More than half of the S446,O00 in
Liberty bonds stolen by bandits on

tives of the brokerage house Of e. r.

TWENTY million dollars in
nickels were dropped in the
slots of pay station telephones
throughout the United States
during the first ten months of
1920, according to an estimate
by A. E. Berry, president of the
Chesapeake and Ohio Telephone
Company.
This, Mr.. Berry said, was an
increase of $2,700,000 over the
corresponding period of the year
before. To illustrate graphically
the $2O,OO0,000 expenditure he
explained that the nickels, If
placed edge to edge, would form
a line from New York city to
San Francisco and then extend
thousand miles into the Pacific
Ocean.
Long distance telephone busi-
ness increased S20,000,000 dur
ing the ten months period, Mr..
Berry added. The cost of tele-
phoning operation also increased.
