Annunciator at Old Ogden
Station Goes to Museum.
Represents Landmark
i'm Electrical Industry

If you were travelling salesman
in the far-away days of the SOS, the
COS, or Whereabouts, making the rounds
out in the mountains of Utah, you
probably will recall checking your bag
and your worries many-a-night at the
old Union Pacific railroad station and
hotel at Ogden.
With this picture clear, you will
further recall. perhaps, an instrument
at the clerks desk, looking much like
the time punch-clock of today, which
buzzed you from your dreams OF
"home, sweet home" in the early hours
of the morning and reminded you to
be up and going after the elusive
order.
The old Ogden station and hotel are
no more. Still hanging grimly to life,
however, is the ole friend, the needle
buzzer-retired, of course, but reflect
ing gladly on duties faithfully and
punctiliOusly performed.
After more than forty years service,
this old annunciator was retired invol-
unfairly about a year ago, when the
Ogden station was burned to the
ground.
Invented, developed, and patented by
E1ish Gray in the carly seventies
one of the original founders of the
firm of Gray & Barton, whose mem

MIND READER
DRAWS SENTENCE
(By Associated Pressl

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla,
May 26.-Pete Jenkins, a negro
"mind reader and the worlds
mystery man." was arraigned in
court here on charges of d.
tributing cards on the streets and
doing business without a license
and operating a confidence game.
"If you are a mind reader"
said Judge Harry Hauck' "what
am l going to fine and sentence
you?" The negro, who professcd
to tell one all their troubles, cure
all diseases and show one how to
obtain a fortune, admitted that lie
did not have his machine" with
him and so could not read the
judges mind.
The judge spoke his mind and
sentenced Pete to a fine of $25
and 80 days in Jail.

Top: Showing cid annunciator sys-
tenn as it was used at Ogden Sta
ton and hotel. Bottom: Front view

toric landmarks in the development of
the electrical industry.
The annunciator had a thirty room
call. 1t was installed, according TO re-
port, at the time when the Markell
system of hotels and restaurants was
operating on the Union Pacific lines.
1t provided a dial showing the number
of each room, and was used as a call
system for guests, for signalling dan
ger i'll case OF fire, and in calling the
office for bellboy service.
At the time this annunciator was
made, it constituted one of the most
active lines in the electrical business
of those days. To install it electri-
clans were sent all the way from Chi
cago to Ogden, a distance of some
! 800 miles. An indication of what a
simple electrical installation meant in
those days!

CLINIC OPENS
THURSDAY AT
HIGH SCHOOL
DR.. F. L. FORT OF STATE DE-
PARTMENT OF HEALTH
DUE TO ARRIVE HERE TO-
MORROW

DR.. F. L. Fort, orthopedic sur
geon of the State Department of
Health, will arrive in Key West
on the early morning train,
Thursday, May 81, and will begin
the examination of the crippled
children at 10 o'clock a. m. until
11:30, beginning again at 2 O'Clock
in the afternoon.
The clinic will be held at the
Monroe county high school build
ing and will continue throughout
the day, or until every child has
received a thorough examination
and the parents advised of dag
nosis and treatment necessary.
Parents are requested to have the
children at the high school build
ing on White street promptly at
2 p. m. The morning hours will
be devoted to the children who are
attending school.
The school nurses, Misses Alice
and Agnes Evans, will be directly
in charge of the clinic, with Mrs.
Catala as interpreter and Miss
Curry acting as stenographer. A
complete history Of every case will
be taken, together with recon-
mendations for treatment. -.
DR.. Fort will be the guest of
Frank Ladd at the Rotary lunch
con, and will address the Rotar-
ians on the value Of the boy, and
especially the efforts being put
forth in the conservation Of child
hood. You who are Shriners know
more of what is being done for
our crippled children than any one
else. The great work is just be-
ginning, but thousands Of children
have been treated, and 'the light
that was never on land or sea-
has been made to shine on the eyes
of many boy and girl when first
they realized they were not to lead
sad and broken lives, but to be
healthful, normal creatures as
their Creator intended.
God plants ability in unexpected
places, and in helping these child
rem to lives of usefulness you may
be remaking the world. We can
not set price on the life of a
little child, for behind that child
ish face may lie dormant the
genius of Calico or the character
of a Woodrow Wilson. If we can
save to the world just one such
life the service is well worth many
times the money that might be
spent for disqualification and treat
ment.
A wonderful opportunity is this
for real service-a lasting and
constructive service that will carry
on throughout the ages. And in
this service to little children the
Shrine Hospitals are leading and
lighting the way.

