post shoulders of the
men and women who construct, operate
and maintain the telephone system that
the brunt of such activities fall.
Disastrous storms and floods have
occurred recently in various parts OF
the country, and in nearly every case
mention has been made Of the service
rendered by telephone operators and
linemen. The operators sit coolly at
their switchboards sending warnings
to those in the path of the rushing
waters or call for help in time Of
storms. On the heels of such dis
asters come the repair crews, men
ready to work day or night, to keep
up the lines so that the messages
may go through.
The loyal telephone men and WON
en- who maintain service, restore
broken lines and keep the switch
boards in operation in great emer-
gencies seem to consider their actions
as all in the days work. They do not
seem to feel that they have rendered
any spectacular service or given more
than their everyday devotion to duty.
1t is on these men and women of the
telephone system that the public re.
lies, unknowingly in many cases for
the news of what has happened in
emergencies. Such service is depend.
able and the public has long since
come to accept it as such.

have a far better idea of what to ex-
bin to be introduced in the Senate when

length and In detail from Senator Reed
Smoot Of Utah, chairman Of the Senate
finance committee, who has been di-
recting that committees task Of re-
writing the Hawley tariff bill. The
Utah Senator arrived at the camp yes

It is expected that this discussion will

Famous Surgeons Reveal Trip to

BY the Associated Press.
MONTREAL, August 3.-Montreal
harbored, for a few hours today, two
world famous surgeons, the Mayo
brothers of Rochester, Mimi, who re-
turned today on the liner Montrose
from a visit to England.
It was generally thought the prin-
cipal reason for the visit Of these
famous men was to attend and read
papers at the British Medical Associa-
ton meeting last week. DR.. VIII Mayo,
Just after the ship tied up. explained
to the Associated Press that In reality

work understood to have been agreed
upon by Senator Smoot and his commit
tee members, more especially Senator
Shoots plan for q sliding scale rate for
sugar. It Is known, however, that the
President does not want general re-
vision Of the whole tariff, and that he
has warned those in charge OF this legis-
lation to guard against this and to be
careful not to be too reckless IN increas-
ing rates.
Wants adequate Protection"
Mr.. Hoover is known to favor re-
vision that would afford adequate pro-
lection for agriculture and all other in
dustrieS that are in need at this time.
Although he never publicly has said so,
the impression has been gained recently
that the President Is not going to great
ly concern himself with any particular
schedule in the tariff bill, and that he
Is not going to 60 to the mat with Con-
his own particular liking. But it is I'M
derstood by those who have his conf
dence that he Is going to insist upon
the elastic provision giving the execu-
tive authority to increase or decrease
rates to certain amounts, greater lati-
tude than now is the case. Also, the
President has indicated that he wants
greater powers given to the Tariff Com
mission.
The Presidents public attitude has
been that the making of the tariff Is
the duty Of Congress and that 1t would
neither be graceful nor considerate on
the part Of the President to interfere,
at least to the extent Of expressing his
views publicly. He appears to be con-
tent to let his public position, ex-
pressed in his message to Congress
when he assembled 1t in special session
stand, until the time comes for him
to do some signing. The occasion OF
Senator Shoots visit to his camp af-
fords him just desired opportunity to
go over the schedules and to acquaint
the finance committee chairman with
his opinions respecting the more i'm
portant schedules.
Heavy Rain Drenches Camp.
The word from the Presidents camp
last night was that with the exception
Of an hour or so In the early afternoon,
there was a heavy downpour of rain

dent and the members Of his party

the brief let-up in the rain, the Presi-
dent and Mrs. Hoover and several of
their guests went for horseback ride
