The Human Side of the Switchboard

With the addition
of hundreds Of new
switchboard posi-
tons to Detroit CEN
trail offices, it has
been necessary to in
crease the operating
force by hundreds of
young women. The
net increase in the
last eight months
alone has been eight
hundred operators.
Of course, skill in
telephone operating,
like skill in every
thing else, is a matter
of growth. 1t is &C
quired only through
many months of OK
perience in the CEN
trail office. But with
q first class training
department prepar-
ing capable young
women for the service
in advance, we be-
lieve you will agree
that we are doing
everything possible
TO give you the efh-
cient service you
desire.

HONOLULU, June 27. - The great
 lava lake in the active volcano of Kill quea, Hawaii, has risen to within fif-
 teen feet of It's rim, and has made possible a spectacular and daring ser les of experiments on the part of the scientists in charge of the famous ob- servatory. With the aid of an ingen. ious device, invented by Prof Jaggar. the temperature of the molten lake has been ascertained at varying depths. It is found that the surface temperature of the lake is higher than
 that at depth of sixteen feet. At this depth, however, and down to about twenty-six feet, the lava cools rapid ly. but again commences to rise in temperature from this point to the lake bottom. The work was carried out by climbing down the inner wall of the great crater to the actual mar gin of the lake, and plunging the ap- paratus into the boiling mass of super heated material. For many hours the scientists remained at their work un- der circumstances of the utmost peril

 Delegate Sulzer, as one of his first official acts upon coming to Washing ton, to represent the great common wealth of Alaska. took up with Secre- tary Daniels the problem of utilizing Alaska's coal for naval purposes. He was assured by the secretary of the navy that the navy was struck with the possibility of using coal from the Alaska fields and had already figured to large extent upon it.
 We are ready to use 250,000 tons of Alaskan coal year, and we will contract for that amount" Delegate | Sulzer was told.
