TELEPHONE SERVICE AT AVER
Big Job Accomplished - House Leased
for Operators.

One Of the big jobs incident to the
construction of Camp Devens at Aver,
Mass, where the New England draft is
mohlllzed, was the providing Of ade-
quate telephone service. This meant
not only the building Of a complete cen
tral office within the camp, with switch
board facilities for nine operators, but
the doubling of the size of the Aver cen
tral office and an increase Of 300 per cent
III its switchboard facilities In add
ton, hundreds of miles of toll circuits
had to be added in order to permit
prompt communication between the
camp with its 10000 men-a stable citv
IN itself-and all points Of the compass
President Spalding of the New Eng
land Telephone < Telegraph company
visited Camp Deyens the other dav when
the new switchboards were cut into serv-
ice, and surveyed the job completed bv
his men and taken up by his operating
force. He pronounced it complete
eXemplifcation Of the company : slogan,
Service First =
One of the biggest problems that the
company had to solve was to find accom-
modations for about so additional
switchboard operators required to handle
=
to the establishment of the cantonment.
No suitable provision for boarding and
lodging these young women could be
found IN the town, so the company itself
undertook the task and leased a large
house on the top of hill overlooking
Groton, about half a mile from the cen
ter Of Aver. In addition, a very attrac-
tive bungalow was erected. A woman Of
WIDE experience in handling girls has
been established as a .'house mother. ;
several cooks provide excellent meals
and food and lodging are provided with
out charge to recipients
The new operators who are serving
both at Camp Devens and at the enlarged
central office III the town are volunteers
looming from many New England cities
and towns, who periodically sought this
| opportunity for special service to the
government, the public and the company.
The work is eXacting because the canton
ment is not yet fully organized and
many changes of telephone locations
are constantly being made, but they are
happy in the knowledge that they are
doing their bit, and in feeling that
their welfare is so completely provided
for by the company.

Coming Exposition of Chemical Indus

NEW YORK, Sept. 17.-Members of
the Council Of National Defence at
Washington are much interested in the
third exposition of chemical industries
which is to take place in Grand Central
palace, New York, the week of Sept.
pa. Several members of the National
Research Council are to meet at the ex-
position for several DAYS during the
week and attend some of the confer
ences at which numerous vital prob
lens directly related to war production
will be discussed All of the leading
chemical associations are cooperating
to make this exposition, which will have
$50 exhibits on three floors, one of the
most remarkable gatherings in history
The two previous annual shows were
conducted at times when there was
plenty of talk of preparedness but
no great fear of the United States be-
coming involved in the war. The ap-
preaching exposition comes at time
when the various industries are ascer-
tanning just what is required OF our
country s national resources ''to make
the world safe for democracy.
Among the societies cooperating are
the American Chemical society, the
| American Electro Chemical society, the

others. The Bureau of Commercial

GREAT INCREASE IN

The following facts concerning salaries

only few hundred thousand dollars,
the Red Cross employed at its mead
quarters in Washington IS paid officers
and employees of whom % received sal
aries of from $4,000 to $500
At the present time, with the Red
Cross on a war footing, with $500 chap
ters to administer, 3,621,011 members
and a war fund of 100000, 900 pledged,
Red Cross national headquarters employs
624 paid officers and employees, of whom
46 are paid salaries of $4,000 wear or
more.

ceive salaries of from $4,000 to $4,000
a year The highest added salary since
war was declared is $4,000. The high
est paid official in the national organ

the staff on peace basis.
/ Of those receiving less than $1,000
a year, 40 now receive salaries of over a
hundred dollars a month There are IS
clerks being paid one hundred dollars
while clerks and messengers receiving
