TELEPHONE PIONEER
Charles j. Bell, the Oldest Man
in Point Of Service, :
Still Active.

Charles J. Bell. director of the
Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Company and Associated Companies,
and President of the American Sc
curity and Trust Company, Washing
ton, is the oldest telephone MANN
point Of service.
Mr.. Bells connection with the tele-
phone business dates back to 1874
when he, as young lad, was asso-
ciated with his cousin, DR.. Alexander
Graham Bell, inventor of the tele-
phone, while he was making his ex-
periments at Tutelo Heights, Brant-
ford, Ontario.
DR.. Bell was at that time studying
sound vibrations and making expert
ments with the harmonic telegraph.
To produce the vibrations he used a
human ear, to the drum of which was
attached stylus, which recorded the
sound waves on glass plate covered
with lamp black. Mr.. Bell says that
his chief duty was speaking into the
human ear and making photo prints
of the plates on which the sound
waves were recorded for the use of
DIR. Bell.

OPPOSE DAYLIGHT SAVING

Nationwide interest attaches to
the move made by the Massachu-
sets State Grange which has at
tackled the legality of daylight
saving" and will fight its case
through to the Supreme Court. The
7range asserts that no state has a
light to set up a fast-time schedule
a conflict with the Standard Time
aw of the nation, and a decree of
he Supreme Court will be sought
orbidding in future any such local
line standards, either by states or
municipalities. The Massachusetts
Grange has it's case we'll under way,
by seeking in the courts an injunc-
ton against the further enforcement
Of daylight saving" in Massachu-
sets, which has a state statue at
variance with the national time law.
The decision of the Supreme Court
on this question will have far-reach-
ing interest and will settle for all
time the much discussed time issue
in many localities.

VALUE Of health may not be reck-
oned in dollars and cents. Two
thousand years ago there was per-
haps some excuse for the gastronome.
but today there is none. The way to
health lies in a balanced diet. Hip
pocrates, the father of medicine,
figured along the same lines back 450
B. c. He expressed the belief that
the science of medicine had its be-
ginning in the efforts of men and
women to find better and smoother
diets.
Diet in the home today is becom-
ing a matter Of premier ,considera,
ton. Women are taking cognizance
of those important food elements
known as vitamines. They have
learned. also, the benefit to- the hu-
man body of such minerals as iron,
calcium and phosphorus.
This knowledge has resulted in the
housewife planning her menus with an

American family. Milk contains every
structural element for body building.
1t is an almost perfect food. Despite
the best refrigeration facilities, milk
will keep sweet only short time.
Millions of American housewives have
solved this big problem by using evap-
grated milk, which is simply fresh
cows milk sterilized in cans to
achieve keeping qualities and with
sixty per cent of the water removed.
Evaporated milk is not the same as
condensed milk, although many per-
sons confuse the two. The condensed
product Is a combination of milk and
sugar cane in a two-fifth cane sugar
and three-fifth milk proportion. Evap-
GRATED milk has nothing but water
taken from it and nothing at all added
Sugar is the preservative used in
manufacturing the condensed product
while heat only is the preservative
for evaporated milk. For this, reason
the evaporated product may be used
In any way In which market milk is
used.

King Solomon was the first coal
man. But Solomon In all his glory and
wisdom had his troubles just as coal
men have today, for according to the
Bible, Proverbs XXVI-21, GAS Goals
are to burning Goals and wood to fires,
so is the contentious man to kindle
strife" This sentence was written
during the reign of Solomon in 1915,
B. C. His mines were located near
Beirut, Syria where, strange to say,
coal is still being mined.
Solomon with thousand wives to
provide for, must have had a sweet
time keeping the coal bins filed and
providing warmth for his many house
holds. He, no doubt, experienced the
same troubles in having an adequate
supply on hand during the seasons of
the year that heat was required that
people do today, for undoubtedly the
methods of transportation in those
days were limited, and coal could only
be transported in small quantities
from one place to another. Then, also,
the problem of communication was a
difficult one for in that day and time
messages were sent by bearers, and
usually whole delegation went along
to carry presents of wines, silks and
incense to put the recipient in good
frame of mind to receive the actual
message, and. of course, this required
much time and delay.
Today the coal operator and dealer
are more fortunate, for with modern
methods of communication and trans

portation they are able to keep in
touch with supply and demand, and
with this knowledge, furnish an ade'
quate supply of fuel as it is required
AS the prices fluctuate they are ia
miliar with conditions and guage their
operations accordingly.
When your coal supply gets low you
get in touch with your dealer by tele-
phone, and soon the big trucks are
unloading the necessary fuel in your
cellar or factory. But the operations
that make this possible are numerous
and cover much detail
The car supply and adequate rail-
road facilities are necessary to the
movement of coal from the base OF
supply to the consumer, and every
where along the line the telephone, as
a means of communication, is tied-in
with transportation. The United
States has the best communication
and transportation systems that the
world has ever known. No nation.
state or community has ever prospered
that did not have these facilities de-
veloped to high degree.
Modern railroads depend on the tele
phone for train dispatching, in fact
from the dark interior of the coal
mine, miles back under the mountain,
to the superintendent Office, and all
along the route every operation that
brings this fuel to your coal bins, is
dependent on this modern means of
communication.

economics, to use
intelligently that common thing we
call "a pay check" has as much to do
with individual independence as any
other force in life.
The greatest problem Of indepen-
dence of the average man or woman
is how to get out of what they earn
good living and a reasonable degree
Of financial comforts in old age. We
cannot maintain high standard of ma
tional life without an intelligent man
agement of the financial matters that
constantly confront the average indi-
vidual and family. In the accumula-
ton of capital in the hands OF the
masses lies the hope of the true indie
pendence of nations people. The
chief concern of wage earners Is to
get a reasonable degree of financial
independence out of what they actual
ly earn.
This question of how to attain per-
sonal financial independence has not
been worked out on the principle Of
individual responsibility. The most
important social needs today are a
course of instruction in public educa-
ton to give young people practical
notion of how to start life on sound
economic basis; and, secondly, a broad
cooperative plan in American indus
try whereby men and women shall be
helped to work out personal financial
program that will guide them toward
q definite goal of financial indepen-
dence. There ought to be way for a
man, for-every dollar put aside each
week now, to get back four or five dol
lars week forty or fifty years later.
regardless of where he works.
The present policy in American in
dustry of helping employees is based
on the assumption that they will ulti
mately become dependent. Old age
pensions and other forms Of charitable
compensation are to be commended in
lieu of a practical alternative, but in
principle they are wrong and contrary
to the purposes of democracy. What
we want Is an organized plan that
will direct working people toward In
dependence. No system can claim
complete success that does not con-
template the financial independence OF
every employee, according to his abil-
ity to earn. It can be shown that
American employees, with reasonable
prudence on their own part, can reach
fair degree of independence while
they are still working.
There must be injected into our In
dustrial policy an additional economic
element of mutual benefit and perma-
nent value to both labor and capital,
| concerned not alone with the amount
of wages and profits that are earned
but with how these earnings shall be
used. am arguing for an Industrial
..4Iings policy>based upon the princi-
pie of independence. l am arguing
for a new basis Of cooperation in in
dustry, for the elimination or poverty,
and for a practical demonstration OF
economic democracy.
When public education teaches
school students how to manage their
personal affairs intelligently, and
when the heads of firms make 1t a re-
quirement that every young man and
young woman who accepts position
shall be working toward a definite
goal in saving money, then we will
attack economic illiteracy at the
source and begin to save men from the
tragedy of financial dependency.
