The more she thought of Raoul

hated him. The scene in her studio
began to take on the distorted outlines

1t wasn't until daylight came that
any possible plan OF procedure pre-.

eye fell on a crayon sketch Of the well

She stopped short, arrested by a
thought as new as though IL had
bloomed out OF the table beside her.
Her only hope, she suddenly felt, Law

OF balancing life's ledger OF violence
rested with that East Side youth with

Theodore had met Dorian some

AVIATION NOT HIS OBJECT
swede Had His Own Reason for Re-
jectino Offer of That Particu-
lar Brand of Liquor.

Stephen Hunter Love Of Salt Lake
City, prominent in the beet sugar in
dustry of Utah and a member of the
food administration during the war,
was in Washington for the sugar
hearings before the finance committee
of the senate. Mr.. Love has a great
gift for story telling, and is particu-
larry fond Of Swedish stories, his imi-
tation of the Scandinavian dialect be-
ing well-nigh perfect.
1t seems that recently a picturesque
old Swede employed in one of the
sugar mills thought to himself that
he would not mind having a little drink
or two after a particularly hard days
work. SO he hied himself to a boot
logger of his acquaintance.

Yohn?n he asked.
"No, I haven't Sven" replied the
liquor merchant, 'but l car give you

shook his head.

WHAT'S IN A TELEPHONE?

Few people know that in order to
manufacture the innocent little tele-
phone that stands on the desk it is
necessary to bring 10 the factories
articles from practically every corner
of the globe.
There are twenty different minerals,
fabrics and the like, used in the man
ufacturing process. OF course, many
of the articles are obtained right here
at home. Such things as gold, silver,
copper and wool are secured in the
western part of the United States.
Iron, lead, zinc, nickel and aluminium,
as well as coal and cotton, are re-
ceived from the eastern and southern
parts of the country.
But copal must be secured from the
southern part of Africa; linen comes
from Eastern Europe, mica from In
dia tin from Malay silk and shellac
from China platinum from Russia and
from South America is obtained rub
Der and asphaltum.
The ensemble has the earmarks of
an international collection, and it is
easily TO be seen how difficult would
be the shedding if it were not for the
present day efficient scheme of world
commerce.

VARIOUS TONGUES IN BAGDAD
Pupils at Jews School Are Taught
English, French, Arabic and
Persian Languages.

Most of the public scribes in Bag
dad were either Armenians or Jews,
both of whom are natural linguists.
Many that l ran across near AS Serai
mosque and in Zazim Pasha street,
close to the government buildings and
the law courts, knew at least a half
dozen languages, writes Roland Gorb-
old, in Asia.
1t is not difficult to acquire that
number in Bagdad itself. When l Wis
tied the Jews school, the masters put
their pupils through their PAGES by
having them recite their lessons in
English, French, Arabic and Persian.
French has been much used In the
city for social and even business pur-
poses. The tickets to the German
Bagdad railway were printed in Arabic
and French-not German. With the
advent of the British eXpeditionary
force, signs in English as well as
French began to appear over the shops
In New street.
1 laughed at some of these absurd
legends and sighed over them too.
They were as i%ncongruous as the
cinema houses and the watering cart
labeled "Bagdad Municipality" /
never really liked New street. Though
1t was a necessary and admirable
achievement, 1t did not appeal to the
Imagination.

TELEPHONE CORD
PLAYS VITAL PART
If Damaged Will Interfere With
the Giving of Good Tele-
phone Service.

Good telephone service depends to
a great extent upon what appears to
be an unimportant part of the equip
ment-the telephone cord.
If not in good condition, this little
cord, usually between five and six
feet in length, can cause serious trou-
BILE with the service.
For instance, a simple knot or twist
may cause a break in the service by
weakening the delicate wires inside
and if these wires are completely
severed the service will be entirely
cut off.
Sometimes a subscriber absent-mind-
eddy jerks the telephone to s%traighten
a twisted cord. While that jerk may
not cause any seriOus trouble at the
time, yet it may be the means of tear
ing loose a connection inside The tele-
phone which will eventually cut off
the service.
1t is a well-known fact that moisture
causes corrosion or rust when it comes
in contact with metal and in the tele-
phone business thousands of trouble
complaints arise from wet telephone
cords. If the cord rests against a
wet umbrella or a sponge on the
desk or if rain blowing in from an
open window falls on the cord, the
result will probably be trouble with
the service.
Baby, in a playful mood may chance
upon the telephone cord in his travels
and start chewing. Everyone knows
that baby's salivary glands are ex-
ceedingly active and, of course, the
danger of a saturated cord is the re-
suit. Teething is an important pro-
cess, but it is hard on telephone cords.
Moisture will gradually work its
way into the cord and tie result will
be corrosion of the wires, which at the
very least means a noisy line and
sometimes the service is cut off en-
tirely.

