SILLY, BUT WE ALL DO IT; SCRIBBLING WHILE TELEPHONING

Husky looking men will brag about their strong and steady nerves, yet when they eit down to a telephone, they immediately exhibit all symptoms of a nervous attack, say telephone operators of Richmond They talk over the phone in a steady voice, yet with their free hand they will be drawing meaningless pictures or else writing their names. Frequently a continuous thumping

sound is made against the wall or

-table, with the fingers.

Richmond telephone booths reveal

several varieties of handwriting, initials, pictures and numbers. Those

whose occupation' Involves taking notes over a telephone, will automatically jot notes when engaged in a private and personal conversation call. In one booth there is writen upon the wall in big letters, "If you are game, call lo31." Readers will often call this number and discover to their embarrasment tha4. 1331 is the general office of the Eastern Indiana Hospital for Insane. Have No Patience "It is surprising." remarked a telephone operator," how little patience men have." If their number does not immediately answer, they call trouble and loudly proclaim they have been trying for such and such a number for at least 15 minutes. 'If trouble does not immediately get them in connection with their party, these impatient subscribers will growl about the poor services of the telephone company and will never stop to consider that but a minute or so had elapsed." Tn spite of the advise written In the front of telephone books, phones in certain parts of Richmond seem to be neighborhood affairs. The person posessing a phone is usually the most popular In the neighborhood, although aroused from bed or taken away from household duties, smilingly to grant, "Kin I use your'phone, Mrs. -?". The local phone company is trying to put a stop to this practice although it is pretty nearly impossible unless pay phones are installed.

QUITS SLEUTHING FOR CROOKS, DISCOVERS NEW GAS

FRANCE MAY ADOPT DAYLIGHT SAVING LAW (By Associated Press) PARIS, Feb. 4. Daylight saving would be legally adopted in France for at least two more years, under the provisions of a bill which has been drafted and which will be brought up in the Chamber of Deputies to'

day. Hitherto summertime has been fixed arbitrarily and has been subject to no law. Because of the coal shortage the bill would provide that summertime would begin a month earlier, or on March 15, during the years of 1920 and 1921, and would end October 25. It is probable the measure will be quickly passed.

(By Associated Press) MADRID. Feb. 4. King Alphonso's coming visit to Latin-America, should be the best means according to El Dia, organ of the Liberal party, of winning for Spain the trade of South America. "During many years other nations who are opposed to contracting alliances with Spanibh-speaking countries have Intervened and by their propaganda, prevented Spain getting her share of South American trade," the newspaper says. "They have profited by Spain's domestic troubles, but despite this, the Spanish race will

win in the end.

Being a beautif i'l girl she attracted a Turkish official who wished to make her his wife, imposing upon her his own religion and the lowly state of Turkish women. Her father refused to give her up. When the massacres of the Armenians started, carried on by the Turks untfer a secret agreement with the Germans, the Mohammedans made further efforts to get possession of the girl. After seeing her father, mother, two brothers and three sisters brutally slain, fine entered upon a series of adventures which prove that life may be more exciting than the wildest

MILNER'S COMMISSION CANNOT NEGOTIATE WITH EGYPTIANS (By Associated Press) CAIRO, Feb. 4. Definite solution of the Egyptian problem by the mission headed by Viscount Milner is improbable, although members of the British party have collected a great deal of information relative to the situation Uere. Popular excitement has reached a phase which makes it virtually Impossible to negotiate with any representative Egyptian body, and it is believed the deliberations will be adjourned and continued in London unless the situation changes soon.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4. Research of the American expeditionary force records of the War department has added the name of Private Elmer W.

WASHINGTON. In the early days of the movies, when the screen was surfeited with crude bloodand-thunder Wild West pictures, how many of us cried out for a master producer who would take all the rich material which the old romantic days of the West really contained for screen drama and make of it an artistic, logical photoplay. William S. Hart answered the call and now David Wark Griffith has done it also. Wandering far afield from the tender small town love story of "True Heart Susie," Mr. Griffith has reincarnatea the glowing California of the gold rush days of '49 on the screen. The picture is called "Scarlet Days"

pnd through the mastery of Griffith its thrilling, heart-appealing story has been given the artistic touch that raises it far above the ordinary screen feature. It is a Paramount-Artcraft picture and is being shown the last times today at the Washington

Theatre. MURRETTE. "Auction of Souls," which Is to be presented at the Murrette has the unusual distinction of having a leading woman who actually enacted the original scenes which the motion picture reproduces. Miss Aurora Mardiganian, the girl who has the leading role, is not a motion picture actress, but was induced to act for the films just what she personally passed through in Armenia in 1915. Miss Mardiganian's inexperience before the camera is not apparent in the picture for she holds up her own end as well as any of the regular actors. Perhaps her art is that born of the

WORRY AND WRINKLES

Despondency is a thing of evil results. Worry produces nothing but wrinkles and wretchedness. Let the reader put a note on her bureau, on her desk, and at the head of her bed, just two words,

"Don't Worry" Worry is the greatest foe

to the happiness of any household. An anxious, despondent face, a fretful, complaining voice, will make every one uncomfortable. A woman's nerves are more

truly the cause of worry than outside troubles. The nerves are to a woman's body the telegraph system which surely warns her of any trouble in the feminine make-up. Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the ideal woman's tonic for such conditions. When a woman complains of backache, dizziness or pain when everything looks black before her eyes a dragging feeling, or bearing-down, with nervousness, 6he should turn to this "temperance" herbal tonic, known as Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It can be obtained in almost every drug store in the land and the ingredients are printed in plain English on the wrapper. Put up in tablets or liquid. Dr. Pierce's Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo.N .Y., will send a trial size of "Favorite Prescription" tablets for 10c. Also write Dr. Pierce for confidential advice and you will receive --the medical attention of a specialist, wholly without fee no charge whatever.

"When I began taking Tanlae I was so bad off I was about to retire from

business, said Charles Stenstrom, !

the veil-known concrete and excavating contractor living at 607 Fishgate street, Peoria, 111. "For thirty years I have suffered all the misery that goes with stomach trouble, rheumatism and vdisordered kidneys," he continued. "My stomach was so badly upr.et that it nearly laid me up altogether and after every meal I took cramping spells ihat sometimes were so bad I couldn't leave the house for I was afraid I

could not get back. I bloated up so j with gas that I could not get a long) breath. My legs pained me almost j evrey minute of the day and when the weather was damp my arms hurt me j

so bad it Mas agony for me to try to bend them. My kidneys were bo badly out of order that I had pains all

mrougn my oacK and at night I was in such misery I could hardly sleep at all. Every morning my back was so stiff it was hard for me to get out of bed and during the day I couldn't think of doing any work. "But things are different Bince I got hold of Tanlac and it has made such a remarkable change in me that I feel thirty years younger, and if it was necessary I could handle a shovel and turn as much dio 'as any of my men. Evertything I eat now agrees with me perfectly and I am never troubled in the least with gas or with cramping spells. The rheumatism has nearly disappeared and the pains r.nd stiffness in my back have all gone. I sleep sound every night, and of mornings I get up feeling hale and hearty. I have given up all idea of retiring from my business, as Tanlac has given me new life and strength and I am enjoying beter health than I have for years." .'
