oftentimes the wire chief, seated
at his desk in the terminal room of
the central office, where he and his
assistants are constantly busy with
plugs, lamps, meters and testing ap-
paratus of all sorts, is able to detect
trouble and have 1t attended to before
the subscriber is even aware that any
thing is wrong.
It 10 the duty of the wire chief to
keep himself informed as to what is
happening to the wires coming into
and leading out Of the exchange, and
it is on the information he gets that
repairs are made and lines are kept
in proper shape. Routine tests of the
equipment are made at frequent In
tervals.
II you think your complaints go into
the waste paper basket, you should
watch a wire chief and his men at
work. The system is too complicated,
and the consequences might be too far
reaching, to allow even the most trivial
complaint to be ignored.

SILHOUETTES OF
 STATE CAPITAL
tState CapltaI ,Bureau)

MONTGOMERY, Ala, May S.--A fine specimen of the great northern l loon was extricated from the court square fountain with considerable diff ficulty and turned loose on the Ala hama river, by order of Mayor W. A. Gunter, Jr. The loon is an infreQuent visitor to this part of the world, but a specimen dropped in here four days ago and took up his abode in the foun- tain on the square, within sight of the state capitol, where the legislature of 1923 and previous legislatures as sembled. Having once slighted in the fountain the loon was unable to depart owing to the fact that like an aerOs plane, he must have a running start" before taking wing.
 The loon painfully wounded one of his assailants when taken from the fountain today. Tom Elzey, superin- tendent of the Alabama Sunday School association, who twirled wicked lariat on the plains of Texas in years past, was called on to lasso the loon and did the work in fine style. An over jealous clerk who attempted to assist the work was stabbed on the. hand by the birds dagger like beak.
 The state department archives and history has in it's collection a loon which was shot some time ago on the Tallapoosa river.
 Figures showing the cost of rabies to the people of Alabama, aside from the pain and loss of life involved, were quoted today by Dr. s. ". Welch, state health officer, in his campaign against the mad dog menace. In 1922, 1923 and to May s, 1924, the state has paid $25, 5,860 in furnishing anti-rabies treat ments persons of limited means, while citizens of the state have spent an additional $11,920 to secure treatment
 Thirty-one treatments for rabies have been sent out so far this month. <.
