It a different
Telephone today
The telephone instru
ment in your home may
have been put there
prior to 1920. It may be
the same instrument to
day in looks, in feel, in
weight, as it was on the
day it was installed. But
in usefulness to you, it
has grown to almost
twice the original.
This is because in con
duits underground, in
cables swung on poles,
in lines of wiring that
penetrate to new places,
in homes and business
houses here, there and
everywhere, we have
been implanting values
and adding equipment
that have directly bene
fited your instrument.
Almost twice as many
telephones are now con
nective with yours as
in 1920. Meanwhile, the
quality of service we
render has been advanc
ing. Transmission is
clearer. Thru technical
; improvements, the mak
ing of connections has
; been speeded up. More
long distance facilities
have been provided. The
telephone in your home
is like a window, look
ing out on the world,
that has gradually
turned to plate glass. ,
The outlay for tele
phone construction in
the Pacific System dur
ing the next 5 years will
exceed an average of
$63,000,000 a year. We
are arranging now for
voice - communications
that you will wish to
hold years hence, with
people whom you do not
yet know.

Seattle. Recent developments hi
dicate that the sale of "wine tonics,"
which is believed to be in violation of
the state bone-dry law and a deter
rent in the enforcement of pro
hibition, will soon be stopped in
Washington.
Within the last two weeks one of
the largest wholesale drug houses
and a firm operating a chain of re
tail drug stores in Seattle let it be
come known that they would quit
handling wine tonics, , and federal
prohibition officials expect reputable
druggists throughout the state to
join the ban on wine tonics. The
fight on wine tonics is being carried
oh 'similarly to' the fight of two
years ago.
Phohibition Director Lyle and his
forces have been working cautious
ly because the sale of wine tonics is
not barred by the Volstead act, the
tonics, in fact, being manufactured
under federal permits granted by dis
tricts administrators. So far, going
on the theory that such beverages
are forms of intoxicants and violate
the laws of Washington and Oregon,
Mr. Lyle has refused permits for the
manufacture of such drinks in his
district Washington, Oregon and
Alaska. But such permits were
granted in California, the result being
that practically all of the wine tonics
sold in Washington come from California.
But the federal prohibition office
now takes the stand that it can op
pose the sale of wine tonics on the
grounds that it violates the state law
and undermines enforcement of na
tional prohibition. Therefore, Mr.
Lyle is calling on all druggists who
have licenses to handle alcohol to re
port their - sales of wine tonics or
other medicated liquids of high alco
holic content, the inference being that
druggists featuring wine tonics will
lose their licenses for handling alco
hol. This attitude of the federal
prohibition office is indicated by the
fact that proceedings to revoke a
federal permit already have been
started against a Seattle druggist
under arrest for selling wine tonics
for beverage purposes.

Editorial
The smoke filled air and cool eve
nings, remind us that fall is here
Fall, with its colored leaves and short
days, brings the football season. The
football season leads to that phrase
"Be Boosters." Rarely, in the history
of a successful team has there been
a discordant tune played by its
backers. Unity is the key of suc
cess. University of Washington, with
its student meeting for the dismis
sal of the coach after a slow start,
sets an example of wrong backing of
the team. The coach is undoubtedly
qualified for his job, and he is in a
position to know his problem. The
spectators and knockers know nothing
of the players or system except hear
say. Which one is the best suited to
run things? Often a fairly success
ful season is spoiled by an unback
ed, misrepresented rumor. A ? team
must have the backing of the right
Bort, not of. the "all wrong" type.
Few of the spectators are qualified
or can be compared with the coach
or even the players in knowledge of
the technique of the game; but if
they unite in a "do their best" at
titude their help is valuable. The
success of a team depends on a com
petent coach plus material plus loyal
boosters. ,

The game with Hermiston was quite
exciting with the only touchdown of
the game being made in the last
quarter, when Hermiston fought to
the 20 yard line and by a freak play
carried the ball across for a . touch
down. Although Hermiston had a
more experienced team, they did not
succeed in swamping the home team
as they have done previously. '
The line-up for Athena was as fol
lows: Fred Singer, Center; Cecil
Pambrun and Solista Pickett, guards;
Stafford Hansell and John Kirk, tack
