Discoveries That
Marked Growth of
The Telephone Art

In the two score and more years Of
telephone history the telephone ongi-
neors have overcome one by one the
barriers Of speech tran mission From
the very beginning the progress Of
the art has been marked by epoch
making advances due 20 inventions
and improvement in apparatus and
equipment Some Of the more not
table achievement are as follows;
The development of Che switchboard
of telephones would be possible, which
was the beginning Of the telephone
exchange system.
The discovery Of the process Of
hardening copper wire and ITS appli-
cation 90 telephone circuits. imprOv-
ing Transmission and making long
distance telephone circuits possible
The substitution Of pair " wires
Tor a single wire a grounded circuit,
greatly improving transmission by
contact with The earth.
The multiple switchboard making
possible the expansion of the cy-
chnngo system by providing positions
Of The switchboard Fer . iarga num-
her Of operators, eliminating the dis
urhances caused by each answering
the calls on q certain number OF sub
s-ribers lines. and because Of The dup
hcation Of an the subscribers line
terminals az each section Of the
switchboard, each operator able %
connect the calling subs riber with
any other subscriber in the same CEN
trail office, be they one thousand or
ten thousand.
The development ~ the under
ground cable, enabling the removal
Of pole lines from the main thorough
fares OF the large cities, and the
aerial cable reducing the number Of
cross arms and the size Of the poles.
The transposition Of telephone cir
cults, thereby minimizing the inter
ference with other telephone circuits
and Of high power electric light and
feed wires.
The loading coil, which placed at
regular intervals in the long distance
losses and permits much longer talk
ing distance.
The phantom circuit. utilizing two
telephone circuits 20 create n third
independent circuit.
Long distance cable Of new type
having a range % one thousand miles
has been installed and experiments
have shown that speech may be trans
mitted as well through two thousand

IL that a reasonable way to get at
her efficiency at any period Of life
are still left to her. Thus, ship five
years old will be two-thirds eff
cient; a ship ten years old one-third
efficient, and so on.
Under this assumption he takes
ton displacement as the means Of
comparison between ship and ship
and between navy and navy, assum-
ing that in the long run this is about
the only just and fair means Of COM
parison. Under his combined scheme
a iO,O0O-ton battleship just commits
stoned Is rcckoned at 10000 tons. Al
the end Of fifteen years il is reck-
oned as zero. In between those eX-
tremes the tonnage of the vessel Is
reckoncd in proportion to its effi-
cheney as already explained. Thus
at the end Of five years, with two
thirds efficiency, its efficiency ton
mage Is counted as two-thirds Of 49,
600 tons. and so on. On this basis he
Is able to reckon the standing Of the
United States, England and japan in
1920. choosing that date because Of
the number Of big vessels now plan

In 1920 the battleship standing Of
the navies will be in this order (total
displacement unmodified by age de-
preciation): United States 10000
tons. Great Britain 54S,2i0, japan
PIP. 800. At the same time, by max
ing the deductions for age deprecia-
tions, the displacement efficiency
ranks as follows: United States 554,-
asa tons, Japan 1875, 939, Great Bri-
tain 192,4S4. No ships armed with
guns of less than 1875 caliber are in
cnded in this comparison. II Mr..
Walkers basis Of comparison is cor

Packard Single Six

The present high cost OF living In

Roland Sausr, local distributor Of

the assurance hat resale value OF
the car will show a far smaller de-
probation than is the case with most
automobiles. so that the actual cost
per year OF owning and driving d
