PLANE BY BROADER DETECTIVES
Walter Clifford Bell Telephone System Head Thinks Modern
Conception of Countrys Prosperity Is That Well
Being Shall Be of the People, BY the
People and For the People

sources, but power and well-being Of
the nations which stand out in his
tory have rested largely upon treas
ure from conquered territories.
Today In this country the civiliza-
ton that the United States is build
ing up is Of different sort. 1t is not
dependent upon subjugation of other
nations or tribute from them. It is
being built upon sounder and more
permanent foundations. Its economic
objective is as broad as Its political
objective.
The modern conception of the coun-
try is that well-being as we'll as gov
eminent shall be of the people. by the
people and for the people.
Following this line of thought,
President Clifford announced that the
Bell Telephone System. of which he
Is the head, will spend over 500, 000,-
900 In 1880 for plant extensions, adj
ditions and betterments to the tele.
phone systems serving the United
States.
To illustrate the type of progress
made by the telephone industry, he
called attention to the invention of
the telephone by DR.. Alexander Ora
ham Bell little more than fifty years
ago. In the relatively short time
which has elapsed since human
speech was first transmitted electri-
cally, Mr. Clifford said that the tele-
phone business has been so organized
and developed in the United States
that today practically any body, any
where, can talk at any time Of the
day or night to anybody else, any
where else-not only in the United
States, but in Mexico, Cuba, Canada,
and the most of Europe.
The ability to render a service of
this magnitude rests upon a national.
lied organization employing over
100000 American men and women,
operating physical properties repre-
senting an investment Of $4,000, 0OO,-
600 which are owned by more than
SOC, 900 stockholders.
Constant improvements are still
being made in the scope, speed and
accuracy Of telephone service, Mr..
Clifford stated, and new methods of
operation which permit of greater
economy are being devised.
In this industry the ultimate limit
OF progress seems to be as far away
as ever. Only short time ago a new
service was inaugurated-tel
to ships at sea. Insofar as scientific
knowledge is concerned, the Bell Tele-
phone system has already conquered
space and time so that it is possible
technically to establish instantaneous
communication between any two per-
sons anywhere in the world, be either
person or both on land, on the sea, or
In the air.
"As matter of fact" Mr.. Clifford
said. ut is already scientifically but,
not commercially practicable for each
telephone user to see the person with
whom he is talking, but greater scien-i
tlfic knowledge, as previously indi-
Gated. does not always make a new
discovery practicable"

Takes Much Water to
3 Supply Worlds CHI as


Have you any idea how much water
the average city dweller uses daily?
Take London, with its gigantic popu-
lation: Here the authorities have to
supply an area of 558 square miles,
and give the 100000 people the wa
ter they need. Would you have i'm
agined that each Of these demands
no less than SO gallons every day?
Yes, that is only the average supply
per head per day. In the dry, hot
weather the amount required for each
person becomes 40 gallons, or more
than a barrel Of water per day for
each man, woman, and child. London
Is not the thirstiest town. Scotland
consumes more water than England.
In Glasgow and Edinburgh, for in
stance, the average consumption per
head is not SO, but 81 gallons; and to
Helensburgh, in Dumbartonshire, be-
longs the distinction of being the most
thirsty town in the whole Of the Brit
ish isles. Here they take 81.7 gallons
per head. One reason given for Scot
lands large consumption is that the
water supply is much better than in
England.

Prosperity is a modern watchword.
Recent events have served to focus
public attention to an unusual de-
gree upon the immediate future of
business. Commenting on this phase
Of prosperity, Walter s. Clifford, Presi.
dent Of the American Telephone and
Telegraph Company, recently said to
the Chicago Association Of Com
MERGE:
AT such times when perhaps the
present is too much with us, 1t seems
to me to be helpful to take q long
look backward and q long look for
ward. BY doing SO we can refresh
our minds on the sources Of our ma
tional wealth and the prospects for
continued economic progress in spite
of any temporary Embellishments
which may momentarily obscure the
horizon"
This country today, Mr.. Clifford
stated, enjoys an average standard
of living far higher than that which
obtains In any other country at pres
ent or any country at any time known
to history. This condition is often
ascribed to the country's boundless
natural resources.
These resources are important, but
In trying to fashion a true picture,
1t is worthwhile to remember that all
Of these natural resources were here
before the Civil War, and at that
time there was no stream OF foreign
observers landing on this country's
shores to discover the secrets of its
prosperity.
The country had. 1t is true. made
use of the land, cut from the forests,
mined coal, iron and precious metals,
set DIP some manufactures and built
up a prosperity well beyond that of
the Colonial period.
But the possession of natural re-
sources is not guarantee of well
being nor prosperity. Natural re-
sources are but tools for man to use
to reach the goal of his ambitions
Other nations have had natural re.

