SIGNS ONPoLEs ARE AMENACE TO LINEMEk

later lineman gets rush order to
restore a broken circuit. The trouble
is located on the line at point where
.it is supported by this particular pole
upon which was tackled the enamel
sign
The lineman hurriedly> ascends the
pole, he rapidly climbs hand over hand,
jabbing in his spurs in his upward
climb. spur comes in contact with
the hard metal surface and, not being
able to penetrate it. slides off, and the
lineman unable to cling to the pole
with his hands, falls to the ground.
Metal signs and the tacks of other
signs are the bane Of lineman's exist
aGce. He cannot readily watch for his
hand holds and look below for clear
places to stick his spurs as he ascends
and descends the poles. He may climb
around a sign in ascending pole, but
in coming down there is little chance
for him to avoid the obstruction.
The result is possibly serious fall.
with a broken leg at least and months
before complete recovery and the
least that can be expected is badly
scratched hand and the infection that
usually follows.
The worst sign the lineman has to
contend with is the metal sign bent
around the pole, the kind. it is impos-
,sible to see as he descends. Then
there is the metal sign projecting from
the pole pointing the way to some
chicken farm or gasoline station. It
is bad enough as he goes up the
pole, but worse as he comes down as
unexpected contact may cause him to
lose his balance and fall.
1t does not add to the beauty of the
landscape to place signs on telephone
poles and it is distinctly dangerous to
man who climbs the poles.

three or four years, it was really high
ly developed in 1915. for ten years ago
radio, telephone signals were being
sent from Washington to Honolulu,
Paris. San Francisco--practically as
far as at present. Ten years ago the

It can be seen that the progress o.
radio in the past ten years has been in
making it available for the genere'

people to its use. AS far as its basic
principles are concerned, the work Of
the Bell System which reached its
climax ten years ago still stands as

MEMORIALS IN
EUROPE COME
UNDER U. S. Ban
Pershing Commission to Pre-
vent Excess Marking
of Battlehelds.

| WASHINGTON, May IA. - Steps
to prevent indiscriminate marking
of World War battlefields in France
and Belgium with American memor
iials were announced by General Per
shng as head of the American
Battle Monuments Commission.
Under a resolution adopted by the
commission and approved by Prcsi-
ident Coolidge, no decorative memoir
ials will be approved for erection in
the two countries except such as are
in the nature of public improvements
of use to the inhabitants. The
French and Belgian governments
have agreed not TO permit any mar
Ikcrs to be placed except when ap-
proved by the commission.
Might Exceed Good Taste Bounds
General Pershing took this matter
africa. He told the commission he
was much concerned that so many
American memorials were being
planned for erection in Europe" ad-
Iding that if steps to check the pri.
vate enterprises of states, munich
ipalities, military organizations ana
individuals were not taken. he feared
"the bounds of good taste" would be
exceeded.
1t developed that there are few
French, Belgian or Italian memorials
erected or contemplated in the battle
areas, despite. the fact that the troops
of all three countries sustained
greater losses in the same regions
than did America.
Fought on Historic Ground
Regions over which American
troops fought were historic as battle
theaters in older wars of Europe, it
was held, and these conditions tend
to make even a moderate number
of American memorials conspicuous
and too many would create an en-.
tirely erroneous impression of the
American object in erecting them"

Premier Baldwin is of the opinion
there is no possibility of the two

The railway strike was settled on
the following terms. agreed upon be-
