PLANS FOR CABLE
EXTENSION WORK

When the 1926 construction pro-
gram of the Long Lines Department,
American Telephone and Telegraph
Company, was announced recently
1t was noted that long distance cable
work was by far the largest item
on the list. The $50 miles of cable
and related equipment to be placed
this year, on which construction
work is well under way, call for an
expenditure of approximately 40 per
cent of the SOS, 100000 total involved
in this years program.
Announcement Is now made that
during 1927 and the three following
years the long distance people plan
to continue the extension of their
cable system on a still greater scale.
During this period they mean to in
stall about 1000 miles of cable year.
They will also acquire an interest in
about 400 miles OF cable to be in
ed companies of the Bell System.
Several OF the outstanding cable
Jobs for the present year are the
Chicago-st. Louis route, sections. of
the New York Buffalo Cleveland
route and the ond-Petersburg
section of the Washington-Atlanta
route. In addition to this current
work, plans now being made call for
cable routes from st. Louis via Kan
sas City to Dallas. Texas, and from
Atlanta via Jacksonville and West
Palm Beach to Miami, Florida.
On number of the principal
routes more than one cable Is al
ready in service and additional cables
on these same routes are either be-
ing installed or are planned for in
stallation in the near future. For
example, three cables are now In
service between New York and Phil
adelphia and the fourth will be in
stalled this year. With all of these
facilities working, there will be be-
tween New York and Philadelphia a
total of 21O direct message circuits
and 1O5 circuits on special contract
basis. A second cable Is either being
installed or Is planned for installa-
ton in the near future over one-half
Of the existing New York-Chicago
cable route. Similar conditions exist
in some sections of New England.
The need for long cables was rec
ognized quite early In the develop
ment Of the telephone business, but
owing to transmission limitations and
the methods then known, with in
sufficient volume of long distance
business. the use Of this type of
plant was not practicable. Today,
because of the development of high
ly efficient apparatus, improved man
ufacturing. construction and main
tenance practices and the increasing
use of long distance in business
transactions, long cable telephone
circuits are considered justified be-
tween the more populous centers of
the country.
Aerial wire construction Is still
recognized, however, as the standard
method Of providing long telephone
circuits in many parts of the coun-
try and extensive construction of this
type of plant Is also planned for the
future.

FALLEN CHEST HABIT
By W. p Gilbert waco Texa.

BY w. p. Gilbert, Waco, Texas
The habit which allows the chest
to fall down on the stomach Is a
strained position. It should be
taught to all school children from
the first years of their schooling to
guard against 1t.
This almost universal fault Is the
FIRST step in Consumption. Bold
a. the declaration may seem to you,
nevertheless 1t Is made, THAT, you
will not find consumption or its
symptoms in q man or woman who
10 free from this habit.
The fallen chest is weakness itself,
and the heart is crowded and check
ed in its work. The raised chest
compels the heart to do more work,
its blood is drawn with remarkable
energy all thru the interiors that feed
the lungs, and the vitality is such
that the germs of tuberculosis could
NOT long live there.
YOU who would like to do good
In the world, take this one PROPOSE
,tion into your homes and schools and
watch how a small principle will
revolutionize humanity.
II YOU will do this little for hui
mainly, the result will be the dis
dPpcdA dACO VI WCdh lungs duU TIC
departure Of that fearful enemy,
Consumption.
That q new habit may be formed
Is easily proved; all that is required
10 persistence for few weeks; con-
slant and ceaseless effort to remem-
Der 1t until the neglect alone will
arouse the attention.
Where there Is any strain there is
a sapping Of vitality; small, BUT
CERTAIN. Do not strain the
LUNGS with a FALLEN chest.

WILL YoU?

Do you remember, in days gone by,
The joys and pleasures that used to
lie about?
With your faces aglow, how happy
you'd play
On spring or summer or winters
day-and shout.
How you took to yourself . lovely
maid
To be your consort through life you
prayed; and wed.
How through each passing hour
she'd faith in you;
In days of plenty and lean ones, too,
instead.
But you went on the road to sell
your wares
And left her behind to thoughts and
cares, alone.
She's your pal with heart OF purest
gold,
Never her troubles to you she told
at home.
So just stop in your work, and think
Of how
You can make life's trials the lighter
now for her.
And each night while you're gone,
write letters gay;
Tell her successes as they each day
occur.
For your joys are her joys, your
cares her cares;
How little you know the burden she
bears for you
Do not put off today, just make your
plans
To aid and assist those tired hands.
Will you?

