Nashville, Ark.
Dear Fro. Crowson:
81 am pleased that | heard
your lecture on "The Anthem
ticity of the Bible here at the
Methodist church last Sunday.
1t is the best lecture or SER
mon have ever heard on the
Bible. In sublimity of thought,
in elegance of diction and in
eloquence of delivery it ranks
along with lectures given by
our foremost Chautauqua lee
turers.
81 have heard dozens of
Chautauqua lectures, but |
have never heard one better
than yours.
"In this time of increasing
doubt as to the authenticity of
the Bible and of a revival OF
the discussion of the theory of
Evolution" your lecture comes
at the opportune moment, and
it should be given all over this
country; in churches and
schools, revival meetings, and
in Chautauqua tents. If the
Methodist church of this state
is wise, they will employ you
at a good salary and pay all
your travelling expenses to de-
liver this lecture to the young
men and women of your
church. 1t would be the best
investment they could make. |
sincerely hope you will secure
employment with a first class
Chautauqua circuit and will
give this lecture to hundreds
of thousands of people. 1t is
the most needed kind of ser
mon or lecture which present
troubled religious conditions
demand.
with great esteem, and
with all good wishes, | am,
yours truly,
John j. DuLaney,
State Senator 22nd Dist. y

TIRE MANUFACTURING PRO.
CESS AN INTERESTING ONE

The crude rubber received at tire
manufacturing plan goes through a
long series of operations before it is
ready to be built into the finished
product, says J. E. Olson, of the Mid
West Tire Shop, local Miller tire
dealer.
First comes what is known as
cracking says MIR. Olson, (which
is the operation in which rubber is
torn and ground to pieces between
revolving corrugated rolls. Then
washing by which rubber is cleansed
of all impurities in machine of re-
volving cylinders over which water
continually pours.
Next the rubber is dried in vac
cuum driers and presented for mas
tication,' the process by which it is
worked in mills with revolving roll
ers. Masticating smooths the tex
ture Of the product. Mixing, or
milling, is the process by which crude
rubber and other ingredients neces-
sary for the finished product are
blended in mills equipped with re-
volving cylinders that produced
smoothness in the product.
"Calendaring is the method by
which the fabric is frictionized with
rubber. The calendaring machine is
one with three large revolving cylin-
dcrs placed horizontally one above
the other. Frictionizing amounts to
applying or smearing rubber on the
fabric.
1.-The next succeeding processes
are those which run the rubber to
proper width, Eliminating which
builds it up to proper thickness by
placing thin layers Of rubber one on
the other cutting the tread to prop
er width, etc.
"Tir" manufacturing is one of the
most interesting processes know

Of the quick-witted telephone opera
tor A few minutes later the subs
scriber phoned back, saying that the
advice was excellent, and that kitty,
standing upon the brink Of deStruc-

timely end.
Hello! Hello! Is this informa-
tion?" queried female voice of the
information operator last. week.
Information, information; this is
information" warbled the young la
dy seated at her chair at the switch
board. There was no reply. did
you call information?" asked the OPP
orator again. "Hello! Hello!" The
girl called vainly for minute or
more, then these words came over
the wire:
"That will do, operator. Thank
you ever so much. / just wanted
baby to hear your voice. 1t always
puts her in such a good humor to
hear someone speaking over the
telephone"
Want Bets Settled.
Such are some Of the incidents
happening every day In the life OF
that very busy and much-persecuted
person-the telephone information
operator.
A great percentage of the public is
extremely literal minded and when it
reads in its phone book that there is
an information operator, it imagines
that said person exists to dispense
information concerning every subject
under the sun. If they want to know
when the next ship sails for the lsle
of zap or the approximate size of
dinosaur eggs they simply call in
formation. When the operator says
she doesn't know or that she Is sup
posed to simply give OF telephone
numbers, the patron becomes indig-
nant and wants to know what she's
paid for, while the wires become
choked with such epithets as block
head" and "dumbbell."
The sort of questions asked the in
formation operators is unbelievable.
''Now, look here, operator / want
you to Settle bet for us" someone
will say over the telephone. "Was

"Say, operator, how can one pass

These questions have actually been
asked.
Then, there is the busy housewife
puzzled over some phase of the do

a man called up information and
asked the operator how to make
coffee. You see, we are going rab-
bit hunting at o'clock tomorrow
morning, and we want bit to eat
before we set out There's not a
woman in the house, so could you
tell me how to make coffee?" The
operator, fortunately enough, knew
how to make coffee, SO she gave the
required information, and the gum
ming party was able to have some
thing hot before starting off on the
chase.

