AUDIBLE RINGING SIGNAL
Is NOW REING USED


Noticed the unusual sound on the tel
ephone wires. after placing a call? That
is the new system of audible ringing signal
which plainly informs you that the num-
Der you asked for is being called. This
system has been tried in other cities and
having been found satifctory to subscribe
ers and to the telephone company. has
been applied to the telephone service il
this city.
The change from the old method of sig
nal ring to audible ringing" as the
telephone folks e. 1t. removes all doubt
on the part of the calling party that the
number desired IS being rung. BY an in
genuous arrangement within the switch
boards at the Centrals office, the ringing
signal is returned to the caller, softly, of
cdlrse, but Clearly There is then no coed
reason for the caller to beiev that the
operator is asleep at the switchboard or
otherwise neglectfn1 of her duIty.
There is an APP ~reciable saving Of time
for operators under the audible ringing
system too, which should be reflected in
| better telephone service.
Much time has been given, in the past
| to the supervision of calls to which there
were not prompt answers. 1t took time
to supervise. these Don't Answer" calls
But audible ringing practically eliminates
Inc necessity LOT SlrltI'NlslIls CdllS now ulle
operators receives the call and rings the
number desired The calling party knows
she Is ringing because the ringing sigma
| is heard.
The calling signal Is continued ut reg
ular intervals for approximately two min
utes, unless, of course, then called party
answers before the lapse of that time
If. however there is no answer at The
end, of two minutes. the operator gives g

Interesting and instructive was the
illustrated lecture on Jerusalem and the
Holy Land given Sunday evening at the
Central Baptist church by Prem Chand
Lal of India, now a student at Amherst
college. Mr.. Lal was one of the guides
under General Allenby during the world
war and was with General Allenby when
he entered Jerusalem with his army His
wide experience in the Holy Land and his
familiarity with the customs and tradi-
tons of that far-away land have adj
mirably fitted him as a lecturer on Pales-
tine. The audience was unusually large
despite the unfayorable weather.
The devotional part of the service was
led by Rev. David A. Pitt. D. D., pastor
of the church. DR.. Pitt introduced the
lecturer who spoke for a little over an
hour. A wonderful collection of stereop-
ticon Slides about half a hundred in
number, picturing famed Bible scenes
and the remarkable architecture found In
Jerusalem, were thrown on the screen.
Mr.. Lal gave detailed descriptions of
each slide and told number of stories
touching on the beliefs of the people
found in that land. Among. the slides
shown were scenes of Jerusalem taken
from the Mount of Olives, several of the
gates to the city, pictures of the old and
new Jerusalem, the religious buildings
and other houses Of worship. street
scenes. etc. Scenes Of Bethlehem were
also showed
Mr.. Lal. in addition to speaking at the
| evening service, addressed the Sunday
school and City Bible class for men al
noon and the B. Y. P. y. meeting at $50

SECOND HONORABLE MENTION
ESSAY BY NORWICH BOZ

Daniel GRECO of Norwich received the
second honorable mention in the prize
essay contest conducted by the Chelsea
Savings bank in which boys and girls
wrote essays on why Boys and Girls
Should Have Bank Accounts and Save
Money" His essay was as follows:
Boys and girls should save so that
they may have more money to use when
they grow older. If they save part of the
money they get and take it to the bank,
later it will increase when interest is
added.
When they grow olc-r and wish tc go
away to school. it y u help - lay tuition
or pay for anything else that may be
needed
1 am starting to save SO I can go to
college I think all boys and girls should
to help them to be able to accomplish
their ambition when they grow older.
Extravag ance rots character. Train
yourself away from it. On the other
hand, the habit of saving money not only
strengthens the will but also brightens
ones energies. If you wish to be sure
that you are beginning right, begin te
save.
