digit, but prolonged pauses do not
throw the mechanism out Of its
proper operation.
The automatic telephone has yet
another accomplishment, that of
cashier and bookkeeper. When a
call is to be made over the auto
matte telephone from a public tele-
phone booth number Of nickels or
coins of a larger denomination are
placed in hopper provided for that
purpose. The call is then made as
described above. Only when the
receiver at the other end of the
line is taken off its hook does the
machine take the first coin, or
coins, the amount taken in every
case being exactly that charged for
the initial period of the call. If the
conversation lasts longer than this
period the machine automatically
takes the money required as it be-
comes due, and when the receiver
is put back on it's hook such change
as may remain in excess of what is
charged for the call falls into
tray at the bottom of the machine,
where it may be recovered by the
person making the call. Should the
conversation be longer than can be
paid for by the money originally de-
posted, the connection will not be
broken, but the instrument ceases to

the line is in use. When the con-

lines are instantly rendered ready
for further calls by returning the
receivers to their hooks.
Not only does this system elimi-
nate the mistakes due to the falli-
bility Of human operator, for the
machine must, of necessity, obey the
electrical impulse sent to it by the
calling device, but it also assures
you of perfect privacy in your tele-
phone conversation. Your connec-
ton is made by a machine, which,
though what it accomplishes may
seem to imply power Of reasoning,
will display no curious interest in
your affairs. A connection, once
made, is locked beyond the possi-
bility of being cut in upon by
third party. Give" and mine"
sound much the same over the tele-
phone, as most of us have learned
to our sorrow, but one must be
Blind to mistake for 8 as they
are printed on the dial. Thus the
automatic-calling device eliminates
the possibility, which is always
present in old style exchanges, of
getting a wrong number which
sounds like the one desired.
For All Temperan,ents
This wonderful little machine
accommodates itself at once to the
temperament of the user. A nerv-
Gus, high strung person will often
be irritated by an operator who
drawls "N-u-m- b-e-r," while timid
person is quite likely to become
confused when asked the same ques-
ton in brisk, snappy manner. But
it is entirely permissible to operate
the dial Of the automatic telephone
rs quickly or slowly as the fancy Of
the user dictates. The switches are
so arranged that a scarcely per-
ceptible time is required for their
working between the dialing of each

fined to this country. During the
two years preceding the postaliza-
tion CT the telephone system in
Great Britain the government of
that country conducted an eXhaus-
tive survey Of the whole telephone
field. According to officials of the
Automatic Electric Compan
makers of the automatic telephone,
every type of apparatus was studied
by government engineers, who Wis
tied the plants where the different
kinds Of equipment were made.
AS a result of their studies the
engineers recommended to their
government that automatic tele-
phony be tried out under British
conditions. These tests proved so
successful that the British Postmas-
ter General has announced that
other areas will be converted from
manual to automatic operation as
promptly as possible.
After somewhat similar govern
ment tests the automatic telephone
has been installed and is now serv-
ing subscribers in many of the
cities of France, Canada, Australia,
New Zealand and India.
A Simple Device
The calling device of the auto
matte telephone is really very sim
pie. Attached to the base of the
telephone instrument, which is in
every other respect the same as
those in use to-day, is a disk about
three inches in diameter, near the
circumference of which are printed
all the numerals. Over this sta
tionary disk is another which is
arranged to rotate upon it's axis
and which has a series of holes

What is your object? What are
you aiming at? To charm, to fas-

to say, clientele? Are you poet?
Or are you merely a dealer in

to understand me, for you are
young. A poet is rare product.
