STATE TELEPHONE BUSINESS -.,4 SHOWS BIG INCREASE

The new telephone directories were distributed in Norwich Monday. There is now one telephone for every eight people in Connecticut. In some of the larger centerS of population the ratio is one to seven. .
 Facts obtained from the telephone company show conclusively that the eight people are using their one tele- phone to a wonderful extent, for more than 222,000.000 telephone calls were handled at the. central offices of the company during the year.
 Included in the 222.000.0o0 calls are S,000,000 toll line calls, which shows that a tremendous amount of inter state and intra state business is being transacted among manufacturers and merchants. About 160,000 telephones were used in passing this gigantic mass of conversation.
 To carry these millions of conver- sation, the Southern New England Telephone company uses about 500,000 miles of outside telephone wire If the mileage of wire in the central offices was included the figure would be much greater. Traversing the highways and the byways and reaching into every nook and corner of every town, will lage and hamlet, the half million miles of copper strand is all located within the 4S00 square miles of Connecticut
 If anyone tried to count all the tele- phone poles the Southern New Eng land Telephone company has as he travels on the trains, he would Sleep long and many times before the job was finished, for there are 250.000 of them There are more than 250, ,00C miles of the company's wire in cables winding their coppery way through conduits beneath city streets and state highways and above them on poles About S5 per cent. of the company's wires are in cables, aerial and under ground, so that the company is not in fact, yeluttering up the skyline witt | its wires.
 To serve it's subscribers the com pany, has 79 central offices. through | which the millions of calls referred tt l pass. Many of these central office! l lare located in modern and intensel,
 practical telephone buildings. whil, | others were once fine residences, nov l converted into homelil1e business l structures. If the reader has ever seer
