CHICAGO STUDENTS
ACT AS DETECTIVES

Chicago, Feb. S.--"Snitchers" are
used in Chicago schools to aid
espionage.
This became known when Peter A.
Mortenson, superintendent of the
board of education, indicated that
pupils may be depended upon to re.
port upon the conduct of others and
tbat the practice is not discouraged.
Loyal" students notice the short
comings of their classmates and
keep instructors well informed re-
garding any feature deemed obiec-
tlonable in such conduct he said.
Students Of this type were respon-
sible for the recent dismissal OF two
students from high school. These
students also report on the conduct
OF young student couples who go
auto riding and visit caberets.

TELEPHONE HUNCH
is WORTH READING
BY CLYDE A. BEALs

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
London, Feb. S.If you lisp, don't
order your dinner by telephone.
You can't get soup, nor sugar, and
after you've managed to get your
pork and beans and you ask what
the bill is, and the waiter says: "Five
dollars you're apt to think he said
mine"
The telephone, ths~t is to say, being
an imperfect instrument. sometimes
lies That, in effect, is the charge
against the telephone made by DR..
John Ambrose Fleming, Professor OF
Electrical Engineering of the Uni
versity OF London, in lecture here
before the Royal Institution.
But that is only part Of the charge.
The professor furnished fine alibi
for husbands away from home who
happen to telephone by long distance
to their wives while not qu;se in the
condition they should be. Some OF
the words actually die ont on the
line. That, of course. may not be
misfortune. But worse, the words do,
not always even come ont in the
same order in which they are
spoken! Sometimes they playfully
leap over one another
Telephones also have bad habit,
the professor says, of turning "fives'
into mines" S, also, is very diff.
ficult for the best of telephones. Edi-
son, according to DR.. Fleming. spent
a month trying to make machine
say sugar, and the machine wouldn't.
And as far as efficiency goes, the
telephone doesn't earn its salt.
THE ordinary electric lamp" said
DR.. Fleming, gives out ten per cent
Of its energy as light, but the tele-
phone only gives out as sound
thousandth part Of the energy that
is put into it."
