phone to match the famous first message
of the Morse telegraph: What hath God
wrought
The first recorded message carried by
the telephone was commonplace in the
extreme 1t was simply Mr.. Watson,
come here. l want YOU Probably Mr.,
Bell at that time had thought that he
was making history he would have been
better prepared.
There was little general or dramatic
interest about this occasion. 1t was mere
ly one Of an extensive series Of expert
ments in which some small improve
ment in the instruments or our increased
expertness In using them just made the
difference between indistinctness and dis.
tinctness After this the improvement
was more rapid, and In the cary summer
of 1876 it had become possible to con-
verse fluently between two rooms.
Merely Experimental.
"All this time no attempt had been
made to try the telephone on an actual
telegraph line, as Mr.. Bell felt that 1t
was better to continue the experiments
in the laboratory, until it became possi-
BILE to carry on a sustained conversation
under those conditions. r-
But in October, 1876 the use of a pri-
vate telegraph line belonging to the Wal
worth Manufacturing Company was OBJ
tanned. This wire ran from their ofhce.
in kilby street (Boston). to thstr main
factory. in Main street. Carnbridgeport.
about two miles distant. The evening OF
October was elected for the test.
Mr.. Bell took charge of the kilby
ST It station and I of the Cambridge
port station. On receiving the signai
agreed upon through the telegraph in
strunent. I disconnected it from the cir
cult. connected the telephones, and lis
tened for MIR. Bells voice I could hear
only the faintest murmur. reminding me
OF the first sounds I heard In the first
experiments more than a year before.
What was the matter? Could 1t be
that there was some condition in an ac-
tual telegraph line that the telephone.
though working so well on an artificial
line. could not fulfll?
For awhile it certainly looked so. We
spent some time in carefully adjusting
the instruments and their connection.

That motoring Washington pos
sesses a keener appreciation of the
advantage of a good direct highway
between the National Capital and
Richmond than does commercial WASH
ington-which would be the greatest
gainer-is apparent in the remarks of
william Ullman. secretary Of the
American Automobile Associations
District of Columbia Club. who. in a
recent newspaper interview. pointed
out why washingtonians should see
that the Richmond-Washing high
way is completed without delay and
suggested that those who would BEN
eft by its completion subscribe to
fund for that purpose.
To a representative of The Herald
Mr. Ullman stated that since the pub
licstion of the interview many promi-
nent motorists called at A. A. A..
headquarters in the Riggs Building
and not only signified their willing
ness to subscribe money to a fund.
but also rendered their services in the
work Of arousins the interest of 9TH

Commercial Interests Slows
the fact that up to last night there
had been no response from commercial
Washington. which would derive the
greatest amount of good from a good
highway extending directly from this
city to the chief commercial and his
toric points of the Old Dominion.
Washington hotels especially would
benefit by this, he states.
According to Mr.. Ullman, the hotels
