Passengers on the outgoing 500
o'clock train over the Central Vermont
railroad experienced a number of vexing
DELAYS before they made the desired con-
nections at Montpelier Junction yester-
day afternoon. Near Ladd street, there
was sudden jolting and a quick halt,
while passengers and householders in
that locality rushed TO the head of the
train expecting to see someone badly
mangled or a dead steer on the tracks,
at least The conductor lsconically ex-
planned that something was wrong with
the piston on locomotive No. 80, and
those aboard the cars passed several
anxious moments before No. so had been
relocated to the rear N favor of yard
engine No. 1922. On the heights between
here and Montpelier No. S22 had to tar
nv vt awhile on account of a hot box.
Locomotive No. 50 was towed TO the
shops in Montpelier Junction, where il
will be shelved for repairs until next

 While the limit of commercial overhead talking had increased from strictly local to 1000 miles early 1893, it not until 1905 that conversa- tion could be had long distance circuits of which much 20 miles in underground cables By 1906 underground talking distance had increased to 90 miles. By 1912 it possible to talk under ground from New York to Washington.
 It was then that the construction of underground conduits from Boston to Washington was determined upon-not that it expected to get through underground talk between those places, but in of storm blizzard to utilize intermediate sections in connection with the overhead
 Our persistent study and incessant experimenta tion have produced results more remarkable still
 We have perfected cables, apparatus and meth ods that have overcome obstacles heretofore regard ed insuperabe both to long distance overhead and underground conversation.
 Underground conversation is possible be- tween Boston and Washington, four times the length of the longest European underground line. This en- abled the Bell System in the recent great storm destructive on land and sea- to maintain communica- ton for the public between all the principal points the Atlantic seaboard

We oWn control or have the right to inventions necessary to operate any system recognized accepted as the most efficient The Bell System must always recognize, and in its selection must always be governed by the necessities of national service with its complex requirements which is infinitely more exacting than local limited service.
 These achievements represent vast expenditures of money and immense concentration of effort which have been justified by results of measurable bene- fit to the public. No local company unaided could bear the financial scientific burden of this work Such results possible only through a centralized general staff avoiding wasteul duplication of effort working out problems common to all for the benefit of all
 The pioneers of the Bell System recognized that telephone service they it, was in the broadest public utility; that upon them rested public obligation to give the best possible service at the most reasonable rates consistent with risk, invest ment and the continued improvement and mainten- ance of the property.
 Without this expenditure of millions and concen- traon of effort the telephone art it exists could not have been developed
 What have done in working out these great problems in the past should be accepted as guar antee of what we will do in the future.

In no line of human endeavor has the inventive brain of the scientist contributed to the worlds progress than by the creation of the of telephony of which the Bell System is the embodiment
 When the telephone born, nothing analogous to telephone service as we now know it existed There was no tradition to guide, no experience to follow
 The system the apparatus, the methods an en- tire new art had to be created The art of electrical engineering did not exist. The Bell pioneers, recog pizng that success depended upon the highest engi neering and technical skill at organized an perimental and research department which is now directed by staff of $50 engineers and scien sts, including former professors post graduate stu dents scientific nvestigators-the graduates of 70 universities.
 From it's foundation the company has continu ously developed the art New improvements in tele- phones, switchboards lines, cables, have followed another with remarkable rapidty.
 While each successive type of apparatus to the superficial observer suggested similarity each step in the evolution marked a decided improvement These changes this evolution, have not only been continuous but continuing. Substantially all of the plant in use, including telephones, switch boards cables and wires, has been constructed, re- newed or reconstructed in the past 10 years.
 Particularly in swtchboarcs have the changes been so radical that installations costing in the az gregate millions have frequently been discarded after only few years of use
 Since 1877 there have been introduced 53 types and styles of receivers and 73 types and styles of transmitters Of the 120O0,000 telephone receivers and transmitters owned by the Bell Company Janu ary l. 1914, were in use prior to 1902 while the average age is less than five years
 Within 10 years we have expended for ccnstruc tion and reconstruction an amount than equal to the present book value of our entire plant.
 Long distance and underground transmission was the most formidable scientific problem confronting the telehpone experts
 The retarding effect of the earth the telephone current often impaired conversation through mile underground much as through 100 miles overhead Overhead conversation had its distinct limitations
 No possible improvement in the telephone trans hitter could of itself solve these difficulties.
 The solution was only found in the cumulative eff feet of improvements, great and small, in telephone transmitter line cable switchboard and every other
