Entire Road To Be Repaired.

The Rockville Georgetown pike, which
has for the last year been in a dangerous
state Of repair, will at once be placed in
first-class condition over its entire length.
The State Roads Commission announced
some weeks ago that the four miles from
Hamiltons to Halpine would be improved
to conform to the section between Hamil-
tons and the District of Columbia line,
and at the same time it was stated that
the section between Halpine and Rockville
would be similarly improved just as soon
as funds were available. 1t was not thought
however that Rockville Halpine section
would be improved until next year at the
earliest, but the County Commissioners at
their weekly meeting Tuesday decided that
the reconstruction of the entire road should
not be LONGER delayed. and passed an order
advancing to the State Roads Commission
the necessary funds for the construction
of shoulders and other repairs to the sec
ton between Halpine and Rockville. Work
on the road began at the lower end last
week, and 1t is understood will be pushed
rapidly to completion.

The Ten Commandments ConuinR
To Washington.

Manager W. H. Rapley, of the National
Theatre. Washington, announces that Cecil
B. De Miles production of THE Ten Com
mandments' will play a short engagement
there beginning Monday evening, Septem-
Der goth.
The well-known movie epic has had
run of more than 500 consecutive presen-
tations in New York. where it has been
on view at the George M. Cohan or the
Criterion Theatres since December 81.
1928. The Washington premier will be
distinguished among the other openings of
the season by having visiting orchestra
of DR.. Hugo Riesenfeld's musicians to play
the Riesenfeld musical accompaniment.
and the original stage effects of the Cohan
Theatre.
The outstanding figure of the first part
of the story is Moses, the Lawgiver, who
is enacted by Theodore Roberts. After
perturbation of the great Old Testament
scenes surrounding the giving Of the Com
mandments, the ancient theme merees into
a modern story of what happens to Com
mandment breakers and Commandment
keepers in the life of today.
This modern part enlists the services of
a number of young stars who are picture
favorites, including Leatrice Joy. Rod La
ROGUE. Nita Naldi, Richard Dix. not for
getting Agnes Ayres, who appears in
short but beautiful New Testament Sc
quence. The action centers around the
building Of great cathedral in San Fran
cisco, and Miriam priestess of the Golden
Calf in the first part (Estelle Taylor) is
reincarnated in the story of today by the
Chinese fortune-seeker, Sally Lung, played
by Nita Naldi.
There will be performances twice daily
during the short run. Contracts between
the Erlanger booking offices in New York
and Mr.. Rapley preclude the presentation
Of THE Ten Commandments" in any other
Washington playhouse until 1925.

his Arst experience with the telo-
phone, which had been invented only
4 few yesrs before and which, at that
time, had not az yet become widely
known. A public reception was ac-
corded General Grant in Platteville,
aud Uhils 1t was taking place he was
informed that some gentleman from
Lancaster, Wisconsin, desired to talk
to him over the telephone, this being
one of the first liRss, II not the FIRST,

NEAP0LIS BANK

In the construction of the Federal
Reserve Bank of Minneapolis the tele,
phone is being used as means of
signalling to the hosting engineer,
and, as a result, one man has been
able to direct all the signalling for
the construction of the building.
1t has proved a particularly happy
way OF gaining efficiency in the hoist
ing and setting Of the nineteen-ton
stone drums for the huge columns of
the bank. The man who directed the
operation carried a portable telephone
with him to his vantage point, and
the hosting engineer had receiving
set clamped to his ears. Smoothness
and nicely of operation, not to be
equalled by the ordinary signalling
methods. yas the result

CHICAGO FOLK
TELEPHONE TWELVE
YEARS EVERY DAY

Telephone conversations in Chicago
are now so numerous that If all of
the calls made each twenty-four hours
could be combined into single con-
versation, it would require 6,250,000
minutes, or nearly twelve years. AT
this rate, Chicago does three and a
half centuries of telephone talking in
a month and reels off more than AZ
centuries of wire conversation every
year
The number of telephone conversa'
tions each day in Chicago is more
than 100000, or over 1,000,000,000

Rain Delays Water Street Work

The contractors met their first de-
lay on account of rain Thursday, and
no work could be accomplished on
Water street. 1t was planned TO be-
gin the cement work Thursday
morning, as the mixer has arrived
and everything is in readiness. this
will probably be started this morn
ing If the weather is fair. Water
street is indeed a one way street now
as the workmen for the y. and h.
Street Railway have been Obliged TO
dig up a portion on the other side
of the tracks, this combined with the
piles of gravel makes IT impossible
for two cars to pass. When car
stops even for n moment at this sec
ton, 1t is no time at all until a line
of impatient drivers are behind him,
waiting to get by. The Electric
Railroad has a separate crew at
work, that has no connection with
the contractors crew. These men
are putting in new ties where they
are needed, and are leveling the
track as much as necessary.
The rapidity with which the work
has progressed has made it neces-
sary to add another traffic officer 10
the corps in the person OF Francis
Monaghan who is stationed at the
foot of Winter street.

Outing Postmen
At Peacock Tavern

The annual outing of the Welfare
Association of the Gardiner Post
Office was held Wednesday evening
at Peacock's Tavern. with every
member of the local force, and also
number of substitutes present. A
shore dinner was served at $50.
with all the usual courses to which
the boys did full justice. Postmaster
c. J. Bragdon was introduced. and
outlined the history and value of the
organization. Charles Ruiz, n mail
carrier on Staten Island. was q
guest of the local organization and
gave a few remarks. Vocal solos
were rendered by Tom Connors in
his usual acceptable manner. This
organization is formerly for the
purpose of establishing relation be-
tween the employees, and to give
an opportunity to discuss new rules
and regulations which are constant
ly being issued from Washington.
Through this Association the force
is able to meet any emergency that
may arise with a spirit of cooper
alton, and as they have shown in the
past can usually carry on any extra
work. Meetings are held once a