Elk's History of Service
Disregards Race Religion nd Prejudice to Aid Needy
A GOOD SAMARITAN

! much so that 1t was decided finally
to organize q club. Committees
were named, tentative society
formed and Vivian was placed at it's
head. At first 1t was confined to
actors, but soon writer's, artists and
others began to be included in the
circle.
With the growth of the club. 1t
was decided that a more suitable
name than any which had been sug-
gested should be selected and a COM
mittee was named for that purpose.
On February 16. 1868, the committee
reported and submitted the "Benev-
olent and Protective Order of Elks,"
and "Buffaloes." There were Is
present at the committee meeting at
which decision was to be made. :.
Seven voted for the name "Elks,"
Vivian was the last to vote. He cast
his ballot for "Elks" and that iAhow
the organization came into existence.
Up to 1890 the order had two de-
grees, one the first, designated as
'Elks" and the second as "Devout
Elders" They had separate pass
words of recognition as well as
handclasps. These degrees were
abolished at the 1890 session of the
grand lodge. In 1863 Vivian was
elected Right Honorable Prime.
which was then the same as Grand
Exalted Ruler today. The story Of
the Elks reads like a romance. At
the end of the first year 1t had 70
members, and one lodge. New York,
No. /, the mother lodge of Elkdom
which today has a magnificent home.
club and temple on Forty third
street, just east of Broadway.
On March ~, 1870, Elkdom began
its countrywide spread. On that
date charter was granted to Phila-
delphia Lodge No. 2. That year also
saw the election of the first grand
exalted ruler. He was Brother
George J. Green.

which is a sure sign Of his popular

Old folks warm up under his pleas
ing smile and CHEEKY greeting and
take a new lease Of life.
And the whole world. no matter
where he goes. is the better fo" hav-
ing known him-just an Elk.
The Elks are not an insurance OF

cardinal virtues are to aid the sick
bury the dead and inject sunshine
into dark places.
They are not enthusiastically dis
tributors Of Christianity.
There are no Elks in Potters' fields
or country shrouds.
They live by the way and lend unto
the Lord. but they give to, the poor.
Their mission Is to do good.
There are no hungry Elks.

Always ready for frolic, yet care
full that his exuberance does not hurt
others.
Perhaps, sometimes. he is just q
little too strong In his playful mo-
ments, but If so. and there 10 any
harm done, 1t Is to himself and not
to others.
Kind words are constantly flowing
from his tongue and his lips.
The frailties of others are passed
by without notice while their virtues
are softly lauded in such manner
as to MARE the recipient feel that his
good work IL appreciated, without
making him feel seh-impcrtant.
He is big brother to the little
brothers as we'll as to the little sis
tiers.

he comes in contact; always looking
on the bright side Of life and letting
the dark side take care Of itself.

With the order of Elks as q ma
tional organization has a history OF
only 81 years, 1t is history of notable
service to humanity and Of unfiag-
ging patriotic endeavor to dissemin-
ate throughout the land the great
principle of genuine Americanism
and the spirit of helpfulness typified
by the Samaritan of old. who dis
regarded racial, religious and cast
prejudices to give aid to one of an
alien race whose misfortune appeal
ed to his sympathy.
First among the organized bodies
In the United States to make the OBJ
servance of the anniversary Of the
adoption of the design of the ma
tional banner an obligation solemn
ly laid upon it's members. the order
thus took the initial step to impress
upon the minds of all Americans the
deep significance of the flag, the en-
blem of the power and protection of
human rights guaranteed by the re-
public. The work of Elkdom for bet
ter citizenship has been told In de-
tail many times, and space here will
not permit its recounting.
Founded in 1868. the order consist
ed Of but single lodge, New York
No. /, up to 1870, when the grand
lodge was formed and a second
subordinate lodge was chartered.
The Order Of Elks owes its exist
ence and its name to Charles Alger-
non Sidney Vivian, an Englishman
and a son of q preacher. Vivian
landed on these shores November
IL. 1857. He was an actor and his
great@engagement was at Buffers
American theater, New York city.
Vivian was a convivial- soul, and
his boarding house was a popular
gathering place for theatrical folks.
Hardly Sunday passed without a
big meeting and rally of thespians.
Sometimes there were mid-weekly
sessions as well.
As the fame of these meetings
spread their popularity increased so
