AT LAsTi DANA's DOG


BROOKLYN. N. Y.-At

century,
A man was arrested here
December II for biting =
dog.
Il was on December II,
1882, that Charles A. Dana,
publisher Of the New York,
Sun, gave to the world his
famous formula Of what
constituted 'nows."
"If a dog bites a man 1t
im't news; il a man bites a
dog, It Is news"
And over since that day
aspiring cub reporters have
hoped that q kindly ProVi-
dence would lead them to an
authentic version Of that
hypothetical yarn.
Forty-four to q day after
Dana's remark, Louis Recao.

here on complaint of the
Society for the Prevention
Of Cruelty to Animals,
charged With biting dogs.
He bit the tails from pup
pies to gvs them that fash

was charged.
He told the judge he bit
the tails off because that
method was more humane
than cutting. He was r0-

Money flowed freely in Noga-

loans on United States adjusted
certificates. There was string
OF soldiers, principally from the

from 9 a. m. until the bank closed
at p. IN. Any incorporated
bank or trust company can mako
the loans. The amount loaned
yesterday ran far into the thous-
ands.
There should be law against
the running at large of vicious

ed him by the collar did he let

dog, several days ago, bit a child,

Telephones III the forests may seem
out of place to the layman but if he
should ask any forester, ranger or
fire warden what his greatest aid
is in fighting forest fires, he would
very likely hear him specify the
telephone.
The national and state forests in
Virginia, and West Virginia, and the
state forests in Maryland comprise
about 100000 acres of timber land.
In this vast area there are 76 fire
towers and lookout stations all Of
which have telephone connection
with central Offices of the Bell System
or their connecting companies or by
forest fire service telephone lines to
points of connection with long dis
lance circuits. Several thousand miles
of telephone lines can be utilized by
the forestry departments of these
states. The forest supervisors, rang
ers, and wardens of these forests are
frank to say that the telephone is
their main dependence in summoning
help to meet the emergencies that
arise when forest fires occur.
There are no national forests in
Maryland but the state Forestry De-
partment supervises the protection of
about 100000 acres of timber land
and ]. R. Curry, assistant state forest
er at Baltimore, in commenting on
the value of telephone service in
forest protection recently said:
ut is universally recognized by
forest fire protective organizations
that the time elapsing between the
start of the fire and the reporting of
the fire to the agency responsible for
the suppression is a most important
factor. In this phase of the work the
telephone is indispensable. Every
lookout tower must have telephone.
Without a telephone it would be use
less. In all sections where there is
telephone communication present ev-
cry warden has telephone. 1t would
be difficult indeed to imagine any
forest protective organization existing
without this means of communication.

of Maryland receives. in ali cases, ex

offices. Every telephone directory in

THE CHALLENGE OF THE
STANDARD.


Jesus came into a world where
there had been utter failure. The
Jew knew the law He had studied the
prophets and his learned scribes had
told of the application to his own
daily affairs in so minute a fashion
that his knowledge had become a bur-
den. He was hemmed in by rules
instead of finding great laws that
would become highways for the spirit.
He had utterly failed to reach the
standard that had been set up for his
following. Now when one is at
tempting to jump bar and has fail
ed again and again to reach its level
our policy is to lower the bar until
it is within easy leaping distance and
push 1t upward as skill increases. And
Jesus would have had a glorious fol-
lowing if He had done the same thing.
If He had said: "You have failed to
come up to the level required through
the endeavors of centuries, we will
lower the standard until you can
reach it." And that is the tendency
today. Not prohibition, but give US
light wine and beer, is one of the de-
mands of the present hour. If you
can't reach the level lower it until you
can. In place of such course, Jesus
took the bar and showed it higher than
ever. Instead of accommodating Him
self to mems wishes, he cried, "You
shall be perfect even as your Father
in heaven is perfect" Men gasped,
but the audacity of it has called forth
mems highest efforts ever since and
has resulted in all that is good in

Teamwork is the keynote of success.
Every business, industry or individual
that has ever amounted to anything
had to have coordination and team
work to bring about the results OBJ
tanned On investigation you will find
that the success of any industry is
dependent on the teamwork of the
several departments Or with the en-
ployees in each individual department.
The successive operation CT a utility
depends on the teamwork of its en-
ployees.
A homely illustration of teamwork
was impressed on the writer num-
Der of years ago while driving with a
gentleman behind a pair of horses
who were of about equal size and
speed, but one was lazy while the
other, attended strictly to pulling her
part of the load. The horse on the
near" side threw her weight into the
collar and kept it there while the off
horse had to be touched up with the
whip every once in while. The gen.
tleman accompanied each KICK or the
whip with a firm admonition do your
duty SAM which always brought
about results for the time being, but
must be repeated often. In working
with people during the past quarter
of a century the writer has often been
struck with the similarity of work
men to that team.
As an example visualize the opera
lions of the telephone system, which
has made neighborhood of the
nation. There could be no telephone
service without the switchboards and
associate equipment, the poles, wires,
cables, conduit lines and other plant
over which the conversations are car

things to be considered are the mum.
Der of people in that particular COM
rnunity who may be expected to re.
Quire telephone service at the present
time or within the near future. An
other factor which is given serious
consideration is the number of people
who may locate in this community
within five, ten, fifteen, or twenty
years and the class of business which
they will operate.
With these facts in hand the en-
gineers figure from past performances
in other sections what may be eX.
pected in the way of telephone growth
and what revenue may be expected
from the service which will be fur
nished
After this is done other engineers
must figure the construction costs Of
building the necessary plant including
switchboards, frames, batteries, poles,
cross-arms, wire, and cable, and the
maintenance and operation of the sys-
TEN. When this is completed and the
officials pass on the estimate the work
is authorized. Then the supply de-
partment must be called on to fur
nish the material with which the plant
will be constructed. After the in
stallation is finished the system j.
turned over to the operating an
maintenance departments who must
carry on the service and see that the

Greater use is now being made OF
