telling who did what and what
happened when. 1t contains
valuable information for farmers.
business men. housewives, stud
ents and others--in fact, for
practically everybody.
Referring to the fact that not
AL telephones are Bell-owned, the
almanac states that out OF to-
tai Of about 2l,800,000 tele-
phones in the United States, ap-
proximateIy l1.390.000 or about
so per cent, are owned by the
Bell System.
More than 4,340,0 900, or near
ly 20 per cent, are owned by
other organizations, but connect
with the Bell long distance lines.
Nearly 10000 telephones are
neither owned BY the Bell nor
can be connected with its lines.
A considerable number of per-
sons have only vague idea Of
the organization Of the Bell Sys-
tom and how il operates. Tie
almanac describes its Structure III
this manner:

The American Telephone and
Telegraph Company also per-
forms certain functions which

SHOT IN THE FACE

John Cameron met with an ac-
cident yesterday that came near
being serious in its results. He
and E. H. Beck went cunning after
Woodcock. In was in the dusk of
the evening and Mr. Cameron had
turned to go home and when about
forty yards away, up sprang a
Woodcock. Not noticing the di-
rection his companion had gone,
and eager for his prey the trigger
was pulled on the leveled, gun
some eight or ten shot entering his
face and one, the most trouble
some, his throat, in what is called
the Adams Apple" 1t was a
we'll directed shot. for it brought
down both the bird and the man.
Two of the shot which entered
near the end of his nose went clear
through into his mouth, and an
other buried itself out of reach in
the nose right near the eye, but
fortunately, neither of his optics
were disturbed though the marks
of the shot cover every part of the
surface of the face. DIR. Ashcraft
removed some of the shot, but
those most deeply imbedded Mr..
Cameron declined to have probed.
He is about today.

MAY NOT DRAFT
20 PCT.OF GUARD
New Bill Would Eliminate All
Those From Active Service
Having Known Dependents
3 WEEK MANEUVERS

Approximately 20 per cent of the
1,187 non-commissioned officers
and enlisted men of the 198th
Coast Artillery, A. A., Delaware
National Guard, will not be called
into active service because of their
having dependents, if Congress ap-
proves the act authorizing the
President to order out the guard,
according to estimates made by Of
ficers. The proposed act provides
that the men in the three lower
grades of the service who have
bonafide dependents are to resign
privates, corporals, and sergeants.
Staff sergeants and other non-com-
missioned officers above the regular
grade of sergeant are not included
as their salaries are high enough
to provide for the care of depend
ents, it was said. Brig. Gen. Will

the Delaware National Guard, who
has returned from Governors Is

with other adjutant generals and
with Lieut.-Gen. Hugh A. Drum.
commander of the Second Corps
Area, U. S. Army, declined to dis
cuss the conference other than to
say it was on national defense
measures. He also declined to
make an estimate as to the num-
Der of men with dependents in the
National Guard, but did say that
members of the National Guard
who marry now may not be ex-
empt from service. "If there is a
possibility that the marriage was
intended as a means of evading
military service, the man will not
be allowed to resign" he said. The
means of replacing the men re-

signed has not yet been decided on,
but it is supposed that further en-
listments will make up for the
designations, officers said. In the
meantime officers and men are
going forward with plans for the
movement to the three-week man
euvers at Richville, n. Y, which
began Monday morning. Officers
feel confident the call for active
service will not come until the
maneuvers are over and probably
not until the guard has been home
for several weeks afterwards. Mai

general of the Delaware Guard.
said last week that plans for se-
lective service are progressing rap
idly. He pointed out the amend
ment to the Senate bill providing
that only men between the ages of
q and 81 be registered will not
change the local set-up, as the
plans formulated here provided for
the registration of that age limit

A panic was nearly created on
the steamer Thomas Clyde on its
return trip from Woodland Beach
Friday evening. On board the yes
sci was an excursion from the S.A.
Grocer and Sons mills, numbering
several hundred people. When the
boat was nearing Augustine Pier
a thunder storm overlook her and
for a time the greatest excitement
followed. The passengers all ran
to the far side of the boat to es-
cape the storm, which caused the
vessel to dip on this side, and
great danger was evident. BY the
most careful management the offic-
ers and crew preserved order, but
not until the vessel had come to a
standstill and a dozen or more peo-
pie had tainted was the general
disorder quieted. One of the ladies
was so badly frightened that she
lost her speech and it has not re-
turned to her yet, though she is
well otherwise.

NEW BRIDGE OVER THE
HUDSON

If the proposed suspension
bridge over the Hudson from New
York City to Hoboken shall be-
come an accomplished fact, it will
be the largest, safest and hand
soonest in the world. The design
is to put the work upon Nation
al basis, and to place its construc-
ton and the regulation of its traf-
fic under the supervision of the
Federal authorities, in the person
of the secretary of war. Con-
Meeting two states, it is really an
interstate undertaking, and it will
serve as one of the main arteries
of trade between the entire West
of the country and the metropolis.
