The floor lamp and Clarence fell over

to suspect something was amiss.

MELLON THINKS CAPITAL
WILL GET USED TO DIALS
Says He Has Never Heard "Kicks''
on Automatic Phones in
Pittsburgh.

Secretary of the Treasury Mellon
thinks Washington eventually will get
used to the dial telephone.
The dial has been in use in his home
city of Pittsburgh for several years, the
Secretary said, adding that he had
never heard any "kick" about it there.
The dial, as compared to the old sys-
tenn, the Secretary thought, was rather
nuisance, but people soon get familiar
with it.
In the Treasury Department Mr..
Mellon himself does not use the dial, the
operators making all his dial calls for
him, but the Secretary added that he
knows how to dial and has used the dial
phone in Pittsburgh.
Then he added In jocular vein, cat
least It's better to use the dial phone
than to have to 60 out in o cab to see