CHEATS DEATH BY
PROMPT ACTION
Telephone Operator Hears
Groans Over Wire and
Notifies Doctor.

Prompt action in summOning a ply
stefan by Mrs. Catherine Ridge, a
telephone operator at Bryn Mawr, Pa,
was probably the mean of saving the
life of Mrs. Mary B. Fleming.
Mrs. Fleming shot herself accident
ally while alone in her home and by
sheer force of will dragged herself to
the telephone to call for aid. Her
strength was sapped by the loss of
blood and she collapsed Immediately
upon removing the telephone receiver
from the hook. She lay on the floor
almost unconscious, grooming from the
effects of the wound.
The telephone operator, upon an
swering the signal on the switchboard
caused by the removal of the receiver,
received no response to her repeated
query, Number, please" Listening
i~ntently, she heard Mrs. Fleming's
weak cries as she lay on the floor.
Mrs. Ridge, sensing that the CASE
was urgent, Immediately notified a
physician.
The physician rushed to the home
and Immediately staunched the flow
of blood. Mrs. Fleming was then re-
moved to a hospital, where it was
declared that but for the quick action
on the part of Mrs. Ridge in sum-
moning a physician, Mrs. Fleming
might have bled to death before re-
ceiving treatment.

TELEPHONE LIVES BECOME
LITERALLY AS BUSY AS BEES

Taking refuge in a terminal box of
the Bell Telephone system, in Linden,
Pa, bees made honey on wire Hoops"
while business, town talk and social
conversation "buzzed" over the wires.
Though the bees buzzed a bit also,
it wasn't their interruption of the
n%eighborhood conversation that
brought their presence to the notice
of the telephone company officials. 1t
was a resident of the neighborhood
who found the swarm and visited the
general managers office-to seek aid in
corraling the hive, which he declared
valuable.
Who owned it and lost it when the
''queen" led her followers to their lofty
home on the pole, telephone company
officials said they did not know.

TELEPHONE SYSTEM PRINTS
17716,5O0 DIRECTORIES

Some conception of the magnitude
of the work involved in compiling and
printing the telephone directories of
the Bell system is obtained when it is
known that there are approximately
$500 different directories published on
an average of two annually, and this
necessitates the printing of about H.
716,500 copies. The paper used, in
Guiding the cover stock, weighs ap-
proximately 41,725,000 pounds and rep
resents an annual cost of $1,922,575.
To haul this paper from the mills
to the print shops requires approx
mately S34 freight cars of $4,000
pounds capacity. This would make
II solid train loads of 60 cars each.
To deliver the directories after they
have been printed would require near
ly 1900 fve-ton truck loads and sew
eral thousand men to deliver the books
from the trucks TO the subscribers.
There are approximately 26,053, 700
lines of subscribers listings and ad-
vertising to be cared for during a
period of one year. If it were pos
sible to make up one four column
book, this book would contain $500
pages, 8 inches by IL inches, and the
book would be y inches thick. If
this book we're divided into volumes
the size of the Philadelphia directory
with 1882 pages, there would be more
than 80 volumes.
In Pennsylvania about 100000 di-
rectories are issued each year, which
means that almost II per cent of the
Bell directories published in the Unit
ed States are used in tie Keystone
State.

FIGURES THAT TALK!

There are over 100000 tele-

1t is hard to believe that here
in our own country we have GA
per cent of the worlds telephones,
but it is nevertheless true, for the
total number in the entire world is
about 100000.
Europe, with 5,2S9,6O6 telephones,
has one telephone per 100 popula-
ton in fact, there are but IL
telephones per 100 population

ENGINES BUT NO TELEPHONES

Not long ago a fire occurred in a
town in England. The town was big
enough to have two IRE engines-al-
though they were not modern ones
but it did not have a single telephone.
The result was that when the fire got
belond control, help had to be sum-

before a motor fire engine could reach
