P0STAE COMPANY
MAKES ENTRANCE

tai Telegraph Commercial Cables
/; Company will enter the, radio busin-
ess. 1t has acquired for that pur-
pose the radio system of the Federal

J The announcement of the Mackav
Companies, made by George V.
cLauh,in. vice-president, indicates
the intention is to expand the radio
service of the Federal Telegraph
which now operates a point-to-point
and ship-to.shore service on the Pac,
ific.
"The contract said Mclaughlin.
"will enable the Mackay system to
offer to the public a complete land
! telegraph, ocean cable and land and
ocean radio service, and this places
/ the Mackay system in the position
of being the only communicative
system offering comprehensive
service
Under the contract, the terms of
which We're not entirely made pub
ia tht hdChd. conipduits are given
the right to purchase radio and other
apparatus from the Federal com
pany and use it without fear, of in
tringement of patent rights. Short
and long wave radio transmission
thus becomes available to the Mae.
kay companies.
Heretofore telegraph companies
had taken the position that radio
communications had not vet been
developed to a point where it would
compete with telegraph and cable
communication. Mclaughlin allud-
ed to the question in his statement.
He said it had not overcome AL
the difficulties presented in. giving
Il quick, reliable commercial service.
II can, however, be used by the
Mackay system to supplement its
present communication system, and

visitors into the city room.

Brooks had said. 1.-THE Waldens did
not spare us in the makinng Of
spectacles and sensations, and Well
not spare them!'
The very air that hung over the
roof of the Catawba City Times
building seemed to presage the
tragedy of coming events. True, the
sun HAD filtered in through Teddy's
window that morning as if pledging
a days brightness. But by noon a
sickly leaden fog half obscured the
daylight. No breeze came in
through the high, wide windows,
thrown open in the city room.
Things seemed to be standing still,
The hour hand on the clock
touched las p. m. The spectators
and the participators in the little
drama gathered one by one. Roger
Brooks. Donald Keene, Teddy Far

Attorney Bolton had arrived early.

the little sob sister was dressed in

frock of crepe de chine was a
marked change from the reporters

But was not this gala day, a
triumphal day? At 2 o'clock, Teddy

she reflected, with stir of pride,
she had been in part instrumental

Alexander Pope, if you'll remember,
said: Vice is monster of so

oft, familiar with her face, we first

The fascinating young district at

her. 1t brought out strikingly his
heralded winsomeness. One found
it easy to understand why sob sis

Every 'Leatherneck' Post in
Country to Be Visited by
British DOG.

NEW YORK, July 2.-"Private
Pagett," just arrived from England
to become the second mascot of the
Marines, after brief rest in Wash
ington, is to start on one of the
most reckless journeys ever taken
by bulldog.
He is to visit every Marine port
in this country, as well as the Ma
rines stationed in the West Indies,
so that all may have chance to
see what fine gift the British Roy
al Marines picked out for them.
A real "leatherneck" is to be his
escort, and the fortunate man will
soon receive careful instructions on
taking care of a pedigreed Eng
lish bulldog.
Private Pagett's" taste is said. to
be most varied, with great prefer
ence for vegetables and eggs, when
properly prepared, and slight
preference for marmalade.
On the expedition he is about to
make private Pagett" will be "the

The Marines have now two mas
cots. After the death of Sergeant
Major Jiggs" they acquired Ser
geant Major Jiggs H." The Royal
Marines were meanwhile collecting
their coins for the purchase of a
real English bulldog.
There is not going to be any
misunderstanding of duties between
them," says Major Fegan. "'Ser-
geant Major Jiggs II still will have
his duties to perform. He will be
the athletic mascot, whose duty it
is to accompany the football, bas-
ketball and other teams"
Major Fegan declared that the
two mascots would not even be in

for it, so far as he was concerned,
that never the twain shall meet"
He wouldn't risk the consequences.

On several occasions we met him.
Mr.. Jesse Binga was the first person