AS a rule, however, information is
refused in all cases except when the

when he gave 1t to the regular OPP
orator.
Central BASIN is incorrect. There
is no such number said the opera
tor.
But information just gave me
that number" was the retort.
Then the mar called up informa-
ton second time and was given the
number again 300SM.
Central 34SM," he repeated after
the information operator.
Central 340SM," was the number
he gave to the regular operator.
There is no such number" said
the regular operator
The man, however, was satisfied
the number was correct, so he at
tempted to use it again, but with no
better luck than before. Then he
tried the information operator third
time. The whole procedure took $40
seconds, or almost nine minutes, and
then the fellow gave up without
reaching his party after all.
The man was simply dizzy in the
head. The fault was not bad con-
nection, because the entire CONVEX
sation could be heard without the ut
most clarity. More than that, he
was apparently sane, or at least not
suffering from any malady causing
people to be put into confinement.
Absent MindednesS.
People are given number one
minute, only to forget it the next
This is often due to preoccupation.
The speaker is so busy thinking
about what he is going to say that he
lets the number lapse into the back
ground of his mind, where it be-
comes balled up when he attempts
to recall it. Then, too, he is apt to be
looking at his notes or be far away
from the mouthpiece doing some
thing else when he is giving his
number to the operator. He chews
UP the numbers and it is difficult to
understand him.
But Just let the operator ask for
the number to be given over again
and torrent of abuse begins.
"Blockhead" and "dumbbell," il
nothing worse, are the epithets usu-
ally employed. Men use form of
talking over the telephone that they
would not dare employ elsewhere.
They say things to the operator that
they would not think of saying If the
young lady were before them. Be
considerable of the operator and re-
member that she is not allowed to
answer back.

But what of the man who possesses

rid of his money first, the problem
would be easier to explain; but
when the millionaire of his own
choice goes s'wet" without taking
any such precautions, one has to put
in some extra time considering 1T.
Cause Often Trivial.
Many put low estimate upon the
value of human life, having destroy
ed themselves for causes most
trivial, A girl did the act because
she became depressed after bobbing
her hair; a man because he was
forced to quit playing golf. A wom-
an killed herself after missing two
trains. man because he feared the
end of the world was at hand, an
other because of a row over cat. A
designer was driven to suicide trying
to guess the coming Spring styles
for women. One ended his life rath-
er than face another cold Winter. A
young man killed himself for the
fun of it, And another took poison,
just to get a new thrill.
A noted neurologist and alienist,
when asked why millionaires with
the means to supply any deficiencies
which may exist in their lives,
should commit suicide, replied:

commit suicide as the hobo on the
street Material possessions have

nothing to do with 1t. The urge for a
man to end his own life usually
comes from an attack of melancholia
and melancholia Is just as apt to in
f1ict the poverty-stricken man as the
millionaire. Melancholia does not
affict the poor man any more read
lily than does pneumonia or typhoid
fever, nor are the rich any more inn
mune because of their money.
"Just what causes melancholia has
never fully been determined. 1t is,
perhaps, a hereditary tendency hand
ed down from one generation to an
other. 1t is in the blood and some
families have an ever-recurring
number of suicides through the
years. MeIancholia in an acute form
is apt to come upon the person
number Of times in the course of
lifetime, and each time the person
has a strong inclination to end it all.
Suicide seems to follow kind OF
law and there are certain places or
localities in the United States where
it is more prevalent than elsewhere.
Saxony, a part of the German en-
pire, has always been noted for its
large number of suicides. 1t seems
to be more prevalent in the souther-
ly countries than in the far north

a little more information. "Is it the

illustrates the lack of imagination in

And She Can't Answer Back!
People frequently get very angry
when the operator can't do anything
for them. Again, the fault arises
from a lack of imagination. Here is
a sample of what it meant:

operator intimates that she does not
know the fishmonger in question, she
is apt to face torrent of abuse.
