the others. Any schoolboy can see
how 1t works by doing a sum on his

Nevertheless, when the govern

we shall have tWo-cent local calls

panies- Here 1t costs six-tenths OF
a cent per measured mile for tele
phoning over long distances. In
Germany one may have three min
utes' conversation over distance of
700 miles for 4S cents. In the United
States this would cost S420. The
rates In England for local telephone
service are about half Of ours.
One reason why telephoning costs
so much more in this country than
abroad Is that we use almost exclu-
sively the so-called manual" sys-
tenn, which refuses the help OF mo-
chanical devices. Such devices,
which make connections, etc., auto
maticaly, effect great saving In
labor and expense. They are now be.
ginning to be used In the State OF
Ohio.
It is beyond question that tele-
phones are destined in the future

cation they are vastly more efficient
and they are more generally useful.
