Nothing Escapes Hearing
 of Los Angeles Zone Girl

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 14.-Daily conferences held after business hours in Los Angeles mount up into the thousands, according to N. R. Pow ley and De Meyers, Southern Califor- nia Telephone officials, who say that around five o'clock every evening several thousand business men call up and inform their wives that they can't get home to dinner usually be- cause of a conference"
 During the brief period between 4:45 and 5:1O p. m., the telephone girls handle more calls a minute than at any other time during the day. ,'' said Mir. Powley. 'The bulk of them are men calling up their wives about not being able to get home to dinner" "
 Various other factors that make the traffic in telephone calls jump and cause switchboards to light up like the proverbial Christmas tree, said MT. De Meyers, are fires, explosions and radio announcers requesting list eners-in to call "and let us know how you hear us' If a day opens with clear weather and rain comes up later the number of phone calls increase unbelievably, the officials said. Every body seems to be calling up to can eel engagements or to rent taxicabs.
 Checking over the 1,75O,000 calls a day the telephone operators say that the popular notion is correct, men cannot compete with women in long conversations.

AMERICAN RADIO PENETRATES WHERE BRITISH CAN'T BE HEARD

LONDON, Feb. 14.-American ra- dio broadcasting stations as a gen. eral rule have a greater radius of transmission than British stations of
 the same power, according to sail orman correspondent of the Daily Mail
 During the last year the Mails cor respondent has made six voyages to the Mediterranean from the United States and has consistently listened
 in on each voyage on his homemade set of four tubes. He was able to
 pick up Pittsburg, Springfield, Mass, and New York the whole way across the Atlantic to Gibraltar, and on one occasion got Pittsburg while in a port on the east coast of Spain. Num-
 erous other American stations were
 picked up at distances as great as |2,500 miles on two tubes, with good results, but when using four tubes the correspondent was seldom able to pick up British stations at distanc-
 es of 900 miles.

HUGE SUMS GO TO REPLACE
 COUNTRY SCHOOLHOUSES

BEDFORD, Ind, Feb. 13.-That the flimsy schoolhouse, like the hickory stick of the Three-R days, is drifting into obscurity, is indicated in a sur vey made by the Indiana Limestone Quarrymen's association, which shows that last year more than 5,000,000 was spent in replacing antiquated school buildings with materials of a permanent nature.
 Reports to the association said that a far greater number of school build ings were replaced than remodeled and that contracts already awarded give promise of 1925 exceeding the pre- vious year in volume of school build ing construction.

Father of Famous Dry Law
 Pleased With Operation

GRANITE FALLS, Minn., Eco. 14.- Prohibition has reduced the prison population of this country and great Iy increased the church membership according to Andrew J. Volstead, for. mer Minnesota congressman and ia ther of the prohibition enforcement act
 Under the old rule of affairs, MT Volstead recently wrote a persona friend, the saloon never Obeyed any law, while now, despite our incieas ed population, there are fewer pris onors, there are fewer pails, by sever al thousand than before"
 There has been a decided increase in the church membership since the eighteenth amendment became a law The average length of life has been increased three years; people are say ing money and buying homes; slums in the cities are no more; gone are the ribald songs and foul stories.
 There is no constant violation of the prohibition law, generally known which goes unpunished. It is unfor tunate that certain large newspapers labor to encourage resistance to law enforcement Nothing is perhaps bet ter calculated to effect that purpose than to extol the alleged high char acter of those who are breaking the law
 That prohibition cannot be enforc- ed; that the difficulties are funda- mental and inherent in the character of the legislation and the nature of the people, is not only clearly dis proved by our experience in the pro hibition states, but by what we have accomplished under national prohi bition.
 Public opinion, reflected in more drastic and adequate punishments, is growing stronger and the organiza tion for enforcement is steadily i'm proving and becoming more effective

ouarternaster General Gives
Rules for Applications by
Kin of Dead

OF much interest to veterans and
men still in the army Is the an
nouncement just made by Quarter
master General William Hart rela-
tive to Government provision OF
headstones for graves of former sol
diers and sailors.
S The uuartermaster general, when
ever requested by relatives or
friends of q dead soldier or sailor.
viii deliver a headstone free OF
cost at any railroad station or
steamboat landing. provided assur-
ance is given that the stone viii be
properly erected. Blank forms are
issued by either the War or Navy
departments giving all necessary
s Information. General Hart, in a
3 circular 1ust issued says:
when an application is received,
the first step Is to verify the name
and military service by the official
records. Frequently, on account iof
differences il spellings or BECAUSE
an incorrect organization is given,
s Il becomes necessary to return the
Application for additional Informal
ton. When the military service
and name are found to be correct
the applicant Is advised that the
military or naval service Of the
decedent has been duly verified and
the application win be filled in its
regular order.
Requests are received for thou
sands Of headstones annually. and
considerable time is required to &C.
scurately list the names and COM
plefe the records. It is, therefore,
impracticable for the quartermaster
corps to fix any definite date when
8. lleadstone will reach a point of
delivery"
General Hart especially urges
that no duplicated request be made,
as this only serves to tsbaIl up the
records and delay action on the
original request.
