Interesting Display Reveals
Remarkable Deve lopment
During the Past Half Cen
tury-Wooden Receivers of
Generation Ago Most Cum
bersome

Telephones, ranging from the GEN.
tennial model exhibited by Bell in 1876
to the 1000, 00oth telephone installed
of the present style, are on exhibition
at the First Granite National Bank
building in this city. The exhibition
of this invention showing its gradual
but steady development Is especially
appropriate, this being the Both ami
versary of the invention of the tele-
phone.
Among the more interesting styles
are the desk models of 1891 and 1892.
These models, large and cumbersome,
were ornately constructed with small
switch to control a battery bell, which
is also on exhibition. The 1892 tele-
phone is slightly less awkward than
the 1891 type, the chief improvement
being the elimination of several of
the unnecessary features which were
so evident in the previous model.
Not the least interesting parts on
exhibition are the receivers used on
telephones during the early stages of

Heavy Out-of-State
Automobile Tourist
Travel Noticeable

A convoy of eight large automo-
bile trucks, led, apparently by big
Lincoln auto and followed by several
private cars containing servants.
passed through this city about s
o'clock Friday evening without stop
ping. Who the people were or where
they were going is purely a matter
of conjecture but it was thought that
it might be some millionaire going
perhaps to a summer home at Bar
Harbor
Each of the eight big trucks was
of sufficient size to hold from half
to three quarters as much as a
standard freight car and all were
owned, according TO the signs which
they bore, by the Miller North Broad
Storage Company of Philadelphia, Pa.
They together with the automobiles
accompanying them all were from
Pennsylvania.
Friday seemed to be the day for
extremely heavy out of state traffic
because the sizable Pennsylvania con-
voy was not the only one to attract
attention here. \ giant auto bus des-
/ ignated as a highway pullman" and
bearing a Massachusetts registration
also passed through Water stree
without stopping. 1t bore the name
Of II. H. Linn but what its destina-
ton or purpose. no one could say
. The bus was far bigger than any
thing that has before been seen here
and would measure, it is estimated
within q very few feet as long as
one of the larger of the one man cars
used by the Androscoggin and Ken
nebec Railroad.
More out of state cars are seen or
the street this year than ever before
and indications are that this will be-
a banner year for tourists. License
plates from all of the New England
states and from many others this side
of the Mississippi. together with a
few from as far distant as the Pa
citic coast are seen nearly every day
and the sum total OF out of state cars
seen on Water street at times inn

equal to the Maine cars

the telephone. These were made by
Childs and Chamberlain of Vermont
and, typical of the instruments on
which they were used, are large and
made entirely of wood OF nearly the
regulation length these receivers have
nearly twice the diameter of the mod
ern receiver.
These exhibits are interesting to
look at. They represent the result OF
laborious effort on the part of manu-
facturers, well known in their day
and through their now rather crude
efforts the perfection of the presen,
telephone was largely possible.

A A. A. Secretaries To
Meet in Washington
Especial to The Dispatch) /.

PHOENIX, May 6. - The national
meeting of A, a. A. secretaries held
in Washington, p. c., in March dis
cussed the question of giving free road
information service to non member
motorists seeking the same.
The discussion resulted in reso-
luton being introduced and passed
that a service fee of one dollar be
charged non-m members seeking road in
formation from an affiliated A. A. A..
club.
The Automobile Club of Arizona like
it's big sister club in Southern Cali
fornia has never made any charge for
this service, believing that the best
interest of Arizona called for a free
information service to any motorist
seeking same, whether a resident of
Arizona or visitor from some other
state.
This policy of the Automobile Club
of Arizona has resulted in the great
volume of motor traffic flowing into
the state being spread out over the
state, surging into region practically
unknown to the visitors until des-
cribed by the clubs touring bureau
and shown to be accessible over the
good highways of Arizona.
The Automobile Club of Arizona
management believes that its increas-
ed membership in all sections of the
state has largely resulted from this
policy of increasing business by di-
verting motor traffic into climatic and
scenic favored regions.
Arizona has millions of dollars on
her system of good roads and is now
receiving large dividends through i'm
creased business carried into all sec
tions Of the state by motor vehicles.
