not make itself felt at least three-auarters
of a mile away over all the other noises
Of city streets and through bends in roads
and thick woodland. Power Of this kind is
essential in an automobile horn. Its warn
ing must reach the ear Of every one who
may possibly be in the way long before the
car arrives or is even in signt. and its
sound must not only be distinctive, but
half terrifying.
The sound Of the signal horn, experts in
its manufacture agree. must be short
harsh and sharp. Its tone must not be
musical because musical tones lull and
soothe. 1t has to alarm and get the man
or woman who hears it back to earth
instantly.
SO the automobile signal horn, as it has
been perfected today, Is very much in the
same category as the short sharp blasts
of a locomotive whistle. This is on the
theory that an automobile is practically a
locomotive, though on a highway with
many other classes Of traffic. The highway
it travels over--to make the situation more
difficult-has no flagmen, no gates, no pre-
caution against accident Nothing remains
TO warn the careless pedestrian against dis
ester but a signal that shall be so powerful
that no one can possibly miss hearing It

words car coming out Of the way!"
The signal horn industry has advanced
step by step with the building OF cars
Without devices Of the present sort auto
MODELLING would not have progressed nearly
SO rapidly For the car in rapid motion
needs its warning sound far ahead of It,
With such a sound part Of the machine
automobiling has now attained a measure
OF safety that could have been reached in
no other way.
The first auto signal came from France
and was reed horn The first French
machines that were brought to America
were equipped with it. The reed horn was
not effective, because Il developed too little
power II could not be heard at any great
distance and to build It so as to produce
any great sound would have been imprac-
ticable. Yet this was the chef horn until
just three years ago, when the efforts Of
inventors began 70 make the new types
possible. once these commenced to get on
the market they quickly attracted the at
tenton Of all expert and progressive driv-
ers OF cars.
Along with the old reed horn-it is old
by comparison now. though but three years
away-came the electric bell and the shaft
driven siren. These signals had precisely
the same faults as their contemporary
they had not nearly enough power and no
distinct raucous sound.
Much scientific study and investigation
has been put into making just the proper
sort of warning sounds. The first problem
was to invent a noise that should be sud
den and decisive and, should mean to every
one "Automobiler Then mechanism had
to be devised to make that noise carry a
long way. Then a third factor appeared
for the successful signal horn-it must be

The man or woman driving a car at high
speed has plenty to do without bothering
with a horn. The really valuable horn
must be so handy to manage that it works
very nearly automatically. The car must
almost emit the noise of its own effort, as
welcoming dog barks loudly on the run
Fully half a dozen signal horns have
been invented in the last three years, each
with It's own peculiar warning cry and
mechanism, each having its own enthusiasts

GREATEST TELEPHONE SYSTEM
That of New York Boasts of 100000
Subscribers and Assets of over
O,OOO,OOO.

The territory covered by the Greater New
York Telephone company is snug little
area of about 10000 square miles. with a
population of 20OO0,00o.
1t covers the states of New York, New
Jersey Pennsylvania, Delaware Maryland,
parts Of West Virginia and Ohio and
very small part of Connecticut.
Roughly speaking, it lies between the
Potomac on the south and the St. Law
renee on the north, stretching over beyond
the Alleghenies to the territory around
the headwatsrs of the Ohio on the west
and to the Atlantic seaboard and the New
England line on the east.
In that territory we have about $4,000
telephones at the present time. and the
number is increasing very rapidly. New
York City has about 100000 of these sta
tions, the rest of the state Of New York,
roughly speaking, has $4,000, or total in
this northern division OF 765,OO0, against
500 900 in the Pennsylvania territory.
With all of the Implications out of the
balance sheet we find that we have total
assets Of something over 500 100000. There
are about $2l, 900 in real estate in ex-
change lines $50, 5OOO OO in toll lines SCI OOO,-
900, in equipment s47 10000, and in other
plants $5,5OO.OOO bringing the total up to
s1s2,OOo 600 on plant alone
Such items as furniture and fixtures,
tools, teams and supplies, stocks and
bonds, bills and accounts receivable and the
cash on hand bring the total to $500 900. 900
of assets. During the first nine months Of
this year the operations have been on
scale that has produced about $40 900, 600 in
gross earnings. of which 500 cocoon have
been taken in operating expenses leaving
81. OO0OO for interest and dividends, sur
plus and reserve.
I give these figures simply TO give you
some idea OF the size of this Greater
New York Telephone company Relatively
our snug little system is about one-thlrd
of the entire Bell system In the United
States. We have approximately one-fourth
of the stations and little less than one
third Of the employees. but we produce one
third Of the gross and the net revenue, so
that, making a composite picture OF It, 1t
Is fair to say that this system is approx
imately one-third of the Bell system in the
United States.
Great Britain In area is about as large as
| our territory. Great Britain has about
! twice the population that we have; Great
Britain has about one-half the number Of
telephones that we have; hence in develop
ment we have four to Great Britain's one.
Mr.. Gains, the late general manager Of the
national company, used to be pleased to
say: Bethel, there is one thing 1 beat
you In and that is population"
Our system is about equal to the sta
lions Of Great Britain ana Germany com
bined, Great Britain and Germany rep
resent about 30 per cent of the telephone
development In Europe. hence our system
is equal TO one-han OF all the telephone
stations of Europe combined, and il is the
largest telephone system under one operat-
ing management in the whole wide world

Madame X" the powerful melo-drama
continues to be the dramatic sensation of
the time. No play in recollection has so

in Paris whence it came, it played for
an entire season-an unprecedented rec
ord for the French metropolis. In New
York, Madame X'' has been seen by 40O.-
900 playgoers Madame X' will be seen
at the Brandeis here. played by a notably
fine company. beginning with next Sunday
night. The trial scene has been unani-
mously voted the most thrilling and NOV
ing ever written in any drama. A mother,
on trial for killing a rascal who meant
to harm her son she had deserted twenty
years before, suddenly discovers that the
young lawyer whom the court has ap-
pointed to defend her, is none other than
her own boy. The mother has fallen to
the gutter and dares not betray her
identity-truly situation to bring tears to
the most callous spectators eyes. The
realism Of the whole drama, Of which
this scene Is characteristic, Is beyond
praise, while the effect of the play
battles the expert to picture in advance.

ment of comedy to support the love in
