Telephone Directory vs. Encyclopedia ACHIEVEMENT DAY PROGRAM ENJOYED ir JUNG LfttDNER lio tiie Editor: , 1'lity seems to be a few people in the Uliited States that still thinks we wasn't justified or something in declaring war on Germany, but I guess these bi. ds would feel different if they stopped to think that It was a German that invented the telephone and if Louvain and the sinking of the Louisiana was a crime, what about the invention of the telephone which comes from the 2 Greek words tele, meaning far off, aud phoue, meaning sound and maybe it is on accL of me liveiug in Great Neck which isn't far from tiie SoundJjgJiy maybe that is w$y the telephon^pervice isn't, sowed you know. / When a uian stops to think that the telephones are, invented by a German, why you can't help but believe the rest about them (or insC inventing tear gas and eta but not only that belt it also shows bow vs. democracy they was when ttiey invented something that uoLtody but only the leisure class can use because for Inst. 1 and you could not uever afford it even If we only toured our time on 10c per br. which uobudy gets as little as that now days only the president of Harvard college or a soldier or something I-or Inst, if 1 am out here in Great Neck and want to talk to somebody in N. V. L'ityvwhy it wouldn't only cost i..e al*»ui»$-.0U to go down there .ti. I see uieiu why if I telephoned it woulo l»e 30c for the call and 2 days to it.it it through and if 1 worked «.u a 8 lir basis ou 10c per hr. why thai wuultl be a total of $1.50 for the - utt;.» thai It took for them to put tht* i:-it-|ihone call through where L coulu p> down aud see them and get b.ick m-3 lira, or some such figure. But in i.ie case of the leisure class. It's diiicitur as the only real work they halt i<> do the whole yr. around Is ui;;ke oui iheir income tax blanks which ou,.\ takes 3 mouths to figure out how iliey can beat the gov't, and if it was u«i( for the telephone they wouidn t know what to do the rest of their lime where us now when they get lired t poker and bridge and etc. and have got a few days left on their bands why ail as they half to do to kill a couple of days is try and get aouietR>dy on the telephone. But 1 <l«n't want my geuiul reader* to think this crabby article means that 1 don I hold no brief for the telephone company. Ou the other baud. if it was uot for « German in the telephone why they wouldn't of been no American inveutlng the telephone directory which is the greatest institution we got left here from a amusement pu of view. The telephone directory has never been gave the credit it deserves and personly 1 have got 1 regret In life which is that 1 didn't keep all tbe telephone directories which was ever gave to me as it would save me from buying a cyclopedia which costs $29 a case which opposed to a telephone directory that don't cost nothing If you "ever get it and has got 8 or V times as many names in it and besides that the names in the cyclopedia is 90% dead compared to the names in the telephone directory which is only 80% dead when you try and call them up. 1 also wished 1 could bring 4th a modern vol. to prove my assertions, but unfortunately the only telephone books 1 got in the bouse is the latest one from Great Neck where you already know the number of the grocery store and the butcher shop and the taxi cab Co. and Mr. Quan who loans you money and also the N. Y. City telephone directory of May 2, 1U1T. and 1 suppose if I live here a couple more yeart they will give me a October book of 1017 and keep me op to date. So I will half to prove my point It any by quoting from the N. Y. C telephone directory of Uay 2. ldfTT as follows as they say: In the first place it says tbat usefull information can be found on Page 17. So you turn to i'age 17 and tiie first thing that strikes you in the eyeball is a ad tbat says we sell artificial limbs tbat fit Well, suppose that some morning you was to wake up and havel a cravelng for a artificial limb that flt you and you didn't know how to go aboat If to get one and they was not no telephone directory in the home why here would you be at? You would half to call np and ask for Information which Is another word for practical Joke and they would ttuely give you a firm tbat sold artificial limbs that didn't come near fitting and you would buy 1 and half to walk down the sL all out of kilter and peo pie would look at you and make yot feel like a fool. On rage 22 they give you Information for telephone users which they don't claim is usefull bat It says you can call information free of charge and also the Co. wants criticism but It should always be made by telephone. why by the time you reach the party it would be S or 4 yrs. later and the management would of changed. All told, lt looks to me like the telephone which was made in Germany was enough excuse for us fighting them where as the telephone directory which was made In America Is a work that ought to go down in history like "Huckleberry Finn" or "Casey Jones" or »ometblng. P. 8. The book also says that they have got rest rooms for operators but don't say nothing about rest room# for birds that call up. 2nd. Elsie (A ky tk« Bait ft -- i m . ) C l u b , Hebron.

