Arab Interviewer

NJ 0G IIIISI NISVOB
Mr.. Djellouli came down to
the boats to interview me just
as I was leaving Tunis on the
Mustapha II. Why he came to
do a story on me when I was
leaving the city instead OF get
ting me when arrived is some
thing I wouldn't know about
right now. Nothing that they
do in Tunis, however, would sur
prise me in the least. If Mr..
Djellouli had suddenly produced
Q pair of wings and flown
through the portfolio I wouldn't
have batted an eyelash.
I have seen some strange out
fits on reporters, but this Arab
member of our craft must go to
the head Of the class. The gen.
tleman wore a yellow suit, a
blue shirt, a red tie, brown
shoes, gray Spats-and he car
ried a cane. More than that
hold tight now-he wore a mon
ocle. Do you hear me, Red
Dolan? A reporter with a
monocle!
Well, after all, why not? Mr..
Djellouli probably considered
himself quite a fashion plate.
Undoubtedly he's hot cat in
his home town. And. as long as
he's happy, what difference?
At any rate, my interviewer
wanted to know this, that and
the other thing. His English
was not very good, but he made
it clear that he had been mean
ing to see me for some time
but that there had been an un-
usual number of parties lately
and he hadn't been able to take
care Of the assignment. When
he said that, I felt that I had
misjudged the man. He was a
regular reporter!
He asked me any number OF
questions and I answered them
quite faithfully. About 10 min
utes before the boat was sched-
uled to sail, he consulted his
notes and asked me what shows
I had enjoyed best on Broad
way.
Clever Answer
"The ziegfeld Follies," I told
him.
He stopped writing and
looked up in perplexity.
"You say what?" he inquired.
I repeated it.
THE Follies. The Zlegteld
Follies. Even over here you've
heard about those, haven't you?
Mr.. ziegfeld's Follies. Follies.
Follies."
Sudden comprehension sprang
into his eyes.
"Ahhh," he cried "I knew
what he is. onderstan' now.
Foloise. Folaise. The man who
marry Connie Bennett"
So that's the road that fame
takes. Gee, Flo, if you were
only here now, how I'd kid you
about that! Oh, well.
George, the Cockney waiter
on the Mustapha II. I think
maybe I've written too much
about him already. I hope you
can stand just one more story.
AS the only man on the boat
outside Of my party who spoke
English, George was invaluable
to me. On that strange craft
I don't know what would
have done without him. And
as I handed him his tip about
an hour before the boat docked
at Marseilles, I drew him to
one side.
George" I said, earnestly.
"what the devil are you doing
on this boat, anyhow? You're
too valuable to waste your time
in this service. You can't make
anything much in tips, you
have to work like a dog-and
I don't think your value is ap-
preciated."
"No. sir" he replied. you're
quite right. Hits not truly hap
preciated. sir"
''Well, then" 7 went. on,
"why don't you get on some
transatlantic boat? I think
you'd be far better off. How

Lost
23 At Yorktown

Washington won many of his
important engagements in the
Revolutionary war at surprisingly
small cost of life of his followers.
In the siege of Yorktown, the
action which decided the conflict,
Washington recorded that only
% Of his officers and men were
killed.
In the battle of Trenton, to
fight which Washington made his
famous crossing of the Delaware
and which saved the cause from
going on the rocks of public
apathy, only two soldiers were
killed and three officers wounded
One of these was Lieut.. James
Monroe, who later became fifth
President of the United States.

