Of course, the repairs are made promptly no matter what happens, but the user is necessarily deprived of Ills service for at least a short time when such an accident occurs and this might be the time when the telephone would be most needed. It is therefore in the subscriber's own interest that we suggest that care be taken not to damage the instrument. Windows left open in summer, admitting a sudden rain storm, are also responsible for a great many cases of trouble. Occasionally a bottle of ink or glass of water is overturned, wetting the telephone^ cord, and this also causes trouble. Subscribers will aid us in giving them tl^p service by taking good care of the equipment. 4 ILLINOIS BELL TELEPHONE COMPANY BELL SYSTEM One Policy - One System * Universal Service f 11.66 30 SJ6 &00 21.98 46.20 Council Room, June 4, 1928.

While comparatively rare in America and Europe, this disease Is common in tropical countries. In most cases white patches are formed, around whose edges the pigment is darker. Gradually the spots coalesce, and finally the white area maf cover the whole body. _ 1 ABOUT THE DINNER dinner wouldn't amount to * much without our presence," said the lamb roast. "You would burn and you would not be very nice," said the water which had been put into the tin with the lamb to keep it from burning, "if it were not for the water." "And you could never be cooked if It were not for me," said the stove. "And you would never have been lighted if it had not been for me." said a match which was now what would be called a "used match." "And you would have gone very flueerly If we had not been turned just as we should have been," said the dampers belonging to the stove. "The oven would never have become Warm If we had not made the fire barn well," said the members of the Coal family.

Wooden Head* Save Time Those who possess wooden heads save time, according tj» milliners of Paris who recently Introduced tbS Idea. The wooden model of the head of each fashionable dresser is left with the hat maker, who tits the creation to the form and delivers it to the wearer without waste of time for tryons. All milady has to do is to select the style, and the milliner does . rest "Yet It Is a Great Taler Human life as Joseph Conrad had seen and experienced It since childhood was for most people a Quiet desperation. The history of men on this earth, he remarked, might be written on a cigarette paper "In one phrase of Infinite poignancy": "They < were born, they suffered, and they died. . . . And yet It Is a great tale." --Wilbur Cross in the Yale Review. He Had a Match A man was shown to his room In a small country-town hotel by a small bellboy. Looking around to see what the prospects were for comfort, the guest saw a stub of cigar lying on the dresser anu said: "Look there, son." "I got some matches, If yen want to finish It," quickly said the accommodating youngster. CmUm SHU Tothi in hurt* of England It weald be Interesting to know how many English places still keep up the ancient custom of the curfew bell. Hali3ham, In Sussex, Is one, for It has Just been announced that a fund Is being raised to pay the ringers. The Devon town of Okehampton Is another, and not so very long ago Ludlow rang, maybe still does ring, both evening curfew and the morning rising bell, while a very well-known instance occurs at Oxford, where "Great Tom" booms out each night at nine to announce the closing of the college gates. It is generally supposed that curfew was Introduced into England by William the Conqueror, but, though the point Is not absolutely decided, many competent authorities believe thaft William only tightened up an existing regulation which perhaps dated from the time to Alfred the Great / Nor was it really snch an oppressive measure as is sometimes supposed, though the penalties for nonobservance were certainly harsh. In those days of little or no artificial light, people went to bed at dusk, and as the houses were nearly all of wood and the fires quite open, neglect of the simple precaution of covering up the embers might mean the burning down of a whole village. Every evening the curfew bell may be heard, with the same regularity as of old, being rung from the bell tower of Chichester cathedral. After It has finished, the cathedral bell then tolls out the number of the day of the month. One felt sorry for the bell ringer on the thirty-first day of the, <£» month, although he may have con soled himself with the thought that he would only have to pull the bell once on the following night The ceremony Is still kept up at WInwIck church (near Warrington) from Sep tember 25 to March 25. At WInwIck the curfew is rung on one bell for five minutes; then, after a pause, the date of the month Is tolled out. 4* #- Chinese Gibberish!

"You wouldn't be • so good if we weren't to go along with you for the dinner," said the potatoes to the lamb. "You wouldn't be a real meal If we didn't come along, too," said the bread. "And what about butter?" asked the butter. The lamb was cooking and eras becoming nice and brown on the oatside. "Every one wants water," said the jug which at that moment was being filled with water. "Every one wants fravy," said the gravy. "And they do need a dessert" said the apple pie as It waited plate. "And a cap of tea will be welcomed by several at the table," said the tea as it was being introduced to the bolllog water. "Of course," said the salt, "some of you--such as the lamb and the potatoes would not be very good If we didn't go along with you. "We were needed by you, potatoes, when you were being prepared." i "I know who'll ask for three lumps of sugar In their tea," said the sugar In the sugar bowl. "And milk will be asked for, too." said the milk in the milk Jug. * "The pie Would never have been plaj, without us," said the apples, "at least: it would never have been apple pie!" "And the pie tifcust would have been a sad pie crust If it hadn't been for flour and baking powder, butter, water and a little salt," said these thingstogether.
