DEPENDABILITY .. . . < 4 Telephone service is of little value if it is not dependable. Storms, fires, floods, accidents, rust and decay, these are the enemies of dependable telephone service. To make Adams County telephone service dependable no expense has been spared. Wires are being placed in underground and aerial cables to guard against fires, floods, storms and accidents. Rust and decay are almost unknown with copper wire and creosoted wood. The telephone and central office equipment used are of the most rugged and reliable types manufactured and insure a minimum of service interruptions. A When service interruptions do occur a well trained and efficient maintenance force clears the trouble promptly. • ' * Dependable service is valuable service.

LADY ASTOR SCOLDS WOMEN FOR DRESSING IN SHOCKING MANNER J f By International News Service , London, Nov. 12. —At a recent meeting hold in Glasgow, Lady Astor, a j Conservative member of Parlament J remarked: , "The women of today do not dress: they undress. "1 think it is a shocking thing that when we are demanding a single | standard of morals with men so ihany of us should go round in appalling I clothes--In fashion set up by a few unfortunate women in a foreign ' land.” Opinions gathered were all in conflict with Lady Astor's views. A doctor remarked: “The verdict' of Lady Astor is at variance with the facts. A healthier race of women has arisen with the throwing 'off of useless clothes. There has been no lowering of the standard of morality, but there certainly has I been a raising of the standard of health, owing to the fact that fresh 1 1 air, the cheapest of all body-building tonics, can be given to the body.” i I Even the clergyman flouts Lady • Astor's remarks. He ' cannot agree with Lady Astor’s generalization that all women are wearing immoral clothes. My congrega- | tion has many girls/ among it—girls, | who are, I am sure, as deeply’reli--1 gious as in any other generation, although their clothes may not be so many as in the Victorian era, 1 am I certain there is no taint or suggestion I or immorality." Bad Weather Fails To Hinder Christian Revival A good sized congregation was present at the Christian charch revival last night in spite of the threatening weather. The Rev. 11. W. Mount, of Montpelier, delivered a splendid ser-

mon, based on a theme taken from the Apostle Paul’s letter to Corinthians. Mr. F. A. Hess, also, of Montpelier, i Is In charge of the singing at the re- | vtval. He again brought a thril to the hearts of the people last night, both ' in the song service and in his solo 1 work. The children's booster choir again provided excellent music. Two great services have been planned for Sunday. The Rev. A. A. Coll, who has been suffering from a severe cold, will lie back to take charge of the revival, and it is expected that many will be present to greet him. ———— o— Misses Marcella and Agnes Nelson were Saturday visitors in Fort Wayne.
