SENATOR BRUCE IS
 OPPOSED ID BONUS
Says No Plan Yet Presented Is
 Acceptable

Washington, Feb. i9.-pescribing the proposed soldier bonus as a ''squalid and odious gratuity," Sena- tor Bruce, democrat Maryland. today gave notice in the senate of his un- alterable opposition to its enactment in any of the forms so far proposed.
 If I thought that all or nearly all Of our world war service men were soliciting the bonus" he said, my faith In popular rule and its ability to resist class pressure would be de stroyed. would he driven to the conclusion that the tendency Of the great body of our voters to break up into special groups or blocs, which is the most alarming feature of our po- litical life at the present time, had reached it's continuation, and that henceforth government in tho United States would be given over to the wretched business of setting off one selfish class against another"
 Senator Bruce assert ed. however, there had been no conclusive evidence that even majority of the veterans deserted the bonus and cited the or ganization Of the anti bonus league Of veterans with its motto-'For the disabled: everything; for the able bodied: nothing. as illustrative Of the sentiment of many.
 The government rightly has made hountiful provision for the disabled, fhe Maryland senator said. analysing past and current appropriations for the veterans bureau. but even this should not be carried to a point where it "partikcs Of the nature of wanton waste or administrative scandal"
 The obligation to bear arms. rest ing upon every citizen, is mo creature or contract" Senator Bruce said. and no element Of barter or sale enters into it. Throughout history, he added. few things have been moro striking than the persistent con tempt held by all peoples for mer- cenary soldiers, or those who fought for pay.
 Should they obtain this bonus" he continued. what good reason have we to believe that such horde of active. bodied young men. with such long lease of life heforC them, might not again become weary of the irksome task of earning living for themselves and come along with an other application for another federal bonus?"
 Senator Rrucn declared no distinc- ton could bc drawn between bonus and adjusted compensation. 1T the latter phrase was accurate, ho said, clearer lines would he marked he tween the various classes of soldiers than "a mere difference of 25 cents per diem for the period af service"
 Estimating that maintenance of Inc average soldier cost the go, ernmeni not less than sS.lo q day exclusive of allowance to dependents and medl- ral attention. he compared this with the average earnings in all industries of SLOTS 3 year as reported for ials by government actuaries.
 "The difference between tho sol- dier's pay and tho civilians earnings" he declared. has been grossly rN- sgRerated."
 Summing up. without hesitation I roach the conclusion Of thn tmpor- tance of d,Nising some interna .ioual plan by which war may be brought to an end altogether"

JAP OPERATORS DON
SPECIAL GARB FOR WORK

Telephone operators in Japan are
called "moshi moshi" girls, the term
moshi moshi being the Japanese
equivalent for hello
All Japanese telephone operators in
the city of Tokyo are required to wear
q uniform costume consisting of sort
Of skirt called "hakama," which is
worn over working kimona of coarse,
white cloth. The sleeves Of this XII
mona are not as full as those of an
ordinary kimona and are tied with a
cord just below the elbow in order
to prevent them from interfering with
the movements of the operators
hands. The hakama has a sash tied
in front.
The attire Of the Japanese ope-
rators is completed by a pair of white
cloth foot-covers and straw sandals.
They wear no stockings, which is a
custom peculiar to all Japanese
women except those who adopt fer.
eign styles. -.

Moreover, when a taxreduction
bill was ultimately passed it was a
Democratic measure that won votes
enough to break deadlock. Mr..
Coolidge had put himself behind q
plan that favored 5000 people who pay
taxes on incomes of $4,000 or more
at the expense of the 100000 people
who do not. Had he stayed there,
and a compromise not been effected
on a Democratic bill the country
would have no reduction in taxation
now.
Finally, among the major Repub-
lican achievements in economy, there
is the Presidents claim that the Gov
eminent has Iiquidated' the country's
foreign loans. MIR. Davis has pointed
out that this does not mean all it says.
Liquidation is not quite the right word
when nothing has happened but the
execution Of new set of loans.
"Three old friends are missing when
Republican leaders talk of economy
and point with pride. There is Chas.
R. Forbes, who wasted $225,00O, 900 in
the Veterans Bureau. There is Al
bert B. Fall, who cost the Nation 20O,-
600. 900 barrels of it's navy's oil supply.
And there is the highest and most pro-
hibitive tariff in the country's history
adding to prices at every turn.
"A good deal of the economy in the
record of the Harding Coolidge Ad-
ministration suggests a policy tof
penny wise, pound foolish"

