remarks that sit is not assumed that
the American-controlled companies in

to beat down the prices Of Chicago
beef
At the present time the bulletin
says. there are nine establishments
for slaughtering. chilling. and export
ing beef in or near Buenos Aires and
five of these are owned or operated
by Chicago houses. Imported Argen-

which would affect not only the tele-
phone using public in Vermont but
those in other states who have occas.
ion to use the toll service to and
from that state. This course Of pro
cedure the company does not believe
is desired by the people in the state
of Vermont, nor can we believe that
it would in any way be in the gener-
al public interest.
4. The only other alternative. as
the officers of the company see it, TO
appeal to the courts for a hearing on
the merits. Under the established
rules Of court procedure an oppor-
tunity will be offered to have the is
sues Of the case defined before the
case is heard. and opportunity will
be given for cross examination and
argument upon whatever evidence
the courts may decide is material to
the issue.
Pending the decision of the
courts the company hopes that
the telephone using public OF the
state OF Vermont will appreciate anc
approve OF the motives Of the com
pany in asking for a judicial decision
and trusts that the public will sus-
pend opinion in the matter until TIE
decision has been reached. In The

In our use oil methods or apparatus, we are
committed 10 no one sytcm. We own, control or
have the right to use inventions necessary 10 op-
erae any system recognized or accepted as the
most efficient. The Bell System must always
recognize and in its selection must always be gov
erned by the necessities Of national service, with
its complex requirements, which Is infinitely more
cxac,ns than local or limited service.
These achievements represent vast expenditures
OF money and immense concentration oil effort which
have been justified by the results Of Unreasonable
benefit to the public. No local company unaided
could bear the financial or scientific burden OF this
work. Such results are possible only through
centralized general STALL, avoiding wasleiul dupli-
cation Of effort, working out problems common to
all for the benefit Of all.
The pioneers OF the Bell System recognized that
telephone service as they saw II, was IN the
broadcast sense public Utility; that upon Them
rested public Obligation 10 give the best possible
service at the most reasonable rates consistent
with risk, investment and the continued improve
ment and maintenance OF IFS property.
Without this expenditure OF millions and con-
centraion Of effort, the telephone art as it exists
could not have been developed.
What we have done in working ovt these great
problems in the past should be accepted as svar-
antec Of what we will do in the future.

TELEPHONE ACHIEVEMENTS


versaion could be had over long distance circuits OF
which much as 20 miles was in UNDERGROUND cables
By 1906 underground talking distance had increaced
to 90 miles. BY 1912 II was possible to talk I'M
dergroUnd from New York 10 Washington.
II was then that the construction OF UNDERGROUND
condvits from Boston to washington was detcrm-
ined upon, not hal It was expected to get
through underground talk between those places,
but in case Of Storm or blizzard, 10 utilize inter-
mediate sections in connection with the overhead.
Our persistent study and inccssant experimental
ton have produced results more remarkable
still.
We have perfected cables apparatus and meth
DDS that have overcome obstacles heretofore re-
sarded as insuperable both to long distance over
head and underground conversation.
Underground conversation is now possible be-
tween Boston and Washington, four times the length
Of The LONGEST European underground line This
enabled the Bell System in the recent great storm,
so destructive on land and sc-- to maintain COM
muncation for the public between all the principal
points on the Atlantic seaboard.
Telephone communication is established between
New York and Denver, is potentially possible be-
tween all points in the United States, and by 1915
will be an accomplished fact between New York
and San Francisco.

Long distance and underground transmission
was The most formidable scientific problem con-
fronting the telephone experts.
The retardide effect Of the earth on the tele
phone current often impaired conversation through
one mile underground as much as through 100
miles overhead. Overhead conversiI ion had lis
distinct limitations.
No possible improvement IN the telephone trans
mittcr covld OF itself solve these difficulties
The solution was only found in the cumulative
effect OF improvements, great and small, in tele-
phone transmitter, line, cable, switchboard, and
ev,ry other piece Of apparatus or plant required,
In the transmission Of speach

had increased IRON strictly local TO over 1000 miles

In no line oil human endeavor has The inventive
brain Of the scientist contributed more to the
worlds progress than by the creation Of the art OF
telephony, Of which the BELL system Is the en-
hodiment.
When the telephone was born. nothing analogous
to telephone service as we now know II existed
There was no tradition to guide, no experience to
follow.
The system, the apparatus, the methods an en-
lire new art had to be created. The art OF cleo
trica engineering did mol exist. The Bell pioneers,
recognizing that success depended upon The high
est engineering and technical skill at once organ
lied an experimental and research department
which is now directed by staff OF over $50 en-
eineers and scientists, including former professors,
postgraduate students, Scientific Investigators
the graduates OF ov.r 20 universities.
From its foundation the company has continu-
ously developed the art. New improvements N
telephones switchboards, lines, cables, have fol-
lowed one another with remarkable rapidly.
While each successive type OF apparatus to the
superficial observer suggested similarity, each step
in the evolution ma ked decided Improvement.
These CHANGES this evolution, has not only been
continuous, but is continuing. Substantially all OF
the plant now in use, including telephones, switch
boards, cables and wires, has been constructed,
renewed or reconstructed In the past 10 years.
Particularly in swtchboards have the CHANGES
been so radical that installations costing in the az
eresatc millions have frequently been discarded
alter only few years Of use.
Since 1877 there have been introduced s. types
and styles Of receivers Is type, and styles Of trans
mitters OF the 100000 telephone receivers and
transmiliers owned by the BELL Company Januaryi,

