WATCH OUT
FOR DEATH
NOTICE GAG!

Every once in a while there
comes something new under the
sun" to extract money from the
public without giving value receiv-
ed. The latest scheme is concocted
by the Death Notice Vulture" who
preys upon people at time when
sorrow is the ruling element Of
their lives.
This scheme has been work
ed on a Las Vegan recently, and
The Age takes this opportunity to
sound a warning, that others be
not victimized in like manner.
The "vulture" works usually from
large cities and covers a large area
Of surrounding territory. He reads
the death notice columns in all the
papers of their area. The next step
is to select names of some Of the
deceased given in these columns:
Then some article of trifling value,
such as a fountain pen or cheap
necklace, is sent by mail c. o. D.
addressed to the one who has
passed away The package arrives
and the sorrowing friends and
relatives, thinking that it may have
been one of the last little whims
of the deceased, pay the postman
the amount of the COD. pack
age. This is the process by which
the Death Notice Vulture is fed by
literally thousands of unsuSpecting
victims
If any cases of this type of pill
ferage comes to your attention, will
you please assist the National Sc
lected Morticians in the following
way:
/. Secure the wrapper from the
package.

Krieger, executive secretary, Ma
tional Selected Morticians, 624 S.

This organization desires to pro-
tect the public from such abuses
as this which arise at a time OF
bereavement, as well as take
leading part in securing just. pun
ishment for the offenders.

NEW LINES
TO EXPEDITE
LOCAL TOLLS
RUSH OF BUSINESS UN.
PREcEDENTED, Of
FICIAL SAYS

So great has been the de-
mand for long distance tele-
phone service out of Las Vegas
since the line was opened for
local users that two additional
circuits were arranged for by
the Consolidated Power and
Telephone Company today. 1t
is expected that these circuits
will be ready for use by Satur-
day according to Sam Lawson,
general manager for the tele-
phone company.
New Stations
Seven pay-stationS are in the
process of installation, according
to Mr.. Lawson. These will be locat-
ed in the Nevada Hotel; Overland
Hotel; National Hotel; Hotel
Northern; Arizona Club and two
in the central office of the tele-
phone company on Second street.
Coin boxes will be attached to
these phones and Mr.. Lawson
wishes it emphasized that by hav-
ing the correct change ready ser
vice will be greatly expedited.
Big Business
Since the long distance service
was inaugurated the local central
office has been literally swamped
with toll customers who forget that
the operators are busy completing
calls and do not have time to make
change or to accept the money for
the calls. Mr.. Lawson states that
the telephone booths are installed
for the convenience Of the patrons
and that all business should be
conducted through the telephone IN
the booth. This will aid the COM
pany in rendering greater and
more efficient service, 1t is stated.
$3.50 Calls
The chief problem which has
confronted the officials Of the
telephone company has been
the number Of calls which are
put In after $3.50 in the even
ing. Due to the low rates In
effect after that time the cir
cults are busy continuously. At
this hour MIR. Lawson asks that
the public exercise some pa
tience until the additional
facilities are ready for use.
Laud Operators
Much praise has been shouted
concerning the courteous and
prompt attention accorded persons
who place long distance calls. The
local operators have been busy
since the long distance service
started but they are to be con-
graduated upon the fine spirit OF
helpfulness and courteous response
to the many demands Of the pub
lie for information. To these girls,
who are asked everything from the
address of man in Michigan to
the correct time goes the bulk OF
the credit for the wonderful start
we have made" said Mr.. Lawson
