Printing Telephone Directories Big Job Some startling statistics which re- veal the development and widespread use of the telephone, have been com- piled by a Chicago printing house, which prints telephone directories for many cities. This printing establishment an- nounces that in 1920 it printed 6,699, 000 telephone directories, using 18,- 350,420 pounds of paper, which re- quired 459 freight cars to transport it from the mills. These directories if placed end to end would reach from Chicago to Jacksonville, Fla., and the paper stock if made into a strip one foot wide would reach from the earth to the MY MORE LS AL DANTLESS HEROES N. U. Prof. Claims Discovery of Cowardice Cause Cowardice is a matter of physiology and not of mentality and character, according to a theory advanced by Dr. Charles Louis Mix, professor of clini- cal medicine, Northwestern univer- sity. "Fear is caused by the suspension of secretion by the adrenal glands, which are just above but not connect- ed with, the kidneys. It is this stop- ping of the secretions at the moment of fright that causes the dilated pupil of the eye, the dry mouth, shaking knees and soaring heart that are the symptoms of fear. "After the first moment of alarm, the glands renew their secretions with more than normal activity, thus re- storing the balance of courage and enabling the animals under observa- tion to cope vigorously with the situa- tions confronting them." The new discovery, it is said, opens the possibility of making all men high- ly courageous, eliminating congenital cowardice and establishing absolute tests of the capacity of individuals for perilous ventures where the indi- vidual's safety depends upon quick, cool headed action. " The scientists who are following the investigation expect to evolve some means, medical or surgical, that will increase the flow of deficient ad- renal glands and speed up the reac- tions if the glands are tardy in their recovery from the fright inhibition. moon and more than half way back. To set the type contained in the listings of these directories would occupy one man's time at a iinotype machine for nearly forty years and if the directories were printed on an ordinary cylinder press, running eight hours per day, it would require sev- enty-five years to complete the run. pe Ec-- EE ---------------- Ee ---------- RR ------ me We have stated re in Winnetka.
