they are ordering a new telephone OF
moving the old one into a new ad-
dress, 1T won't be any trouble at all {:
the house Is all wired for Bell tele-
phone" They do not stop TO think
that every time telephone Is movedl
or a new one put In for a new tenant
that 1t must have new pair or wires
"a new circuit" all the way to the
central Office. III this were not done
the new subscriber would be getting
all the calls of the old subscriber.
"Oh. don't mind that" The &C
commodating new subscriber often
says.
Thank you." the polite and appre-
ciative telephone man says. but you
see we must fix IL so that other sub.
scribers calling your number for the
old party will be given the correct In
formation. The only way We can do
that is to plug up the old line at the
switchboard with a plug which tells
the operator at glance that the old
subscriber has moved and his new
number is Bell 1894"
You will remember that there Is a
Bell directory published every four
months. In four months there are
!, 500 moves. So there must be 400 to
1,600 lines plugged up In the Bell
sv itchboards all the time just to tell
the operator where the people move
TO. Moreover, thousand new lines
must be provided every month for the
new subscribers. In other words, when
the company opened up for business
m
500 spare lines on hand to take care
OF it's new business for 1910.
And the spare lines must be on
hand. too; for the company never can
tell just what minute or in what part
OF the city a demand for immediate
service will De made. Four hundred
moves month and 1000 new sub
scribers a month means 1,400 lines a
month, 60 every working day, one
every nine minutes. SO the Bell COM
pany must get new pair OF wires
from central to somebody's house
in some part OF the city every nine
minutes, and the average length OF
each pair Is 21k miles!
Obviously they cannot run" 2 IL
miles OF wire in nine minutes. Then
tney must nave IL aiTeduy run NoW
this wouldn't be difficult IL the tele-
phone people could forsee year in
advance just in what part Of the city
each spare pair" OF wires was 60
ing to be needed. They could then
put in the $1,000 pairs the first OF
the year and sit down and wait until
next year. But the telephone man,
even with the great long distance
Bell system at his command, cannot
telephone into the distant or even the
immediate future and tell what Is 60
ing to happen. So instead Of provid-
ing just enough wires for years
growth, and distributing them over
the various parts of the city, the tele-
phone company must provide thous-
ands OF spare wires in every part Of
the city to be ready for emergency

be in constant communication with

"Yes; today. or first thing in the

the manager.
Notice that the manager does not
ask for the address first. 1t makes no
difference what the location is, the
far-seeing engineer has long ago made
provision for just such emergencies.
Very often such requests call for
installation In a district three or four
miles from the nearest central" but
there Is always a spare pair" OF

up In these fast-growing outlaying

poles a month--300 poles means rs

Ladies' and Gentlemen: This Is
little story with the niftiest moral
attached you ever saw. For many
long year philosophers and others have
warned humanity against enlarged
craniums. No one apparently ever
liked an individual possessed of what
the vulgar see fit to call a swelled
head" excepting. OF course, for ones
own self II has been regarded perfect
ly right and justifiable.
But now 1t has been decided that
swelled heads are not only nuisances
to friends and innocent bystanders,
but harmful to the guilty parties
themselves. Scientists have proved
this.
