CHRISTMAS OPENING COIL TRIAL PHONE COMPANY SEEKS T9 DRUNKENNESS ON HIGHWAYS ON INCREASE JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. Nov. 26 The Quarterly Report of the Missouri State Highway Patrol (for July, August and September), just published, notes a forty-seven per cent increase in the number of arrests made for drunken driving of lenses over the previous quarter. It is also noted that the number of accidents investigated during the quarter totaled wich is a substantial increase over the previous quarter. Of the 5.096 arrests made for this period, 231 were for felonies committed in the operation of a motor vehicle.

Of all arrests made, 767 involved drinking while driving. Attention is called to the fact that four chief offenses which caused so much motorist-misery and caused num-crous traffic accidents were: excessive speed, careless driving, drunken driving and improper passing. The situation has prompted the following pertinent comment: The apparent increase in the number of accidents is a matter of much concern and has been explained in a variety of ways and by the advancement of a variety theories, many of which arc undoubtedly sound, but none of which adequately explain the real reason for the rise. Whatever the psychological background for the change may be, there still exists the necessity of what seems to take one the proportions of a superhuman effort to adequately analyze this accident record and establish proper precautions against a possible recurrence of the conditions which result in such a tremendous loss to Missouri motorists. A correct analysis of these accident reports is of inestimable value, since it brings to light the flaws in our transportation system which must be remedied in order that the movement of traffic not be curtailed and that our highways may be made safer avenues of travel, the Patrol quarterly bulletin sets out.

26 (AP) Two convict mechanics stole a state truck and escaped from the main prison garage late yesterday. They were John Henry Jones, 27. of St. Louis, serving a sentence for burglary, and Cleveland Dorris, also 27, in prison on a grand larceny conviction from St. Charles.

Each was serving three years. Prison authorities said they did not know which of the men was driving. They were moving the truck and kept on driving" once they got Wjtb the telephone almost an institution in the many homes of Mexico, the following information given the Daily News and Intelligencer this week by George C. Wright, district manager of the Southwestern Bell Telephone Company, will prove of much interest to its readers. The telephone company has fallen in line with ihe national defense movement in the line of conservation of materials and the finding of adequate substitutes for those materials vital to defense.

In the line of conservation of materials it was learned dial in certain parts of Mexico customers, when asking for the installation of a phone, arc asked to take a party line instead of the private wire In this way materials may he used for new locations. A picture of the telephone companys endeavors as a unit was also given by Mr. Wright. A saving of more than five million pounds of metals vital to defense needs, including enough aluminum to build more than 275 fighter planes, is being effected by the Bell System this year through a materials substitution program, Mr. Wright said.

Made possible through long range planning, research, and readjustments in manufacturing, the substituting of materials in 1941 will divert for use in defense work nearly 1,700,000 pounds of aluminum, almost a third of a million pounds of nickel, well over three million pounds of-zinc, and 8,300 pounds of magnesium. Additional reductions are foreseen for i942. Steel Finger Wheel The Western Electric Company, manufacturing arm of the System, now saves 65 tons of aluminum annually by replacing aluminum wiih steel in the finger wheel on dial telephones. This is only one of many items of telephone equipment in which aluminum is being replaced by other materials. The total saving of aluminum is enough to build more than 275 military planes other than bombers, or half as many bombers, vin accordance with the estimate of the Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce of America ihat the average non-bomber requires three tons of aluminum and the average bomber six tons.

The use of zinc is being substantially reduced by coating Estil Coil, charged by the stale of embezzlement by agent, Tuesday morning entered a plea of innocence to the first of four such charges in Audrain Cir cuil Court and the trial date has been for December 17.

OFFICE TO MOVE The business office of the Southwestern Bell Telephone Company here will be moved from the companys building at 201 East Promenade to a new building now under construction at 212 West Jackson Street, it was learned last week from Greoge q. Wright, district manager.

