was followed by the opening, On
March 27, 1884, of the overhead line
from Boston to New York, 235 miles
With the opening of the New York
Boston line, long distance telephony
began to be a real factor in the nation.
At last it was realized that the tele-
phone had become more than neigh
borhood affair. 1t was an epoch-mak
ing event in the history of long dis
tance lines.
From that time on the development
was steady and certain. The 900 mile
goal was reached on October 18, 1892,
when the New York-to-Chicago line
was opened. BY the early years In
the present century the line had been
extended to Omaha, and on May 8,
1911, New York and Denver were con-
nected by telephone. The range OF
conversation was then 2,100 miles,
but the telephone engineers were not
satisfied. For years they had been
looking forward to the time when a
transcontinental line could be estab'
lished and, within four years of the
opening of the line to Denver, their
dreams came true.
In 1913 the overhead line between
New York and Salt Lake City, $500
miles, was opened, and on January
25, 1915, the Atlantic Coast talked to
the Pacific when Boston and San

Salem to Boston Demonstration = 1877

Two miles in 1875, $500 miles today
all the way, in fact, from Havana,
Cuba, to Catalina Island of the coast
of Southern California-is the record
in the remarkable development of toll
telephone service in this country. The
range in conversation has gradually
extended until now it is possible to
telephone between any two states in
the Union.
The first conversation by overhead
lines occurred on October 9, 1876. 1t
was between Boston and Cambridge, a
distance of two miles. The expert
ment was a complete success and was
followed on October 26, 1876, by what
may be termed the first long distance
conversation in the world. Alexander
Graham Bell, the inventor of the tele.
phone, talked from Salem, Mass, over
q wire with his assistant, Thomas A.
Watson, in Boston, 18 miles away.
This was the first public demonstra.
tion of the telephone and it served to
bring home to the people of the nation
that there was now a new word in the
language, a new idea in the scientific
world.
After this, developments were
rapid. BY 1850 line had been con-
structed between Boston and Provi-
dence, q distance OF As miles, and this

Something to
Think kAb0uf
AFTER THE DAYS WORK
By r. n. WALKER

HST~ELL me-" said the venerable
4 sage, "where the young men and
women are at nine o'clock In the eve
ming. and what they are doing, and
I'll inform you what role they will
play later in the real drama Of life"
A little reflection will convince even
those who are Indifferent to the ten
dency Of the times, that the old wise
man was right. 1t Is not so much
what Is accomplished in the working
hours, under the guidance Of q cap
tam. as what is done In the hours Of
freedom, that counts In shaping human
destiny.
The plain tales of history and bi-
oGrarhy pile fact upon fact in con-
hrmatiOn of this living truth.
Turn to their chapters and read
them closely.
AS you proceed, you will find that
the conspicuous men and women
whose achievements are shining as
beacon lights In tOday's unrest and
darkness. were those who gave close
attention to their spare time, using 1t
to improve their minds, rather than
for frolic and useless diversion.
They found their greatest pleasure
in picturing brilliant future. in which
they resolved to play leading part.
With this purpose in mind, they sought
the companionship Of Wisdom wheth-
er among elders or with instructive
books.
Thus they began in youth to steer
their sOul-Ship to secure haven,
where they knew that in the years to
come they would be protected from the
storining winds that beat against the
water-logged craft of old age.
Such men and women were not en-
shaved by the hands Of the clock.
Being free, they scorned the eight
hour day, and planned a day Of their
own. in which they often labored till
midnight.
Whatever they found to do they did
with all their might, quite regardless
Of the giddy world at large, keeping
always before their mental vision the
far-off goal.
Their chief concern was not the
passage of time, but how they might
conserve and use 1t to their utmost
advantage.
And this forgetfulness Of the clock
is what the world needs today for a
better devotion to duty and higher
development of brotherhood among the
peoples everywhere. and especially for
those who know that FROM the heart
of man come the things That exalt OF
Aebase him.

