ltOmatic Switchboard to Take Central's Place
Telephone Without Operator the
Product of Distorted Brain
of Chicago Undertaken

Haven, White Plains, West Seventy
second Street, New York, and Har-
mon-on- Hudson. A test was made
recently Of the speed at which con-
nections are made over this system.
Five numbers were selected at ran
dom, one from the area covered by
each of the five exchanges, and the
time taken in each case to get the
connection was set down. In four
out Of the five cases the person
called answered in fifteen seconds
or less, counting from the time the
receiver was removed from it's hook.
The fifth number called was a busy
wire. The "busy" signal was received
in less than four seconds! This is
seen to be an even more remarkable
performance when it is remembered
that two Of these calls, those to Har-
mon and White Plains, were to tele-
phones thirty and twenty-five miles
distant. The total time for making
the five calls was less than two
minutes.
Sitting in his office at Fiftieth
Street and Lexington Avenue, the
superintendent of telephones and
telegraphs of the New York Gen.
trail, A. B. Taylor, spoke with great
enthusiasm of the efficiency of the
automatic telephone.
Only -Four Seconds
"We allow four seconds for city
calls and six for those to out-of-town
points, counting from the time the
receiver is taken off the hook until
the call bell begins to operate" he
said. "And / know that the regular
telephone is never used by any of our
Offices for calls that can be made
over the automatic. This system
costs US, counting interest, upkeep,
depreciation and all other charges,
only $5.18 a month an instrument
| believe that the cost should be very
much lower an instrument for
larger installation
Perhaps the reader wonders
whether the automatic telephone is
equally applicable to the needs and
problems encountered in the ham
ding of the telephone business of
great city. The best answer to this
question lies in the announcement Of
the New York Telephone Company
that it will equip with the automatic
switchboard the three exchanges
which are to be opened next year.
1t is, according to officials of the
company, only after detailed tests of
the systems which have been in
actual operation for, in some cases,
as many as twelve years, in such
American cities as Los Angeles,
Cal; Akron, Ohio, and St. Paul,
Mimi, that they have decided to take
this step.
The system is used in more than

SEES BEST RESULTS FROM

The United States Department of

PROMOTION Of better farming are
spending considerable money in club
work among boys.

OF Dr.. Thomas f. Hunt, Dean and
Director of the College of Agricul-

The College of Agriculture did not,

which it expended as it did from the
"moNnt of money spent on bows clubs,

Sweden manufactures considerable

insufficient for the country's reouire-

About 100000 spindles and $4,000 looms
are employed in manufacturing the
coarser kinds of cottons. According

At the close of the market on Fri
day of last week the advance in the
industrial average exceeded any ad-
vance in a single movement for sew
eral years. Having gone on for three
it was also longer in duration
than the first phase Of any bull mar
ket in recent years. 1t has, however,
not been quite as long as several
upward swings since 1901. Sales of
1,774,750 shares on Friday made
that the most active day in two
years. The total trading for the
week established new high record
for any week in recent years. In the
two-hour session of Saturday trans
actions exceeded a million shares.
The sharp reactions of S and 10
points in the oil group on that day
revealed the dangerous technical
position into which certain stocks
have been forced; but one of the
most interesting phases Of the pres
ent movement has been that such
reactions, while occurring frequently
in special groups Of stocks in which
the upward movement has been
widest, have never extended to the
list as a whole.

According to the prior announce
ment Of the Secretary of the Treas
ury, the Victory Loan campaign,
just ended, is the last Of the great
popular government loan offerings.
There will doubtless be more bor-
rowing, in the form Of certificates of
indebtedness offered to the banks,
and these must presumably be
funded into bonds at a later date {;
but it is probable that Secretary
Glass does not expect these to be
great in amount, and believes they
can be handled in the old fashioned
way-that is, offered by the govern
ment to the banks and disposed of
by the banks to the public, or Of
fered under sealed bids. Or perhaps
the real investment demand for gov
ernment bonds which has been de-
veloped, educated and awakened in
the last two years, irrespective of
any patriotic element, may prove so
great that the government will offer
bonds in small denominations, so
that any future bond sale will par
take both of the old fashioned
methods and the methods Just de-
veloped.