The telephone office will occupy about half the space, Wright said. It is planned to use the present business office space partly lor operators quarters but additional switchboard equipment will be installed. The new building is expected to be completed in about GO days. SEAL SALE The Audrain County Tuberculosis Association seal sale began Monday. Mrs.

Reports from many rural members of the Red Cross Drive as well as town leaders, repqrt the roll call is proceeding Molino if.

Unusual Alfalfa Yield An unusual yield of five cut tings of alfalfa from one field in a season is reported by H. B. Lindley of Gentry County. The first cytting was made May 10, the second June 15,, the third July 26, the fourth August 28, and the fifth September 29. The first three averaged 1 ton to the acre, the fourth cutting made 3-4 of a ton, and the last one made 1-2 ton to the acre.

The total yield from the 12-acre field, computed on this basis, amounted to 51 tons. At the price of S10 per ton, which it seems probable the hay will be worth this winter, the entire harvest will be worth S510. This field has been seeded three years and is on second bottom land. Lindley reports this is the first time he has succeeded in getting five cuttings in any one season during his 18 years of farming experience. Efficient Pork Production W.

E. Radley in Holt County raised 112 pigs from 17 sows this summer, bringing them to an average weight of almost 200 pounds at 180 days of age with a cost of S4.44 per hundred pounds. The feed consumed by the pigs for each 100 pounds, of gain, including the feed fectev-ed by the sows from the time they were bred until the pigs were weaned, included 4.1 bushels of corn, 1.9 bushels of oats. 22 pounds of tankage and soybean oil meal, 6 pounds of alfalfa meal, and 2 pounds of shorts and bran. Corn was figured at 65 cents per bushel, oats at 40 cents, alfalfa meal (produced at home1 at $20 a ton, and the supplement and mill feeds at market price.

Slaughter records secured on a good portion of these hogs show that they were extra good in that the yield was 77 per cent. Use of good stock, feeding a balanced ration, washing of udders and sides of sow before farrowing, cleaning of movable farrowing pens and scrubbing with boiling lye water, good pasture, raising on clean ground, and plenty of clean water and shade are factors contributing to these much of the hardware used on telephone pole lines with lead, instead of putting these, products through a galvanizing process. Also, loss zinc is being used in the reduction of new telephones. Since 1925 the Bell System has been studying how to make the most effective use of materials. Immediately alter the outbreak of war in 1939, a survey was made of critical materials particularly used in the telephone system and efforts lo determine suitable substitu were initiated.

Because of the many factors involved in the introduction of substitutes processing, engineering, materials, and new procedures the System will be faced with an inevitable rise in manufacturing costs as a direct result. Conserve Materials Efforts to conserve vital materials Teach to all parts of the System. Telephone companies throughout the country are continuing to use much equipment that normally would be replacer, so that what new equipment is available may be used at others locations which defense demands have created a greater need. Dial installations in some communities are being deferred, used switchboards are being reused, cables arc being resheal lied and reused. Supplementing the Bell Systems substitution and conserva tion program are the reclamation activities it has been carrying on since 1931, when the Nassau Smelting and Ref ini ng Company was acquired for the purpose of reclaiming junked Mapy.

qfHhg materials used In telephone equipment are not expended, but can be tv claimed and reused. From Wornout Articles The Nassau Smelting and Re fining Company last year supplied the System with more than 42.000.000 pounds of metal. This was obtained chiefly from non-ferrous metals in outworn equip ment, structures, and supplies junked by the operating telephone companies. The reclaimed metal included about pounds of copper wire bar. more than 18,000,000 pounds ol lead alloy for cable sheathing some 2,000,000 pounds of lead sleeving for cable splices, over 5.000.000 pounds of bronze wire bar.

some 500.000 pounds of brass billets, over 3,000,000 pounds of solder in various Forms, and more than 373.000 pounds of redistilled slab zinc. This years totals are expected to mount considerably higher. Plans For Santa Are Completed With the Christmas decorations in place, and with old Santa's organ newly tuned and await ing his coming, there is but one step to go to start the largest Christmas season and most lively shopping experienced in Mexico for many years.
