Telephone Messages II j Did you ever realize that you can talk about 150 words a minute? The average for i a three-minute telephone conversation is 450 1 i words — sufficient to fill one-third of a newsj paper column or two pages of a popular I novel, while very few business letters are | half as long, w I The timing of these messages is done f with clocks specially provided for the purpose. A force of men is constantly testing these clocks so that they record the exact time which elapses on telephone calls. This protects against errors and is only one of the many devices adopted by the Bell System to secure uniformly satisfactory service in every particular. The Delaware & Atlantic TeL & TeL Co., I ' C.

STIRRING SCHOOL ELECTION IN , WEST CARE MAY. Harry Bean, colored, was one of the candidates for election to the Board of Education, in West Cape May, Tuesgay evening and gave his opponents a tight . '.Lb, loosing by a few votes, although everybody who could be reached voted. The new school building proposition was > defeated. The State Board of Education ;i bout two years ago, directed .attention to a condition in both school houses, which does not meet legal requirements, but a proposition to repair was defeated last spring and the proposition to c-rect a new building was defeated, as stated 1 aove on Tuesday evening. The State Building Inspector has examined the buildings several times and has carefully eliminated every detail from his recommendations which is not absolutely essential, and the buildings 'will, no doubt, wbe formally condemned. The agitation of the colored population and their desire to elect one of their own number a member of the Board" of Education is due ot the fact that they fed that there are not adequate facilities supplied for all of the colored children. The. new building proposition ineluded a plan to use the new and modern part of the old building for the annex school but this does not seem to have -undertsoond. The excitement over the election of the members of the Board precluded attention to anything else at the recent election. FREE SEEDS. Senator James E.
