LARGEST PRIVATE TELEPHONE SYSTEM,
in POINT OF MILEAGE AND AREA, in
UNITED STATES, LOCATED in new JERSEY

Cutting comfortably in an armchair
talking to your wife a hundred
miles away isn't anything to get ex-
cited about Well, it might be-but
not the telephone part of it, anyway.
When our great-grandfather sent
geetings home from distance, letters
were carried on horseback. The rail
road later made a speedier method of
communication; then came the tele-
graph and finally the telephone. One
the car, engage bootleggers, borrow
money, run for office and be elected or,
appointed to almost anything largely
by telephone.
Almost every one of us has a tele-
phone; almost every business house
several; every large corporation,
many. Spreading over New Jersey,
in point of mileage and area, is the
largest private telephone system in
the United States, on the authority
of the telephone people themselves.
This gigantic private telephone sys-
tenn is the means employed by the op-
Grating subsidiary companies of Public
Service Corporation of New Jersey to
keep unified it's many activities. 1t
consists OF thirty-five exchanges tap
ping all the principal operating and
commercial centers throughout the
state, from Ridgewood on the north
to National Park on the south. They
are connected by means of tie lines
used exclusively for the transaction
of company and inter-company busi-
ness. The system is SO laid out that
rapid communication is assured in
spite of almost any, emergency.
Quick Service to Camden
For instance, Camden or Philadel-
phia can be reached from any part of
the system in a few seconds, in
fraction of the time that would be
taken by using an outside line. There
are two direct company lines to Cam
den and two to New York, and others
are being planned.
There are approximately 1000 ex-
tension stations in the system and
about $50 central Office trunk lines,
with seventy-five tie lines, of total
mileage, of nearly 1000 miles.
The main exchange is in Public
Service Terminal, Newark From this
point radiate all connecting tie lines
to various outlying exchanges located
in important commercial and operat-
ing centers. There are 500 extensions
in the main Office, including the build
ing and nearby operating Offices. The
four exchanges in Jersey City have a
total of 142 extensions, and the ex-
change extensions in other important
places are: Camden, 70; Paterson, TO-
Elizabeth, so; Hackensack, SO; Tren-
ton, As; Passaic, 35; Plainfield, 30

Reasons for Cooking,

There are three chief purposes o
cooking. The first is to change tn
mechanical condition so that the d.
gestive juices can act upon the fbot
more freely. Heating often change
the structure of food materials yer
decidedly, so that they are more easi
maSticated and more easily ant
thoroughly digested. The second is
make it more appetizing by improvin.
the appearance or flavor, or both
Food which is attractive quickens th'
flow of saliva and other digestive juice
and thus digestion is aided. The thir
is to kill by heat any disease germs
parasites and other dangerous organ
isms 1t may contain. This is often
very important matter, and applies
both animal and vegetable foods.

Staff of Eighty-nine
The operating staff consists OF
eighty-nine, and there is an average
daily business of $4,000 calls a day,
with as many as $4,000 calls on days
when business is exceptionally heavy
or when there are abnormal emergen-
'cy calls.
This telephone system is so designed
that the inter-company business is
handled exclusively on their own lines,
it being necessary to use outside lines
only when calling customers or con-
Germs with whom one of the compa-
nies may have dealings, or when call
ing officials or employees on their resi-
dence phones.
The rapidly increasing \gas and
electric business has necessitated the
installation of separate board in the
home office with an operator especial
ly versed in the details of the CONNER
cial business of those departments. A
great part of the negotiations relating
to new service to customers is trans
acted by telephone, thus making con-
stant additions and requirements nee
essary.
: AT the Newark Exchange, in order to
meet requirements in the proposed ad
dition to the Terminal Building, and
to relieve the present congestion in
the service, provisions are being made
for fourteen operators where there are
now eight. There is also rest room
here for the periodic relief of opera
tors upon whom the strain becomes
unusually heavy at times.
Super-Power Station Plans
At Essex Generation Station at
Point No Point, where extensive con-
struction operations are in progress,
there is being provided a new auto
matte dial telephone system, and
plans are under way for complete tele-
phone facilities for the new super
power plant to be built at Kearny.
A number of additions and changes
were made during the past year. At
Orange and Paterson the exchanges
were enlarged, and at Palisade avenue,
Jersey City; at Trenton and Engle-
wood, modern type exchanges have su-
perseded the old ones. Hackensack Ex-
change will soon be equipped with a
second unit, and at Elizabeth there
has been installed a new two position
exchange. At Plainfieh the capacity
has also been increased.
There is being established at Bur-
lington a general exchange with con-
Meeting tie lines to Camden and Tren-
ton, and at Cliffside, Edgewater and
Fort Lee there have been placed two
separate exchanges for the Railway
and Electric Operating Departments.
At the Irvington Service Building, just
over the Newark City Line, two inde-
pendent exchanges for the AUTOMOBILE
Maintenance Department and Testing
Laboratory have been installed.
