Prison Breakers
Will Be Hanged

SAN RAFAEL, Calf, April 13.
Alex Mckay and Joe Kristy, parti-
cipants in the recent San Quen-
tin prison break in which the board
of prison terms and paroles was
kidnapped, today were sentenced to
hang June 81.
Notice OF appeal, however, was
served Immediately. This automa-
tically deferred the hanging date.
Motion for a new trial was de-
MED by Superior Judge Edward l..
Butler.
The appeal will be based on the
interpretation of the state kid
naping law, on which the two men
were convicted. The law declares
the death penalty mandatory in
cases where the kidnapping is for
purpose of robbery. Attorneys for
the convicts contend the robbery
the two convicts committed occur
red prior to the kidnapping.

dent Roosevelt and Cordell Hull,
secretary of state.
President Roosevelt placed him.
self virtually in position of de-
Tending Japanese trade expansion
in the United States by telling gov
ernors from New England that
there was no need yet for barriers
against Japanese textile imports,
despite their accelerating increase.
He pointed out that such imports
would amount only to seven-tenths
of one per cent of American pro-
duction during this year even if
they continued at their present
rate of increase.
Secretary Hull indicated he re-
garded trade relations with Japan
as on high plane compared to
other nations. He said America
primarily was concerned about 9TH
er nations who we're definitely Oh
structing world trade.
Officials said there was no rea5-
on for any nation to believe that
this government was fostering ac-
tior in Latin America against jap
anese goods. Several officials said
privately that the TRADES in To-
kio must have been prepared be-
fore they heard of yesterdays

dent.

Interesting Telephone Company

The following interesting article
appeared in the Columbus Sunday
Dispatch:
A one-woman telephone company
Aunt Polly Roberts being the one
woman-is in operation at Rural
Dale in Muskingum county, a mile
and a half from the Morgan county
line. With 40 subscribers and 13
lines, the job is little confning for
Aunt Polly. Her only freedom
from the switchboard and company
business is during church hours on
Sunday. "Most of my subscribers
are at church, then, too," she eX-
plains. Aunt Polly is the day and
night operator, in fact the only OPP
orator unless some other member of
the family answers if she is hang
ing out the wash or otherwise oc-
cupied at a distance.
She is the company, too, when
storms burn out things and trees
fall on wires. Her trouble shooter
is the farm hand, Tommy, who sets
things to rights when they go
wrong. She says her subscribers
are awfully nice and the telephones
make the neighborhood seem like
one big family. Things are done
differently in the Rural Dale system
than they are on a city switchboard
There's no little red light to flash
silently on when a subscriber takes
down his receiver In Rural Dale

GAS COMPANY LAUNCHES
HEATING DRIVE

Sales plans for a fall heating
most extensive III
the company's history--were an
nounced by l.. 2. Heron, district
sales manager of the Ohio Fuel Gas
company. The drive in which the
appliance sales department expects.
to exceed all previous gas heating
equipment sales records, will extend
through 18 weeks of late summer
and fall. All types Of gas heating
appliances, both for domestic and
commercial use, are being featured
in the campaign. These include gas.
boilers and furnaces for central
heating in homes and commercial
establishments; conversion burners
for installation in present heating
plants; gas unit heaters, circulating
heaters, and radiant heaters for res
idential and commercial space heat
ing, according to Mr.. Heron. Sales
promotion plans of the drive include
a sales contest in which statesmen Of
this community will compete with
all others in the company's employ
for cash prizes. Competition, also,
is set up between the various dis
trict organizations. Backing the
sales efforts is a comprehensive ad-
vertising campaign which tells the
story of better living with gas heat,
and describes economies effected
through it's use. Newspaper adver-
tising will form the backbone of the
campaign, and the Democrat has,
been selected as a key paper to car
ry a major schedule of these mes
sages.
Mr.. Heron stated that there has
been a quickened trend to gas for
central house heating purposes, and
predicts a most successful campaign
in thi community.

