ONE REASON FOR REPORTS OF
TELEPHONE OUT OF ORDER"

In replacing the telephone receiver
on its hook hurriedly after a converse.
ton, 1t happens sometimes that the
receiver is allowed to rest on book
or other object, so that the hook re-
mains elevated just as it is when the
receiver is off the hook, as result,
the signal light on the switchboard
does not flash to notify the switch
board operator that the subscriber has

Telephone Company states.
When this happens to you, your tele-
phone is cut off and no one can get
you. The operator will perceive that
something is wrong after time and
try to attract your attention by means
of the "howler" which makes an audi

These plans come from every group
In American life. Some are obviously
from lifelong students OF history and
international law. Some are from per-
sons who have studied little, but who
have themselves seen and felt the
horror Of war-or who are even now
living out its tragedy.
] But among them all are these dom
inant currents: that, If war is hon
estly to be prevented, there must be
face-about on the part of the nations
in their attitude toward it; that by
some progressive agreement the man
ufacture and purchase of the muni-
tons Of war must be limited or stop
ped; that while no political mechan-
ism alone will insure cooperation
among the nations, there must be
some machinery OF cooperation II the
will to cooperate is to be made effec-
tive; that mutual counsel among the
nations is the real hope for bringing
about the disavowal of war by the
open avowal Of its real causes and
open discussion Of them: and finally
that there must be some means Of
defining, recording, interpreting and
developing the law Of nations.
Statement Of jury of Award

According to the latest statistics on

fewer than eight telephones for each

telephones per 100 people in the

WOODPECKER IS AND
LIGHTNING RUIN MANY
TELEPHONE POLES

A news item from Olympia, Wash,
states that, 10000 cedar telephone
poles in that state are being replaced
and that two out Of every ten have
been rendered unfit for service by two
causes, woodpeckers and lightning.
The white-headed woodpecker has an
avidity for boring the poles full Of
holes. As cedar is not attacked by
insects, naturalists advance the theory
that the woodpecker digs the holes as
storage places for nuts, berries and
other food.
In the foothills Of the mountain
ranges lightning plays havoc with the
telephone poles.

The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1924-01-11

The only possible pathway to inter
national agreement with reference to
these complicated and difficult fac
tors is through mutual counsel and
cooperation which the plan selected
contemplates. II is therefore the
unanimous opinion Of the Jury that
of the 22,165 plans submitted, Plan
Number 1859 is 1.-The best practicable
plan by which the United States may
cooperate with other nations to
achieve and preserve the peace Of the
world"
II 10 the unanimous hope Of the Jury
that the first fruit Of the mutual eoun.
sci and cooperation among the nations
which will result from the adoption Of
the plan selected will be a general
prohibition Of the manufacture and
sale OF all materials Of war.

To the average American Thomas
Paine is known merely as an "infidel.'
He has been told that Paine wrote
book entitled "Age of Reason" that as
sailed orthodox Christianity. Me may
not know that two decades before the
"Age of Reason" Paine, native OF
England, wrote pamphlet that started
the American colonists really to think
of separating themselves from Eng
land and joining themselves together
as a new nation, says the Detroit
News. When the revolution first start
ed 1t was only revolt against oppres-
sive measures of taxation and unjust
political discrimination. Even WASH
ington as late as May. IT'S. declared
himself against separation.
Then, early in January, 1776, Paine
published Common Sense" in which
he not merely proposed an Independent
nation to the dissatisfied colonists, but
raised the rebellion to the higher
plane of war for liberty. Washington
was converted Immediately. Paine de-
clined to accept any profit from the
work for himself, but gave all the
financial proceeds to the patriot cause.

highway aid were advocated at the
convention of the American Associa-
tion of State Highway Officials held a.
New Orleans for the mutual prof.
of more than l3,CG3G00 American mo-
torists and all the states." according
to Charles Nj. Be bcock, Minnesota
commissioner of highways and former
president of the organization.
Discussions of good roads plans, poll
cies and progress of the association
made up the major part of the pro-
gram. Delegations from nearly all
states in this country and from several
Canadian provinces and European
countries We're in attendance.
"The tax on automobiles now tnkea
five cents of every dollar paid for new
automobiles tires and accessories and
three cents Of the new truck purchase
dollar" said Mr. Babcock. This rev.
enue since 1917 has totaled $5S9,012,-
021, against s264, ,7S2,216 of federal
highway aid appropriations during the
same period. The government is there
fore using less than half the amount
collected directly as taxes from high
way users in the manner to give them
the most direct benefits.
"Besides these federal taxes, auto
owners are paying county, township
and city taxes, wheelage taxes, gaso-
line taxes and other levies on their
cars.
''The most constructive policy de-
mands increase in federal highway
aid appropriations, and certainly in
sums closely matching federal income
from the automotive source. Any
other puts our government in the posi-
tion Of retarding highway develop
ment, standing in the way Of the cat
and truck owner, who would advance
the good roads program along the most
sound economic lines"
