SUPREMACY
UNCHALLENGED

In the United States a system of
telephone management and inter-
connection has been established that
gives almost every user the advan-
tage of great national organization
with all the inventive genius, the
financial strength, and the service
that can result only from elimina-
ton of foolish, irresponsible compe-
titiOn. In the old world the tele-
phone service is divided among num-
erOus companies, none of them being
able to afford the Capitalization and
cooperation of facilities that is nee
essary for rapid, efficient and reas-
Onably priced service. The differ
ence in method parallels the differ
e1ce in result.
We can be proud of the initiative,
ambition, Industrial acumen and in
telligence that has made such
growth possible. Our telephone su-
premacy is remarkable and unchal-.
lenged, as our 11O,OOO,0OO population
enjoys the use of so per cent of the
worlds telephones.

GOVERNMENT MUST NOT
BE TAKEN FOR GRANTED

The average American citizen
takes his government too much for
granted. Lewis e. Pierson, Presi-
dent of the United States Chamber
of Commerce, warns the people that
I'VE are drifting more and more to
legislative action under pressure of
special groups-ecOnomic, religious,
social or sectional-and are forget
ting the fundamental principles On
which this country was founded"
Referring to great deficits created
under governmental operation of in
dustries during the World War per
iOd, Mr.. Pierson said:
1.-The real disaster to American
rights was the encouragement which
these government ventures gave to
the growth of bureaucracy and to
the blurring of the sharp lines be-
tween the pure functions of repre-
sentative government and the rights
of a free and progressive people.
"The greatest responsibility of
American business to our govern
ment, is the duty of recalling gov
ernment to those great and dignified
purposes for which that government
was created"

A Real Economy
Two pounds of fresh peas, shelled,
at IS cents per pound, give 13
ounces of edible peas. 1t would
take slightly over two pounds to
produce 1877 ounces. Hence slight
ly over 80 cents worth of fresh
peas Cor about 81 cents worth) is
required to give the same guam

gestions, even directions and COM
mands, which it may not be wise
or even possible to follow.
No one person in the car has
the same angle of vision as the
driver. The distances which he
judges with his eye often seem
quite close to those in other seats
in the same vehicle. Even so, the
manoeuvres should pass without
comment, for that one outcry of
distrust, or expression of lack of
confidence, may be the cause of
making the driver swerve ever so
slightly to the right or left. thus
spelling his own judgment and
causing an accident.
Driving in traffic is a job which
demands attention and confidence,
and anything which tends to break
this attention or destroy a drivers
confidence in himself is unsafe
for all concerned. The person who
interrupts this continuity of coordi-.
mated action. is really a menace to
himself and others.

ECONOMICAL STREET AND
ROAD IMPROVEMENT

Addressing the American Society
for Municipal Improvements, at Dal-
las, Texas, William H. Rhodes, of
New Orleans, said that in the South
thousands of miles of gravel roads
and streets are being salvaged with
waterproof asphaltic surfacings.
More and more city officials are
beginning to realize that on many of
their streets, especially in the resi-
Dental sections and in parks, it
would be a very reckless waste of
funds to tear up and throw away
the existing gravel base, said Mr..
Rhodes.
In this section there are several
cities which have surfaced their old
gravel streets in the manner men,
toned above, and a number of the
most beautiful drives in the South
have been developed this way.
This type of pavement is especial
ly adapted to communities where
there is an abundance of gravel.

Spring is everywhere around us and
We long to serve spring greens =

TRAFFIC TALKS
THE BACK SEAT DRIVER

Back seat driving-the giving OF
directions to the driver of a motor
car by others in the car, is a well
known automobile joke. But it is
more than this. It is a real evil
which results in more accidents than
can ever be traced, especially when
the car is in heavy traffic.
On trolley cars, in elevators and
on public busses there is almost
always a sign which reads: DO
not talk to the operator" This
sign is placed by the company in an
effort to safeguard the public by
aiding the driver il. his duty Of
concentrating on his Job. 1t
assumes, and rightly, that conver-
sation is a bar to concentration.
There is no reason why the same
rule does not hold good in the driv-
ing of pleasure cars. Aside from
the annoyance of having a steady
flow Of conversation directed to one.
which cannot always be answered,
and often not even understood,
there is the danger of being in
fuenced by specifically wrong sug-

There has been a big increase in
bank robbery according to reports.
Of course this will eventually be
blamed on the tariff. If it were not
for the tariff the people wouldn't be
prosperous. If the people were not
prosperous the banks wouldn't be
full of money, and consequently
would not be worth robbing. This is
a perfectly logical free trade argu-
ment for reducing the tariff.

THERE should be no studied effects
in the youthful wardrobe. Simplicity
of style as well as material is the
guiding note that is followed by all
clever mothers in dressing their child
ren. Nothing is smarter for the very
young than a straight little dress that
hangs straight from the shoulder. The
little frock above is made different"
by bands of trimming that finish the
sleeves and square neck. From the
corners of the neck. bands run down
the front and end in inverted pleats.
Prints are very suitable for children
and there are many figured materials
designed especially for them. Cotton
prints, trimmed in plain color to har-
monize with the figure make this de-
sign an ideal play or school dress.
Little One-piece French panties to
match afford excellent protection and
