ToaT men, With little IN common
except a capacity for almost super
human Faith, laid the foundations
Of the vast organization which to-
day provides America with q ma
tion-wide telephone service.
These four men were the tele-
phones inventor, Alexander Ora
ham Bell; his young assistant,
Thomas A. Watson; and two hard
headed New England business
men, Thomas Sanders and Gardi-
ner G. Hubbard. 1t was they who,
sixteen months after the original
telephone patent had been granted,
undertook the development of
Bells invention on q business
basis.
Each gave 10 the enterprise his
own unique contribution: Bell, the
imaginative, who had drawn aside
the curtain and revealed the prin-
eiple Of the electrical transmission
Of speech: Watson, the practical,
skilled of hand and filed with the
pride Of tzae craftsman In q job
well done, who had transformed
Bells vision into an instrument
which really talked; Sanders, the
substantial man Of means, who had
given Of his substance, and given
again and again, IN order that the
telephone-but a puny child at first
might not die In infancy; Hub
bard, the man Of personality, of en-
thusiasm. with q wide circle Of in.
fuenhal acquaintance and the
knack Of making use of them when
difficult things were to be accom-
plished.
Months before the telephone
came into being Sanders and Hub
bard had become interested in the
scientific experiments OF the dark
haired, dark-eyed young Scot. Bell
had made his home with Sanders

NEW YORK JOINS
FIGHT ON CHICAGO
Six States Charge Illegal Di-
version of Great Lakes
Water by City.
By the Associated Press.

ALBANY, N. Y, October 19.-The
State of New York yesterday formal.
ly instituted action to prevent diver
sion of water from the Great Lakes
st. Lawrence waterway.
Joining with five other States, New
York, through Attorney General Of
finger, filed at Washington a suit
against the sanitary district Of Chi
cago and the State OF Illinois to en-
Join diversion. The United States
Supreme Court last week gave per.
mission for the suit.
The complaint points out that the
sanitary district has reversed the flow
of the Chicago River into the Missis-
stppi River, abstracting by this means
from 5000 to 10000 cubic feet of
water per second from the Great
Lakes-St. Lawrence waterway.
City Called Defiant.
1.-THE action of Chicago" Attorney
General Ottinger said. prevents a
case Of a municipality in open de-
fiance of law wilfully violating the
rights OF the Great Lakes States
The commerce on our great inland
oceans is in the neighborhood of 1885,
100000 tons per year, exclusive OF
the Canadian coast trade. The re-
cent report of the engineers of the
bHitCu oIdlcS III'iI NIiC
benefit to the Nation in direct say
ings is at least $125 900. 900 per year.
This same engineers report esti-
mates that the loss on this amount
caused by the diversion at Chicago is
about $325,000 per year for each thou
sand cubic feet per second diverted.
Power Phase Argued.
Chicago took the water purely to
save itself, at the expense of the
Great Lakes States, the cost of in
stalling modern sanitary sewage dis
posal works. The first use of any
waterway is for sanitary purposes.
but 1t is the recognized rule of law
that at the end Of such use the water
must be returned to the watershed.
THE sanitary district of Chicago
also claims that by means of this di-
version power Is generated. Aside
from the illegality of an abstraction
Of water for such use, the same water,
II permitted to flow in it's natural
course to the sea over the falls of
Niagara and down the rapids of the
st. Lawrence would produce many
times the power that can be obtained
in the vicinity of Chicago"

Hair Is Turning White.
Mr.. Savage has a typical railroad
mans face, rugged, weather. beaten
and genial. His hair Is turning white,
but his complexion is ruddy and his
eyes twinkle.
During the war he was first lieu
tenant in the 55th Engineers. He
served in France from July, 1918, to
July, 1919. He Is known throughout
Legion circles as a "go-getter" and
for the kindly bluntness that charac.
terizes his speech.
He has climbed slowly; through the
ranks of the Legion. He was organ

Now, I am going to give lot Of
attention next year to caring for the
children of our soldiers who died in
France or who are confined in our
hospitals" he said "My wife thinks
I should do that. We have been mar
ried 16 years, but we have no children.
and for that very reason we both feel
that we should do all we can for
these children who have been deprived
of their fathers and of the oppor-
tunity their fathers could have given
them If they had lived"
Aims at 100000 Members.
I'VE are going to find suitable
homes for these orphans, and give
every one of them a mans and a
woman's chance in life"
Commander Savage said he hoped