business enterprises IN that the
cost of serving each additional
subscriber does not go down as
the service expands.
While, generally speaking, there
is a reduction in unit cost as pro-
duction increases in most indus
tries, in the telephone industry it
is a fact that relatively more
plant is needed to give a sub
Scriber service in a large town
than in a small one. Only one
central office may be required in
a small community and the Situa-
ton is relatively simple as sub
Scribers' lines all terminate in one
switchboard and require only one
set Of switching operations.
Trunk Lines Needed
In a large city like Washington,
however, many offices are needed
and network Of trunk lines is
necessary to interconnect there
offices as we'll as additional
switching equipment to handle
calls passed from one office to
another. Telephone service is
really custom-made and each call
is handled individually at the or
der of the customer.
An example of the way in
which, despite these facts, Wash.
ington has obtained the great in
crease in value Of its telephone
service to its users at an actual
decrease in its cost to them is the
Improvement that has taken place
in telephone cables. Most of the
main network of telephone wires
in this city is contained in cables
laid beneath the streets. Each
cable is group Of wires carefully
insulated and enveloped in a lead
shell.
these cables, in turn, are placed
in terra Gotta conduitS to lay
which requires the digging of a
trench along the street, an ex.
pensive operation and one incon-
venient to the public.
During the rearrangementS
made necessary by the Govern
ment building program, it became
necessary to provide some .tudi.
:lonal service and at the same
time reroute one of the main
cables. The cable that had to be
removed to a new route contained
900 pairs Of wires, the maximum
size of cable at the time it was
laid many years ago.
To provide more service under
the standards of the former day
7ould have necessitated an addi-
tional cable, bigger conduit, an
noying and expensive cutting up
Of the streets.
Improve Gables
But by careful research the Bell
Laboratories have developed i'm
provements in the manufacture of
cables so that the present maxi
mum size of cable is 1900 pairs
Of wires with approximately the
same outside dimensions as the
old 900-pair cable. The result was
that the 900-pair cable could be
removed and a new 1,8O0-pair sub
Stituted for it, doubling the Ca
pacity of the route without any
change in the existing conduit

The Washington times., 1932-05-30
BY L. DAVIS KAY

A short time ago a group Of
Washington men organized the
southeastern Industrial Bankers,
Inc, a holding company, around
which it was proposed to organize
a chain of industrial banks, or
personal finance companies.
Industrial banking as such is
a comparatively new term applied
to small personal financing. It
is surprising just how little the
public knows about personal fl
nancing. This country has been
busily engaged for years in mass
production of almost every known
commodity, or necessity, and yet
little attention has been paid to
financing the average man, who
is the ultimate consumer.
Personal finance after all is
only mass financing to meet the
inevitable results of mass produc-
ton. Such companies operate
on a conservative basis, charge
a fair rate for their services, and
are able to make fair profit,
and at the same time fulfill a
very beneficial and necessary
function to the public at large.
Future Is Bright
It is believed that the time is
not far distant when personal
finance companies will be as well
known as our banking inStitu-
tions, and render the same rela-
tive service to the consumer as
the banking institutions render
to the business man and COM
panieS, which form the basis of
our present commercial structure.
Conceived less than two years
ago, Southeastern Industrial Bank

Eagles Initiate
$1,000 New
Members

In 1898 a small group Of men
in the State of Washington,
drawn together by a community
of interests, decided that their
union should be perpetuated and
that others should be permitted
to share in its advantages. This
was the beginning of the Frater-
nal Order of Eagles.
The cardinal principles upon
which the order is founded have
a familiar ring, particularly in
this year which marks the Bi.
centennial Of George Washington.
They are Liberty, Truth; Jus.
tice and Equality, the corner.
stones upon which the founders
Of the Nation built.
$1,000 New Members
The Fraternal Order of Eagles
is the most active Fraternity in
the United States today. From
october 10, 1881, to May 10, 1882,
the Eagles initiated more than
57,960 new members.
Men are joining because the
F, o. e. gives them more protec'
ton at a lower cost than they
can get elsewhere. The fra
ternity is waging national cam.
paign to solve the country's most
pressing problem-unemploymert
and is promoting humanitarian
legislation for mothers pensions,
workmen's compensation and old
age pensions.
Recently the Fraternal Order
of Eagles opened national head
quarters in the National Press
Building in Washington, D. c..
for the purpose of conducting
on a larger scale their educa.
tional campaign for the better.
ment of social and economic con-
ditionS.
Their immediate objective is to
secure the sterilization of en-
ployment through the establish
metn Of a Federal Industrial Com.
mission. The Eagles bill, intro
duced in the House by Representa-.
tive Louis Ludlow, Of Indiana,
December /, 1880, and re-intro-
duced by him at the beginning
of the present session, was the
first bill of its kind proposed to
the national legislature.
Hearing Held on Bill
The bill Oh. R. 531D has been
assigned to the House Judiciary
Committee. A hearing was held
March 2, at which leaders Of the
Fraternal Order of Eagles ap-
peared to explain it's merits. On
this occasion more than 80 mem.
berS of the House either appeared
in person to speak in its behalf
or sent statements to be included
in the official record of the pro.
ceedingS.
Under the leadership of Judge
Robert E. Mattingly, the Aerie in
the Nations Capital City has this
year had the greatest growth in
its history.
