second floor, facing Main street, but
the old office in the American building
will be used until the latter part of
this week.
When the cutover first was made the
four toll sections of the switchboard
had not been put in place as it had been
decided to use the same toll sections
as were in use in the American build
ing 1t was necessary. therefore, to
handle the toll calls on the local sec
tions until the toll sections could be
transferred from one building to the
other, which was done during the night,
The old switchboard will be used else
where.
The telephone exchange was moved
from Crosby block to the American
building headquarters in 1907, the cut
over from the old ''ring up and
''ring off, system to the present fash
system being made June %. At that
time sos subscribers were receiving
service through the Brattleboro ex-
change, or about six and a half times
as many as were served when the To-
cal exchange was taken over by the
, New England Telephone Co. in 1892
from the Chlds brothers, by whom it
was established in 1878. The equip
ment, all of which was new, included
a switchboard with facilities for Civ
ing service to something like 400 sub
scribers. but this has been enlarged
from time to time so that at present
there are about 7S0 lines with approx
mateIy 2,050 subscribers stations.
There also are 10 toll circuits.
At the time the new switchboard was
installed installed in the American
building headquarters there were posi-
tions for five operators and the number
later was increased to 10. The enlarged
| board in the new quarters has posi-
tions for II operators. In 1907 the To-
cal office handled an average of nearly
3,400 local calls and $50 toll calls each
day. At the present time the number
of loci calls is from 5000 to 10000 a
| day and the toll calls about $50 day.
When the exchange was moved in
| 1907 the quarters included four rooms
| on the second floor of the American
building, the manager S office, the ter
minal ROOM the switchboard room and
| the operators retiring room. In Feb
ruarv, 1913. the business had grown to
such an extent that it was necessary

ROBBERS ESCAPE
Springfield Officers Have Given UP
Search In Their City-Camp-

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Aug 23.-Po-
lice officials have concluded that the five
bandits who robbed the Portland, Conn,
National hank and fled through Con-
necticut to this city Saturday. finally
abandoning their automobile on Plum
tree road, have escaped the police net
and left this part of the state. The 80
police and many civilians engaged in
beating up the country through the Six
teen Acres section have been called off
and only patrols on the roads in the sec
ton have been maintained
Campers at Watershops Pond, which
borders the country in which the
search was conducted, literally Slept on
their arms Saturday night Policemen,
who were rushed to the scene as they
came off other duty shifts, reported back
20 the field headquarters that had been
established, weary and covered with mud
and dirt after an all-night vigil. Several
narrow escapes were reported of mem
bers of the posses falling into brooks and
mud holes, over tree roots and down
rocky paths.
Not trace of the five men was found.
Numerous reports that the men had
been seen were run down by the police.
Watchers near the Breck farm re-
ported that an automobile with a New
York registry was seen going up and
down the road, and that after it disap-
peared two men were seen to come ont
of the woods. When the watchers went
to halt them they again plunged into
the woods, it was reported to the police.

The Paradise of Fools.

There country ever calling
For the souls of men to come;
In a language more enthralling
Than the sound of fife and drum;
To our sires of old it beekOned-
TO our children in their schools
And the name thereof is reckoned
As the Paradise of Fools!
From the gray-beard to the stripping,
Every man is lured thereto;
For the vista changes ever,
And the charm is always new;
And the spell of youth is constant,
And the ardor never cools,
SO illusion fond assures US
In the Paradise of Fools!
There the error of wrong doing,
Leaves no imprint, harsh and deep;
There the magic of the Lotus
Lulls the tortured soul to sleep;
There the soul is chafed and fettered
By no rude restrictive rules,
And the blessings vanish never,
In the Paradise of Foolsl
There is beauty-there is treasure
In that strange, enchanted land;
And men reap the fullest measure
Of their longings out of hand;
Though you find it nowhere written
In the language of the schools,
There s a path forever Htten
To the Paradise of Fools!
But beware the mirage cleaning,
As you fare Life 3 journey through
There is danger in the dreaming,
1t is deadly sin to do;
For behind their make angelic,
Hide the horrid jeers of ghouls,
To defraud yod-to despoil you
In the Paradise of Fools!
You will find Desire your master,
And yourselves but sorry tools,
If you choose to court disaster,
In the Paradise of Fools.
And you need not blame the Nation,
Nor the Power that ever rules,
If you build your habitation
In the Paradise of Fools.

He said the help of the United States
was needed to Christianize Japan and the
Far East In the 18th century there
were many Christians in Japan, resulting
from the work of a missionary, but UNI
fortunately they revolted against the
government and had to be put down.
The government shut the doors of Japan
to the work of Christianity after that,
and only about half century ago did
the work of Christianity get a new start
there. Since then the work has grown,
making over 100000 converts. The
speaker thought the results were all that
could be expected, but he hoped to see
the work grow more rapidly.

tenn, Inc, of which he also was president,
will be one of the subjects which John +.

Co. were curtaied during the investiga-
ton OF. Charles Ponzi's affairs after sew
eraI hundred thousand dollars had been
received from investors who were lured
by promise of 100 per cent in six
months"
Mr. Hanigan said today that he would
appoint an auditor to examine the Old
Colony Foreign Exchange Co.'S books and
determine whether transfers of moneys
had been made to other companies in
which the company's officers were inter-
ested. Three of those officers. President
Brightwell, Raymond Meyers and Fred
Meyers, are still in jail, held on charges
of larceny in default of $4,000 bonds
each.
AT present" said Mr.. Hanigan, Il do
not know how much money was trans
ferred by Brightwell as president and
treasurer of the Old Colony Foreign Ex-
chagne Co. to the Longton Oil and Gas
System, Inc, of which Brightwell was
also president, but this phase of the
examination will be gone Into thor
oughly. One check in my possession for

the Old Colony concern and made out to

dorsed by him as head of the latter COM
pany."
