he would carry the State but his

belief that he would give Johnson

PHONO-CLOCK |S
 NEW INVENTION

Undoubtedly you have heard the
 story of how to be awakened gently
 by nothing less than the sweet music
 of a string orchestra or the tinkling
 chimes of Westminster Abbey in the
 distance, so specifieth those who know.
 Well. friends, here it is at last, and
 all you need is an alarm clock and a
 phonograph-puts us in mind of the
 chap who bought an automobile cap
 and all he needed then to complete his
 outfit was an automobile. But this is
 not as comical or tragical as it might
 at first seem. In all seriousness we
 have tried this stunt, and it works to perfection, and all that we have to say
 in the line of criticism of this inter-
 esting and much desired invention is that the world is looking for the
 genius who can put up this combi-
 nation on a nice little wooden base
 and sell it for a dollar or two. We remember a chap who worked night and day on such a contrivance, comprising a little three-inch home made phonograph disc record, with a "get-up message suitably inscribed on it, all of which can be fitted to a small shaft protruding through the top of the alarm clock. and then connected with the alarm spring mechanism within the clock. It worked. We have often wondered why some
 
 develop it to a logical commercial conclusion, which could be on the
 order of the talking doll'' which has a small. cheap phonograph fitted within it. It seems a capital idea. The alarm clock rests on the pho nograph cabinet and when the alarm
 rings in the morning it releases the 1 turn table brake and before you know l it, you are slowly coming back from l Sunderland to the tune of the "Anvi l Chorus from II Travatore, if you 1 have a strong mind, or to the Hitting | strains of the Merry Widow Waltz, l if you are temperamental.
 Or if you are one those hard sleep l ing hounds, put on "Shimmy With l Me"

Possibly some l long whiskered psychologist or student of mental phenomena may devise a | form of music which will serve not
 to awaken you, but to put you to sleep.

ELECTRICITY WINS
 IN TEST IF POWER

At Erie, Pa recently one hundred and fifty prominent railway men and engineers from this country and Canada witnessed one of the most re- markable and interesting trial tests of locomotives ever conducted in the history of railroading. These tests were made to demonstrate the masto- donic power and efficiency of the new model gearless electric passenger loco motive. Although several other tests were made before the engineers, the principal event was a test of brute strength between two powerful steam locomotives of the Mallet type, such as those the New York Central railroad uses to haul it's big limited trains, and this new electric giant of the rails, which was built especially to haul trains over the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul electrified mountain route in the western part of the United States.
 The greatest tug of war" one could wish to see took r1ace with thousands of horsepower let loose in the titanic struggle to prove the supremacy of the successful contestant. To Obviate the possibility of pulling out the draw bars of one or tho other of the locomo tiveS which would probably have oc- cured if they pulled in opposite direc- tions. the engines were caused to push against each other.
 At a given signal the two powerful steam locomotives started pushing the big electric engine ahead of them, the latter having no current on at the start Then the engineer in the cleo tric locomotive gradually turned on the current and the powerful motors re- sponded nobly. Tn the meanwhile the throttles on both steam locomo- tives were opened up to their full capacity.
 What was the surprise of the crowd to see the steam engines slowly but surely lose momentum and finally come to a complete stop. still with their throttles wide open, puffing and chugging as if under an extra ordinary strain. Then what appeared to be the impossible happened. and great cheer went up from the crowd as they saw the steam engines forced back ward first only by inches. but gradu- ally, as the full power of the electric was brought into play, the procession became almost a rout. and when the test ended a few minutes later the steam locomotives were moving stead iIv backward and the electric locomo- tive was declared the victor.
 Interesting and spectacular as this test was to the laymen present, it was

HELLO GIRLS TO BE ELIMINATED

The announcements made during re- cent months concerning proposed in stalIations of automatic telephone equipment in several of the larger cities of the United States have come with rather dramatic suddcnness to those who have been unacquainted with the trend of affairs in the telephone world. To men who have been inti mately associated with the telephone industry it has been no surprise at all, but rather the logical outcome Of the events of the past few years.
 Automatic telephony is by no means an innovation. The advantages of machine made connections have been recognized almost from the beginning of the telephone art, and it is now all most thirty years since the first pub lie automatic exchange was installed In the early years of the art, the apparatus was necessarily crude and it's adoption for public use gradual. At the time that it was first put into use, telephone service consisted of hardly anything more complex than simple party to- party calling and it was to relieve the operators of this burden that the automatic system was origi- nally conceived. The development of the telephone during the last thirty years has been phenomenal That the automatic system has met every re- quirement that has been demanded of
 
 the case fully. The automatic system has been developed to a point where it can do anything that can be done with manual system, and most things bet ter and more economically.
 The advantages accruing from the elimination of the operator alone are many and are too well known to need enlarging upon here. There are, how ever many other advantages not so generally known. Chief among these are: Absolute privacy; rapidity of con- nections; immediate signals indicating condition of called line; instantaneous release of connections upon replace ment of receiver; constant and uniform service day and night. To the operat- ing company also the system has de- cided economical advantages, as fol- lows: Saving of operators wages, training expenses and accommodations economy of space; economy in line construction; low maintenance charge and long life.