DOWNTOWNSTS.
PUT FIRST

Should the Senate subcommittee
on District appropriations add $780,
900 to the fund for the street re-
pair program, Lieut.. Col. J. Frank
lin Bell, the engineer Commissioner,
said today that the money would
be used entirely in the downtown
section of the city.

ness section are flom 80 to 40
years old and in a deplorable con-

D. K. FARE GUT
FOR CHILDREN

Many weeks of hard work by
the public utilities subcommittee
OF the House District Committee
today came to close when the
committee voted for reduction Of
fares for school children and for
reorganization Of the Public Utili-
ties Commission.
The subcommittee authorized its
chairman, Representative Frederick
n. Zihlman of Maryland to prepare
bill providing for a separate
Public Utilities Commission to act
Independently Of the District Com
missioners. The bill also will
create the office Of peoples counsel.
Abolish Bridge Tax
The subcommittee also voted to
abolish the half-cent tax imposed
upon street car riders crossing
Highway and Key bridges. 1t re-
ported the Moore bill for this pur.
pose, with an amendment providing
that the relief should be passed on
to car riders through reduction Of
LareS on highway Bridge. Inc tax
on Key Bridge is collected separ-
ately through the sale Of special
tickets and no change Of fares will
be affected there.
The new Public Utilities Commits
sion to be provided in the COM
mittee bill viii be composed of three
members at salaries Of $500 a
year each. The Peoples Counsel
will draw the same salary.
BIanton Proposal Unheeded
The commission will be instructed
that 1t is the wish of Congress
that the provision be made immed-
lately for reduction to half fare
for District school children. Repre-
sentative Blanton Of Texas, moved
that the commission be instructed
to act for a return to the charter

action was taken on his proposal.

SCHOOLS SAFE,
SAYS BELL

Engineer Commissioner J. Frank
lin Bell today denied that reports
Of fire hazards in the public schools
were Startling"
"It must be expected" he said.
"that same hazards will be found in
so large a group of buildings, par
ticularly public buildings used by
children. Inspectors under Ugh
conditions are oftentimes rather par
ticular, too"
Colonel Bell explained that appro-
priations for remedying these con-
ditions were spent where it was
thought they were most urgently
needed. The most conspicuous
dangers are attended to first, he
said, and when our money gives
out some conditions may be left
which could be considered fire
hazards.
No extensive campaign to make
the schools impervious to fires will
be started, Colonel Bell declared,
but wherever danger is imminent
steps will be taken to right the
situation.

STRIKE DELAYS
|. D. c, BUILDING
By Underwood = Underwood

Work on several large local build
ing opera tons, including the Wash
ington Building, at New York
Avenue and Fifteenth Street North
west, and several school projects,
was halted temporarily when the
10 members of the local Steam
Shovel and Hosting Engineers
Union went on strike today.
The union men refused to work
when the steam shovel and hoist1ng
engineer subcontractors refused to
renew, at $12 day, $10~a-day con-
tract with the union, which expired
at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Rufus J. Lusk, secretary OF the
Operative Builders Association, said
today that, while his association is
not directly concerned, it is giving
what support 1t can to the sub
contractors affected. The subcon-
tractors who have agreed not to
meet the unions demand for in
creased wages, under any circum-
stances, employ so Of the no mem
bers of the union, Mr.. Lusk said.
Nonunion labor is being employed
by the subcontractorS as fast it can
be found, Mr.. Lusk said, and this
will continue to be the contractors
policy unless the union recedes from
it's demands. he said.
Union officials stated that most
of their members had been re-em-
ployed at the rate of wages asked
for, and they were confident that
their demands will be met ultimately
by all the subcontractors.
The Washington times., 1926-04-01

It was learned that during the
months of April and May, 1925, the
nine double-deckers earned a gross
return equal TO that of the SO
single-deckers operated by the bus
company and that the operating
costs OF these nine buses amounted
to only about one-third Of the ex-
penses Of all the one-story ma
chimes.
1t was pointed out that the rea-
son a profit was shown by the
company last year was because the
double-deckers carried such a large
number Of passengers during the
summer months, whereas, this year,
these buses are more worn out
and, consequently, will not see the
same amount Of service.
The objections to the double
deckers do not balance the benefits
derived, it was indicated, hence the
| commission is expected to recon
slider its denial of a few weeks ago
and grant the transit company'5
/ request.
Although the North American
Company installed capable, expert
enced men as. officials of the bus
company when the management
| changed hands. these men are not
familiar with District operations,
It is said.
Therefore, the possibilities resulting
from altered routes, changed rates
Of fare and experimental equipment
peculiar to this city, have not been
wholly revealed, Commission Of
ficia1s point out.
The reports Of the bus company
for January and February have not
shown a sufficient return on a fair
valuation warranting a fare reduc-
ton, 1t Is said, nor will the March
reports make any material change.
However, should permission be
granted for the addition of six or
more new double-deckers, it is IN
derstood, slight reduction may be
hoped for.
