DIRECT WIRES ID NEIGHbORING TOWNS
After Sunday Call Bristol and
 SOutbingtOn With Ease

Beginning with the October issue of the telephone directory of the Southern. New England Telephone company, which goes into effect on Sunday, a new toll line service will be offered, where a number call is de- sired, between the New Britain and Bristol and New Britain and South ington exchanges Special toll wires have been installed between the eX- changes named to take care of this business which, because of the feature of speed, is expected to be most at tractive. It is in effect between a number Of other exchanges about the state and in every instance is working out in a highly satisfactory manner.
 The method of handling this busi- ness was explained at the local of flee of the telephone company as fol- lows: Let us suppose your telephone number is 821 and you wish S2-1 in Bristol. You will remove your re- ceiver from the hook and when the local operator answers say to her: Bristol S2-1 for S21.' You will then remain at your telephone just as on local call until the telephone in Bristol has been answered or the re- port has been given that they do not
 "So far as the subscriber is con- answer.
 cerned the call is just the same as local call except that the name of the exchange in which the desired tele- phone is located is prefixed to the number of that telephone and your own number given.
 'As soon as you give the local op- orator the proper information she plugs into one of the special jacks on the local switchboard in New Britain in which these direct 'A-B' wires, as they are called, to Bristol terminate. She is answered by local operator in Bristol to whom she repeats the num- Der you desire. The operator then completes the connection just as she would do on an ordinary local call.
 Tt will be seen that in this system of handling calls for numbers be- tween the exchanges given, it is not necessary for the subscriber to ask for toll line, as the toll line operators do not enter into the handling of the call.''

Government Extravaganza
(From the Washington Post)

When the Democratic chairman of
the House appropriations committee is
forced to rebuke his own party public
ly for extravaganza, IL is pretty near
time for that party to set about re-
forming itself.
The reason why appropriations have
grown to such an extent. as described
by Chairman. Fitzgerald, is plainly be-
cause there has been no centralization
of authority AS Mr. Fitzgerald says:
To make the work of the House
really effective there must be
radical change in the methods Of
handling appropriations. Many
times the present system has
been condemned as illogical and
unscientilic Real reform is inn
possible with eight committees

ton bills. while seven of the
committees have legislative iuris-
diction of the matters for which
they recommend appropriations.