The Huguenots A N INSANE man, foaming at thf mouth and muttering lucohereuf prayers to the salnta, crouched In the embrasure of one of the upper windows of the palace of the Louvre, at Paris, on the night of August 24, 157& He was gripping a gold-chased musket which he tired at intervals into the throng of panic-stricken men and women who rushed screaming alouq the dark street below. tThe madman was King Charles IX of France, son of that Henry II who had told William the Silent of a plan to massacre ail the Huguenots in France. A series of strange events had led up to this midnight scone of wholesale murder The l'rotestant creed (started many years before in Germany by Martin Luther) had spread into France. But there It had, to a great extent, lost its religious significance. The French Protestants (or "Huguenots," as they were called) became largely a political P®rty. The so-called religions wars, massacres, etc.. In France during the Sixteenth and Seventeenth centuries had far more political than pious slg nlflcance. Henry II had married, for political reasons, an Italian woman, Catherine de Medici, daughter of the mugnifloo. or lord, of Florence. Henry neglected her, and in his lifetime she was of little consequ< nee. But on his death she came to the front as the most pow erful, most dangerous power of her time. Among other Italian custom* she introduced into France were assassination by poison. She had foui sons--Francis II (who married Mary Queen of Scots), Charles.Vjienry and Francois. All died childless, and.three of them (Francis II, Charles IX aud Uenry III) were successively kings of France. The Lorraine family, whose head was the duke of GuJse, were all-pow erful at court.

Henry jras head of the Bourbon family, as Charles IX was of the Valols family. In 1502 civil war broke out between Guise's followers and the Huguenots. Conde was captured and killed. Guise was murdered. His son, who succeeded to the dukedom, declared that Admiral Collgny was his father's assassin and swore blood vengeance on him. At last '.he Huguenots grew so powerful, tbat Catherine feared them as much as she had once feared the Guises, and she threw her Influent with the latter. Charles LX had mean time come to manhood and was strong ly In favor of the Huguenots. He loved Coligny and regarded Henry of Navarre as his own brother. Catherine viewed with alarm this attitude of her son. Then she and Guise concocted a plot that has made both their names odious. They arranged a marriage between Charles' sister, Margaret, and Henry of Navnrre, and Invited all the Huguenots In France to come to Paris for the ceremony. The wedding occurred August W, 1572. While ihe festivities were in progress Catherine hastened to Charles with the false news that Collgny and other Huguenots were conspiring against his life, diaries was weak, credulous, and, moreover, was subject to fits of temporary Insanity. By working on his fears Cath erine Sand Guise persuaded him that the *Huguenots. under Coljgny's or ders, were planning a massacre of Catholics and were especially pledget! to murder himself and those dear to him. Insane with fear, he cried: "Kill Collgny! Kill every Hugue not! Let none be left alive to re proach me!" Guise had beforehand laid his plans. He was the idol of the populace. Through his agents he Instructed the townsfolk and rabble to assemble at mldfalght on August 24 (St. Bartholo mew's day), and at a signal begin a wholesale slaughter of Huguenots ^Tbe Huguenots, taken wholly by stir prise, died like sheep under their butchers' weapons. Guise, full of his old-time vengeance against Collgny. hurried to the hotel where the admiral lay 111 In bed.
