they've really got something there.
Mobilization, for instance, is an
other one of those obvious things that
the Scouts have worked out in ad-
vance. Each troop has its prearranged
Mobilization Chart; each boy and
leader is listed by name, number and
telephone; and after the Scoutmaster
makes the first call, each succeeding
Scout calls or visits his prescribed por-
lion of the list. Thus New Jersey
troop could, without advance warn
ing, round up every one of its men,
bers from radius of sixteen miles in
twenty-five minutes.
The things they do when modified
depend, naturally, upon the situa-
ton. They may be required to serve
as orderlies or messengers, distribute
food. collect and distribute clothing.
hold fire lines, help direct traffic, clean
up debris, handle the injured, set up

no telling what they'll have to do until
the time comes - the one sure thing

with dispatch and efficiency

Months before that. in answer to
the repeated question, What can do
to help in the defense program" Girl
Scout Service Bureaus were estab-
lished all over the country to steer
the girls eagerness into the most use
full channels. Among the many projects
that have been undertaken through
these bureaus are supplying needy
babies with orange juice, milk. cereal
and cod-liver oil. developing commu-
nifty gardens, doing volunteer clerical
work for various welfare and defense
groups, helping refugee children adjust
themselves, and so forth.
In many communities the Girl
Scouts have organized to care for

later acknowledged by DR.. William
Buckner, County Health Commission
er, who said: Il have been unable to

fact that they have been on the scene

That, to be sure, is no more than
you'd expect from them if you know
anything about Scouts. But what is
even more to the point was summed
up in newspaper comment following

thousands Of others who do not
now pay moneys and credit taxes.
Return from the tax, now about
100000, would be increased three
fold If the bill is passed, Senator
Neumeier estimates.
The bill would leave the moneys
and credit tax at mills, but pro-
vides more drastic penalties to OBJ
tain truthful returns and place col
lection under the state tax COM
missioner instead Of local officials.
If a person fails to make a return
by a specified date, the bill would
give the state tax commissioner
power to make an assessment and
add a penalty of 10 per cent. If
the commissioner determines that
the omission was willful and with
intent to defraud the state, a pen
atty of 25 per cent would be as
sessed. A penalty of IS per cent
likewise could be made if a tax
payer makes his return too low
with intent to defraud the state.
Another provision declares that
one who willfully makes a false re-
turn or fails to make a return,
with intent to evade payment of
the tax due the state, may be ad-
judged guilty of a misdemeanor.
The bill allows an exemption of
$500 from the tax. The present
law allows no such exemption.
The taxpayer would be given the
privilege under the bill of deduct
ing one-half of his moneys and
credit tax from his income tax.

Telephone Company. The three
companies operate in the states of
Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, South
Dakota and North Dakota.
Pointing out that the telephone
business is made up of many trans
actions between each user Of the
service and the company, the re-
port states that it Is the constant
aim of the companies "to personal
ize these transactions and to make
each of them definitely pleasing
to the customer" and that SURVEYS
to ascertain the views of customers
about the service and the manner
in which it is provided were made
during the year. h..
An the end of the year, the three
companies, taken as a unit, had
more telephones in service than
ever before but the number of long
distance calls handled during the
year was 81 per cent less than for
1880, the year of maximum long
distance usage. There has been a
reduction in revenues per telephone
and an increase in investment per
telephone, as compared with 1880.
Taxes took about one-sevnnth of
total revenues in 1910 and amount
ed to more than dividends paid.
For the three companies, taxes as
signable to operations amounted
to $6.03S,000 which was equivalent
to SOL per telephone.
Regarding the three companies
as an operating unit, composite net
telephone earnings to average in
vestment in telephone plant for the
year were AS per cent. The
Northwestern Company paid divid-
ends of IS per share on It's stock
in 1910. The Tri-State and Dakota
Central companies paid no divi-
dends.
The number of employees at the
end of the year was 12,037 of whom
1870 or more than 81 per cent,
were women. The average length
of service was about 10 years for
men and 10 years for women en-
ployees. rt-r.

Their business today is modern in

made during the winter have given

Unsung Moore Best
OF Redskin Backs,
Hitchcock Claims
Dependable os Blocker,
Toter, TockIer, Great ,
On Pass Defense
By BILL DISMER, Jr.

There" said the guy whom
many think is the best back among
the Redskins, is the best all-around
back on our ball club. And the
most unpublicized."
It was Frank Filchock talking and
he wasn't pointing to the mirror.
Instead, his finger was in the direc-
ton of the Redskir who most re-
sembleS & genuine Indian. who
weighs 1873 pounds, stands feet II
and is serving his third year with
the Skins. He wears No. 35 on his
jersey. Know him without looking
at your program?
Yep, it's Wilbur Moore, Mime
sofas lone gift to the Redskins who
Is as silent on or off the field as
the native Americans from which
his present team took their nick
names are in forest Long since,
his professional teammates have
called him "Gabby' for the same
reason you'd call a 300-pounder
skinny"
Probably all Of the Redskins have
the same respect for Moore as Fill
chock, but because he's in frankie S
| backf1eld and thereby comes under
old No. 3o's scrutiny more than any
one else's. we'll let Filchock tell you
about him
There's nothing we've asked Cab
by to do that he hasn't done well,
says Filchock. apparently anxious
to launch into a subject he would
like to see publicized He can carry
| the ball, he can block and he can
tackle, and he's the best passde-
fense man on the squad. What
more do you want?
Those in the stands usually don't
notice Wilbur unless he catches a
pass or makes tackle, but let me
tell you something. he does plenty
on every play l know, for the op-
ponent our wingback is supposed to
block never gets through when
Moore's in that slot.
And how many times has ne
saved us with a great tackle in the
