The Needlework Guild.

The Bethesda Branch of the Needlework
Guild Of America held its first annual
meeting at the home of Mrs. Clifford Seibel.
in Oak Place, Mrs. Owens presiding. The
collection of new garments and household
linens, given two each by the various
members, was on display and numbered
233.
Mrs. Josiah Jones. through whose as
sistance the branch was organized, told
interestingly of the founding of such a
charity in England by Lady Wolverton
The idea was brought to America by a
Philadelphia woman in 1885, and shortly
thereafter The Needlework Guild of Amer
lea" was founded. 1t is non-sectarian,
and works independently of other oreani-
cations. except in cases of local, national
or International disaster. in which circum-
stance only, it joins with the American
Red Cross for instant relief. Mrs. Jones
stated that there are now SIT branches
in 80 States. and in 1928, nearly two mil
lion garments were donated. The only
requirement for membership is the giving
of two new articles yearly. or of sum Of
money, amount unspecified, there being
one money member in each directorate Of
twelve members.
In accordance with regulations of the
national guild. each branch is allowed to
bestow its gifts upon its own chosen worthy
cause. In this instance. the Montgomery
County Social Service League was the
beneficiary, with the exception Of few
hospital shirts. which were donated to the
Montgomery County General Hospital.
During the social hour tea was served
and musical program was rendered by
Mrs. Robert Simmons. assisted by Mrs
Claude Hyson and Mrs. Frank Wilmot.
The Bethesda Branch was organized
March 20, 1924. and now has nine direc-
tors and near one hundred members. The
officers are: President, Mrs. VIM. Owens
president, Mrs. Edwin Bosworth; Sec
rotary, Mrs. c. W. Seibel; treasurer. Mrs
John Newell.

SAVE TELEPHONE
USERS MILLIONS
IN ANNUAL COST
Eight Improvements Resulting From
Research Cut Expense $7o,ooo,ooo
Year.

Research and development studies
In the telephone industry are con.
stantly bringing forth new methods
and inventions which, in addition to
Improving the service. save telephone
subscribers many million dollars pei
year. A conservative estimate Of the
rawlings resulting from only eight of
the many new developments adopted
within the last few years indicates
that an economy in initial investment
Of $465. 700 900, and an annual saving
of $7O,000000 have been made pos.
sible by these eight devices alone.
This represents saving of more than
SAGE every year for every telephone
served by the Bell System.
For example, among the many i'm.
prOyements which have been worked
out to develop long distance telephony,
there is one that has made possible
especially great economies in the con.
struction OF long distance lines. This
is the telephone repeater, which picks
up the speech currents at intervals
along the line, when they have be
come weakened by distance, restores
their volume and sends them along
with renewed strength. BY the aid of
this apparatus 1t is possible to use a
smaller wire on long distance lines
than otherwise would be necessary,
and during the first six years Of its
use the device effected an initial say.
ing in line construction Of nearly
100000, 900 In 1921 alone, nearly
S13O00,0OO was saved to the telephone
users of the United States In interest,
