HERE and

By w. N. Smith

Some Of my readers claim to
recognize anything I write, even
though my name is not signed. In
a way that's quite f1attering. AS a
matter of fact, however, this has
led to a number Of mistakes, both
humorous and embarrassing.
1 have been credited with having
written some articles that / would
give considerable to have written ;
but I didn't write them. Again i
have been credited with writing
certain articles that I did not write.
Because the Editor of this paper
and / think much alike on most
large questions of paramount in
terest, at his request, I occasional
ly write an editorial. Sometimes
when there is no one else available
I write a feature article upon some
important happening.
But as a general thing I prefer
TO write my own column where I
am permitted to express my own
thoughts in my own way and under
my own signature. So the folks
who were 50 positive / wrote a GER
tain unsigned article in last weeks
paper were badly mistaken. /
would ike to suggest to them that
whenever it becomes important to
know if I did or did not write some
special article, just ask me. Pill
BE GLAD TO TELL. THAT WILL
SAVE PRoFITLESS SPECULA-
TFON AND OFTEN UNKND
CRITICISM.

LONDON'S MILLIONTH PHONE
USED FOR CALL TO CANADA

London has installed its millionth
telephone.
On October 16, 1886, there were
exactly million working telephones
in the area covered by the Lon
don Telephone Service-ffty-seven
years after Londen's first telephone
exchange was opened. 1t was as
recently as July, 1926, that the $780,.
000th telephone was installed in the
London area. This instrument was
placed in the Press Gallery Of the
House of Commons. The millionth
telephone was inscribed to the Rt.
Hon. the Lord Mayor of London, Sir
Percy Vincent, and one Of the first
uses he made of it was to speak to
the Mayor of London, Ontario,
Canada.
London's telephones are now In
creasing at the rate Of about 200
daily.

upon which their work is to be
predicated; the quality of the wOm-
en- who have formed this assOcia-
ton and their generous invitation
to the public to unite with them.
When the flood waters spread
over the southern areas it was only
a matter of course that included in
the devastated territory were a
great number of the colored peo-
pie. Evidence was not wanting to
show that relief measures passed
many of them by entirely and not
a few were helped only in part.
These facts were made known to
friends of these sufferers in many
parts Of the country.
Immediately, organized efforts
were made to help. Without dis
counting the fine work Of the Red
Cross which tries to give relief
without prejudice it was recognized
that in the south it would be affect
ed by the well known attitude of
its white population, so the cOlOred
people after cOunseling with Red
Cross officers decided to supple
ment whatever it was permitted to
do for the cOlOred people by gath
ering clothing, food, etc, to be
given to their people directly thru
an agency directed by the cOlOred
people themselves.
Many Of these units have been
formed throughout the country.
The Minneapolis Emergency Club
follows the same methods in its
formation and work.
Individuals Of the community are
urged to make financial cORtribu-
tiOns to the Red Cross, as all citi-
zens are expected to do and in ad-
ditiOn our own people are impOr-
tuned to gather from their store
Of used garments the things they
can spare. After these have been
repaired and renovated, they will
be packed and shipped directly to
our needy as indicated above.
7 feel very sure that any Of our
people who want to help can safely
entrust their gifts to this society.
This means men as wen as women.
For the men can give the money to
pay the expense OF mailing or ex-i
pressing the goods, groceries and
what not that the women win as
sernble.