"MUSICLAND" MAKES Hrr

Seven talented misses in the musical skit, "Musicland," head the Biiou thea Ire bill for the week. These seven mh- sicians attain things that are usually reached by only larger orchestras. The arrangement of instruments forms an orchestra that it is not only suitable for jazz numbers, but for other num- bers that make for versatility. A great variety of things are presented in this lead act, which should make it a most popular musical act.
 A dual presentation of matrimony, by one couple newly married and an- other one who have fought numerous battles in a campaign of ten years age, is an outstanding act for fun. The stage is divided in half, and is shown as the respective apartments of the couple. It is a little comedy hit that brings many a good hearty laugh.
 A successful trapeze and novelty act by Alvin and Kenny, full of clever stunts and tricks that require excellent skill, start the five acts of the Bijou.
 Charles Martin, cowboy singer, pre- sents a number of songs, both old and new. Gordon and Young, comediennes of uncommon talent, complete the bill.

POPULAR FARCE AT JEFFERSON
Fair And Warmer Is All-Star Offering
 This Week

Flair and Warmer" which opened Monday night at the Jefferson theatre, furnishes an interlude between the pro- duction last week of ''The Second Year." and that of next week of Potash and Perlmutter," for which the All-Star Players are now preparing.
 Miss Helen Joy does not appear in Fair and Warmer" but her usual place in the leading role is well filled by Miss Marion Evensen. She plays the part of Laura, Mrs. William Bart lett. Her husband, Billy, is played by the inimitable Selmer Jackson, who in his several performances in Birming- ham has scored tremendous hits.
 Laura, the author would wish his audience to believe, is the usual young married woman who tires of the mo- notony of home life after few years and seeks excitement elsewhere, with another man, of course. Needless to say, she is really in love with her hus- band, who, however, thinks otherwise because of his wife's actions. On the advice of a friend, he decides that to put on the appearance of leading a double life will make his wife jealous, and bring her back to her rightful place in the home. His friends advice contained the clause, "Take any wom- an to share your other life," and Billy did. He took his wife's friends wife. Result: complications, climax and so- lutiOn, everyone forgiving everyone, making for the expected happy end- ing.
 The friend, Jack Wheeler, is played by Phillip Brandon, one of Birming- hams own, with his customary dash and vim, and the rest that goes with an outraged husband.
 The other man, the one who almost breaks up the Bartlett household, is the sauve, smooth, unflustered man of the world, Philip Evans, better known off-stage as DeForest Dawley.
 The smaller parts of Fair and Warmer" are those of the maid and the two furniture movers. Miss Helen Ray is Tessie, the maid, or, as she would rather be called by her mas- ter, Morning Glory. A surprise is sprung when it is revealed that George Westlake and Hal Crane are the piano filters. A bit of Charlie Chaplin pathos, even perhaps irony reminis- cent of Merton of the Movies" may be noted in MT. Crane's performance of Peter Mealy, right hand man for Harrigan, the furniture van driver. For Peter, the title of right hand man means all the work.
 Besides being a charming little semi bed room comedy, Fair and Warmer" beneath the surface is a real psychoa- nalysis of the average married girl, at which husband laughs, and his mate learns q little lesson.

NEW EVTDENCE1UP
 IN M'COY'S CASE
Theft Of Jewels From Mrs.
 Mors Now Charged

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 1S.-Charges that jewels valued at S10,000 were stolen from the body of Mrs. Theresa Mors, either just before or after her death, were made by attorneys for AL bert MOrs, the woman's former hus- band.
 This accusation, combined with the report that the states alienists had pronounced Kid Mccoy sane, featured the days investigation of the murder with which the former fighter, is charged.
 Mors has been granted letters of ad- ministration which permit him again to take over the antique shop of MOrs, inc, which had been given to his former wife in their divorce settlement. The charges that the jewelry had been stolen were made when the petition for award of the store was made in court.
 Mrs. Mors is said to have been wear ing a pearl ring, brooch and wrist watch on the night of her death. These have not been recovered and their ab- sence resulted in the charges that she was robbed.
 Mccoy is said to have admitted that Mrs, Mors had made him presents of jewelry at various times, but he de nies knowledge of the specific articles mentioned by Mors Monday.
 The report of Doctors Victor Parkin, Paul Bowers and Louis Weber, alien ists, indicated that Mccoy, during their tests, showed no signs of insanity. He opinion of his own importance, but no has an exalted ego," an exaggerated trace of insanity that would prevent his being tried on murder charges, the physicians stated. Their full report will be presented to the county grand jury Tuesday. when it is expected that an indictment against Mccoy will be returned.

