Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, April 1S. Cases
against $50 alleged Volstead law vio-
lators will have to be dropped in Fed
eral District Court here unless Frank
B. Pullen, who. prohibition agents of
the Washington flying squadron
said, acted as a buyer" for them, can
be located.
He was reported missing by the
police yesterday when several eases
were called and is the second buyer
to vanish within the past few weeks.
Like George Randolph. colored, the
other missing buyer" who vanished
after having told agents his life had
been threatened, Pullen left no clues
as to his whereabouts.
Without testimony by Pullen sa-
loonkeepers who are convicted in
cases in which he aided will be sub
ject only to a fine, as they can only
be tried on the evidence of having
possessed liquor.
The charges of selling intoxicants,
with Jail penalty for conviction, can
not be proved without the testimony
of the buyer"

When He Buys From the

GENERALLY IS LOSING GAME
Method OF Doing Business IL Very
Different When You Purchase
Goods From Your Home
Merchant.

When you were q youngster, did you
ever make trade, "sight unseenT
OF course you did. What boy has not
risked his jackknife or his choicestm mar
|ble on such a proposition and how Oft
len has he repented of his rash deed
when he discovered what he got in the
trader He generally found that the
IDEAL turned out to the advantage Of
1.-THE one who made the proposition.
There Is little of the gambling In
woman and child, but even the hard
Tened gambler likes TO get run for
ibis money" The "sight unseen" prop
Iosition doesn't appeal to him in the
least. There are thousands of people,
however, who would be properly indig-
nant If they were accused of being
gamblers, who every day take chance
ION the greatest gambling game In the
world. And worse than that, they are
Irisking their money on "sight I'M
seen" proposition.
When one of the thousands Of per-
sons who build up and keep up the
lgreat mail order houses of the country
Isends his money away to pay for some
larticle that he has selected from the
mail order catalogue, he Is taking a
lchance on getting what he expects to
tget. The mail order house may be
perfectly honest and still the purchas-
err stands a good chance of not get
Ting what he expects to get. The mail
Iorder catalogues are filled with pic
lures that catch the eye. The de-
Iscriptions are brief. as they must be
when thousands of articles are to be
described within the confines of one
book. No matter how hard the mail
Iorder house might try to tell the truth,
1.-THE whole truth and nothing but the
truth, 1t would be an impossibility.
THE buyer is simply taking a chance.

How much more satisfactory 1t Is

which liked very much. Please wrap
up one for me. Here's the money!
The merchant would think that youl
were crazy, but that is exactly what
you do every time you send an order

chance of getting your money back III
the article Is unsatisfactory when III

How different is the proceeding
when you go into the store In your
own home town to buy O suit OIL
clothes, or a stove or q yard of ribbon.
You may have seen picture of 1t in|
the merchants advertisement In the
home paper and you know that, as the
merchant is reliable. you can count on
the goods being as he represents them
In his advertisement. But does he ask
you to take his word for everything
Does he hide the article behind the
counter and tell you that you can't
even see 1t until you buy 1t and pay
over the money for it7 Hardly. Ii
the article is not already In plain sight
on the counter, the merchant produces
1t for your inspection. II 1t does not
exactly suit you. he has others that
are little different and that he is glad
to have you inspect.
Get Merchants Guarantee.
Then, If ii is a suit of clothes you
are buying, or piece of dress goods
or a pair of socks, you may ask II the
merchant will guarantee that 1t will
wear as long as an article of that kind
could be expected to wear and he will
tell you either that he will guarantee
1t or that he will not. II he tells you
that he will guarantee II you will know
that you will get your money back or
another suit or another pair of socks
in It's place If 1t doesn't wear like 1t
should, for the merchant, besides be-
ing an honest man in most cases, can.
not afford not to make his word good
He Is dependent upon your business
and that of others In his own commu.
nifty and he cannot afford to misrepre-
sent his goods.
After having all this opportunity to
see what you are buying, you take your
suit or Your stove or whatever 1t is
you buy home or it is sent home fol

after you get home and take another

Extensive additions are being
made to the private telephone sys-
tenn by which the operating sub
salaries of Public Service Corpora
ton of New Jersey conduct their
manifold activities For some time
the system has been, in point Of
mileage and area, the largest OF its
kind in the world, and when the
extensions now under way are com
pleted, it will be one of the largest
private systems in point of equip
ment, also.
Thirty-five exchanges tap the
principal operating and commercial
centers of Public Service through
out the state from Ridgewood on
the north to National Park on the
south. They are connected by tie
lines used exclusively for the trans
mission of company business so
that rapid communication Is as
sured.
Roughly, there are 1900 stations
and zoo central office trunks in the
system, with eighty tie lines, repre-
senting about 1900 miles.
To relieve the present congestion
and to provide capacity for future
business growth, the main tele-

it is expected, about August Is.