The Weepina Statue

In the ruins Of Arbroath abbey, In
Scotland, is the decapitated statue Of
a Scottish king. and at his feet lies a
headless lion. This is King William
the First. called william the Lion.
He founded the abbey in memory of
his friend, Thomas Beckett. Here the
king was buried, and during the re-
formation his statue and that Of the
lion were beheaded. It is a strange
fact that II the weather is going to

No Positive knowledge
of Waterspouts' Causes

Waterspouts are masses Of vapor
suspended In the lower layers Of the
atmosphere which they traverse, and
endowed with a gyratory, or spinning
motion, rapid enough to uproot trees,
upset houses and break and destroy
everything with which they come in
contact. When they take place at sea
they present a curious phenomenon.
The water is disturbed and rises in
the form Of an inverted cone. Two
cones unite and form a continuous
column from the sea to the clouds
which are called waterspouts. The
origin is not positively known. One
assumption is that they are due prin-
cipally to two opposing winds which
pass by the side Of each other, or to,
a very high wind which prevails in
the higher regions Of the atmosphere.
Another theory ascribes waterspouts
to an electric origin.

Long Eyelashes Called
Signs of iii Health

Long eyelashes always have been
considered a mark Of beauty, but 1t
remains for Japanese physician to
take the Joy out Of life by pointing
out that they are also sign Of poor
health. Doctor Tamaokl Of the pedi-
atric department of the Kyushu I'm
perial university, has made a two-year
study of about 1000 children and has
concluded that most children with
long eyelashes are in poor health, 1t
has been reported to the American
Medical association.
The lashes Of consumptive children
grow twice as long as those Of healthy
children. Sticky children have longer
and prettier lashes than those In good
health. The lashes of healthy chill
dren will grow about an eighth of an
inch during the first year Of life, while
those Of children suffering from
scrofula grow nearly quarter Of an
inch, Doctor Tamaoki has found. No
explanation Of the cause Of this con-
dition has been made, nor has 1t been
accepted as a definite criterion Of the
state of a child's health.-Kansas

from the crawfish that hold a goose

lucky enough to see the crawfish pa

and their long, stllted legs going up

The procession is single file, the
nose of one crawfish close to the tail
Of the one ahead. Whether It Is a

Long Freight Trains

The average number of cars carried
by freight trains in 1923 was 4S per
train. The Erie railroad ran a train
Of 251 cars, S,5l7 feet long. on July
%, 1914. The train weighed 1892
tons. In November, 1914. the New
Haven ran a train from. Victoria. Va.
to Roanoke of 201 cars. s,4S2 feet long.
weighing l4,573 tons and making the
1913 miles in 7 hours and IS minutes
Both the New Haven and virginian
trains had only four loaded cars. The
Canadian Pacific ran wheat train Of
1876 cars, weighing 1925 tons. This is
about the heaviest train run for that
number Of cars

French Judicial System

The ordinary judicial system Of
France consists of two classes Of
courts-civil and criminal courts, SIM
liar to those in other countries, and
special courts, including those dealing
only with purely commercial cases.
In addition there are administrative
courts, dealing with cases that come
through acts Of the administration !;
also the Trlbuneax des Conflits, whose
function 1t is to decide which is the
proper tribunal when an administra.
tive and judicial court both claim or
both refuse to deal with a given case.
There is also the Juge de Paix, similar
to the American justices Of the peace
and the Court Of Assizes; also the
Cour de Cessation, which Is the high
est tribunal.

In their use of cosmetics. They recog-

fresh the skin. To preserve the COM
plexion, however, they bathed the face
in the froth of beer or with chalk dis
solved in vinegar. The eyebrows they
dyed with juice taken from the sea

greatly admired in women and those
who were unfortunately and unavoid-
ably brunette either lined the hair,
dyed it, or wore wigs.-Detroit News.

Variation in Sea Level

1t is not correct to say that sea
level is the same all the world over.
The land masses rising above the
ocean basins tend to attract the wa
ters and alter the sea level. For ex-
ample, the Andes mountains pull up
the water adjacent to them, as do also
the Himalayas in India. 1t has been
found that the sea water at the mouth
Of the indus is 300 feet higher than
around the island Of Ceylon. In addl-
tion to this attraction by land masses
there are also temporary and slight
inequalities.
