Automatic Phone Service : Praised by British Expert lv Associated Press) LONDON, Nov. S Sir William Noble, engineer-in-thier to. the British Post Oftice, which also controls the telephones ofi the country, says the American telephone system is superior" to that of Great Britain. Sir William, who has just returned from a visit to the United States, told the Society of Arts the general introduction of automatic telephones was probably the main feature in the American scheme of progress. Discussing this matter with telephone experts in the cities he visited, he found practically a unanimous opinion that full automatic working was the only certain method of ensuring the quality of service demanded by the public. The popularity of the telephone in America, was, he considered, due first of all to the flat rate, secondly to monthly accounts, and thirdly to party line services and the policy of fostering residential lines.

THOUSANDS WELCOME
HARDING'S ENTRANCE IN LONE STAR STATE
fBy Associated Press) ON BOARD PRESIDENT-ELECT HARDING'S SPECIAL TRAIN, Nov. 8. Traveling southward through eastern Texas to begin his vacation ht Point Isabel, President-elect Harding was welcomed to the Ldhe Star state Sunday by many applauding crowds who gathered eagerly about his train to shake hands and congratulate hin on bis election. At several of the
larger places he responded to demands for a speech and voiced briefly his doctrine of a re-united nation, in which sectionalism and class should be forgotten. He assured every crowd that his ad ministration would be guided by the good of all the people rather than by partisanship, and also included in each speech a plea for Sabbath observance and for an awakened religious rev. erence in America. Welcome From Governor. As his special train entered the state the president elect received a message of greeting and welcome from Governor Hobby. He replied thank fully, voicing a hope that his stay along the southermost border of the country would help to cement the relations of the North and South. Point Isabel, where the party is to arrive at noon tomorrow, is on th gulf coast, and within six miles of the Rib Grande. The approach of th" president-elect so near the Mexican border caused considerable speculation today as to whether he might hps bis 12-day stay to gather first-hand information of conditions in the southern republic, but it was said aboard the train, that any steps he took would be of a strictly unofficial character. It has been reported that efforts would be made to arrange a conference between Mr. Harding and General Obregon, the president-elect of Mexico. Informal overtures, also, nre expected from the anti-Obregon faction, but Mr. Harding has indicated that in the interests of strict propriety he would not encourage any consulta
tion with those who are not citizens
of the United States. On the other hand, it is pointed out. that should General Obregon actually present himself for a conference, it might be difficult to refuse.
the daily output has averaged better than 2,000,000 tons, the longest period on record of sustained output at the rate except during the summer of 1918. Anthracite production during the same week was 1,696,000 tons, a decrease of 219,000. tons from the preceding week. This was due, it was said, to observance of the Mitchell day holiday, OOt. 29, commemorating the
settlement of the great anthracite strike of 1902.
