A Very Unusual Display of Linens « McCutcheon's The Outfit for the Palacio Presidencial (The Cuban White House) BB Ree RB Bed Dire Vd Bei BW Wer Bw DY Considerable interest attaches to the display in our Fifth Avenue windows this week. We are showing there some of the Damask Table Linens from the wonderful assortment of household Linens which we provided for the Palacio Presidencial, at Havana, Cuba. This Cuban “White House” requires over 5,000 pieces to equip it properly—much more than we could possibly display in the windows at one time. “The balance of the goods may be seen at our counters. Make sure you see them all. This is the largest single outfit of Linens we have ever provided and we have supplied many very wonderful Trousseaux and outfits in our more than sixty years of specializing in Linens. Everything about this collection, Damasks, Fancy Linens, Bed Linens, Towels, etc., it is needless to say, is of the very best, in quality and style. This is without doubt a most comprehensive “linen chest,’”’ and we may safely aver that no other linen house in America was so well equipped to fill an order of such magnitude, especially in these war times, as ourselves—-it was an order that taxed in some pelt. even the capacity of “THE LINEN STORE.” We have prepared a leaflet that gives many more interesting facts = LEA TA ask kk Jon The Cuban Coat of Arms re- produced in hand-embroidery BB BYR BBN BB DARDS By Bad Bed BEY BV BBY BY BY Be ed because he had to climb a high fence to escape from th bi night, was reported completely rocov- Hila tineng was due to an TIMP) OGIO TE * FIRST REGISTRATION TO-DAY Month Must Register During This Week, HTS is the first day of regis- tration this year and the frat time the opportunity has been offered to women In this eity to prepare for participation in @ general election Every #0n who hopes to vote at the elec~ tion next month must register, The number of election districts {a greater this year than ever be-~ fore, and it will be increased again after the coming election.

'BURLESON’S PHONE INSTALLATION RATES STR PROTEST HERE (Continued from First Page.) that the “moving charge” to the sub- scriber will be the “actual cost of labor and material necessary to make the change.” However, this latter provision was changed by another bulletin which Was issueG on Sept. 14, The supple- mental bulletin says: “The ‘moving charge referred to in Orders No, 1931 applies only to changes in the loca- tion ‘of equipment on the premises, Such changes are generally known as ‘Inside moves.’ For purposes of econ- omy in administration and for the convenience of the public the charge for moving a@ telephone set from one location to another on the same prem- ines shall be $3. The charge for mov ing all other equipment from one lo- cation to another in the same prem~ {ses shall be based on the cost of labor and material.” What is the difference between the present order under Federal manage- ment and the old order when the New York Telephone Company was under the supervision of the Public Service Commission, Second District? Before Postmaster General Burleson’s bulletin began to ar- rivi he New York Telephone Company did not charge a cent for installing a telephone unless the stringing of wires and the ki negligible. “If the New York Telephone Com- pany as a private company asked me to pay $15 for Installing @ phone,’ said one indignant subscriber, “I wouldn't hesitate about laying the matter before the District Attorney, But now | guess the companies feel they ean go the limit.” ‘The idea of charging a good, faith- fully paying consumer $3 for trans- ferring his phone from a bedroom to a Hbr or some other room was not concelyed until the Burleson bul- letins began to issue from Wasbing- ton to every State in the Nation, The companies under private control were pleased to make the change gratis. And the old New York Telephone Company did not do so badly before the Government took It over, despite fact that it bore the expense of ctically all installations and nd soak you $3 for transferring a phone from One room to another, Public records show that it paid its stock- holders 8 per cent, and was regarded 4s one of the soundest and best-pay- Ing corporations in the country. There is still ahotber charge under the new order of things which ts re- garded as the most unjustifiable of all, Lt is a $3 imposition fur “change of names.” If John Jones, who has a telephoné, moves away without dis- and regulating. —Adv: Teeth Without Plates gas an who moves in and wants the use of John Jones's former telephone must the telephone company's books.

Before the acheduics fixed by the up-State Public Service Sommissiqn were put into effect there | wore numerous 10-cent phone rates between the different boroughs of tne greater city. This paper's battle for @ flat 6-cent phone rate was won de spite the most formidable opposition. t Postmaster Burleson proposes going Into telephone rates quite as deeply as hi jalved into other hases of the t one service is best indicated by one of his latest bulle- Una, It reads; “Order No, 1998—David J. Lewis, Chairman; Harry B. Thayer, Vice [tance American Telephone and elograp! Company, an* Charlies Y. McVey, President of the Ohio State Telephone Company, are hereby des- innated to make the necessary stud- Jer and recommendations to the Post- master General, with a view .> standardizing the rate schedules of telephone service throughout the United States.” Holders of. telephone company stocks are in hopes that the “stand- ardization of rate schedules” through- out the United States, as asked for by Mr, Burleson, will mean increased rates here. They contend that if, after the war, the Government turns back the companies to their private owners, present co! will not be lowes ‘The com: will contend that if Mr. Burleson says rates and c rges are all right, the" must re- main #0, on the ind that if the Government can no wrong, they can't either, HIGHER PHONE RATES COMING, DECLARES VAIL Sounds Warning to Pubfic in An- nouncing Terms of Financial Agreement With Government. In announcing the terms of the financial agreement just executed be- | Mrs. Ch: tween the Post Office Department and | 5; the telephone interests, President Vaii| = of the American Televhone and Tel- egraph Company gave significant warning to the public that increased rates are coming under Federal con- trol, “The public should bear in mind,” gays the announcement by President Vail, “that we are in ‘the midst of very abnormal times. Scarcity of labor, high costs of living and great increases in de- mands on service, which are con- ested and not well distributed, will, create conditions which it will be dificult for telephone sya- tems to meet no matter how much charges and wages are increased, and some consideration must be given before criticism is indulged in.” The agreement between the tele- phone interests and the Post Office Department provide for a continuance of the present financial policy of the Bell Telephone companies and a guar- antee by the Government for payment of bond interest and stock dividends at the present rates. _—_—_ RELIEF FOR WAR’S BLIND.
