AVOID DELAYS FOR
VETERANS' CLAIMS
Recently considerable publicity has
been given to th estatement that final
decisions on the claims of disabled
ex-service men were not made in the
district office of the U. S- Veterans'
Ruerau, but had to be sent to the cen
tral, office at Washington, and that
this procedure involved a good deal
of anxiety and delay. This statement
iî misleading and is the cause of some
misunderstanding. One of the out
standing policies of the U. S- Veter
ans' Bureau k. the decentralization of
its work and authority. This results
in a closer personal contact with each
bonef iciary of the bureau in its deal
ings with them, anu in reducing to a;
minimum the time necessary to settle

PITTSBURG PLUS
AND STEEL PRICES
CHICAGO, Feb. 7—For the first
time since the starting of the "Pitts
burgh Plue" case, the actual figures
of production costs of steel were put
in evidence today when hearings in
the case were resumed here.
These figures wore contained in
an exh i bit f urn j 8bed by H. E. White,
expert for the federal trade
comm i^i on . They show the Chicago
steel district to be the lowest cost

The first witness introduced for the
respondent wat. Alfred V. Winter,
statistician for the Illinois Steel Com
pany, a subsidiary of the U. S. Steel
Company. He submitted a vast
masi of exhibits which were compil
ations from invoices of transactions
in steel covering many years pa t.
The respondent holds that these
compilations show that there were
many more variations in steel prices
than is consistent i fthe "Pittsburgh
Plus" system were working in it*,
entirety.
The commission's attorney, K. E.
Steinhäuser, under cross-examination,
y.bowed by the witness that the in
voice tabulations did not show the
date of the sale of the steel and
therefore did not show a deviation
from the "Pittsburg Plus" practice,
as no basis of comparison with stand
ard quoted prices was afforded- The
contest over admitting the tabulations
will be resumed at the morning hear
ing.
PRINTER WAS PEEVED.
Charley Harrir, of Fort Worth,,
Texas, a friend of Mr. Nubbinera in
the printing business, got slightly
}>eeved at a letter from a doctor who
wanted bids on several thousand let
terheads, different size?, different
grades and different colors and want
ed the printing form kept standing.
So Charley took hi$ typewriter in
hand and wrote:
Am in the market for one opera
tion for appendicitis. One, two, or
five-inch incision—with or without
ether—also with or without nurse.
If appendix is found to be sound,
want quotation to include put
ting same back and cancelling order.
If removed, successful bidder is ex
pected to hold incision open for about
60 days, as I expect to be in the mar
ket for an operation for gallstones at
that time and want to save extra cost
of cutting."—Kansas City Post.

When Claudius was emperor.

Could be a very tender bit.

But Mars came first and Venus next.

VI. TOOLS AND SUPPLIES REQUIRED
To give an entire or complete list of the varions tools and supplies re
quired for making, setting up and using wireless telephones is practically Im
possible. In the first place, some people can work advantageously with fewer
tools than others; some people are naturally "handy" or inventive and can find
uses for odds and ends which would appear worthless to others; some people
must economize on tools and supplies, others can spend an unlimited amount,
while still others prefer to purchase most of their appliances ready-made and
merely put them together or set them up.
For these reasons, the tools and supplies listed below are only those which
will prove most necessary and as their quality, size and number will depend
largely upon the work to be done and one's pocketbook, no prices or estimates
of their cost have been given.
-
TOOLS
One large screwdriver.
One brad-awl set of awls, screw
drivers, etc., or small and medium
sized screwdrivers.
One gimlet.
One hack saw frame and saws.
Panel or cross-cut t«w.
ifltre-saw and mitre-box.
Chisels and gouges.
Three-cornered file.
Round or rat-tall file.
Flat file.
Sandpaper.
Smoothing or block-plane.
Small bench (iron) vlse^
Bit-stock with bits and augers. •
Breast or hand, geared drill with
twist drills.
Flat-nosed pliers.
Ronnd-nosed pliers.
Cutting pliers (flat-nosed and cutting
pliers combined may be used).
Soldering iron, solder and flux.
Tack hammer.
Claw hammer.
% Carpenter's square.
Tape, yard stick or rule.
Set of small screw-taps and dies.
Compasses or dividers.
SUPPLIES
Wire nails.
Wood screws (flat head), assort
ed steel or brass.
Wood screws (round head), as
sorted brass.
Washers for round-head screws.
Small brass bolts and nuts, as
sorted.
Emery paper.
Wire of various sizes (sea direc
tions), copper, plain or bare.
Same insulated (see directions).
Stiff cardboard.
Paraffine wax.
Good glue.
Sealing wax.
White shellac.
Fiber board or bakellte.
Hard rubber knobs.
Flexible insulated wire oord
Porcelain insulators.
Tin foil.
Binding posts.
Terminals.
Varnished cambric tubing.
Strong twine or string.
Sheet brass or brass strips (see
directions).
Sheet copper.
Adhesive tape.

•
The last is one of the most useful articles one can have. It la useful In
wrapping Joints of wires ; In covering wires as an Insulator ; In attaching wires
where they cannot be soldered; In making temporary Joints or connections;
In covering colls or holding the wires on coils In place; In holding parts of
cases or boxes together w hile they are being gluod or nailed ; to cover a cut
In your finger, as well as for a thousand and one other purposes. do not
use the cheap, weak grades of tape sold In ten-cent stores and by ^ bicycle
and automobile accessory dealers. Use a good, strong, rubber-covweo »ape such
as Tirro, for while It costs more it la worth many times as much ffi»«*e. The
cheap tapés dry up, lose their stickiness upon exposure to air ; the thta rubber.
If any. soou disappears and leaves only the fabric which is not an Insulator;
they have no tensile strength, whereas high-grade tapes are exceeding*? strong,
they are coated heavily with rubber, they never dry ap and they reLaln tbeir
tenacity for a long time.
Varnished cambric tubing, known also as "Spaghetti." Is thsl
for covering Joints In wires and should be used wherever possible.
Finally, let me advise you never to throw away anything which you have
m hand in the way of electrical supplies, wires, screws, nails, etc. One never
knows when such things may come la handy and may be put te
useful purpose, thus saving time 1 and
material

Perhaps in the majority of cases the one thought uppermost I
in the minds of those who enter a bank is to transact their |
business and get away as quickly as possible. Promptness |
is an element in any kind of service which all of us appre- |
ciate, and many times important issues depend oh prompt- I
ness of bank service. We consider the other elements of |
personal bank service—friendliness, courtesy, irterest, un- |
derstanding, intelligence and efficiency—as highly import- I
ant, but not for a moment have we forgotten the extremely
practical element of promptness. This large institution has
concentrated its organization and facilities to combine
promptness with other desirable elements in every service
it performs.
