(Official City, State and County Newspaper) Substitute for the “Open Wire” New York and Chicago have been linked together: with an underground cable that eliminates the “open wire.” The improvement ia heralded as a new er in telephony. This will lower the hazard of wind and rain storms. The 861 miles of cable weighs approximately 0,000 pounds Experts of the American Telephone and Tele graph company predict eventually the elimination of the “open wire,’ the maintenince of which has caused a heavy overhead, Interest will center in the operation of the firs: 500 wire underground cable between the two great It ned method in communication between the more populous centers. cities is p to use the same Business enterprises everywhere are engaged in against nd inefficiency.

Passes Century Mark “Grandma” Truax of Hastings, Minn, died the; other day in her 104th year.

Science, inven a host of other activities When she was born, the war of 1812 was as fresh in the memory of man as is the World war toda She was 23 years old when the Mexican war was fought and in her forties when the Civil war took place. It is the lot of only a few persons to have liv through so many stirring events ag did “Grandma” Trugx. Slang Sometimes slang impoverishes rather than en-| riches the Janguage. Take the word “dumb,” for instance, which is rap- idly coming to mean “stupid.” Obviously it is the German word “dumm.” more vivid and picturesque than “stupid” and woul’ be ‘an improvement except that it leaves us withow any colloquial word meaning “mute.” If we are going to import “dumm,” then we shoul. import “stumm” also. be “dumb” and one who can not speak be “stumb.” Otherwise we may soon find our colloquial speech incapable of expressing state of inability te vocalize. the Happy Endings The people demand a “happy ending,” say the movie manufacturers No doubt. But does i “happy” ending necessarily mean a stupid one? If kingdoms must be overthrown, cities destroyed, whole peoples martyred and multitudes torture: and slaughtered, all that the final closeup show the right man embracing the right girl, tha is “happy” only on the assumption that audiences have no sense of proportion. Yet this is an exact description of more than onc famous film. It is a strange sense of perspective. Not Perfect An old woman was found in the poorhouse of aa Ohio town. She was born there, 85 years ago, ani thas never been out of it. Officials of the poorhouse aren't at fault. only did what they had to. been robbed of something that can never be repaid to her—in this life, at least. Ours is a great country. like that can happen in it, it is still very far from ‘being perfect. Wage Cuts The textile wage cuts, it is reported, came part at least, because the manufacturers, vexed by Pre ident Coolidge’s refusal to boost the tariff on woolen goods, wanted to take a sly rap at him. Let's hope that report is wrong. It would be shameful thing if the wages of thousands of work: érs were cut merely because certain business men wanted to try to show the president that they think he is wrong.

It is a unique experiment that the city fathers of Savanah, Ga., are launching, and one which has great inherent possibilities. The mayor has ap- pointed a so-called “petticoat council” to confer with the aldermen on city affairs. This council parallels -|that of the city fathers as nearly as possible ex- cept as to actual legislative or executive power, It will convene regularly to discuss municipal affairs and report to the city council and advise with it. It will be known as the advisory board of women. The mayor, in expiaining hig action, says, “I have felt the need of gaining the cooperation of the women of the city. There are many ways in which a woman can aid in building a betterand more pros: perous city. A woman sees things a man does not dream of. ‘Here ig indeed food for thought, The first, and i] undoubtedly unworthy, thought is that His Honor, the mayor, perhaps is running for reelection this fall and would appreciate any little votes the women 3] could drop in the box for him, The other thought le|is that the plan itself is really a good one and there ig no doubt that most communities would benefit by inviting and encouraging the cooperation are an integral part of the + the sailors ultaneous: mped into the water: after me. | Thad gone down in a very danger-| ous place, between the boat and the | dock, and there was great peril of coming up either under the doc’ or under the boat.

Recent discoveries, brimging near- er knowledge of the cause, and per-| haps therefore of the treatment of| cancer, are of very great public and impersonal interest. But do not make the fatal blunder | of thinking that they are of personal interest, to any one now suffering or threatened with cancer. There is nothing so dangerous in} cancer as delay, and the results of these investigations will be long de- layed—much too long to be of use to any present patient. The only thing to do, if you hav anything that resembles cancer, is to seek advice on it quickly, and if it treated by present ,methods, diately. These methods, fortunate- ly, offer a good chance, if used at once. Delay, waiting for new methods, would find those methods useless, even if they were developed. So let no possible sufferer think these re- | ports are for him. His only salvation is to use present knowledge, now. Future knowledge, if it comes, is for the use of others. Why Schepp Took to the Woods Unfortunately, the impersonal view of anything is the rarest thing in the world. Take the much-discussed case of Leonard Schepp, who had more mil- to dispose of beneficially. He asked for suggestions where they would do the greatest good to the greatest number. He was swamp- ed with suggestions how to do the greatest good to the least number— that is, to “me.” Everybody wanted something for himself, and practically nobody had any ideas for the general good. So the poor millionaire fled to the woods, leaving a corps of secretaries to answer with printed form letters.

The Danger in Trying To Cut Rubber Prices Rubber prices are too high. But do not jump too certainly at the conclusion that the only remedy is competition. z Most of the rubber in the world is produced in the British and Dutch Indies. The British combine has. put the price up, with the result that American consumers are paying Britain's installments on its Ameri- can war debt. We can raise rubber in the Phil- ippines, and perhaps should. But if we did, we should want to join the same combine. There are enough hearing rubber trees now to overproduce the mar- ket.
