Efficient Service Requires
Sufficient Facilities

To meet these requirements Il 10
essential not only that there be at ali
times sufficient cable facilities, under
one control, but that they should be
operated interchanseably with each
other and in close physical connec-
ton with land lines as one system.
Ample spare facilities are necessary
to provide against the very frequent
cable interruptions.
Neither the Western Union nor any
one of the companies of the Western
Union group has, independently of the
others, facilities enough to handle
the business which at times any one
company might be called upon to take
care of, because of some particular
rush Of business, or because of some
cable interruption. Nor could any one
company furnish all the direct circuits
necessary for efficient service, al
though the combined facilities of
these companies are ample If they
could be used supplementary to each
other and INTERCHANGEABLE.
AS 1t is, each company operates its
own cables through separate and dis
tinct Offices and under separate and
distinct management. Allinterchange
of business Is by actual transfer of the
business from one company to the
other, with the consequent delay and
interruption of a service in which
seconds are valuable

There is no cable monopoly pos

The Mackay Companies is hold

IT'S The OLD
HOMESTEAD
TONIGHT

"The Old Homestead" the mas
terpiece of New England rural
dramas, is now in the twenty-fifth
season of its success. 1t is still
owned and controlled by the veteran
author-actOr, Denman Thompson,
though the old gentleman seldom ap-
pears in the play nowadays. He is II
years old, and is taking much
needed rest these days in his splen-
did summer home at West Swanzey,
New Hampshire. He takes a deep
interest in "The Old Homestead, ,"
however, and the company never
starts out on seasons tour without
having been thoroughly rehearSed by
him. No one interested in the thea
ter should miss seeing "The Old
Homestead this season, for the play
will probably not last forever, and
time slips past with a whirr these
days, and the changes are great as
they are unexpected. And no one
who holds the theater as vile and
communicating should miss seeing
"The Old Homestead" or they will
lose their chief argument of what
might have been. If you belong to
the first class, you say you have seen
1t before, even twice before you may
be sure you will enjoy it as much at
the third time; if you are of the sec
ond set, you say that you have heard
that originally "The Old Homestead"
was broad and unseemly, then all
more credit should fall to him who
has lifted it out of the mire and
cleansed and purified it, 1t is one of
the plays that can be recommended
to all sorts and conditions of men,
and, while this advice is an old story,
it naturally follow in the wake of
this classic among heart-plays. "The

ness the stage knows. Grand opera
