! pulled the cork

There was a poker game in town
recently and a certain colored fel-
low was being taught how to play.
Next day he told me he lost one big
pot because the other fellow had
four tens and he only had four
ones.

That’s Good Stuff
A certain woman from Florin
came to town and bought a bottle
of oil for making hair grow. She

with her teeth and next morning
i she had a mustache.

Since we're talkin’ about the wo-
men, I want to tell you that they
live much longer than men. They're
bound - to because a local painter
tells me that paint is a great pre-
servative.

A woman in town was asked by
‘her neighbor if she doesn’t miss her
husband since he’s away for two
weeks. She replied: “Not at all, I
have a dog that growls, a parrot
that swears, a lamp that smokes,
Land a cat that stays out at night.”

A lot of fellows were talking
about some of the big stock holders
we have here in town but they real-
ly forgot the biggest one is the fel-
low out at C. S. Frank & Bro.’s
sales, who holds all the cows while
they are being milked on sales day.
I heard a fellow bawl his wife
out to beat the cars and, really he
had a reason. He said she had no
darn business to let corn-plasters
lying on the dresser when they look
so very much like life saver candy.
I saw a lady go down Main street
on Sunday afternoon and, while it’s
quite natural for them to buy their
clothes on the installment plan, by
all appearances she was wearing
her’s that way.

A Lancaster pastor and Judge
Landis were in an argument . The
preacher said: “You ‘can only send
a man to jail but I can consign
hell.” Judge Landis re-
plied: “That’s true but when I send
them they go.”

Hopeless
Yeast makes the loaf work but, my
dear
What doth my sad soul sorely irk
Is that theyll never find, I fear,
A thing to make the loafer work.
John Easton, up at Florin, said
he found this piece of poetry on the
desk of one of the stenogs at their
plant. He didn’t say,but I believe
it was written by Hazel Webb.

I overheard two women talk;
“It’s just too bad!” said one,
“Fach time I go to take a walk;
The way these stockings run.”

A little youngster, about four
years old, came down street and I
noticed a big bump on its head. I
said: “Did you get that riding on
your kiddie car?’ The child said:
“No, I got it when I falled off.”

VAGUUM TUBES USED 'f
ON LONG DISTANCE

Telephone Circuits Require
Tubes on Long Lines for
Amplifying Voice Sounds
A vacuum tube similar to that in
ase on radio sets is needed for long-
distance telephone wires. Like the
amplifying units on a radio outfit the
tube is used to intensify the voice
sounds so that they are carried to
their destinations “with the same vol-
ume as when they are spoken into
the transmitter.
These tubes are placed in long-dis- '
tance telephone circuits over 3(@® miles
long at intervals of “rom forty to fifty
miles so that the voice currents, irre-
spective ‘of the distance traveled, are
continuously strong and clear.
One of the first results accom- |
plished through the use of these tubes
was the reduction in the size of the
copper wires uscd for long-distance |
conversations. Wire as thick as an |
overhead trolley feeder was formerly
needed to talk from New York to
Denver, Colorado. Nowadays, through
the use of the tubes, together with
the so-called “loading coils” and im-
provements in cable, wire as thin as
that used for local calls can be em-
ployed. :
The “loading coils” are likewise
needed on long-distance circuits.
While it is possible to talk over short
distances without them, their installa-
ion in the circuits about a mile apart
serves to reduce the wire resistance
and to neutralize the electrical ef-
fect of the copper wires on each other.
Telephone amplification is _ more
difficult than that of the radio be-
cause it has to be a two-way amplifi-
cation. Radio fans do not find it
necessary to talk back into the ether
over the antenna while a one-way
telephone conversation would be
manifestly unsatisfactory.
- UNDERGROUND VAULT |

Telephone equipment is found on
the surface of the ground, overhead,
under ground and under water.
is an underground cable vault in a
Pittsburgh central office. Similar
vaults are found at all central of-
fices and are the locations where
lines from subscribers’ telephones are
led into the office and thence con-
ducted to the equipment and switch-
boards on the upper floors.
ABOUT 6,600 BUILDINGS
IN TELEPHONE SYSTEM
Include Garages, Warehouses,
Factories, Shops and Even
Hospitals

