it is written, "hath no
man than this, that a man lay down his
life for his friend"
The supreme fear is death.
1t is the severest penalty the law can
lnAict.
Life and death are the most meaningful
words of human speech.
They are the twin peaks of destiny.
The belief in life is deepest of all be-
liefs.
The scorn or misprisal of life is the
most damnable of all heresies.
The only thing larger than life is the
ideal; for men surrender life for ideals;
while for comforts and luxuries and all
the shining prizes of fortune and fame, no
matter how much the cynics say we wor-
ship them, no man would die.
We only live for the material; and the
superiority of the spiritual, the ideal, is
shown by this, we will die for it.
The soldier then represents the best in
us. For he is humanity's volunteer for the
ideal
War is wicked and stupid, the penalty
of our backwardness is government; but
soldiers do not cause wars; they are the
victims of war; and they are the noblest
among us; as always our vilest sins de-
mand the sacrifice of our hoiest saviors

to kaki uniforms last year? In what
month and on what day?-W. r. C.
A:-Monday and Tuesday, May 1924,
Q:-What is spirituaism?-L. F. H.
A:-Spiritualism is founded upon the
belief that the living can, and actually do,
communicate with the spirits of the de-
parted. Spiritualists claim that the move
ment is the outcome of "New Revela-
tion," of divine origin, but opponents de-
clare that, while the movement is distinct
ly mOOern, the essential features are
probably as old as the human race. They
are first found, according to one authority,
as necromancy, or the evocation of the
spirits of the departed for the purpose of
divination practised in all ages and rather
considerably, but especially among pagan
peoples. Another opponent says that
"however sudden may have been the rise
of modern Spritualism, it cannot be said
to have sprung into being on unprepared
soil, for its way had been broken by
Swedenborgianism and Mesmerism, which
may be said to have been its direct fore
runners" Other opponents claim that
hypnotism, magnetism and mind-reading
are practised by protesting spiritualistic
mediums, tall these charges are denied
by such emient Spiritualists as Sir Oliver
Lodge, Sir Conan Doyle and others.

Princeton Men Are Not
Enthusiastic OUer CHANGES.

special DtSputcb 10 IHB NEW York HERALD.
PRINCETON. N. j., March 13.-several
prominent football men of Princeton
University. including Assistant Coach
Nelson Poo, Don. Lourie, all-American
quarterback: Ralph Glroy. captain
elect, and AL. Wittmer, center, expressed
their opinions concerning the new foot
ball rulings made by the Football Rules
Committee last Saturday None of them
seemed enthusiastic, Lourie and Gilroy
actually condemning the new method of
gaining the extra point after the touch
down.
1T is no longer one man play, but
must be executed by the entire team
said Poe. This no doubt will tend to
develop a scoring play from the five
yard line. IL the teams had sure drop
kicker they would probably take a
chance of making point in that way
instead of trying to score by running
play or a forward pass. In this case
strong defense will no doubt be de-
veloped. Although everything is un-
certain the rule will surely add interest
to the game, and the extra point will
be much harder to get than under the
old ruling. Regarding the shift play. |
believe the palmer definition will clarity
matters. However. IL eliminates Prince
toms flying end play as the end will
be too far back to clip his man"
Lourie condemned the new play after
the touchdown as follows: Although |
believe It will tend TO open up the play
and give a chance for many trick plays,
nevertheless the team win not have the
few minutes rest which they will need
after fighting so hard for the touch
down"
According to Gilroy, the new method
of scoring will not prove a good cri-
terion OF the merits of the two teams.
1T will tend to make this one scrim-
mage the toughest of the game and
many injuries will result" he said. The
rule forcing men to come to dead
stop will put a check on shift plays.
Princeton's crashing end play has now
been dropped from the teams reper-
toire. Wittmer believes that the new
rulings will not affect the game TO any
extent THE same Importance will be
attached TO having a good kicker as
formerly. He will be hurried somewhat,
but that is all "

Special Dispatch to THE New YoRK HERALD
{. MIAMI, Fla, March 13.-The harbor is
