Long distance and underground transmits sion was the most formidable scientific problem confronting the telephone experts.
 The retarding effect of the earth on the telephone current often impaired cOnversa- tion through one mile underground as much as through 100 miles overhead. Overhead conversation had its distinct limitations.
 No possible improvement in the telephone transmitter could of itself solve these diff culties.
 The solution was only found in the cumu- lative effect of improvements. great and small. in telephone. transmitter lne cable, switchboard, and every other piece of ap- paratus or plant required in the transmits sion of speech.
 While the limit of commercial overhead talking had increased from strictly local to over 1000 miles as early as 1893, il was not

Telephone Achievements
Telephone serice o Today the Creation of the Bell Compoo,

In no line of human endeavor has the in- more to the worlds progress than by the creation of the art of telephony, of which the Bell system is the embodiment.
 When the telephOnewas born, nothing an al0gous to telephone service as we now know it existed. There was nc tradition to guide, no experience to follow.
 The system. the apparatus, the methods an entire new art had to be created. The art of electrical engineering did net exist. The Beli pioneers, recognizing that success depended upon the highes! engineering and technical skill at once organized an expert mental and research department which Is now directed by a staff of over $50 engin- cers, pest graduate students, scientific in- vestigators-the graduates of over 70 uni versailles
 From it's foundation the company has con tinually developed the art. Now improve ments in telephones, switchboards, lines, cables have followed one another with re- markable rapidity.
 While each successive type of apparatus to the superficial observer suggested simi- larity, each step in the evolution marked a decided improvement. These changes. this evolution has not only been continuous but is continuing. Substantially all of the plant now in use. including telephones switchboards, cables and wires, has been constructed. renewed or reconstructed in the past 10 years.
 Particularly in swtchbOards have the changes been radical that installations costing in the aggregate millions have ire quently been discarded after only few years of use.
 Since 1877 there have been introduced B types and styles of receivers and 73 types and styles of transmtters Of the 12,000,- GOO telephone receivers and transmtters owned by the Bell Company January l. 1914. none were in use prior to 1902, while the average age is less than five years.
 Within 10 years we have expended for construction and reconstruction an amount more than equal to the presen; book value CT our entire plant.

LIQUOR yS. EDUCATION

Last year, according to the census reports, the people of this intelligent republic consumed little more than [ 1885, ,000,0 gallons of whisky, wine and beer. It is safe to say that the drinks cost the consumers an average of dollar a gallon. The beer cost less than dollar a gallon on the 2v- craze, perhaps, but the whisky and wine cost good deal more. In other words, the people paid for drinks 'aGt year in round numbers, billion dol lars.
 We think we are well fixed in t1e way of colleges, universities technical schools. high schools and common schools and, as compared with otAey countries, we are. Many of our col- leges and universities are magnificent " endowed. Nearly every state in the Union supports a university, an aeri- cultural college, several normal schools and special reformatory schools Every legislature grumbles about the enormous expense to the tc', payers of keeping up these institl- tions.
 And yet If you will add together the total value of the buildings and endowments of all the colleges, uni versailles and technical schools in the United States; if you will add to that all the appropriations made by the various state legislatures to support the state universities, agricultural col leges and normal schools; if you will add to that all the cost of the high school buildings and common school buildings; if you will add to that all the money paid for teachers in all these schools and all the money paid for lighting. heating and repairs, you will find that it amounts to less than $1 400 ,OOO ,0OO.
 In other words, if every college and university building, every high school and every country school were swept out of existence tomorrow and every uOIldT OI euUOWfnentS lOSJ ana every appropriation by state legislatures to sustain these institutions should cease they could all be replaced with the money that is spent for drinks in this country in a single year and have enough left over to pay for the con- struction of the Panama Canal, and after that bill was settled there would still be enough left to build trans continental line of railroad from the Atlantic to Pacific ocean.
 It the amount spent for whisky, wine and beer by the people of the United States during the past 10 years could have been saved, it would be sufficient to build comfortable home for every family in the Union.
 It looks as if people ought to have more sense, but they haven't and, what | is more, so far as can see, they are not acquiring sense very fast. In all | probability the drink bill for the year 1914 will he as heavy as it was for the | year 1913.-Selected.

In our use and methods or apparatus, we are committed to no one system. We own. control CT have the right to use inventions necessary to operate any system recognized or accepted as the most efficient. The Bell System must always recognize. and in it selection must always be governed by the necessities of a national service with its complex requirements. which is infinitely more exacting than loca! or limited service
 These achievements represent vast ak penditures of money and immense concen- to the public. No local company unaided could bear the financial or scientific burden of this work. Such results are possible only through a centralized general staff avoiding wasteful duplication 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 it was in the broadest sense public utility; that up- on them rested q public obligation to give the best possible service at the most reasOn- able rates consistent with risk, investment and the continued improvement and main tenance of it's property.
 Without this expenditure of millions and concentration of effort, the telephone art as it exists could not have been developed.
 What we have done in working out these great problems in the past should be ac- cepted as a guarantee of what we will do in the future.

 Underground conversation is now possible between Boston and Washington, four times the length of the longest European under ground line. This enabled the Bell System in the recent great storm, so destructive on land and sea, to maintain communication for the public between all the principal points on the Atlantic scaboard.
 Telephone communication is established between New York and Denver, is potential ly possible between all points in the United States, and by 1915 will be an accomplished fact between New York and San Francisco
