R. R. LOCOMOTIVE AIDS RAZING OF
 TELEPHONE LINE
Seven Miles of s. N. E. Co Poles Pulled Down in
 Single Day

New Haven, Feb 10-Recent years have brought many stories of the ingenuity of Southern New England Telephone company crews in adopting novel methods of set ting pole lines, digging ditches and doing various other things, but now comes the story of novel way of tearing down telephone pole line, made unnecessary by the building of other facilities. The pole line was seven miles long. It contained 336 poles and all of them were down by nightfall of the day on which the work was started. The most unique feature of the job. however, was that the agency through which the crew accom- plished this task was railroad locomotive.
 : The job was done on the old Kent North Adams line which ran beside the railroad tracks, g. fact which gave birth to the idea of substituting locomotive in the work usually done by motor truck. The locomotive was rented from the railroad company and proved to be 8 devastating assistant.
 One of the railroad crew was stationed up front of the engine where he could have full view of the operations. The movement of the engine was controlled by his signals to the engineer. A slip moose and hook were placed around each pole about five feet from the ground and a line at tached to the locomotive. The To- comotive slowly crept backward until the slack was taken up and then pulled the pole down as if it had been a toothpick. When one pole was eased over the men un- loosened the loop and placed it on the next pole in line, without the need for stopping the engine.
 Attachments on the poles, in- cluding cross arms and wires, had been removed on the previous day and the wire was salvaged.

This remarkable exodus from San

Hundreds Cf reservations have been
made by officers families on the COM

while others will migrate by bus or
automobile.
Naval officers point out that this is
the first time that such large naval
force has made coast to coast move

This exodus is a major problem for
the budgets of the naval families 1t
is also a financial worry to the bust

Crime Past and Present.

The average citizen, living in and
for the moment, entertains a con-
viction TO the effect that the present
period is the most violently lawlesS
the world ever has seen. Thousands
of people accept without contradiction
the notion of unparalleled vicious
ness. No other age, they say, has
been so afflicted by crime of every
variety. They think of Dillinger and
other public enemies as being novel;
ties; and the long list of murders and
suicides, gang fights, robberies, kid
napings. etc, they take for granted
as a peculiar aggravation of their
own era.
But suppose they were to glance
over the newspaper hles of ten. twenty
or thirty years ago; what would they
find? BY way of answer these head
lines were copied at random from The

A Diamond Charity.

Yesterdays base ball game at New
York was a sort Of mid-Season world
series contest, a test Of strength be-
tween the two major leagues, and yet
quite different from the classic with
which each season closes. 1t was
played between the pick of the two
leagues, assembled for the occasion
each team performing together tor
the first time. SubStituuons OF
players were made not so much tor
the sake of additions to the offensive
and defensive strength as to afford
the assembled crowd a chance to see
as many fayorite performers in action
as possible. Had the purpose been
merely 10 win the game it would OBJ

Of the American organization There
seemed 10 be no chance for them as
long as he was sending up his famous
screw ball" which eluded their bass
with miraculous effectiveness. The
change in pitchers gave them their
opportunity. Just as the final change
Of the American pitching talent
clinched the game for that side.
Such games are interesting, but not
especially significant. So much de-
pends upon the man in the box that
a weak hitting team fortified by q
masterful tvfrler may win the game
that he pitches and yet be dstanced
In the race. The real interest in the
spectacle was derived from the pres
ence on the field Of the players for
whom the patrons Of the sport had
voted as mos. worthy representatives
Of their respective leagues. But back OF
the contest was a fact OF which the
public was only incidentally aware,
that base bah players often pass from
afiuence to poverty. as their arms
and legs weaken and they lose their
skill and they drift out Of employ
ment. The purpose of this game,
which has become an annual feature,
is to maintain a fund for the care
OF these veterans Of the sport, to
which all players in the organized
league contribute. These oldsters gave
their best when they wore the
"spangles," and now they are TO be
cared for through the generosity Of
their SUCCESSORS and the bounty Of

test chiefly through curiosity 10 see
