“Hello”
By degrees. usage of the familiar
aalutation. "Hello." is dying out in
telephone practice. When Mrs. '30an

with is influence for better service.
to not only a. business but a. social
asset.
Alexander Graham Bell. according
to Thomas A. Watson. who assistcu'
him, used the word "Ahoy" in mak-
ing his experiments but. "Hello" su-
perseded it when the telephone got
into practical use. The probab‘y ori-
gin of the word "Hello” was inter-
estingly described as follows in n
recent issue of the "Telephone En-
gineer":
“Long. long ago wolves were nu-
merous i nail parts of the world.
especially in England. \Volf-hunting
was a favorite sport with th-.- gen-
try. and to kill wolves was regarded
as the sacred duty of all English-
men. French was the language of
the court at that time. so the burly
old English hunters used the cry of
the French wolf-hunters. which was
'Au loup! Au loup!’ (to the wolf).
These words heard at a distance
sounded like ‘a loo.‘ but the English
who always put an 11' on whenever
they possibly can. put it on the
words 'a loo.’ and when wolf-hunt-
ing shouted ‘ha loo.’ This form We
ulo wh n we call 'hello’."

, Shaw and Prohibition
37 .1 George Bernard Shaw sees the
world going dry. He believes
America has blazed the trail for all
the countries and that alcohol. like
slavery. will eventually be wiped out.
Prohibition is the "burning ques-
tion to to-day." and it soon must be
dealt with by Great Britain.
' The noted Britisher. by some
w acknowledged as the “most. serious
‘ ‘ man that ever lived" and one with
the greatest mind across the
Atlantic. expressed these views to
Mina Mary Lawton, writer. who has
just returned from Europe aboard
in White star liner Olympic.
Miss Lawton visited the author
three times during the last. few
months while gathering material for
some "rcminisances." She found
him snueg living at his little home

if i fall down the Stairs I'm sure to

over chairs. a lot of ribs begin to
crack. I sometimes slide on orange
pools and bust my dome. but ,still
i cry. “A Man's no older than he
feels." which is a sort of truthful
lle. l'd have you think l'm feeling
young. and right side up. and good
as new. and so. you sec. l'm giving
tongue in that which is not strictly
true. And yet il's irUc enough. I

which is causing Spain a great deal

lllcnt.

trained to shoot at a mark and from
the age of sixteen a. rifle is always

They are also a race of free-
booters and smugglers. It to esti-
mated that 90 per cent. of the goods
smuggled into the Riff is contraband
of war. - So well is this business
organized that it is almost impos-
sible to surprise the smugglers.
The vessels which carry on this
trade throw cases containing rifles
into the sea at an agreed spot. Each
case is attached to a long rope with
a float at the other end.
The Boyc ‘as and Bani-Ur-

bed of the sea and it is almost im-
possible to watch the steamers be-
cause they nevcr stop and as they
are a good distance from the coast
they do not arouse suspicion.
The war in the Riff is very much
like Spain's war against Napoleon.
It is not a war against an army but
against a country. As’in Spain each
stone concealed a Spaniard Who was
waiting to kill a. Frenchman. so in
the Rift each stone concealed ,a
tribe-smut; ready to kill a Spaniard.

The idea has arisen of creating a

cotton needs a great deal and con-
sumes the bulk of the potash used in
this country. \Vhile some domestic
production of potash was obtained
during the war. practically our en-
tire supply of this essential fertilizer
is now obtained from Germany and
France (Alsace). . ,
Nitrates are also used in commer-
cial fertilizer mixtures. but. unlike
potash. they are used to a large ex-
tent by themselves. particularly in
truck gardens and .citrus groves.
Some' nitrates are derived from
barnyard manures. slaughter house
by-prdducts, fish scrap and cotton—
seed meal; but these supplies are to-
tally insuflicient and the importation
of Chilean nitrate of soda is indis-
pensable to American agriculture.
The importance of these foreign fer-
tilizers is constantly increasing. as
American farmers are learning that
approved fertilization results in lar—
ger results in larger profits from
their crops.
