USE PHONES AS ALARMS
Patrons Avoid Paying for Service
by Refusing to Answer Calls.

NEW YORK (NANA). - Every
morning a young man in a large office
calls up over his company's telephone
lines and on the company's time 10
girl friends He merely tells them it's
time to. get up. Saves them buying
alarm clocks, and they'd rather hear
hts voice.
AS every one knows, there's no charge
at either end if nobody answers the
telephone when it rings. With this fact
in mind a number of persons arrange
to have their friends call them at what
ever hour they wish to be awakened.
The telephone rings, they wake up
and don't answer, unless there is con-
siderable ringing, in which case it
means somebody really does wish to
do some talking. But if the custom
spreads the telephone company really
is going to do something about this
nuisance.

No Hope For HefIin

United States Sen. Hugo L. Black OF Alabama.
Speaking Of the investigation into the election in which
MS former colleague, James Thomas Helm, was de-
feated BY John H. Bankhead, regular, saw no hope
Tor Helm at a recount OF all the ballots cast. For in
stance:
The recount In the ten counties selected by Sen.
Heflin has not demonstrated any fraud and corrup-
lions. 1t must be apparent now that a complete re-
count would not transform Bankhead's majority Of
10000 out OF 100000 votes into a majority for Hef-
lin"
James Thomas Is on the outside looking in. He was
on the inside looking out for "A years. He viii lose

publicity he will receive. Publicity is milk and honey
70 James Thomas. He loves 1t as a chorus girl loves
her painted face in the news picture. He is not the
only politician in the land who Graves pictured publ
city. Trained Washington correspondents are known
TO feed 1t to the president OF the United States. 1t Is
an old custom. 1t began in washington's day. It has
been carried down the corridors for $50 years. DR.. Mark
Sullivan, Frank Kent and William Hard are among
the masterful as well as the most artistic daubers.

Hearse Driver Gave Pals 500
Party 70 Celebrate Winning S25,-
900 Derby Pool, Then Learned
IL Was a Hoax
NEW YORK. June lot was
the recent practical joke" expert
ence OF a MaEhattan hearse driver
that led to the spinning OF the
forthcoming yarn.
III you missed the hearse driver
story, then briefly 1t went like this:
After the Kentucky Derby, q note
arrived telling the young man that
he had won a certain pool OF s25.-
600. The New York newspaper
carried his photo and interviewed
him on what he was going to do
with all that money; he drew 500
from the bank and gave all the
boys a large party that highland
the next morning learned that Ii
was a hoax arranged by the un-
dertaking parlor lads. seeking to
anus themselves between funer-
ais.
At any rate, several OF us were
lounging on an elaborate moving
picture set over in L-toria, L. T.,
when Charlie Ruggles, the charac-
ter comic. recalled a practical
joke" tale Of the old theater. 1t
was back in Los Angeles when the
old MoroSco was operating as a
popular : priced stock company
theater. Louis Stone, now an emf
nent film performer. was leading
man OF many a romantic play:
Ruggles was the juvenile and Vic
tor Scherzinger was leader Of the
orchestra. I was variously an ush-
er and a backstage flunky, sneak
ing away from high school because
the stage interested me more.
Stock players in those days re-
ceived but modest wages, and
Stone, Ruggles and the musical di-
rector sought to increase their
worldly goods by dabblIng now and
then in race horse bets. One day,
just before a matinee, they got a
tip that a horse with some-such
name as Golden Dawn was going
10 be brought in" So the three
pooled such money as they had at
the moment and tossed 1t on this
long shot. which was listed at
about Is to /.
Well" as Ruggles relates, "the
time Of the race was that Of the
last act Of the play. And. since
we were terribly anxious TO know
how we came out. I arranged TO

shopped furiously had been de-
lightful. The next day when they
started for Oakdale IL rained. Driv-
ing was difficult and Gaylord was
preoccupied pulling over the best
way TO tell his father Of his hasty
marriage.
Irene, tired and cross, showed
her irritation, and their day was
spoiled.
THINKING back over the short
- period OF her marriage Irene
blamed Gaylord for every difficulty.
He hadn't cared whether she en-
joyed herself In his old home or
not. All he could think Of was the
soap factory, and hunting. He left
her whole days and nights at a
time and came back with nothing
but a couple OF wild ducks to show
for HIS time. What men could see
In sitting for hours in a boat hid
den in q bunch OF seaweeds. Irene
couldn't understand.
Irene" her mother called up 70
her. i've made some mullins
You'd better hurry down II you
want them hot"
Irene put a dainty foot on the
soft rug by her bed and sat with
one knee swung across the other
She was still engrossed In the hard
ships OF her life with Gaylord
or course her Irritation with
Derry had been q mistake, but II
wouldn't have amounted TO any
thing IL Gaylord hadn't found out
about it. Irene hadn't forgotten
what he said TO her, his face white
and furious. She continued u
smart over his refusal 10 forgiv'
her after she had "humbled" her
self to ask him 70 do It.
Then the conditions Gaylord hat
laid down. Irene wondered tina
she had agreed TO them. but shI
had only to call 10 mind the vision
or her husbands countenance u
he declared himself TO understand
why she had done so.
She would marry Derry. GaylorI
had done her the honor TO take tina
for granted. II was tough on Derry
he unfatteringly admitted. but th
boy had let himself in for It.
She would marry Derry, but sh
must not see the young man agaii
until her separation from GaylorI
was legal. On this condition alon
would the young husband agree I
get his divorce without scandal II
volving Derry's name.
Irene, shrinking from the though
OF exposure before Oakdale society
consented 70 20 away and allo'
Gaylord TO divorce her without cor
test. There was promised to her
reasonable sum of money. Derr
was required TO remain in Oakdal
where Gaylord could keep an ey
on him.
For this last stipulation Iren
was now thankful And II wolldn