trict Of Michigan and the Bisbee dis.
trict of Arizona. German silver,
known az nickel silver, Is used in the
receiver spool heads, the desk stand
contact spring and In the transmitter
damping spring.
Cotton in the telephone Is easily
observed. It is used as a part of the
insulation covering of the wires and
cords. Wool also can be detected at
once. It 10 the pad upon which the
instruments rests that keeps 1t from
marring the desk and other furniture.
To make receiver shells and ear
pieces, the rubber trees of Brazil, Bo-
livia, Africa and Ceylon are tapped;
and in far-away India laborers are
busy producing block mica for the
carbon button rings in the telephone
transmitter Mica is also found In
North Carolina. Mica, sometimes
called isinglass, is valuable as an in
sulator and is used for transmitter in
sulators and transmitter washers.
Tin from the Straits Settlements
and the Dutch East Indies is used as
solder, made of mixture of tin and
lead. All of the terminals of the tele.
phone are finished with timed sur.
face so that solder will stick to them.
Illinois, Pennsylvania, Kansas.
Oklahoma, Arkansas, Canada, Mexico
and Australia furnish quantities OF
zinc ore. Africa and India are add.
tional sources. In the telephone it is
used as an ingredient Of nickel silver
and, combined with copper, makes
brass possible. Some Of the piece
parts are zinc plated and among the
places in the telephone where brass
is found is the receiver, where 1t IL
used in the bell, binding post, screws

in the bell, machine bolt, screws, Jugs

The picturesque Island Of Trinidad
supplies the asphalt for the telephone
which is used in the form of black
insulating and water-proofing paint.
Raw silk is imported from Asia and
Europe in large quantities for use ii

TO life no ghost of Albert Fall. It in
vites no fresh dispute between those
divergent wings of the Republican
Party whose chief point of agreement
is their willingness to stay in Office.
To be for economy is as safe and
genuinely popular as it is to be for
Decoration Day, white Christmas
and happy New Year.
Where do the Republicans find
their figures?
There is the matter of the public
debt: The President has talked Of
that in all his recent speeches. Gen
eral Dawes has mixed his He'll and
Marias with it. And the textbook OF
the Republic National Committee talks
about it at great length. What Re-
publican Administration did, the text
book says, was to reduce the public
debt by $3,070,442,6S6 in period OF
three years and six months. That is
an average monthly cut of 5000, 900.
"The figure is accurate enough. But
: it is also true that between the 1eak
of the country's war Indebtedness and
the date when the Wilson Administra-
ton left Office Democratic Admin.
istration cut down the public debt at
an average monthly rate of $141, O0O,-
900, which is almost double the Re
publican figure, but one of the items
which Republican experts in economy
omit
Then there is the matter of econ
omy in cutting down employees on the
public payroll. There is a great to
do in the Republican textbook be-

the mouth-piece. This material com.
prises about IS per cent. resin, s per
cent. wax and the rest in coloripg
matter and impurities.
Aluminium in the telephone 10 used
in the sound receiving diaphragm OF
the transmitter. Canada and the
United States lead the world in the
production Of this raw material. It Is
found particularly in Arkansas, Ala.
bama, Georgia and Tennessee. Lead
from the southeastern part of Mis-
souri,, after refining process, gets
into solder together with zinc. Nickel
ore from Ontario is used in the manu-
facture of telephones as a plating for
bright parts and is also an important
ingredient of nickel silver, used in
the receiver and desk stands. There
are some deposits of nickel in Oregon
and North Carolina.
Ali the coal in your house, If you
are fortunate in having any, is not in
your cellar. In case the coal shortage
becomes acute again, it may be
satisfaction to realize that there is
some securely hidden in the trans
mitter of the telephone. A group OF
carbon granules serves to interpret
the meditation of the voice by vary
ing the current transmitted, just as
the voice varies. When one speaks
the air currents alternately push and
let up on these car bon granules, which
come from selected vein Of anthra'
cite in a Pennsylvania mine.
Rubber from the Dutch East Indies
Java, Sumatra, Ceylon, Malaga, Bor.
neo and West Africa is used in form
ing the receiver case diaphragm cup
and earpiece, and is also used in the
transmitter bushings and insulators..
Last m the category Of raw ma
terials which enter into the manu-
facture Of the telephone is paper,
which traces its ancestry back to
vegetable growths in the form Of the
flax plant, which is first made into
linen and thence into paper.
Thus the telephone industry, which
employs over 100000 people in the
United States, secures its products
from all over the world. It is a job
that combines mining, geology, chem.
istry, metallurgy, botany. biology.
Zoology, entomology, geography, and
quite a number of allied sciences. Is
it any wonder that the telephone has
become one Of the most useful instru-
ments in the world?
