Another Record Set
By D. {. Telephones
Al End Of August
BY EDWARD G. STONE.

Another all-time record In the
total number of telephones in serv-
ice in the National Capital was
scored by the Chesapeake e. Poto-
mac Telephone Co. at the end of
August, continuing the long series of
monthly gains, officials reported to-
day
The number of phones in use at
the end of August totaled 1854, ,7SO,
compared with 350,446 in August,
1912, gain during the year of A.
1884, and an increase of 1894 tele-
phones over the preceding month
this year, when the number stood at
364,386.
Average calls per day numbered
1,40l 1868 in comparison with 1,438.-
67S in August year ago and 1,446.-
ISL in the preceding month this
year
The decrease in number of calls,
officials said, was due to the request
that the public use the lines in long
distance service only for messages
considered most essential, thus
avoiding conflict with war calls.
Insurance Sales Compared.
The striking turnabout in life in
surance sales in Washington since
the beginning of the year is shown
in monthly comparisons with the
same periods a year ago:

Few Stocks Improve,
But Many Leaders :
Ease Moderately
BY VICTOR EUBANK.


NEW YORK, Sept. 24.AStocks did
a bit better in parts of todays mar
ket, but many leaders continued to
Jog along at moderately lower levels.
A few preferreds were out in front
from the start and bids were forth
coming for scattered industrials.
Buying was just about as timid as
selling, however, and closing
prices were slightly uneven with
numerous pl2otals unchanged. Deal
ings were on the sluggish side
throughout and transfers for the full
stretch were around $50 900 shares.
Bullish contingents still seemed to
be waiting for important war de-
velopments and further clues re-
garding the forthcoming tax pro-
gram before stepping out too far
on the purchasing limb. At that,
commitments were reinstated here
and there on the thought the three
session retreat had put the list in
a stronger technical position.
