Special Exchange to Handle

Under Consideration.

Establishment of separate
switchboard at the central telephone
office to handle Shrine affairs ex.
clusively during the session of the
Imperial Council in Washington
next June, is being planned by the
telephone and telegraph commit
Zee Of the Alnas Temple 1923 Shrine
committee.
Burdett Stryker. general manager
OF the Chesapeake and Potomac
Telephone Company, chairman Of
the committee, is planning to bring
about the creation of special
Shrine exchange staff, with spe..
cial Information bureau, and all of
the adjuncts which 90 to make up
= complete city telephone unft.s
The result will be, In fact, an
entirely separate telephone ex-
change. as distinct and oompleteaas
that OF another city, BY means of
which any one Of the 800, 900 Shrine
visitors can be reached instantly
through special set OF numbers
Could Serve City Of 100000.
The special exchange, it IL said,
will be Of the same size as that
found in the ordinary American
city Of 100000 inhabitants.
In addition to the greatly ex.
banded telephone service, this com.
mittee, functioning through three
special subcommittee, will bring
about greater communication and
information facilities of all kinds.
The three subcommittee are as
follows: Telephone, House Hamil-
ton, chairman; information and pos
tai facilities, Merritt o. Chance,
postmaster: telegraph, G. Manson
Foote, manager Of the Western
Union Telegraph Company.
Through the joint work OF these
committees the temporary visitors
10 the city will be assured as full
and complete communication pos
tai, and Information facilities as the
regular Inhabitants of the city.
Through the special Information
staff In connection with the tele-
nhone switchboard the visitors can
receive accurate information at any
time OF the day or night concerning
parades, banquets, pageants, and
other forms Of entertainment, the
location Of various visitors and
visiting units and local points Of in
terest.
Mall and Telegraph.
The fullest postal facilities will
be extended through the subcom-
nnittee of which Postmaster Chance
is chairman, which will be furnish
ed with the address while in Wash
ngton Of every visiting Shriner SO
that he may be given any mail sent
to him during his stay in the Ma
tional Capital.
The telegraph committee will as
sure prompt and efficient service
despite the tremendous overload ex-
pected during the session, and VIII
work out systems Of special routing
and employment Of whatever extra
help may be needed to insure speedy
clearing of messages.
It is possible that postal stations
will be opened at all Shrine centers
in the city and that auxiliary tele-
graph stations will also be placed
in operation.
The plans now being evolved by
Noble STRIKERS committee, Shrin-
ers declare, contemplate a system
of communication more extensive
than any ever undertaken at an
imperial COUNSEL session.

Norman H. Davis, former Under

that is its application in physical

Getting Through
The Pear]y Gates

Sometime we think Of starting
For that mansion in the sky,
And we'd like to know the best
road.
To reach it by and by.
The Methodists and Qua1ers,
The Baptists too they state,
Will take US from this vale of
tears,
Right through the Pearly gate.
But lately we have noticed,
That their tracks are out of
line.
And their road beds most too
spungy
To make the best of time.
Their rails are getting slippery.
They nsed a lot of sand,
And their crossings all need
tixin'
Fore they reach that promis =
ed land.
We have heard a few sky pilots,
And they told US long and
loud,
How they'd quit all worldly
pleasures,
And were on the road to God.
And we've been almost persuad-
ed,
To JOIN some of their bands,
But something always happened
And we're still with Uncle
Sam.
We have seen our neighbors
startlng.
Gaily for that promised land
A singln' and q shoutin'.
And some q clappin' hands.
But the pilot would get cranky,
Some good brother say 20,
hen."
Then the devil would side.track
them.'
Aud they'd have to start
again.
So we've come to this conclu.
sion,
We wont bother with no roads
There's too many dead beats
riding,
And they've got too big q
load.
Well just plod along the high
way,
We can prise the LORD and
sing,
Till the Savior comes to meet us
With q harp and pair of wings.

CONFLICTING VERDICTS DAZE
 BENCH AND BAR

Washington, March o.-In an effort to extricate courts from their maze of bewildering and contradictory decisions, 400 judges and lawyers organized the American law institute at a meeting in this city. E1ihu Root was elected honor ary president and George w. Wicker sham, former attorney general Of the United States, was elected president.
 Much was said about the need to simplify and clarify the law. Some of the discussions sounded as though the new organization was intended to take over the functions of the nations law making bodies Former Governor Had 1ey. however. remindd the judges and lawyers that the trouble is in themselves. He said if something is not done I've will be lost in the jungle of conflicting and confusing opinions"
 In a report of the meeting, a com mittee headed by Elihu Root said the ignorance of those who are supposed to expound the law makes 1t impos- sible to advise persons of their rights" The most serious consequences of thSe defects is that they create a lack of re- spect for law. resulting in undermining the moral fabric of the community and IS a cause for anti-social movements, 1t was stated
 The committee said its investigation shows that among the causes of the laws uncertainty are: Lack of agree ment among the legal profession upon the fundamental principles of the com- mon law; lack of precision in the us of legal trrns; conflicting and badly drawn
