Telephone Man Tells Of Ills to
Which Cables Are Subject.

The lead covering of a. telephone

by rat recently and the cable sec
tion had to be Immediately replaced
by the Telephone Company to avoid
interruption of telephone service. In
jury to cable covering Is often the re-
suit of such unusual causes, the tele-
phone company reports, and Is impos-
sibie to anticipate.
"For want OF better target" says
a prominent telephone man, "amateur
marksmen frequently pepper aerial
cables with buckshot or try out their
rifles on the glass insulation knobs
on telephone pole crossarms. Much
damage Is done in this way with the
result thai many telephone subscrib-
ers may be inconvenienced

Wage Readjustmenfs
To FOHOaC Shut Doom

A general wage readjustment was
announced by F. W. BONNER, AS
sistant General Manager, after the
paper went to press last Thursday
The new rates were announced
during the forepart of the past
week and have been generally ac-
cepted without comment by prac-
tically all of the employees af.
fected.
Several departments due to the
fact that their wages have been re-
Gently adjusted to new levels were
not affected at all. In one depart-
ment only, Tennis Stitching, was
there any opposition to the in
evitable and these girls have already
been replaced.
This readjustment is general
throughout the Industry and was
precipitated by decrease in Tennis
Rates on the part of other large
Rubber Companies.
A comparison of the new rates
show them to be on a par with the
rates in similar companies and if
living conditions are to be taken into
consideration, appreciably higher. 1t
was obvious to everyone familiar
with conditions in the Industry that
some such thing must be done very
shortly and we are all extremely
fortunate that the reductions were
not more drastic and were not coup
led with still farther certailments in
Production.

When the Editor came in F. E.
Burnett's office yesterday and ask
ed for the Smokers he got three
kinds. Mr.. Burnett started to snik-
er, Helen Hoore joined, Edna Kint-
eel, in the file room, added her snik-

to grin.
Hiram Williams spent the week
end in Bangor.

all the Fire Engines in town when

stuck and began to blow like boy

had gathered at the door to watch
for the engines, Dora recognized
the cry of her wounded beast and

in New York. He saw the Big

and it reminded him of the game
between the Police Dogs and Main

Fire Chief Gets
Special Boots

There used to be an expression
which awarded people fur-lined re-
volvers for particular excellence but
we venture to say W. F. Kennel has
the only original pair of Astrakan
lined boots.
Capt. Kennel is head of a Fire
Company in the Bronx, New York.
Some time ago he almost lost his
feet when they were frozen at a
bad fire. His search for something
really warm in the way of boots led
him here and we built a pair for
him with soft lining of Astrakan
1t was real service, for he almost
got the boots on a "while-you-w wait"
proposition while he inspected the
factory and his little daughter spent
the time in learning how TO push
a typewriter one finger at time.
