Alexander Graham Bell

The death of Alexander Grham Bell, inventor
of the telephone, presses to the forefront the
value of the invention for which he has earned
high place among the great inventors of the
world. Had he lived four years more, he would
have seen the world celebrate the fiftieth ami
versary of his invention.
What would our civilization be without the
telephone? We accept the products of the in
ventive genius in such a matter of fact way,
and we make such constant use of them, that
we seldom stop to think that three and four
decades ago the world knew nothing of them.
The telephone has become one Of the great
est agencies for rapid communication which the
world has ever seen. The modern business world
depends upon it. Cripple the telephone service
for a few days, and business an industry be-
come demoralized. Let the intercommunicating
telephone systems of great industrial or mer-
camille establishment be removed and their
whole systems would have to be revamped and
re-organized on basis that would cost thous-
ands of dollars.
Even our home life depends upon the tele-
phone for its ordered routine and for the COM
fort and convenience which this utility gives to
the members of the family.
It would be a strange world, if all telephone
communication would be removed. The loss of
the utility would be bitterly felt, and the re-
sulting inconvenience would be hard to measure.
When Bell first announced his invention, he
suffered the mockery of many critics. His was
the usual fate of an inventor. He was pressed
for finances. But he never faltered or was
dismayed. The triumph of his fortitude and
persistence is the marvellous telephone system of
today, bringing to him not only wealth but also
recognition as one of the greatest inventors of
his age. He lived to enjoy the fruits of his
work, and while he developed many other
devices, none is linked so prominently with his
name as that of the telephone.

BY FREDERICK ]. HAsKIN

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. T.
Chain letters are attracting attention
just now. A good luck chain letter
which the recipient is supposed to
copy nine times and mail TO nine other
people has brought in some indignant
communications to the post office de-
partment.
This particular letter, which is to
go three times around the world"
forming a good luck chain. is typical.
1t says that great happiness will come
to you in nine days if you will mail
nine copies within "a hours. If you
don't you will surely be a victim of
bad luck, and stress is particularly
laid on the misfortune which awaits
anyone who breaks the chain. In
fact, the promise of happiness is given
in about 10 words All of the rest of
the para graph to be copied is used to
put a superstitious fear into the re-
ceiver of the letter, to force him to
continue the chain.
The restriction of only two days
grace in which to forward the letters
is a psychological touch. If no time
limit or a distant date were set, the
individual would be apt TO forget all

Why Take Difficult Courses in School?

we often hear persons wonder whether the
time which is devoted to some subjects in our
school is worth while. Why devote so much time
to history or to the language? some one may
ask VIII they help the boy or girl earn his
living?
The questions cannot be answered offhand,
or without knowing the ability of the boy or girl
The best general answer to the questions prob
ably is: What we study is not so important as
the way in which we study and the use to which
we put our knowledge.
One boy may study history and see in it only
mass of figures and an account of races and
civilizations that flourished and decayed. An
other boy may see in the rise and fall Of great
race causes and principles that may undermine
the stability of modern civilization. The causes
that made Rome powerful and then brought
about her ruin may be of inestimable value to
him in appraising dangers to our own common
wealth
The study of languages may mean only n
drill in grammar to one girl, but to another it may
be an incentive to study the customs, manners
and thought of foreign people.
Mathematics has come in for its share of
criticism. But no one will deny that mathemat-
les teaches consistent thinking and drives home
the value of accuracy more than any subject the
pupil can undertake to master.
The impression is rapidly becoming fixed in
the minds of many that modern boys and girls
shun the discipline involved in mastering diff
cult subjects, preferring snap courses and choos-
ing electives in which little study is required
They condemn the study of languages, mathe-
MATES and history, for instance, because these
subjects require application and diligent perus-
al of text books.
Therein they make a great mistake. The
very necessity of being compelled to dig for
facts, to memorize dates and formulas is of in

The Chain Letter Epidemic
Good Luck Chain Letters Cause Many Indignant Com
muncations to be Sent to Post Office.

about the affair. Also, by fixing the
number of copies at nine there is a
good chance of advancing the chain
surely and rapidly. People would
grow disguised and revolt if too much
work were required.
Copies of this letter, which seems to
be broadcast all over the country,
have reached some interpretations
persons and they seized pen or type
writer to demand why the post office
should allow such matter to clog the
mails One writer was indignant that
such things should come to him dis
guised as legitimate corresp ondence.
Whether he thinks the post office de
partment should open al of his mail
or use an X-rav or an ouija board in
order to extract the annoying chain
letters is not certain. It is certain
that the post office cannot distinguish
a good luck chain letter sent first
class from any other mail and il does
not try.
There is a section of the penal code
making it unlawful to send through
the mails matter having a threat ex-
pressed on the outside. When chain
letters containing any threat are
mailed on postal cards they are with
drawn by the postmaster and not de-
Iivered. What kind of luck the send
er has coming 10 him in that event
would be interesting to know The
magic chain is certainly damaged, il
not broken.
But when the good luck communica-
tons are sent as first class matter
the post office delivers them like any
other mail The originator of the let
| ter remains anonymous so that action
is practically impossible. The ONLY
cure for the lucky chain letter cpl
demic rests with the public. If peo-
! pie refuse to cooperate, the project
cannot spread.

Two held tickets for lower berths,
while the third had bought an upper.

The first two talked the circum-

Charity Chain Letters
Usually Frauds
The chain scheme has been applied
to charitable purposes Organizations
of high standing write to thu post
office TO know whether they may
letters. Each person would be asked
to contribute, perhaps, 10 cents and
copy the letter FIVE times. In other
| cases the charitable organization ex-
lists only in the mind of the writer.
The charitable chain letter asking for
few cents seems an easy way to get
rich quick
In one instance a political party
wrote to know whether it could raise
| campaign funds by a chain letter car
! rylng request for 25 cents and the
mailing of four copies of the letter.
Some one in the postal service fig

After Dinner Trick S

A loop of string, passed through 3
euttonhole, with a thumb and finger in
each end of the loop. is apparently
drawn right through the cloth without
the hands loosing their hold from either
end of the loop.
The trick is done thus: Use a loop
more than a foot in length. Pass it
through a buttonhole of the coat and
slip thumb in each end. Bring the
ends together and hook the little finger
of each hand onto the upper string of
the opposite hand. The string will
row appear as shown in the diagram
and VIII seem hopelessly tangled.
The trick. however, is virtually done.
The right thumb releases its loop and
the left little finger does likewise. The
right little finger and the left thumb.
which retain their holds. are drawn
apart and the string comes right out of
the buttonhole.
