Coblenz-At the time the Ameri-
cans began Withdrawing from Ger
many the United States army had per-
fected one of the finest telephone sys-
TENS in Europe. From the headquar-
tiers of the third army in COblenz fifty
long distance lines had been set up
and it is possible for the command
ing general to sit in his Office and
talk with American officers in London,
Berlin, Vienna, Rotterdam, Brussels,
Antwerp, Paris and various other
European points.
The army of occupation has tele-
phone system closely resembling the
best commercial system in the United
States. On the top floor of the head
quarters building in Coblenz a nine
position switchboard was installed
soon after the Americans reached the
Rhine. Scattered throughout Coblenz
are twenty private branch exchanges
Of the various units of headquarters.
Connected to this system are more
than four hundred Subscribers" in
addition to the fifty long-distance
lines.
10000 Miles Of Wire.
Within the German occupied area
there has been established by the sig
nal corps under the direction of Col.
Parker Hit, chief signal officer, a net
work of wires connecting the various
units of the third army. Direct lines
connect with all the corps and divi-
sions, approximately 10000 miles Of
wire being in service.
This extensive plant has not. how
ever, been built by the third army, but
consists almost altogether of the Ger
man. lines taken over by the signal
corps and so arranged as to meet the
needs of the army. Sufficient circuits
were left, however, for the civilian
population to carry on their business.
More than $4,000 calls are register
ed daily on the Coblenz switchboard.
With the establishment of an ex-
| change in COblenz it was necessary
to employ operators who could speak
English, French and German. The fif-
teen operators on duty in Coblenz are
all members of the women's telephone
corps and have been in the service
more than year. The chief opera
tor, Miss Helen Cook, was a former
employee of the American Telephone
and Telegraph company of New York
Previous to joining the American ex.
peditionary force Miss Cook spent six
years as instructor for the Bell sys'
tenn in offices in Chicago, Minneapolis
Omaha, Cleveland, Detroit and Mem
phis.
"DoodIebuo" Code Name.
The word "Doodlebug" is the code
name of the third army switchboard
in Coblenz, the corps and divisions nj
so retaining the code names that were
assigned them during the war. On thu
back of twenty-page telephone di
rectory issued by the third army thu
artists conception of "doodlebug'
has been reproduced in the shape of
bug made up of a combination O
sabres. rifles and an aerial bomb.
All the apparatus, including switch
boards, telephone instruments, and, II
fact, everything excepting the wires
is of American manufacture and i
to be taken out when the American
in force say good-by to the Rhine AM
start for France and home.

Ancient Admonition,

Thoughtless persons who insist on
talking during musical performance,
marring the pleasure of those who
would listen to the music, we have al
ways with us. It. is curious to note
that this particular pest was already
extant more than 1900 years ago. In
the ancient book "Ecclesasticus" we
read, "Speak, thou that art the elder,
for it becometh thee, but with sound
Judgment, and hinder not music"

HEAR OF FOREST FIRES
 NEAR LOS ANGELES

Los Angeles pa pers of September 24 received here contains pictures of the terrible forest fires that were sweep ing the hills northeast of the city, burning over 100000 acres in the na- tional forest reserve and 30 900 acres in two canyons which contained many summer cottages. The belt of fire was 80 miles long and was making such fast progress that it was thought every available man in some of the counties would be called out as fire fighters.
 Deer. coyotes. mountain lions, rat tie snakes, squirrels quail and all sorts of song birds were driven out of the canyons and were so cowed by the terror of the fire that they had no fear apparently of human beings.
 Hot. flying cinders were putting buildings many miles away in peril and thousands of families were spend ing the time keeping the roofs f their homes wet
 Several Norwich families with re1a- tives in Los Angeles have had let ters from them this week stating that their homes had been saved though roofs and yards were covered with the drifting ashes

were earning S10 a week or less. Two thirds were earning over s15 a week. The average for the 344 men was s21.37 (the average weekly earnings of all patients, both men and women, at Otisville, New York City's sanatorium, was but s9.S1). An allowance of S9 week for women doing their own housework was included in this aver age
 The following statement by Dr. Ly- man, regarding the perjudice of fellow workmen, is interesting and sifnif- cant:
 We asked each of our old patients this question, Has the fact that you have been at a sanatorium given rise to any unpleasant experiences with your neighborS or fellow employees ?'- Six hundred and thirty three answer ed this question; 300 stated that they had never had any trouble of the kind and quite few of the 43 who reported such experiences stated that they had been Of q very trivial character; in other words, the facts as shown from these letters are quite different from the general conception of the situation.
 unfortunately, silimar question relative to employees was not asked"
 Commenting on Dr. Lyman's report and the general situation, the Federal Board says in special pamphlet which has just been issued:
 The report emphasizes the neces- sity of a more highly developed follow
 
 results from the patient, and to aid in amassing data on housing, living and industrial conditions, to control tuber- culosis, the chief determining factors of the incidence of disease in that To- cality-the problem varying with the locality
 The problem of the post-sana torium life of arrested cases of tuberculosis which has confronted civil authorities now confronts the Army and the Fed eral Board for Vocational Education
 The anxiety of tuberculosis soldiers to leave Army sanatOria has undoubt- edly led to the premature discharge of many men. Some o-called ''arrested cases have been transferred to conVa Iescent attachments of one or another of the camps as returned to duty cases, from which they are soon dis charged Heretofore these men have not been surveyed by the vocational advisers, nor in many cases had pointed out to the them the oppor- tunities for training and placement which the government offers.
 If some extra governmental agency develops such a shop or shops for the vocational training of discharged tub erculous soldiers, the Federal Beard can cooperate with such an agency by providing certain equipment and in structors. The National Tuberculos- Is Association is negotiating with one of its constituent agencies for the es- tabHShment of shop and has agreed to subs1dize the project up to the sum Of S1O, 900. It is hoped that other cities will also develop shops adapted to their particular location and needs

HOW SANATORIA PATIENTS
 FIND WORLD TREATS THEM

Efforts are being made by the State Tuberculosis Commission to coop crate with the Federal Board of Vo- cational Education in inveStiga tion the physical, industrial and social condi- tions of patients who have undergone ticut Sanatoria and who have been discharged in restored health. AL though a, large percen tage of the cases in state SanatOr1a are advanced in pro- gress of the disease at the time of ad- mission the santoria records show that with the disease arrested and many re- turn to their vocational duties and complete their life work
 Researches which are being made by the Federal Board have thrown light on the question of after sanatorium treat tment of patients in several other states. One of the most extended in vestigations made relates the results reported by Dr. David R. Lyman, head of the Gaylord Farm Sanatorium at Wallingford His investigations, GOV ering a period of years, show that "at work at the Gaylord Farm Sanatorium, 1t was found that about 22 of their 1 112 cases had been lost track of. While $400,4T had been expended on the institution (including per cent. interest on construction and equip ready earned $1,33s, oOa, or almost $S40 60 more than the entire expedf ture in their behalf.
