The telephone ,oas the deciding factor
In this outstanding engineering teot,
the chief engineer states.
In the construction of the new Car
Quinez Bridge, recently opened for
traffic across the Craquinez Straits be-
tween Crockett and Vallejo, Cal, the
largest bridge Of it's type in the world,
the telephone proved to be an indispen-
sable tool and, in fact, If it had not
been for the telephone the bridge
could not possibly have been COM
pleted so soon.
This bridge Is 4482 feet in length,
contains two spans HOO feet each, has
a center tower of $50 feet, two anchor
arms Of 500 feet each, and 1882 feet Of
approach on the Crockett side. The
only bridges that class with the Car
quinez Bridge are the Firth Of Forth,
Scotland, and the Philadelphia and
Camden. The Quebec Bridge is
neither as large nor as long as the
Carquinez.
To facilitate the construction Of this
gigantic structure the erecting COM
pany had control system of it's own
with twelve telephone stations. 1t was
necessary to get into communication
with the erector crews on the north
side, 80 a two pair cable was laid on
the bottom Of the Bay. A ship drag
ged an anchor through 1t and it was
replaced with another, but the swift.
running current soon wore 1t out on
the rough rocks.
After the center tower Of the bridge
was erected, the engineers strung q
messenger wire overhead and carried
both the telephone and power cables
on 1t. The chief engineer declares that
the telephone was the deciding factor
in the raising of the two great sus.
;, pended spans, as they allowed each
crew, each foreman, and the chief en-.
giner in charge to be at all times in
direct communication with each other
and, therefore, every move was known
by all and everything worked In uni
son.

POLITENESS PAYS

why cannot our thousands Of re
ligious and social organizations train
the people generally in politeness," ID
the question asked by E. w. Howe'i
Monthly. The statement follows:
"a sordid commercial company has
trained thousands of young women in
agreeable politeness.
"The missionary work done by the
telephone company is a valuable ait
to its business: it helps the girls, fol
there is no more agreeable virtue than
politeness.
IF religious and social organizations
would teach politeness as we'll as the
telephone exchange and add a few
words as to the equal Importance Of
fairness, industry, temperance, thrift
surely God and his angels would ap
prove.
For it is politeness to get along
in this world, and not be burden
or bore to Others"

IRELAND FOLLOWS U. 8.
EXAMPLE FOR FARMERS

A recent report to the Department
of Commerce from the United States
Consul at Dublin says that "the Irish
farmer will soon be able to enjoy the
luxury of party line telephone II
plans of the Free State Post Office De-
partment work out. The Post
Office Department has made good prog
ress in carrying out its $2,433, 900
scheme Of telephone development. = /"
About 80 new exchanges have been
opened, bringing the total to approx
mately 320. In January, 1926, there
were $50 public call offices in opera
ton, and the number of telephone
subscribers was $4,000"

Corn Irregular.
BIZ United Press

By United Press
CHICAGO, July 6. - Splendid
weather in all parts of the wheat
belt brought on hedging by north
western and southwestern houses
today and wheat dropped sharply
on the Board of Trade. Corn was
irregular under conflicting influ-
ences. Oats dropped in sympathy
with wheat.
Late in the day wheat was down
rs to 1asc; corn ranged from &c
of to sc up; and oats was off Is
to 1ssc Provisions we're I'M
changed.
Wheat closed 2 to 21sc off; corn
ranged from sc down to &c up,
and oats was o: q to 1Tc. Provi-
sions were unchanged, to &c higher.
Trading in wheat was active early
in the day but quieted down in the
afternoon. Receipts at four prin-
cipal southwestern terminals Thurs
day were 1882 cars, and arrivals to-
day were reported to be almost as
large. Northwestern and southwest
ern houses were again selling. The
cash market was u to 1c lower. Re-
ceipts were only car.
Tightness in July corn was again
an influence in that commodity.
Favorable weather was reported in
all sections. There was a good cash
demand with the cash market
steady to 1c higher. Receipts were
so cars.
Liquidation in July oats continued
today. New oats we're reported cut
near Decatur, Ill. Receipts were
IA cars with the cash market un-
changed.

In the Stock Market
lBy Thomson g. McKinnon

NEW YORK July 6.-Whatover nervous
ness was occasioned by the increase in
brokers loans. spent itself in the initial
transactions. this morning. Generally
selling was limited to the market leaders,
moderate IN quantity and had the ap-
continued strong until mid-afternoon when
selling made its appearance, which was
reported as professional selling. Atten-
tion was attracted to the railroad issues
which were more active and stronger than
usual. Evidently this is an acknowledge
ment of promising outlook in industrial
and commercial quarters and a reflection
OF an increasing business for the roads
which accompanies such improvement.
Other groups. sue has the motors, utilities
and chain stores are reporting increased
profits for the first half of the year and
those stocks were strong and active. Oils
too were in demand. Call money was in
fair supply and at a lower rate than yes
terday while time funds showed the first
signs Of becoming easeir by slight conces-
sions in ninety-day money. Generally
speaking. the supply of stocks at current
prices remains limited
