the occasion. Speech was first trans
mitted by telephone March 10, 1876.
Fiftieth anniversary celebrations
were held in many cities throughout
the country. In the territory OF the
Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Company and associated companies,
meetings were held at Washington, and
Baltimore, and Richmond. Norfolk and
Roanoke, Va, and Charleston, Wheel

The significance Of those memorial
gatherings lay in the fact that it was
the one event among many in which
every telephone man and woman in
the United States and Canada could
participate personally. II probably
marked the first occasion in the his

Designations For New Telephone Ex-

Naming a baby is an easy job com
pared with naming a telephone ex-
change.
Some people have the idea that
when telephone officials get ready to
christen a new telephone exchange, all
they do is to sit down and think for a
while when-presto-a suitable name
comes to mind and II is chosen. This,
however, is far from the real facts.
Naming a telephone exchange requires
a long time and involves labor on the
part Of large number Of persons.
In other words, names for telephone
exchanges are not simply plucked out
OF the air. They are selected only
after much care and investigation
Whenever possible, names to fit the
locality are chosen, but the first and
main consideration is that the name
shall be easily distinguishable in ordi-
nary conversation: that II is not

exchange in the same local area, and
that a word is selected that is easily
spelled In order to be suitable for
use in machine switching Offices, the
first three letters must not be used in
the same area as the code correspond
ing TO another name.
Accordingly. exhaustive tests are
made by telephone engineers TO de-
termine the phonetic suitability Of
a word Words are tested over tele-
phone wires by different people After
a long list OF words has been sub
jected to a suitable number Of tests,
ordinarily many thousands, the re-
suits are summarized. and those on
which the smallest number Of errors
have been found are set aside for use,
the name ordinarily being graded in
accordance with its apparent desir-
ability.

CHRYSANTHEMUNIS.

The hardy chrySanthemum is one OF
the most attractive outdoor flowers of
the late Fall season. Their culture
will doubtless become wider spread
through this locality now that varie-
ties are being developed which will
flower in q normal season before many
of them are spoiled by the frost.
Chrysa themums do we'll on most of
the soils adapted to garden crops. The
plant is a gross feeder and will thrive
best on soils which have been heavily
enriched with manure. In addition,
the use of liquid manure or weak solu-
tions of nitrate of soda can be given
after the buds are formed. They do
best in the sun. although they will
grow in part shade.
To produce good bloom, NUNS
should be divided and reset each year.
This can be done early in the year as
soon as the new shoots begin to grow
from the base of the plants. One
needs but small shoot with a few
roots attached for large individual
flowers or several shoots in a piece
where clun1p effects are desired. These
new starts should be set in newly en-
riched soil about to 2ia feet apart.
Pinch back the young plants in the
Spring as this causes them to branch
and to produce a large number of
flowers in the Fall. The size of the
individual flowers can be increased by
dsbuddng in late Summer. thus
throwing the strength of the plant in
10 fewer flowers. In many cases near
Washington it would seem advisable
that the clumps be given light mulch
of leaves or straw after the ground
has frozen, following the same prac.
tice as it followed with strawberries.

WINDOW GARDENING.

Window gardening or window boxes
are particularly suited to those who
live in the crowded city. where the
want of other space makes them the
one possibility.
Since window boxes are usually
made up Of tender plants which
should net be planted outdoors much
before May 20, this column is now
beginning a series of articles upon
the various phases in the preparation,
choice of plant materials and care.
There are window boxes for the fine
residential homes. and there are sim
ple ones which can be made by the
average man and suitable even for
tho humblest home. Handsomely fin
ished boxes of wood or ornamental
tiline are on the market, but why
bother with these when a pine box
made from inch lumber is just as
serviceable. The homemade box
should be the length of the window,
about 10 inches wide and inches
high. Il coat or two of paint on the
outside and for an inch down from
the upper rim of the box on the in
