This information is important for two reasons:
Cd The public viii want to know to what extent
pay roll savings reduced operating COSTS ana what
extent lower operating costs were passed on tee
phone customers in the form of lover telephone
rates Cd The Administration and Congress now
wrestling with the nations major problem of unem
poyment, might find by further study OF this
monopolys labor policies suggestions to the
legislation necessary to provide greater job security
for the nations workers.
A MOTHER important disclosure is that the A. T.
n 81 r. exercises complete control over the Gray
bar Co. The principal business of Graybar is selling
telephone equipment to independent telephone COM
panies.
To get the significance of this, it is necessary to
recall that A. T. & T. operating companies buy prac
tically all Of their equipment from the A T. & T.
subsidiary, the Western Electric Co. When an A.
T. & 7. company appears before state regulatory
commission in rate case, it is necessary to deter
mine the companys investment before fixing rate
which will earn a fair return.
major part of the company's investrlen is
represented in equipment purchased from western
Electric 1t therefore is essential to inquire whether
Western Electric has charged fair prices for the
equipment And it has been the practice of A. T. e.
T. attorneys in such rate cases. to justify Western
Electric prices by comparing them with Graybar
prices, tke premise that Graybar is an indepen-
dent outfit And now the Graybar yardstick is re-
vealed as being made of A. T. & T. rubber This
revelation should prove of great benefit to state
regulatory commissions in future rate cases.
Other interesting items concern the extent to
which the A. t & T., through its efficient laboratories
and vast financial resources has branched out into
wireless, Geographic and teephoto communications
into the movie business by perfecting sound equip
ment and extending commercial banking credit to
movie producers We don't say this is wrong But
we do say that what monopoly does with the
profits it makes in protected enterprise is mat
ter of public concern.

GONE strange superstitions pre-
~ vail regarding the value of
canned vegetables as compared with
fresh vegetables.
Some people still believe that it is
dangerous to eat food that has been
left in cans, standing in the re-
frigerator, after a portion of the
material has been used. There is
no reason for this notion Most
canned products are sterilized and
safer left in the can than kept in
any other manner.
Vegetables most commonly
canned are tomatoes, corn and
peas. The manner of packing now
adays is carefully studied to con-
serve as far as possible all useful
substances. In preparing vegeta-
bles for invalids' and children's
diets, the substances usually are
finely divided or sieved.
The United States Food and
Drugs Law of 1906 provides definite
standards for canned goods, and
the Food and Drugs division is very
watchful over the sale of spoiled
food or food not properly branded.
Vegetables most commonly used

VESPERS
Ry FLORENCE MACDONALD


In the quiet hour of vespers,
- Set apart each busy week,
Fretful care is quite forgotten
Souls brief sanctuary seek.
Dusky purple shadows deepen,
Wrapt in atmosphere of rest.
Peacefully, the church maternal,
Folds her children to her breast.
Through blest evensong and message
Healing hearts too bruised to weep
Comes new strength to meet Lifes
challenge:
Live robustly-courage keep!"
So like lovely gems-these vespers
Counted over one by one
Make a rosary in memory,
Treasured when the seasons done

THEY deliberated for some time
L. over how to summon the fire
department. Ways open: Phone,
break the alarm box and turn in an
alarm, commander a car and get
to the fire department personally.
They ruled out the phone because
It cost nickel. They wanted aw-
fully to break the alarm box, but
finally decided on going down per-
sonally and ride back. So they did.
The firemen, who long had known
them, at first. thought they were kid
ding, but finally agreed, after they
put the alarm on paper over their
signatures, to go.
Back with a siren scream to their
building, the two rushed upstairs
ahead of the firemen, entered the
room, and demanded of the chief
when he entered that they be
rescued. The chief would have none
of it. Then they argued that the
least the firemen could do was to
break a window. This the firemen
refused to do.
One fireman they knew pretty
we'll took out for the kitchen as soon
as he got in the room; rummaged
about in the ice box, and finally re-
entered the room saying he was
quitting the fire.
LIE said that if there wasn't a
Il Il beer for him, he'd be darned
if he'd fight their fire. And he left,
too Another fireman carried a
basin of water from downstairs
oh, so carefully so as not to spill it
and brought up alongside the still
smoking chair.
The chief spied him.
Nope" said the chief, "no wa
ter. This is chemical job"
"Okay," said the fireman and he
turned and carried the basin down.
stairs, never splitting a drop.
After the fire was put out by
chemicals, and the firemen were
about to leave; my friends guest
went on to the porch. There were
SO many people gathered around
that he wanted to make political
speech.
But my friend restrained him.

choking him. He remarked to him
self that it certainly was getting
Stuffy in the place and he got up
and left. Out in the hallway the
relatively pure air revived him and
coincidentally, his loyalty.
So back in the apartment he went,
with a good deal of bravado. and
awakened his guest. The guest was
a bit recalcitrant at first, but finally
went along. He was revived, too
when he got into the hall.
Now, for years these two had been
getting facts on other peoples fires.
They held hurried conference and
decided to get into this, their own
fire, some of the details that they
often wished other people had had
the feature sense to get into theirs.
