tices Measure Also Pre

Immigration bill and the corrupt practices

heap was the view of ltepubllcan and

and the corrupt practices measures expect
to make another combined assault on the
caucus program and try to force action
before adjournment, but tho regulars In

further rebellion. Both Republicans and
Democrats ore anxious to get away next
week, and this, along with word from
the White House that tho President would
surely veto the Immigration bill, has ser
iously crippled tho insurgents.

Police Court Chronicle
Every dog makes It harder for man to
live, according to Jim Burke.
He actually believes that every ordinary
dog carries enough microbes to flit a ceme
tery. Jim says tfce worst of it Is, the dog
Is dangerous and doesn't know it Burke,
therefore, contends that It's his right to
ellmlnato as many dogs as possible to pre
serve tho human race.
As he has nothing more serious to do, he
has been carrying out his antldog cam
paign with quite a little success. Jim
doesn't attack a dog with a club or a brick.
Neither does he feed It poison. His proc
ess of elimination Is much more subtle.
Should a lonely dog be discovered taking
a nap on a doorstep, Jim begins by annoy
ing him. That's Just how ho 'started on
the victim which brought him to the at-
across In front of It The do followed,
but Its tall was caught by the wheels and
the end of It nipped oft "as clean as a
whistle." Tho motorman stopped the car,
tho dog yelled, a cop arrived. Tho police
man saw Jim on the opposite side of the
street grinning.
"Seems to give you a fdt of satisfaction,"
said tho cop.
"Tou bet," replied JIn( "the car nearly
got him."
It then dawned Upon the policeman that
he had seen Burke around a number of In
Jii'ed dogs In the neighborhood. He took
him before Magistrate Baker.
Jim admitted his hatred for dogs and
confessed that he first got them mad and led
them on a chase In front of cars and
wagons, so that they would be either killed
or maimed.
When the prisoner declared he did this for
tho sake of mankind, the Magistrate
couldn't see It that way.
"Even a. dog has a. right to live until It
does something which deprives it of that
pleasure," said the Judge, "so, for the sake
o'f these suffering animals, I think you had
better rest In tho county prison for' 10
days."
tentlon of tho police The dog was nap
ping near Fourth and Dickinson streets.
The animal gave a low growl of disap
proval when Burke stepped on his tail.
When Burke gave him a sneaky pinch the
dog tried to gather In Jim's Angers, but
missed by a few Inches. Burko then gave
It a vicious punch In the side.
The dog sprang at him and Burke led It
a chase down Fourth street A car was
running In the same direction. Jim darted

The Only Motor
That Improves With Use
The Willys-Knight motor appeals to every true
economist
It is the only motor in the world that improves
with use.
The longer it runs, the smoother, sweeter and
more powerful it becomes.
All motors are more or less good for the first
three or four thousand miles. Then the
wear, tear and friction start their deadly
work and gradually eat their lives av?ay.
But the sliding sleeves of the Willys-Knighf
Motor get smoother and smoother and
smoother. Each 1000 miles you run add to
its economy and efficiency.
No Willys-Knight Motor has ever worn out
No carbon troubles, no pounding and banging,
practically no gear shifting. Just a gentle
operation that's as smooth as silk and as soft
No valve grinding. Carbon makes it run the
smoother the only motor in the world that
makes an advantage of carbon.
The Knight Motor is the power plant pre-"
ferred by Kings, Queens and royalty of
Europe. They all use it.
And now you can have the same thing at a
popular price.
No other car in the entire history of the auto
mobile business ever attracted such -international
attention. No other new car in the
same price class ever sold so rapidly.
Stop in and have a look at the Willys-Knight
. motor. Drive it yourself and feel its won
derful power, pep and flexibility.
Once you own a Willys-Knight motored car,
you'll never De content to drive anything else.

operators
ACK thirty years ago, when the tele
phone pioneers were just setting
forth on their long path of experience
and progress, bright young boys of
fourteen or fifteen were engaged to
operate the crude contrivances that
were then called switchboards. But
their lanpiiape unci nrmnnpr' wow nnf-
rageous, and tha expediency of em
ploying young women operators was
shortly apparent
To the earnest, studied effort of the
young.women at the switchboards the busi
ness owes much. Telephone operating, to
day, in the Bell System means more than the
self-control and voice modulation we have
come to know so well; all is not mere rule
and rote. Back of it there is personality and
a training of the most careful and scientific
sort
Public requirement and with all right demands a
maximum of speed and efficiency with a minimum of
error. So came to be established the Telephone Schools of In
struction, of which there is one in constant session at 406
Market Street "Here each embryo operator must first show
herself to be "well poised, gracious andlert. The telephone
'language," the voice inflections and finally the intricacies of
the apparatus itself are taught and individually mastered.
After the "theory" there is practice at a real switchboard,
but one without connection to the outside world. The "subscribe
ers" are instructresses and the operator-to-be here trains her fin
gers and her mind by handling "dummy" calls of the hundreds of
varied sorts that will later come to her Though each student oper
ator is paid throughout the several weeks of her instruction she
does not take a position at a central office switchboard until after
having proven her proficiency at the School
This consummate care and detail in the training of operators
insures to the Bell subscriber a service that is as near perfect as
human skill and effort can make it