There are close to 6000 buildings
small “repeater” stations for long-
distance calls on the western prairies
to the huge office buildings and cen-
tral offices found in large metropoli-
tan centers. The list of buildings in-
cludes garages, warehouses, factories,
shops, office buildings and even hos-
pitals, says a recent article in the
Bell Telephone Quarterly.
About 2000 buildings are company-
owned central offices. They represent
a capital investment of close to $50,-
000,000 in land and something over
$200,000,000 in buildings. Their floor
area is well over 30,000,000 square
feet and provides working space for
about 250,000 employes.
The entire time of over 6000 people
is required to insure that all com-
are adequately heated, lighted and
serviced. Close to 2500 people are
needed to cook for and wait upon
Bell Telephone employes who secure
meals in telephone buildings. Hun-
dreds of electricians, machinists,
carpenters, painters and other me-
chanics are regularly employed for
the making of minor repairs, altera-
tions and replacements.
In addition, several hundred tele-
phone engineers in the system de-
vote the major portion of their time
and energies to the problems involved
in planning new central offices. They
must decide the relative advantages
of available sites for building and
must plan the most promising build-
ing and equipment arrangements.
When these engineering plans are
completed, they form the basis for
the architectural plans of the build-
ing.

Editorial Spotlight

What would this nation be without
the telephone? We enjoy its maxi-
mum development here. The time-
saving resulting from its use is so
great that it cannot be figured. It
is one of the chief reasons why the
United States, one of the largest na-
tions in territory, but with only 110,-
000,000 population, can show such
~ecord-breaking achievements and de-
velopment in all sections—there is no
isolation.

T ISN'T often that romance may
be traced to its roots. Usually it
is not recognized until it bursts into
bloom.
So, when Ned Christie told Helen
Gage that she was made for him she
did not believe it,
“How do you
saucily.
“Has your mother never told you
know?” she asked,
about our earliest days—yours and
mine, dear?” he asked.
Helen shook the head that would
have been a riot of curls if she had
permitted them to grow long enough.
Ned was thoughtful for a moment.
He was wondering why Helen's moth-
er had withheld the wonderful story
from her daughter,
“Well—is it such a deep-dyed se-
cret that no one can tell me?’ asked
Helen, still frivolously. She was very
happy, very much in love and nothing
else mattered.
“No-0. It's just—beautiful,” said
her serious lover.
“As beautiful as our romance?”
asked Helen.
“It is our romance,” he told her.
Helen cuddled up under the shelter
of his big arm as they sat together
in the big chintz-covered swing.
“Then—tell me, please, Ned-die,” she
implored.
Ned stroked her fair, shingled head.
He did not tell her, but he looked for-
ward to the day when Dame Fashion
would permit the golden curls to
grow again,
“Well 7’ urged the girl at his side.
He laughed. “It seems funny—my
telling you this.”
“I don't want to know it—if it's
funny. I don’t feel like listening to
anything humorous,” she pouted.
“It is—the most beautiful romance
in the whole world,” he said, solemn-
ly. “You were a tiny girl—a wee
baby in arms and—your mother had
wanted you to be a boy.”
Helen sat up and was about to pro-
test when he soothed her into acquies-
cence again.
“My mother had
ed because I was a mere boy when
she had always wanted a daughter.
Our mothers had been friends since
college days. They had confided in
each other and when each one was
frustrated in her wish for a child of

another sex—they still confided. 1

about, dear, but little by little yon

learned to love us almost equally.
it was good for us both, as 1 see it
now. You remember when we went
to the village school how you used
yours?”
“Yes—and the fun I
with all your things,”
used to have
added Helen,
“Then we went away to college and
—well, you know we seemed to grow
apart. Your mother, for the first
time, appreciated the value of a love-
ly daughter—"
“I bow,” interrupted Helen, in mock |
humbleness. i
“And my blessed mother began to |
be proud of a big son. There was a
certain, well-controlled jealousy In
her attitude when I used to want to
go to your house so much during va-
cation, and I noticed that when you
came to visit us, vour mother came
along. Tt was amusing—then.”
“But what happened after mother
took me to Eurgpe? Did they quarrel
—or what?’ asked Helen, serious,
now.
“Yes—I never knew exactly how it
came about but my mother must have
said something about your belonging
to her eventually, after all. Meaning,
of course, that you’d marry me—"

as-
“The idea,” began Helen with
perity.
“Wait a minute, dear,” consoled !
Ned. “It has all come out right,
hasn’t it?”
Helen had moved away and was
wearing a disturbed expression. “If
I'd known that—that—that my own
darling mother didn’t want me to mar-
ry you I never would have promised.
I was just going against her.”
Ned was several minutes trying to |
tell her to wait until he could explain.
“Before you came back from |
abroad, your mother and mine had
written many letters that cleared the
situation for them and they fell into
each others’ arms when you returned.
Each one declared that we—you and
I—were made for each other and that
a kindly and wise Providence had ar-
ranged it all—that we had been
brought up with the same background,
the same sort of education
received
and been given the same vision from
home. They decided that they were
selfish to have quarreled and—well, |
that each of them had gained, at last, |
her heart’s desire. Your was |
to have her son and mine was to have i
a daughter. 1 don’t mind saying that
1 think my mother is getting the
of the bargain, dear.” !