DAWES ATTACKED BY LABOR LEADER
Joseph A. Wise Refuses To Attend Modification
 Ceremoney

< WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S.-The American Federation of Labor made public tonight the text of a letter writ ten by Joseph A. Wise, a member of the Chicago Typographical Union, to William NJ. Butler, chairman of the re- publican national committee, declining an invitation to attend the ceremonies notifying Charles G. Dawes of his nom ination by the republican party for vice president, because he said he prefers to ''choose the Constitution and repudiate the party candidate in the present po- litical situation"
 Reviewing the last judicial election in Chicago and. the part which he said Mir. Dawes took in supporting a judge opposed by labor in that election, MT. Wise said in his letter:
 About ten months ago, took an &C., tive part in the campaign to defeat a democratic judge in Cook county, Judge Dennis E. Sullivan, who has become known. as one of the most drastic in- junction judges in the middle west. When that campaign was at it's height and Judge Sullivan was facing defeat, Charles G. Dawes rallied his personal following to the support of this judge and, in doing so, made the astounding declaration that in issuing the arbitrary injunction writs restricting the rights of citizens, Judge Sullivan was merely acting in accord with the provisions of the Constitution.
 Through the efforts of MT. Dawes, Judge Sullivan was reelected by the votes which MT. Dawes personally ob- tained for him in Evanston and other towns surrounding Chicago. While do- ing this, Mir. Dawes directed some vici- ous verbal attacks against well-known and widely known respected trades union officers. He was joined in this by one William z. Foster.
 T am, however, not so much con cerned about the unfair attacks upon the labor representatives as I am about the perverted view of the Constitution presented by Messrs. Dawes and Foster, who, each in his own way, insist that the injunction evil is a fundamental part of American government.

HOMES.O OF RICH
 NOT ALL HAPPY
Money Fails To Bring Peace To This
 Preside

That the wealthy mans home has to face as many troubles and strives as hard for happiness as the domicile of his work-a-day neighbor is one of the vital facts brought ont in Temporary Marriage" which is playing at the Temple theatre for today and tomor- row. The production is new type of domestic picture, business it differs radically from the class of pictures that have dealt with the home and its prob lems in the past. There is nothing theatrical about its characters but, in- stead, a conscientious effort has been made to present every day human be- ings and the problems that may result when a husband and wife begin to drift apart because one or the other refuses to give up the romantic urge of youth.
 In this instance it presents . middle-aged couple the husband, a self satisfied lawyer who has forgotten his youth in the acceptance of his advanc- ing years, while the wife, on the other hand, refuses to allow herself to grow old. She will retain her beauty at all costs, even going to the necessity of indulging in. beauty treatments, and flirtations with other men far young CT in years. A divorce will soon give her freedom. She utterly forgets her marital vows. and the duties of mother hood. Then intrigue stalks in her path and she stands on the brink of disaster.
 The finish of the picture is one highly pleasing, and one that will lefve the right taste with every person who sees it. Pathe News, Aesops Fables and a Mack Sennett comedy, "One Spooky Night" are the added attractions at the Temple the first half of the week, with the Temple Concert orchestra playing daily from to 5 80 and z 80 to Il p. m.
 For Thursday, Friday and Saturday, the Temple offers Albert Smiths big motion picture production, Borrowed Husbands" picture starring beautiful Florence Vidor and other well known gcrnan nlaVArs