Within 10 years we have expended for construc-
ton and reconstruction an amount more than equal

uprising of the women of
fashion, who absolutely re-
fuse to follow the freaky
dressing which so many Of
the newspapers and fashion maya
zines Of the United States label as
Partisan comes as rather a bolt
from the blue
Those of us who have done our
travelling by the time tables and
guide books, have always had an
idea that new fashion in Paris was
IS important as q new drink on
Broadway, and as the styles have
grown more tight as to the bottom,
lower as to the top, and more bout
FAINT as to the middle of all the femi-
nine garments pictured Of late, we
had begun to think Of the Partisan
dressmaker as d dreamer of night
mares, and the women who first wore
the creations" as the bravest Of the
brave
And when our American women
adopted the skin tight skirt, and slit
it as high as the law would permit,
IN order to walk; when she left off
most Of her underclothes, and wore
what was left in as light weight as
the looms would turn out-most of
US, belonging to the Old Fashioned
Order, began to be afraid to look
at any Of the fashion books and the
Wolnen's pages in the Sunday news
papers, lest we should see other
things more startling still.
And now comes word that the
women Of Paris land thanks be there
are enough Of them to make q noise)
have declared themselves against the
immodest, ugly and senseless styles
which have been created" there
and which have been exploited first
by the demi-monde, the sensational
actresses, and the models for artists
and sculptors..
1t is to be devoutly- hoped that
the women OF other countries will
follow the lead of the French
women, and that we shall have a
return to the graceful and sensible
costuming which a year or two ago
saw
But there is some room for other
thought in this item: all Of these
freak fashions, all the outre and
bizarre effects which have been MAX
ing caricutures Of the women who
would be ''in styie'i- the crea-
tions of men.
Poiret, Worth, Poucett, Paquin,
and a dozen or more men have been
making models of dresses and hats
which have made possible more ludi-
crous "effects" than the world has
Witnessed since the hoop-skirt, the
hustle and the Grecian bend went
into limbo with the shades of our
grandmOtherS.
1t proves that, where man will
lead, woman will follow, and it must
be hard for the ardent or otherwise
suffragette to realize that, SO accus-
toned have we become to recognize
ing this old place as a mans world,
so obediently do we follow his beck
and call, SO long have we left to him
the final decision in everything-
that it did not occur to us to rebel
when dozen or more Of him told
us we must wear hats over one eye,
or both; that we must tie ourselves
down in corsets which reached to our
knees in order to get "the outline
effect" and then squeeze that
"effect" into two breadths of cloth;
that we must slit the skirts fore or
aft; that we must go with stockings
and shoes that are the joy of the
mosquito in summer, and the best
asset of the doctor and the under
taker in the winter; that we must

DOES ALL EDUCATION EDUCATE?
tt HERE was once a most excellent
L mother who was devoted to her
children. She rarely left them alone,
but it was necessary once that she
do so. After seeing that there was
no danger from their getting burned
up with fire (she carefully put all
the fires out) and locking the pantry
so that they might not get sick eat
ing the jams and cakes-she finally
admonished them, as she was about
to leave, not to put beans in their
noses.
After this most worthy mother
had gone to do her shopping, it oc-
Cured to one Of the children that
there were some beans in the house
and the suggestion of NOT putting
some of them in their noses,
appealed most fascinatingly to the
elder ones, with the natural result.
When the mother returned, she
found fearful and painful lot of
offspring each Of whom had it's
nose quite full Of beans, and it took
some doctors, more pain, and "quite
some money to get the beans out.
In this grand and glorious United
States, we have been worrying a
great deal, and with good cause, at
the status Of our children, especially
in the larger cities.
We have had curfeW laws enacted
in number Of towns and cities, and
we have Homes for the Delinquent;
Probation Houses, Houses of Correc-
ton and Detention; Juvenile Courts,
with farms attached to develop NOR
ais and muscles-and it would seem
that the time for some benefit to
have been derived from all this legis-
latiOn for our youth, should have
arrived.
But it hasn't; any policeman will
tell you SO; all the school teachers
will tell you SO; a great many par
ents will tell you so, and the records
Of the reform schools and all other
places referred to will prove to you
that the children are in worse shape
now than they were before.
There is always q reason for a
cause, and if one looks at what we
are pleased to call our modern meth
DDS Of education, our system of pub
lie school teaching, our unlimited
supply of filthy literature in the
Sunday" papers, the bill-boards
Offering in every place where a bill
board can find space to stand-one
doesn't wonder SO much at the de-
Inquincies Of our young people.
Lately there has been a deal said
about the teaching of eugenics and
hygiene TO the children Of the public
schools.
We were assured a great many
years ago that cleanliness was next
to Goodness, and it may be that
few of us have failed to grasp the
fact that moral cleanliness was what
was meant, Bodily cleanliness is
bound to be where the moral variety
exists.
Given the perfect teacher, and the
normal, clean-minded child, it is not
hard to suppose these added branches
to the public school curriculum
would beneft-but we have gotten
long way from selecting teachers
for their ideality. 1t seems a hard
matter to many Of us, to realize that

in all our glory-and so make an
end to the ridicule which has most
justly been levelled at us.
This is, has always been, and al
ways will be a world where man
mere or otherwise-will boss, rule,
reign and lead, and it will save lot
of breath, worry and nerves if the
Average Woman will try to act as
missionary to the misguided sister
hood which thinks otherwise.
