While the national director complains that "it is impossible to get the right kind of men to do the work that has to be done," his explanation does not explain as long as the Volstead Act is law, and all law should be enforced. Just why there should be a scandal in law enforcement of any kind is not clear, There may be laxity of law enforcement in other dii'ec-tion- s but it i3 due to inerta rather than to crookedness we imagine. It may take a thief to catch a thief, but the thief who is an officer of the law will not do much catchinc if he is stealing himself The whole matter seems to sift down To a question of citizenship, if it be true that good men cannot be secured to enforce national and state prohibitory laws. Editorial ENFORCEMENT SCANDALS Ever since the enforcment of the Volstead act was undertak-en there have been scandals of one kind or another involving enforcement officers. While many of these scandals have in their details not been publicly discussed, the fact remains that they have resulted in the shift-ing of enforcement officers, the .( of enforcement forces, and occasionally in the dropping of men. Transfer of officers has for a time resulted Prlmi 8 port in ftwordfishUtg.

But before she plugs into the multiple jack, she places the plug on the rim of the jack, which is a little metal-rimme- d hole. If the line is busy, she hears a click and so reports "the line is busy" The test takes but the frac-o- f a second. From the opera-tor's viewpoint it is much more advantagous to complete a call than to be obliged to report the line busy, because in most cases the calling party will ask for the number again and con-tinue until the call is completed, thus entailing far more work upon the operator than would have been the case had the call been completed the first time. Sometimes a) subscriber's line is reported busy, and the called subscriber afterward declares that he or she was within hear-ing distance of the telephone all the time. The explanation of that is. that the called suh. scriber is on a party line which is being used by some other subscriber on the line. In spite of unavoidable inter-ferences, the fact remains that the proportion of calls complet-ed promptly is overwhelmingly greater than the delayed or lost calls, and this must be so if a telephone company is to do a profitable business, because be-side the inconvenience and an-noyance to its patrons, incom-pleted calls represent lost busi-ness and expense for which it receives no return. "LINE BUSY" Eugene H. Jenkins, the new-ly appointed manager of the Telephone Co. in the following article describes some of the "truths" in connection with the operation of a switch-boar- d when a line is reported "Busy." When a switchboard opera-tor, in answer to a subscriber's call, reports "the line is busy," it naturally causes some an-noyance and sometimes the call-ing subscriber feels that a prop-er effort has not been made by the operator. A simple explanation of the work involved in completing a connection will help to disabuse anyone's mind of the fallacy that the operator can save her-self any time or labor by re-porting a line as busy without finding out whether it is or not. The operator, in completing a call, uses a pair of flexible cords terminating in metal tips. One of these she inserts in an an-swering jack which connects her with the calling subscriber, and the other she inserts in the multiple jack of the called sub-- The Dadalst Miss Catherine Wendell of New York, who is to marry Lord Porches-ter- , heir td the earl of Carnarvon, is as witty as she Is beautiful. At a studio tea she said one day: "The new movements in painting cubism and dadalsm and so on make it difficult for us amateurs to criticize discreetly. "A very modern painter was about to show me a new painting. As he took the cloth from oft the easel I clasped my hands and said:. " 'Oh, how lovely 1 " 'Walt a minute,' said he. 'It's up-side down.' Then he turned the painting round and I said: "Oh, now It's lovelier still f " BUTTERFIELD TUNNEL GOES AHEAD Axel Rhodes who has charge of the development work at the Butterfield Tunnel for the Uni-ted States Mining Co. was in camp this week and reports ex-cellent progress in the clearing up of the tunnel. From 18 to 20 men are being employed and about 75 feet a day is the aver-age clean-u- p by this number of men, besides cleaning up the badly caven parts of the drift a new track and air-lin- e is be-ing installed. The total length of the tunnel to the face of the drift is 8,800 feet and over 5,000 feet of that work ha3 al-ready been accomplished since operations commenced some six months ago, in that time a new has been install-ed and a bunk house and all the necessary offices have been built together with the work done in the tunnel.
