OPEN FIGHT FOR EXPORT
LICENSE OFFICE HERE
WASHINGTON. July 12.
That Philadelphia business Interests will
rage a blttr tight against any attempt to
make them do their exporting business
through Baltimore or any secondary port
wai the information given to Secretary of
Commerce Rcdfleld by C-mgressmnn J.
Hampton Moore today.
The plan of the department to gle Baltl.
more one of the seven export exemption
boards and deny Philadelphia one has cre
ated a show of opposition among big ox
porters In the Pennsylvania metropils
Congressman Moore had conference-! at
the Depirtment of Commerce fdiy with
Secretary Redfield and Doctor Pratt, chief
of the Bureau of IVrelgn nnd Domestic
Commercs respecting th? Philadelphia com.
pl'"fs
The Congressman urged the department
to ariangi- f r treatment for Philadelphia
shipper" e'tinl to that received by those of
any other port On behalf rf the Buieau
of Fore'gn apd Domestic Cnmmerc" It was
explained that the department bad no In
tentlon to do business through nny other
ajencv than Its own. the difficulty being
that Philadelphia at present ban no direct
department agent tt was explained to th,c
Corjressman that the f"irte'phja com
print would be carefully c-ttisldered nnd
that it was pr bnble a sat'sfnetory ar
rangement would be nnrte or t'wt all appli
cations for licenses vould le mad direct
to Washington Thla tltuatlon, it was
stated would be fullv e.-:ii'ilnej to the Phil,
ndelphla business Interest".
One of the troubles fs-evl bj the. ox
port board Is that It lies proposed to deal
through the local chambers f c-immerce in
me various ports This has antagonized the
members of the Bourse, board of trade and
olhr commercial interests in Philadelphia.
,Tnless the department worlo out a sys
tem to handle the Philadelphia business in
such a way as to ellmlnnte delay that would
result from handling its business through
some ether port, the fight will bo carried to
the floor of the House.

Keep the
Telephone Cord Dry
The green cord running from your tele
phone to the bell-box and from the re
ceiver to the base of the telephone is made
up of tinsel wire strands wrapped with
fabric.
Despite its flexibility it is made to with
stand reasonably hard usage, but contact
with water will almost invariably cause
a "short" and put the telephone out of
service. N
Wet umbrellas, layed on or against the
cord, are the chief offenders. Spilled
water is almost as troublesome, as are
wet hands and wet cleaning cloths.
There even has been a recent case of
service interruption due to a baby chew
ing the cord.
Particularly during the rainy spells'-of
spring and summer should these troub
les be guarded against, as in ivct
weather they are more difficult to de
tect and correct.
