A humorous fragment on telephone numbers linked to everyday acts and people, including a cigar dealer, a lover, a new bride, a German, a moneylender, and a bookmaker. It weaves playful digit puns with social scenes, then shifts to Moslem etiquette and a quick, cheeky exchange between Mr and Mrs Newliwed.
A government Army paymaster's safe, containing about 8000 in greenbacks, with a 400 pound fireproof lockbox, endured prolonged Apache attempts to open it. They pounded, burned, rolled it off a cliff, soaked it in a river, and exploded it, but the ammunition and technique failed. The safe remained intact and was recovered days after the hostilities ended.