“1 can’t subscribe to that, but 1
do think mother might have told me
all about it.”
“1 believe she was afraid, deep
down in her heart, Helen, that if you
believed she had picked out a hus-
band for you while you were still in
your cradle, you would have none of
him. She was wise in keeping her se-
cret wishes from you until it was too
inte for you to bolt,” laughed Ned.
“And it is—too late—isn’t it?”
“Alas—it is,” answered Helen.

Bifocal Glasses Now
Ascribed to Franklin
It is not generally known that Ben-
Jamin Franklin was the inventor of a |
musical instrument which he “called |
an “armonica,” to be played with the
fingers. This he described as “glasses
blown as nearly as possible in the
form of hemispheres,” of varying sizes
and each fitted with a hole or “socket”
in the center. With cork bushings
the spheres were mounted upon a
spindle long enough to accommodate
a “keyboard” of three octaves, the
spindle being turned, very much like
a sewing machine, by a treadle. The
largest spheres were nine inches in
diameter, the smallest three inches,
and all of them were ground very thin
at the outside edges. They were tuned
by grinding them into agreement with
the notes of a harpsichord, writes
Archibald Douglas in Popu
lar Science Monthly, |
Franklin gave a few pointers on |
how to play this instrument: “Wet
the glasses with a sponge, of clean wa-
ter occasionally, Turn the spindle
away from you. By drawing the fin-
gers over the wet glasses the melody
is produced—a glorified application of
running a finger around the top of a
tumbler,
Franklin also is credited with hav-
ing designed the earliest bifocal spec-
tacles. A pair of such lenses was con-
structed under his personal direction
in Paris. In describing it, he wrote
that it had long been known that men
often needed one lens for reading and
another for distinguishing distant ob-
jects. His own experience was the
usual one—having two pairs of $pec-
tacles, he always had the wrong one
at hand. And at table he needed both
pairs, one for seeing his food, the
other for reading the expression on
the face of his opposite French neigh-
bor.
Having
split lens,
hit upon the idea of the
the two parts differently
ground and then glued together, he
was delighted. He was now able to
manage both food and friends merely
by dropping his eyes or raising them.
The device, he declared, as well as
the rather Gallic gesture of the eyes
in “making it easier to understand
and be understood” in Paris, has
“helped my French wonderfully.”
“Devil’s Wife’s Fire”
No one for
aurora borealis with any lucid scien-
tific description, and of a certainty no
one can describe its appearance
through the medium of words. The
best explanation, because the simplest,
is the one that was told me by an
Eskimo friend. a wee copper woman
of quaintly Oriental charm:
“Devil and him wife live all time
big hole.” And she pointed away to
the North. “Devil wife make big fire
in him hole. Cook him meat. Devil
wife poke him fire. Make big light In
him sky.”

Popular Belief Wrong
The popular belief that a person
falling from a great height is dead
before he reaches the ground has been
proved untrue by numerous cases of
people who have fallen almost 200
feet and lived. In some eases of per-
sons with weak hearts the shock of
feeling themselves falling has caused
such a great
of the blood in the heart that it has
ruptured that organ. The shock
causes all the muscles to contract vio-
lently, the muscles compress the blood
and thus the blood is driven
toward the heart. The falling itself,
however, could not hurt a normal per-
son. It Is the “sudden stop” which
kills.

We moved in last November,
And distinetly I remember
"Twas the steam heat that she want-
ed and she said,
She was crazy, in addition,
For a dining room in mission
And the den was simply perfect,
Being red.
Now she’s weary of the mission
Dining room. It’s her ambition
To serve ham and eggs in one
With Pancled walls;
And she wanted a bedroom pink,
And a wider kitchen sink,
And some blue and yellow paper
In the halls.
Every autumn, every spring,
Just like birds we're on the wing,
For a change in decorations
We go hiking;
And I'll gamble when she dies
That her mansion in the skies
Won’t be furnished just exactly
To her liking.
