So intimately has the telephone won its way into the very lives of the people of today, that a general cessation of the service would be nothing less more. For we all know what writers say, .They had to give themselves away, And the same sad story said. They had to .sell themselves for bread. Now some say that those days are than a national calamity. u By the way, has jt been noticed that while every other commodity has been steadily raising in price, and while the cost of materials required in the furnishing of telephone service is constantly increasing, telephone rates' in general have remained the same? v our total revenues and our operating costs Gradually the margin between close for comfort. too are lines has narrowed until the Washington was a servant of the public; but he was never confronted with the problem of conducting a public service with a fixed rate of income,, and . i. trying to make this balance with steadily increasing costs.

In such a case the fire may not occur until some hours later. The burning of the residence of JohniWanamaker, several years ago, was due to an electric pressing iron. That this form of hazard is already assuming large porportions appears from the statistics. For example, the Actuarial Bureau of the National Board of Fire Underwriters in one day noted approximately one hundred reports of fires from this cause, out of a total of two thousand losses in the days ref ports, and it estimates thatv small electrical devices are causing fires at the rate of 30,000 or more in the course of a year. It is safe to say that most of these fires are entirely preventable, and can be charged to nothing but carelessness on the part of the user. Various safety" devices have been added by certain of the manufacturers of these articles, and among them are some that are fairly effective, but there is one absolute precaution which should be borne in mind at all times by every user, namely, that of shutting off the current when not personally arid continuously supervising the use. v g g g I g g g g g g s g g g gj g 1 g r Regular $2.00 and $3.00 Hats go for 98c.
