There had been a little unpleasant

little person of thirteen going on four

right-and-wrong, policy, diplomacy,
and with conscience which was
working overtime burst out with a
story of some foolish blunder she had
made the day before at school. She
had rectified 1t. ii seemed, very
promptly; but she had made II and
she frankly told of 1t. Her impatient
father had reproved her sharply, and
Polly's eyes had filled with tears.

TELEPHONE WIRE
MILEAGE GROWS
Greater Telephone Facilities
Required Each Year In
the State

Over 100000 miles of copper wire
are used by the Bell Telephone Com
pany of Pennsylvania to furnish tele-
phone service in the state. This Is
enough to build 1000 single lines be-
tween New York and San Francisco.
Growth in the wire mileage Of re-
cent years has been rapid. Previous
to 1922, each year showed a normal
expansion to provide new wires for
additional telephones, but after that
date the expansion was exceptionally
rapid. Businesses recovering from
the aftermath of the war and
the consequent industrial depression
needed more telephones. New COM
mercial enterprises springing up as
they do in a period of general pros
perity added their demands. All COM
bined to enlarge the construction pro-
gram of the telephone company. Since
1922 about 15 per cent of new wire
mileage has been added annually.
Today there is enough copper in the
Bell Telephone lines in the state to
turn out more than 8,400, 900, 900 pen
nies if the metal was turned over to
the United States Mint for this pur-
pose. Laid edge to edge, these pen
nies would completely cover the Lin
coin Highway from Philadelphia to
Pittsburgh. What days ride in an
autorobile-more than $50 miles over
a shining roadway Of copper coins.
Each wear the road gets longer. In
1922. If the road was built from
Philadelphia, it would have extended
seventy-five miles beyond Harrisburg.
Rv the end of 1928 it would have
reached Altoona, and on December 81,
1924 IL would have gone as far west
as Johnstown.
Constant care on the part of tele-
nhone people is necessary to keep this
r.st amount of wire in perfect condi-
zion More than 1900 employees Of the
telephone company devote all or
norton of their time to the main
tenance and care of these lines and to
the upkeep of the other telephone
nlont in order that the business OF
tho state and nation transacted over
teIenhone lines will be uninterrupted.
The weight of the copper wire used
Cor pennsylvania's telephone lines Is
s7 700 900 pounds. Twenty-nine
thousand one-ton trucks would De re-
ouired to carry it. If the pennies
previously mentioned as being made
from this wire were stacked in a
column, 20 feet on side, they would

rnonument. Spread out on fiat sur
saoa they would cover farm Of 755
acres.

she dreaded TO put brake on that
open -mindedness and frankness.
well, dear, II they are things that
really matter tell us, of course. But
we could all spend much Of our time
rehearsing the silly mistakes of our
selves and others and where does 1t
get us? Isn't II better to learn our
lessons quietly and not make the
same blunder twice, than to bore
others by going into details of things
that are over and cannot be helped?
You can always tell me every little
thing, of course, and ! hope you will.

H'THE Duel on the Beach," an oil
painting by Nathan c. Wyeth
is temporarily on exhibition in the
promenade of the Mayflower Hotel
The picture is a dramatic expression OF
a thrilling scene from the romantic
days Of pirate life of the old Spanish
Main, and the artist has succeeded
in filling his canvas with the atmo-
sphere and vivid color Of the time and
the place so dear to the heart Of those
who react to the golden days of Sir
Henry Morgan, Blackboard. and Kidd.
a pirate captain. arrayed in the
captured finery of the commander OF
"A Spanish galleon. is faced with mu.
tiny over the disposition to be made
OF fair captive. and agrees. in ac-
cordance with the unwritten law OF
the Brethren of the Main. to settle
the question in single combat with
tne ledueT Oh Ine inulilPeTs.
This picture was painted for Carl
G.. Fisher of Miami Beach. Fla, and
Montauk Point, Long Island, who
having made numerous voyages among
the islands of the Caribbean, has
made a study of the history and geog-
raphy of tho long-ago storm center
of pirate lore.
Mr.. Wyeth was a pupil or Howard
Pyle and is one Of the foremost of ouI
present-day illustrators and mural
painters. lie is well-known as the
illustrator of many books of romance
and history, such as Treasure
Island" kidnapped" etc. lie has
recently completed large mural paint
ings for the Roosevelt Hotel and the
Franklin National Bank in New York

