1t will be Of interest to know that
the same underground conduit In
stalled in 1900 is of sufficient size to
carry a cable containing three times
as many wires as were enclosed in
the cables being used at the time this
underground system was constructed.
engineers of the Chesapeake and Po-
tomac Telephone Company point out.
II the newer cable had increased
in size in proportion to the additional
wires 1t contains, the project would
have cost about ten times the $4,000
1t will cost to install this cable, &C
cording to the engineers.
Research on the part of the Bell
Telephone Laboratories is responsible
for this and many other improvements
to the telephone system. For many
years these telephone scientists. who
are experts In bringing about improve.
ments in transmitting speech, and in
providing more modern methods of
manufacturing equipment and develop
ing metals and alloys, have been find
ing ways and means to make two
wires squeeze into the same space
that was formerly occupied by one
wire in a cable.
These engineers and scientists are
constantly working at this task and
hundreds Of others, to see that more
and better service will be given the
telephone users Of the nation. Their
work, officials of the company say, is
one OF the reasons why, although the
number Of telephones is far greater
and the service is far better than that
Of 1920, the average charge to the
telephone user for carrying a message
one mile has been reduced from about
one and one-third cents ten years ago
to less than one cent today.
Telephone research saves the Bell
System millions OF dollars annually

How to Better Poor Postura

Bodily poise is just as important as
social poise to the really attractive
woman. Poor posture will spoil the
effect of the most expensive gown,
but If posture is poor, it's easy to i'm
prove it, Kathleen Howard writes in
Harper's Bazaar.
"Here is one way to do it." she
writes. "Stand in front of your mir
ror, without your clothes, and turn
sideways. You may see reflected a
bad case of swayback. If you do, put
one hand below your waist on your
back and put the other in front, on
your abdomen. Then roll the tip Of
your spine under and up, at the same
time keeping your head well up. 1t
really works."

What, No Whittlers?

What has become Of the Old-time
whittier, and why his disappearance?
\ half-century ago almost every man
carried good pocket knife and when
he stopped on any occasion he took
his knife from his pocket and began
whiting. At that time many men
carried in their pocket stick or
block Of wood known as whiting
stick. 1t was some soft wood, soft
pine and white walnut being favorite
timber for whiting. The early set

The government building program
In Washington In the triangle south
of Pennsylvania Avenue, between
Sixth and Fifteenth Streets, N. W.,
is constantly exciting the interest of
visitors and Washingtonians, as they
see day by day the unfolding of new
vistas of the worlds most beautiful
city.
Those who have an eye for details
may see at least one excellent ex.
ample Of how modern industry applies
the findings of modern science.
This immense construction project.
which includes the erection of a num-
Der of huge buildings for govern
mental use has necessitated the clos.
ing Of several streets Within a short
time these streets will he torn up,
excavations made, and foundations
constructed on which will be erected
new buildings. This will necessitate
the dismantling of considerable sec
ton of the telephone company's un.
derground conduit system, which has
previously contained cables to supply
telephone connections to the business
and government offices located in this
area. This telephone project is only
a small part of the big construction
job, but it has a distinct connection
with the efficiency Of modern day
science
Company engineers in making their
plans to continue telephone service
in certain buildings which have al
ready been erected or will not be
dismantled at the present time have
utilized an existing conduit system
under a section of Twelfth Street.
The cable being installed for this
purpose will contain 2,4O0 wires. suf-

RUSSIANS MAY CONTROL
 WORLD SALMON MART

American salmon packers are now faced with the fact that their supremacy is threatened by an eastern invasion; although many packers have failed to realize the extent to which their market has been invaded.
 The Russians, one of the "in- vaders,' are operating over 60 new canneries this season, many of them large floating plants that can shift their base in accordance with the movement of. fish, re- ports the Ketchikan Tribune.

MOB|L|z|NC PARK FORCES FOR ATTACK
 0N WOLF PACKS

Mckinley Park, June 20. Especial to The GateWay)-Official orders have been received to mobilize the Park Rangers, equip them with heavy marching gear, and have them make war on the wolf popu laton of Mt. Mckinley National Park.
 On June IT the first company of zouaves left headquarters under sealed orders to proceed to Igloo, there to remain four days, throW LID battlementS and trench, and theoretically wipe out the wolf population Then proceed to Tok- lat for four days; then to Nunoney; then to Sable Pass, encamp and put all the lobos on the spot in a circle six miles across.
 AS so far none of the Rangers have been drilled in long distance rifle fire, nor shooting at moving targets, nor at any objects more than 50 yards away, most likely the greatest damage will happen to the astonishment of the wolves, that have heretofore been the Gov- ernment's pampered, pr otected, pesk, pets.
 The Governments knowledge of how to kill wolves is nearly as good as Stewart Edmunds Blacks knowledge of wild life in Alaska, or maybe he gave them the dope how to do it?
 Along a narrow strip of the ParF near the North line, and less than two per cent of the area, 1000 cari- bou and 250 mountain sheep (offic- ial record) have been killed by VOL yes the past mild winter. To the wolves the Park was a protected land of sheep and caribou.

