SQUIRRELS al"

A telephone wire might be termed
a public highway, but rather a high
way of speech than one for transpor-
tation.
However, this fact does not seem to
be generally known, at least not
among our animal friends. From VIII
mington, Del, comes the story of a
squirrel that travels mile every day
by telephone wire for its meals, crawl
ing all the distance along the wires.
William Krause, grocer, some little
time ago coaxed the squirrel down
from a telephone pole by Offering it
nuts, and since then the squirrel has
made its appearance every day. Out
of curiosity, Krause followed 1t one
morning and found that Its nest was
in the woods fully a mile distant

SOMETHING NEW
UNDER THE SUN

An unusual use Of telephone service
was recently demonstrated in Rich
mond, Va, when ]. c. Lawrence, presi-
dent of large rubber company, "at-
ended" a conference in that city by
ong distance telephone from Chicago.
Mr.. Lawrence was unable to reach
richmond in time TO attend a sales
mems conference in the ofices OF
Richard Gwathmey & Co., local dis
ributors for his firm, because OF
rain wreck Not wishing to delay the
conference, he Immediately arranged
with the telephone company for a long
distance line to Richmond.
The telephone company arranged
for a quick installation Of special ap'
paratus, including eleven headsets' at
Richmond, the headsets being so con-
nected that each man at the confer
ence could hear Mr.. Lawrence from
Chicago.
The conference was conducted by
9. C. Toone, secretary-treasurer OF the
Richmond Company Mr.. Toone con-
yersed with Mr.. Lawrence, and then
Mr. Lawrence made his talk, which
continued for forty-seven minutes.
All the statesmen heard clearly, and
the conference was considered as sue
cessful as if Mr.. Lawrence had been
there in person. All questions of the
statesmen were relayed by Mr.. Toone,
as he was the only member Of the
conference in Richmond equipped to
talk to Mr.. Lawrence.
1t is believed that this is the first
conference held over 50 long tele'
phone circuit, and requiring special
facilities. Its importance was due to
the fact that the Richmond company
was making it's annual special drive
for business, and Mr.. Lawrence wanted

COOLIDGE REFUSES TO

But ASKS LEGAL POWER

WASHINGTON, Jan. 49, Presi-
dent Coolidge reiterated to callers
at the White House today his be-
lief that no good purpose would be
served by either congress or the
executive attempting to intervene
at this time In the anthracite coal
strike. 1t is notable that this state
ment is given out just following
Lewis refusal to call out the main
tenance men.
The Pennsylvania legislature is
now considering the situation, it
was pointed out, and the president
believes Il unwise for any federal
action to be taken until the state au-
thorlties have exhausted every
means of restoring peace" in the
anthracite industry.
II congress wants TO do some
thing, the president told visitors, 1t
might adopt the recommendations
the White House sent up months
ago giving the president power to
intervene in coal strikes.

denounce as a traitor,
These students reafilrm the state

invitation Japan invaded Manchuria
with an army of from 10000 to $4,000
soldiers who, dressed as Changes Chi;
nese troops, defeated Kuo's march on
Mukden.
Kuo's army. tho, defeated, remains
powerful, having been reinforced by
portions OF the armies of Feng Yu-
hsiang. The students are due to hold
great demonstrations at Tientsin and
Picking and then enter Kuo's army to
fight against Chang. Many Of them
are the sons of wealthy Chinese.
