ANYWHERE TO ANYWHERE TELEPHONE
There is a way to SAVE
on your LONG DISTANCE CALLS

ISN'T this about the way you make most of
your long distance calls2
When the operator. answers you tell her I
uant to speak TO Jobn Z Epans, the Ajax Manufac-
turing Company, 234 Pearl Street, New York
City" She must then connect you with Mr..
Evans and no one else.
Here is way you can do much of your long dis
lance telephoning for less money and with greater
speed. Mr.. Evans is probably in his office when
you make your call and if not, someone else can
talk for him. Then why not tell the operator I
want anyone at the Ajax Manufacturing Com
pany, OF simply give her their telephone, mum
Der if you know it. On call of say $50 miles to
particular person, the charge is $I.2o, the rate
when we simply connect YOU to the om-of-town
teletbone is CSC.
The first way of calling is termed tersont0-tsrson
service; the other and simpler way is saton-to-ta
tim service. The latter makes less work for our
operators with less use of our lines and we pass
the savings along to you.
Think of this when you are making long dis
lance calls, either business or social. Telephone
users are turning more and more to stat0n-to-sta-
zion service speedier and cheaper way of doing
their long distance telephoning Over half the
messages we now handle are on this basis.

Those who interpret the presi-
dental opinion usually follow his
words so closely that they lose the
true meaning of them. They at
tempt to see motives hidden in them
which do not exist. They know
President Coolidge has a keen sense
of publicity and a more than or
dinary intuition of its results.
Some of the newspapermen who
have been with him for years have
even called him the greatest show
man on ear3h," because of his
ability to sense public feeling. They
argue that the President merely put
out the statement as a carefully
worded document to quiet the talk
about a third term" and to stop
the line, of political opposition
which theoretically has chased him
into a corner.
There are others who say these
arguments are fallacious and
shrewd politicians here agree with
them-because man who says he
is not a candidate for Office loses
90 per cent of his political
momentum. He opens, they say, the
way to other candidates who other
wise would stick under cover.
The truth of the matter Is, ac-
cording to reliable information
furnished the United Press, that
Mr.. Coolidge is getting just little
tired of the job which has dis
abled physically or hindered tie last
two Presidents.
Lines Craven in Face
Since he came out here lines can
be diScerned in his face which never
we're seen there before. His health
is good, according to his personal
physician, DR.. James F. Coupal, but
the doctor doesn't attempt to state
his worries and tribulations.
If President Coolidge was not
serious when he handed out those
slips Of paper, he is a better actor
than yet has appeared on the movie
screen. The solemnity with which
he lined up the correspondents, the
realization of the Importance OF
this statement so gagged that he
made it after the close of the stock
market, and his trembling fingers
as he handed it out told more to
those who received it than it did to
those who read it.
There are politicians who suspect
President Coolidge is dissatisfied
with the outcome of the Geneva
disarmament conference. 1t Is true
that he, piqued by troubles which
every president of the United States
cannot avoid, was sorry to see the
conference which he had thought
would develop his program OF
prosperity. near a deadlock.
Can Be Drafted
There are many who think that
his announcement should result in
reaction favorable to his can
didacy and that the next national
convention could acclaim him and
convince him that he is the man for
the job.
Despite insinuations of politicians,
impartial observers here THINK tnat:
/. He can be drafted, despite his
statement.
2. He made his statement in good
faith, desiring to retire from the
presidential chair.
3. He does not care if his closest
friend is sighted by the statement.
4. He will take the consequences,
no matter what they may be.

Resignation Given Johnson,
Who'll Turn 1t Over to
Safety Board.
SILENT 'AT THIS TIME
They Can't Step on Me for
b Long, Declares Former
Detective Chief.

Claude M. Worley, reduced from
detective chief to- lieutenant Tues
day by the board of safety, pre-
sented his resignation from the po-
lice department to Chief Claude F.
Johnson today.
johnson said he would turn the
resignation, addressed to the board
Of safety, over to the board at its
meeting next Tuesday. The resigna-
ton read:
Gentlemen: Kindly accept my
resignation, to take effect immedi-
ately."
WorIey did not report for duty to-
day. He went to police headquar-
ters about 10 a. M, gathered up his
personal belongings and left after
giving Johnson the resignation.
Cant Step on Me"
He refused to comment on the
boards action except to say his rec
ord speaks for itself and he had no
statement to make "at this time, :"
and declaring "They cannot step on
me 1Or long.
Political observers saw the denlot-
ing of Werley as a climax to a long
personal fight between Johnson and
Worley. It was understood Johnson
told the board he would assume all
responsibility"
Although Board President o. D.
Haskett ordered the newspapermen
barred from the session, grapevine
information was that John "A.
George baked on the plan to re-
move Worley. It was said he con-
RRurred with the boards wishes"
khen threatened with a demand for
his own resignation.
Lieut.. Fred Simon, who headed the
detective bureau in Jewett admins
tration, was made acting detective
chief with the $4,000 salary of the
chief, on recommendation of john
son.
George Not Asked
George appeared fretfur when
asked if he had resigned.
"I have not been asked to-" he
replied.
Following the secret session
George walked over to johnson and,
pointing his finger, said, Il have
something to say to you"
What he said was not heard.
Safety board members had con-
ferred privately with Mayor Duvall
before the regular meeting. Duvall
said he had no hand in Worley's
removal.

of safety" the mayor said.

man.
Councilmen Aroused
Councilmen Otis Bartholomew,
Boynton Moore and Walter Dorsett,
majority leaders, were aroused over
the boards action.
Worley formerly was special in
vestigator for Criminal Court. He
is close friend OF Criminal Judge
James A. Collins and Republican
City Boss George v. Coffin and his
mname was linked with D. g. Ste
bhenson. Worley apparently also
was close to Duvall.
Since the start of the administra-
ton when Worley was slated for
the police chiefs post, there have
been several splits between him and
johnson.
Worley was appointed police chief
a few weeks ago after Duvall and
Johnson made a trip to Chicago