or our Alaskan product and the Russians know how to put it up as they have imported some of Alaska's best cannery men and paid them fabulous salaries to teach them the latest methods.
 The Tribune quotes a veteran Alaska cannerymen, that "a hard factor for the American salmon packer to overcome is the cheap labor cost in Russia, which nat urally enables the Soviet packers to market good product at highly competitive price; and the Japanese are not. far behind the Russians in their salmon packing operations.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

A little girl years old, who had
recently moved into q house down the
block. came determinedly to the gate Of
one of the yards. and entered.
To q woman standing there she made
the following speech!
eve will keep our dog In our yard,
and YOU keep your cat in your yard. and
I am sure we shall get along very well. -
And SO saying, she turned and walked
away.
We do not know what that would be
in Indian. but would hazard the follow
ing, at random, If not Choctaw:
Chardoggadogg Mancattacatt Dogcat-
adoggacatt!
Here we were at last, talking Indian
at a rapid rate.
Hereafter II we are confronted with
a question which we do not Know now
TO answer, or do not care to answer, we
will look as solemnly at our interrogaOor
as our nature will permit ana say
placidly:
"Chargoggagogg m nchauggagogg
chaubunagungamaug.
No doubt this will amaze him so COM
pletely, especially II he has the legal
mind, which strives so desperately to be
logical that he will be nonpluSsed and
forget all about his cross-examin1ng
What's that?" the fellow will ask.
Happily we will reply:
oh, chargoggagogg mancnauggasoSs
chaubunagungamaug, that's all.
The fellow, having suspicious that We
are hurting epithets in his direction, VIII
demand an explanation. and we snail De
glad to give it to him.

repeating them night and day, until ne

Now, our newly discovered Indian talk
comes in the same category. once

he will discover, in all probability, that
he is unable to let go Of 1t.
It is said that there once was an old
politician ut the Capitol many years ago
who was forever repeating in and out
of season the single, resounding word,

Of temperament. which Dement'S all men,
you will find yourself rolling out its
syllables and rather priding yourself on
the belief, II not the fact, that you
sound very much like an Indian, sure
enough.
Perhaps Tarzan. rather than Uncas,
holds the stage today. But for sheer
picturesque romance no man or men
will ever take the place Of the Indians.
Their names, especially their place
names. will never vanish from the earth.
Let no man be fooled by the fact that
a professor Of the ancient languages in
the early days went through New York
State and helped call them Seneca In

names. Nor let any one be bamboozled

Girl of II Defends
Bvrd's SpOrtsmanship

To the Editor OF The Star:
Although / am only little girl Of IA,
am an American who likes fair play
and I would like to call attention,
through the columns OF your paper,
which is always on the side of the right,
to some facts in connection with Ad-
miral ByrdS transatlantic flight which
seem to have been overlooked In the
controversy which has arisen over the
statements made by Mr.. Fokker in his
recent book. The Flying Dutchman."
At least, have seen no mention made
OF them in the newspapers. They are
as follows:
The first delay in connection with the
preparations for Admiral Byrd's flight
came in May, when, on the first test
flight, the plane crashed while the de-
signer, Mr.. Fokker. was at the controls
necesSitating a delay OF over q month.
while repairs were made. The reason
for so many test fiights-which so
strangely puzzled Mr.. Fokker-after the
plane had been repaired, was that there
were no data about tri-motored planes,
such as their cruising radius. lifting
power, landing speed, etc, while there
was available plenty of such data in
connection With monoplanes. Admiral
Byrd never needlessly endangers lives.
In the meantime. other flyers had
made preparations for similar flight,
including young Charles Lindbergh. to
whom Admiral Byrd, with his custom
airy generosity. loaned his field for the
take of. When asked II he would make
his flight on the same day as Col. Lind
bergh. Admiral Byrd replied NO the
eyes OF the world should be focused on
Lindbergh--he must have his chance"
An ardent admirer OF Admiral Byrd,

OF the most perfect gentleman and gal
liant sportsman l have ever known and

Chairman Fess.

The leaders Of the Republican party
are determined, II they can avoid 1t,
not TO have another turnover In the ma

Guilty has been TO persuade Senator
Simeon d. Fess Of Ohio to continue on

the Ohio Senator has yielded to the ar

that If he remained as chairman, what
ever he might say on public issues or
matters affecting the G. o. p. would
be widely circulated as the opinion OF

both. Such a situation seemed, it APP