tional Ba nks in Boston, and the State

an authority on pirates. old ships anC
costumes of the sixteenth and seven

authority that Douglas Fairba nks

set forth large architectural themes,
such as a general view Of Back Bay,

miniature etchings are priced as low
as $l.50, and from that. very small

Among Mr. PloWman's larger prints
are drypoints, acquatints and litho-
graphs. Two or three of the prints
are of scenes in the far West. One

tomb are other subjects
George Taylor Plowman was born
in Minnesota in 1869. He studied in
Paris and at the Royal College of Arts,
South KenSington, London. He has
exhibited at the Royal Academy, the
Paris Salon and many cities In Eng
land and the United States. His works
are included in the permanent collec-
tions of the Library of Congress, the
New York Public Library, the Newark
Public Library, the California State
Library, the South kensington Mu-
scum, London, and the Luxembourg
Paris. He has received numerous
medals and awards. He Is a member
Of the Brooklyn Society Of Etchers,
the Print Makers Society of Califor-
mia. the Print Society of England and
other organizations.

very extraordinary degree"
When an exhibition of Mr.. Plow-
mans work was shown in San Fran
cisco in 1914 the introduction was
written by John Galen Howard. a we'll
known California architect. When
this same collection was shown i'll
Boston last November. the art critic
of the Evening Transcript had the
following to say:
The etchings Of George T. Plow-
man are too well known to need any
introduction. Both through his work
on copper and his written treatises on
the subject he has come to be consid.
cred in the way Of an authority on
etching. For the greater part of the
last three years he has been abroad,
in England. Italy and france, produc-
ing new plates His exhibition now
covering the walls of the Grosvenor
Studios Is the result of the foreign
tr1p-nOt, unfortunately. the Whoie OF
it. Thereby hangs n story. During
the present Spring he returned from
Italy to London to find that his lug
gage i'm storage had been stolen; with
it some 20 plates, fifty drawings and
800 prints. practically everything done
up to that time. In spite of the eff
forts of Scotland Yard, these have not
as yet been recovered.
"The range and extent of the pres
ent showing. produced during the last
few months to retrieve the loss, rep
resents a quite remarkable feat and
also the artists latest developments In
the art of print making, nearly every
branch being represented. y
Venice. the Santa Maria della, Salute
and the Lido are all sources of un-
ending enthusiasm to the artists.
These subjects are once more present
ed in graphic manner and subtle line.

However. the heavier architectural
theme, the chasm of darkly shadowed
street form some of the most pleas
antly recalled Of the exhibitors pre-
vious offerings. OF this nature. In
England and in dry point, with depth
and richness has been made an eX-
cellent plate. 'Shambles,' one of the
most attractive in the show. Another,
showing Scott's tomb at Dreiburg,
Scotland is especially noted.
Though there are evidences OF
study in Rome. Florence. Tivoli. able
plates being produced, it must be be-
lieved the sturdier aspects of Eng
land, association with the men there
giving especial attention to print max
ing, has given the student of Sir
Frank Short a particular enthusiasm.
Two etchings made. directly on the

high commended, as also the series of
Autographs OF Blewbury. the town of
pubs and Hogarth fame. In aqua
tinting St. Malo scenes are rendered.
in pure mezZotint those of San Fran
cisco and Pittsburgh. while in others
the two mediums are combined. These,
with an example of soft ground etch-
ing, prove the versatility of the eX-
hibitor rather than adding fresh lau'
rels to an already extensive showing.

A DISTINGUISHED craftsman,
"A Ferruccio PM. has taken up resi-
dence and opened a workshop in this

Of jewelry. a silversmith of eNcep-

Italian by birth and his training as a
craftsman was in Florence under the
most eXacting masters. Coming To
the United States some years ago, he
settled in Boston. where the merit of
his work won him almost immediate
recognition. He is a member of the
Boston Society of Arts and Crafts,
also of the American Federation Of

of silver and emi-precious stones is
