as an agency in the conduct of social
and commercial affairs throughout
our country.
Some idea, however, necessarily
Incomplete and inadequate as to the
size and Importance of the Bell Sys-
TEN as it is today, may be conveyed
by few figures:
Using round figures, there are in
the system, including connecting
companies, 100000 tealphone sta
tions and 31,OOO,OO0 miles of wire.
The plant of the American company
and its associated companies alone
reprents an investment of $3.50, ,000.-
600
THE army of men and women en-
gagged in it's operations, exclusive of
those employed by connecting com
panies, numbers 100000.
THE universally of the system is
strikingly shown by the fact that
while in our country there are ap-
proximately $4,000 places reached by
the telegraph, 10000 railroad stations
and like number of postoffices, the
telephone joins together no less than
10000 communities.
The value of that agency as told
by the extent to which it is used, can
not be expressed in figures easily
comprehensive.
The messages transmitted over its
lines number approximately nine bill
ions a year. To aid us in our attempt
to catch the Significance of this fig
ure, the statisticians say that it is
equivalent to twenty-six million mes
sages day. or more than one million
per hour throughout the twenty-four.
THE telephone has attained its
largest measure of usefulness in the
land of its birth. 1t is sufficient to
make but one comparison. In the two
cities We are joining together tele-
phonically-New York and San Fran
cisco-there are 6S5, 900 telephone sta
tions. more. by $4,000 than Paris, Ber-
lin, Vienna, Brussels, Amsterdam and
Petrograd combined
The population of those European
capitals is more than three times that
of the two American cities named.
The statistics as to those foreign
cities. may say, relate to conditions
before the commencement of the Eu-
ropean war.
From the beginning the develop
ment of the art of telephony has been
advanced in America more than in any
other country and more than in all
other countries combined. American
engineers, inventors and financiers:
American operating, commercial and
accounting forces, through the intro
duction of new ideas and practices.
have always kept the unit system of
the United States in the foremost posi-
ton among the telephone systems of
the world and made it. in all respects,
the universally recognized model.

many CASES Of
RHEUMATISM NOW
Says We Must Keep Feet Dry,
Avoid Exposure and
Eat Less Meat

Stay off the damp ground, avoid ex-
posure, keep feet dry, eat less meat,
drink lots of water, and above ALL
take a spoonful of salts occasionally
to keep down uric acid.
Rheumatism is caused by poisonous
toxin, called uric acid, which is gener-
ated in the bowels and absorbed into
the blood. 1t is the function of the
kidneys to filter this acid from the
blood and cast it out in the urine. The
pores of the skin are also means of
freeing the blood of this impurity. In
damp and chilly, cold weather the skin
pores are closed, thus forcing the kid
neys to do double work, they become
weak and sluggish and fail to eiimi-
nate this uric acid which keeps aecu-
mulating and circulating through the
system, eventually settling in the
Joints and muscles, causing stiffness,
soreness and pain called rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
full in a glass of water and drink be-
fore breakfast each morning for a
week. This is said to eliminate uric
acid by stimulating the kidneys to
normal action, thus ridding the blood
of these impurities.

Civic Club Has Plan
For Public Playground

The Steelton Civic Club at a meet
ing in Trinity parish house yesterday
afternoon, decided to ask borough
council to permit the closing of a Sec
ton of North Second street, to allow
the ground to be used as a public play
ground. Members of the club declar-
ed that the street is little used north
of Franklin street to Gibson and that,
as there are few houses on either side,
it would make an ideal playground.
The club decided to carry out its
plan to provide gardens for the bor-
ough's needy by obtaining permission
from property owners to use the va
cant ground in the borough. Mrs.
Robert NJ. Rutherford was made
chairman of the committee to complete
the plan and Mrs. w. F. Darby was
appointed to succeed Mrs. Frank Car
ney, who has gone to Florida.

AUTOMOBILE SHOWS
ARE IN FULL SWING
[Continucd from First Page.l

The variety at the shows is enough
to interest everyone whether or not
he is a gasoline enthusiast. The or
chestra, the decorations and souvenirs
are attractions for those who cannot
understand the workings of the DEM
onstration chassis with slowly moving
engines and dissected portions to
show the internal working arrange
ments.
Prices Descending
Souvenirs and finely illustrated cata-
logs are given out by exhibitors in
such profusion as to load every visitor
and keep him studying for months
and arouse an interest in automobiles
that may finally tempt him on to pur-
chase when the price descends to his
level.
And prices for the big, fully
equipped six and eight cylinder cars
are getting down to figure where the
ordinary man can think more seriously
OF having a car, or at least a four
cylinder of modest size and price.
Many New Features
One of the striking features of prac-
tically all models this year is the left
side steering wheel, which has been
gradually coming into favor in recent
years. Other noticeable improvements
are the one-man top, which eliminates
the central post supports for the can
opy ana greatly IaclllLaLeS the raising
and lowering. also the "jiffy' curtains,
which can be set in a storm without
the ordinary confusion, delay and pro-
family unavoidable with the old form
of sectional curtains The general de-
sign is smoother than ever. with more
massive hoods over the engines and
easier curves merging into the ton
neaus. No sharp corners or protrud =
ing parts can be seen and the first
impression of the 1915 models is one
OF silent, massive strength.

pletion of its reconstruction work. In
cidentally he said he is always at lib
erty not only to read the company's
he wishes, but he has been offered
the services of meter-reader by the
company.
Portable Plan Best. Says DiehI
In speaking of the plan to-day Mr..
Diehl said. MY only reference to my
probable intention of submitting the
question of portable meters to council
applied to such time as the electric
company's reconstruction work is
completed. Personally, / think the
portable plan is the best as it permits
the investigation and accurate test
ing of any troble at any point on
the service, where as the permanently
located meters cover only the distinct
in which they are located. These may
show absolute efficiency all the time
whereas at other points on the system
there may be fluctuations.
"The electric company is now en-
gagged in reconstructing it's lines in
poles off the streets and il has gone
away beyond what it would have real
ly been required to do thus far. It
has really done splendidly by the
city, although the only question that
has often arisen in my mind is
Wnetner or not the company did not
limit itself to short time in which to
do the work 1t mapped out with the
appropriation at its disposal. 1t is al
most a physical impossibility to ac-
complish what it had planned in the
time it allowed itself"
'As for taking the matter into
Council my only intention had been
to advise the commissioners after the
electric company's reconstruction
work was finished as to whether it
would be more advantageous to the
consumers to adopt the portable me-
ters rather than the permanent ones,
in view of good results that we're
now obtaining under the portable sys-
TEN. The ordinance, however, pro-
vided for the installation of the per-
manent meters. The present plan
seems TO have been working out very
we'll and in fact so far as I know there
has been no complaint"
In discussing the question to-day C.
NJ. Kaltwasser, general manager OF the
electric company, said that the COM
pany has on hand half a dozen of
the permanent meters, but was only
awaiting the completion OF it's recon-
struction work before INSTALL & them.
The consumer is guarded in the mean
time by the portable meters. He said
the company has placed at Mr.. DiehTs
service a portable meter to take tests
wherever he wishes and have even
provided a reader to facilitate this if
the electrician so desires.

Latest British Order
Is Displeasing to U. S

Washington, March 16.-President
Wilson to-day declined to discuss the
British order in council, shutting of
trade with Germany because he had
not had an opportunity to go over the
official text as yet and had been only
informally advised of its terms, but he
indicated broadly that the unofficial
outline of it's contents was very dis
pleasing to the United States govern
ment.
