GREEK WORD "TELE"
HAS A NEW MEANING

The word "tele" comes from the
Greek. Originally It meant FAR" or
distant" but in the modern meaning
Of the word It has come to mean
near"
The telebolos or shouting orator Of
the Greeks, whose range was limited
only by the power of his voice. has
been succeeded by the telephone
which brings near the voice Of the
party far away The Telescopes for
the far-seeing observer OF the Greeks
has been replaced by the telescope,
which brings far of objects near at
hand. Then there was also the tele-
macbos or far-casting bow, the tele-
pompes, or the man who had visited
far lands, the telekleitos or far-famed
hero and the telegonos or far-born
foreigner
The telephone, the telegraph and
the telescope, however, have entirely
altered the meaning of the original
Greek word "tele" Last Of all comes
television which allied with the tele-
phone. completely annihilates dis.
tances so that both the object and the
voice are brought near at hand, even
though they are hundred or thou
sands OF miles away.

tanned. said motor vehicle must be assess
ed on the Montgomery County tax books
and that under the provisions OF the new
Statewide law all tangible personal prop
erty tax due on said motor vehicle must
be paid before an application viii be re-
ceived BY the Motor Vehicle Commission
Of Maryland and said new license tag

change the amount or rate OF tangible per-
sonal property tax on motor vehicles. but
strengthens the method Of collection in
manner intended TO result in the payment

State That is. under the law passed by
the Legislature OF 1927 the Commissioner
Of Motor Vehicles will not issue or transfer
any license tag, certificate or registration

property tax due on said motor vehicle has
been paid. This law requires the County
Commissioners to prepare separate assess
ment books for motor vehicles and permits
the owners thereof to pay the tax on said
motor vehicles separately from other taxes.
Accordingly. il is necessary for each
and every owner Of motor vehicle. owned
in Montgomery County. Of any kind or de-
scriptiOn. to see that said motor vehicle is
properly assessed on the books of the Coun-
ty Commissioners as tax receipts must cor
respond with motor vehicle registration

ment Of State and county taxes. and the

RECEIVER OFF HOOK
SHUTS TELEPHONE DOOR
Failure to Hang Up" at Gloss
Of Conversation Prevents
All Inward Service

Leaving the telephone on hook" Is
sure way of shutting of telephone
calls. When ones telephone is left
on the hook, not only are all inward
calls to that telephone interrupted,
but If it is a party line, 1t is impos-
siple for the operators to ring any
other telephone on the line as long
as the receiver 10 of the hook.
In Maryland, Virginia, West Vir-
ginia, and the District of Columbia,
the territory served by the Ohesa-
peake and Potomac Telephone Com
panies, $1,000 "off hook" cases were
found by repairmen during 1927, 90
cording to telephone officials.
"Of hook" cases are due to a num-
Der Of reasons, but one of the leading
causes is extension telephones The
telephone in a certain part Of the
house may be answered and the party
wanted may be in another location.
The party first answering leaves the
receiver of until the person wanted
answers on the extension station and
in many instances fails to replace the
receiver on the hook. When the con-
versation is concluded, the party who
talked, of course, hangs up the tele-
phone, thinking that the other tele.
phone has also been replaced. Such.
however, Is not always the case, as
telephone repairmen have frequently
found
Other causes of "off hook" cases
may occur when someone is called
away from the telephone in great
hurry and forgets to hang up There
are also many cases in which the sub
scriber thinks the telephone has been
replaced properly, but where, as
matter Of fact, the receiver is virtual
ly removed. In other words, to COM
plete the operation of hanging up the
receiver, 1t is necessary that the hook
come all the way down and thus close
the contact. II this is not done, the
result is the same as though the re-
ceiver were left off entirely.
Many times It has been found that
this condition exists because OF books,
magazines or other distractions being
left near the telephone in such q man.
ner that the receiver only partially
rests on the hook. This results in the
telephone being reported in trouble
Where such cases exist the telephone
Is shut off from further service until
the receiver is properly replaced
This may be dens by bowling" in
the wire chiefs ONCE or sending a
man to the premises to replace It,
The "howling" effect is brought about
by special equipment of the wire
chief which produces a buszing or
bowling noise In the receiver This
will attract the attention OF someone
nearby and will let them know that
the receiver has been left of the
hook.

Dogs an Afterthought
in "Uncle Toms Cabin"

No dogs pursued Eliza over the ice
foe, in the book, and find no hint of
bloodhounGs in the playbills and the
advertising woodcuts until 1879, when
a Broadway company in which Jennie
Yeamans played Topsy introduced
both dogs and horses on stage.
Boys in the North and West grew to
manhood in the belief that the blood
hound is large and ierce-lookng ami
mai rather than the wOebegone, bleary-
eyed, flopeared hound of reality, be-
cause the bloodhounds of Uncle
Toms Cabin" always were Great
Danes or mastiffs.
This was a concession to popular
error. The bloodhound, or trail dog, as
the Southern negro calls him, is mere
ly hound with a specialized nose for
human scents. The dog itself was a
visual anti-climax, and If early tom"
shows employed them they soon
learned their error and gave the pub
lie what II wanted.
A. B. Slower of Boston, a "Tom"
show magnate of the sos, had three
Great Danes that nightly gave every
appearance of being about TO make
mincemeat of Eliza. This bit of real
ism was not attained by accident.
Slower fed the dogs In one fashion
only. Once day he bought them a
quantity of ground meat, which he
divided in equal portions and tied
in three red bandanna handkerchiefs.
Slower hung each bandanna In turn
about his neck and made the dogs,
one at a time, jump for 1t repeatedly
before 1t was given TO them. The
dunest dog soon associated red ban
dannas with meat, and as Eliza was
careful to wear such a kerchief about
her neck in crossing the ice. the Great
Danes leaped at her throat fearsomely.
