IL anywhere from three minutes up
to ten minutes when il will cut YOU
off the line and if YOU wish to talk
longer YOU have to let go of the but
ton and push ii again. For instance
If the meter is set to three minutes
YOU have automatic notice that you
have talked your limit on toll lines.
If YOU only talk a quarter of a min
ute that is all that is charged To YOU.
or if YOU talk five minutes each time
you will have only been charged with
one minute and a quarter. in fact
the meter registers as low as one
tenth of a minute.
Nobody wants to be limited in the
use of his own telephone. nor is he
with this device for he can push Il
button and keep right on talking if
he wants To. But again he knows
he is being charged for the use of
the machine by the minute and when
he is shut off automatically he is re-
minded that he is talking up money.
Few people would mind the expense
of a neighbor or visitor using their
phones for any proper or necessary
purpose at the low rates per minute
which are charged i'm these days, or
which would be charged if the phones
were all on a meter basis. but nobody

TOO MUCH TALK
TO NO PURPOSE
E. H. Martin Exploiting In
vention of His Own to
Eliminate Abuse of Tele
phone, Making It Cheaper
For Those Who Need It.

How much time did you spend last
month or last year. talking over the
telephone. and how much of that
time was ncedlcssly spent? How
much time was your telephone in use
by others who We're talking merely
for an idle purpose for the enter
tainmcnt of themselves or others
How many times did you get the
busy buzz or the response that Lines
busy" when you needed the tclc-
phone badly and some other per-
son was using your instrument
or that the person YOU had
business with? These questions can
not be answered of course but there
is an affirmative answer to the ques-
ton Of whether a large part of the
dcadhcad and useless use Of the telc-
phone cannot be eliminated.
L. II. Martin of Webster City. To-.
and Phoenix. Che lives in both
places has invented telephone me-
ter which accurately records the
minutes any telephone 10 which it is
attached is in use. during any state1
length of time There have been Eu-
merous attempts at such an invention
bit all other devices have been de-
clared as impracticable. expensive or
for some other reason undesirable.
Mr. Martin. who owns a telephone
system covering eight counties in
Iowa, says he has equipped his lines
with his own invention and il has
worked perfectly in actual practice. 1t
is no longer u mere theory. He holds
all the patents on the device and is
now engaged in organizing company
in New York with a million dollars
and handling of the invention. 1t is
adaptable to any telephone system
whether automatic or otherwise. The
mechanism is all within Il specially
made receiver which is attached to
the instrument in place of the one
furnished by the manufacturers or
telephone equipment.
The meter itself is a 10 size seven
jeweled watch movement that counts
minutes up TO 9999 and is mounted
in the telephone receiver. In order
to attach il to Il telephone il is only
necessary to take off the present re-
ceiver and connect the new one in
its place When you place the re-
cever To your ear YOU can't hear any
thing (beng cut off the line) until
you push Il button handily mounted
on the receiver. When you push this
button YOU do three things. first.
wind it, second start il. and third

giving selections by well known artists
and the program will be varied with
popular music, as well as the intro
duction of selections by grand opera
stars. such as Caruso. MeIba, Eames
and others equally we'll known. A
much higher grade of music is thus
assured.
For tonight Manager Kingwill has
secured reel showing The Parade