August A Safety Month For
Tho TTxtin (fiftpS

August will be safety month in
Malta and McConnelsville, with ey-
cry car driver alert to make our
record the cleanest we have ever
known Cooperation of every civic
organization, as Well as industry,
was requested by Mayors Mercer
to the vital necessity of focusing
the public eye upon bettering traffic
conditions, not only from the stand
point of safety, but from the eco
nomic angle as well, in announcing
August as Safety Month"
Rapidly improving economic
conditions,'' declared the mayors,
"have resulted in placing a greater
number of motor cars on the road
than there have been for several
years. Widening and black-topping
of the main thoroughfares in both
towns has tended to speed up traf-
fic and to make certain corners even
more dangerous. Today the trend
in traffic is toward speed. Motor
cars are built for speed. They have
more and greater pickup; and are
so constructed that they may be
handled far more easily than the
cars of yesterday. All of this means
that the driving public faces new
traffic conditions, conditions that
call for the exercise of split-second
judgment, accurate coordination of
brain, eye and manual deXterity. In
this August safety campaign, We
want both cities to cooperate, for ev-
eryone must realize that this is a
situation of mutual interest. The
careless driver may come home
some night to find that some other
careless driver has run over his boy
at play in the street. That is when
the perils of traffic strike home. But
if everyone cooperates and does his
own level best to cooperate traffic
dangers will be reduced to a min
imum. Throughout the country, a
general effort will be made in Aug
ust to improve traffic conditions, to
emphasize to drivers the importance
of safe driving. While 1884 saw the
greatest number of motor car ia
talities in the history Of the coun-
try,-35, 500, the latest figures for
this year show a decrease of two
percent for the first quarter We
=
motorists in Malta and McConnels-
vile, when they realize that traffic
safety is a civic duty to everyone,
will do their best to get in line and
| to keep Malta and McConnelsville's S
record one of the best in the state
in this respect. Officials will be in
structed to cooperate fully in the
campaign for better safety. They
will play the part of instructors as
far as possible. There will be no
attempt to arrest for Slight infrac-
tions. Rather the traffic will be
told to point out drivers errors
and to call to his attention the ben
efits to all Of traffic safety. After
all, laws and ordinances are franz
ed for the general good of all. They
are not meant to be oppressive
They become oppressive only when
there is a general inclination to dis
regard them. Xxx.

the subscriber proceeds by taking
down the receiver to see if the line
is busy If it is busy, he may
eavesdrop a minute to see if there's
any news in the neighborhood. II
the line is free he s'hangs up" and
rings with a crank on the side of
his phone-one long and one short
if he wants Aunt Polly. Then a
loud or soft or medium or a
.jangy'' or some other kind of a
ring comes TO Aunt Polly, who quits
pairing potatoes, turning the separ-
ator or some other of the manifold
duties of a farm housewife and sees
who Mrs. Jones wants. Mrs. Jones
SAYS she wants Mrs. Frame Or Mrs.
they don't know each 9TH
er's numbers. Nor their own. 1t
the subscriber wants someone on
his own line he rings long and
two short or some other designated
combination and Aunt Polly doesn't
have to answer, but she hears all
rings on the exchange. And-you'd
be surprised-she knows what line
is ringing by the sound of the ring,
for no two of the 13 lines sound
alike. If there's only one subscrib-
er on that line, she of course knows
which family is ringing and even
what member of that family, per-
chance, by the way the ring comes
in. She knows every voice on the
exchange. She is also we'll aware
when a stranger drops into the COM
munity and uses somebody's phone.
The telephone bill, too, is different
from the bills city folks get. Sub
scribers pay Sc year and keep up
their own dry cell batteries. When
the batteries get low, they are sup
posed to get new ones, but they
sometimes forget or neglect them
and then one must yell to be heard.
The system was built by the old In
dependent Co., about 35 years ago
when the telephone was very new
to rural communities. 1t is now
known as the Rural Dale Telephone
CO. There is a line to Philo which
Aunt Polly must ring to get connec-
tion with outside points. This is
Aunt Polly's ninth year as telephone
operator. She runs a So acre farm
| too, and cures country" ham which
fries with most tantalizing flavor
| She lives in the first frame house
built in Blue Rock township. She
is so years old and a widow.
