New Tork. March 20. The many addl.
tlonal advances registered today were ac
companied by another very larte volume
of buelness in which signs of a re-awaken-Int
of public Interest were not wholly lack
ing. The fact that one stock. United mates
Steel, contributed over 20 per cent of the
total operations, which agxrcgateil 1.336.000

preselvcness of the rise.
More than half of the overturn occurred

flicting Influences created by the supreme

Among the moro striking features of the
session wero Bethlehem Steel at gross gains
of 6,4 to 10 4 points, the new stock touch
ing 139 4 and the old 146. United States

Steel, Crucible Steel. Lackawanna
Steel, Gulf States Steel, Republic Iron and
Colorado Fuel at extreme gains of 2 to
8 points, with 2 to 4 points for Equip
ments, an average of 8 points for oils, and

Russians Plan to
Build Thousands of
Miles of Railroads
Washington. March 20. Extensive
railway construction in Russia dur
ing the next ten years, aggregating
almost 6X1,000 miles, recommended by
a special commission, lias been ap

ministers. A report to the Depart
ment of Commerce says about $300,
000,000 will be the cost of fifty-one
projected lines, aggregating 20,779

The objects sought by the com

tural resources.

When the Tthphone
Operator Says
"They Don't Answer"
Frequently our subscribers report that they v
failed to receive telephone calls and yet were
"at home all the time".
Many times friends call without looking up
your number in the directory. Your number,
perhaps, is 5-4-6, but what your friend oalled
was 5-6-4. He was sincere in his belief that he
called you. He did not realize he transposed
the figures and called another number.
It is less work for the operators to complete '
a call than to report, "They don't answer", and
they seldom make such reports without justifi
cation. v
Frequently Out of Hearing
Often our subscribers forget numerous trips
to the basement, the attic, the garden or the
front porch out of hearing of the telephone bell.
The telephone rings during the few moments
they were out of hearing, yet it is true that they
were "at home all day".
Sometimes before the .work in hand at the
far side of the house can be dropped and the
telephone answered, the party calling has been
given a "They don't answer" ruport and has
hung up.
If you have a party-line the operators, of
course, report your line "busy" if the other
party on the line is using his telephone when
someone calls you. .
Occasionally the telephone operators make
mistakes the same as any other human beings,
but please do not blame them for faults that arc
not theirs.

placed a heavy guard at each
of his company's mines in the
Rock Springs district and that many
federal guards have been stationed at
all bridges, tunnels and culverts of
importance on the railroads of the
entire intermountain country, espe
cially in the neighborhood of coal
mines,
"We have been officially warned,"
said Mr. Pape, "of the government's
intention to supervise the operation
of coal mines,- if necessary, as part
of the program of mobilization of
the government's natural i resources,
to be used for national defence."
