lad been drained by unusual condi-
ions caused by the World War. The
storm was weathered but in its wake
he New York Telephone Company,
specially in New York City, found
IS greatly enlarged personnel and
equipment scattered about the city In
many locations, number of which
were leased; administrative Offices
nose ddlies were closely identified
were in some places widely sepa-
rated; quarters, in many cases hastily
equipped and manned, were found in
adequate for the ever increasing tele-
phone demand; they offered no room
Tor expansion.
The problem set itself squarely be-
fore the management. It was aggra-
waited by responsibility to the public,
tor 1t was necessary that the solution
secure the maximum of efficiency
With the lowest possible cost. All
studies which had as their genius
economy led TO one conclusion, the
erection OF building conveniently
located and large enough to sat
isfy present demands and to reason
ably anticipate future requirements.
Forthwith the erection of such
building was decided and 1t was plan
ned to house eventually an army of
5000 telephone workers and six CEN
trail Offices capable of serving 100, 900
telephones.
To the architects, Mckenzie, Voor-
hees and Gmelin, was presented an
exacting task. Their plans had to
provide structure Of kind peculiar
to the requirements of a telephone
company and of a design which would
not be unsi htly and therefore objec-
tionable to the citizens Of New York.
Moreover, these specifications had to
be met with the very greatest econo-
my. The success OF the architects Is
now we'll attested. The late Joseph
Pennell, celebrated artist, has called
the West street building 1.-The most
impressive modern building in the
world"
The building at 40 West street
stands with distinction as a milestone
along the ever widening and length
ching highway Of telephone progress.

HEARING SLEIGH-BELLS

It was Christmas Eve and the chill
dren and the grownups and the big
black cat and the little white dog had
all gone to bed.
It was beautiful Christmas Eve
with snow on the ground and the air
crisp and cold, quiet and without any
wind.
Jimmy had gone to bed at q slight
~ later hour than had his younger
sister Kitty.
But Jimmy was asleep now.
And yet he was not SO sure that he
was quite sound asleep.
He knew he was too sleepy to get
up, though he had really meant to lie
awake and hear all that was. going
on. He had wanted to hear Santa's
arrival and the sleigh-bells and the
reindeer.
OF course he had promised he would
not, even IL he were awake, go down
and see Santa.
He knew Santa did not have the
time to stop and talk and that he
liked to be quite alone when he was
fixing the Christmas presents and get
ting ready everything that he had for
everyone.
But he had made up his mind he
would have beautiful time listening
TO the sounds Of the sleigh.bells and
OF the reindeer and Of Santa.
For he knew he could hear the
slight sounds Santa made as he moved
around In the living room fixing the
presents.
Yes, he had planned to have glori-
GUS time listening.
And SO had his younger sister
Kitty.
They had both spoken about it.
"I'm. going to listen for Santa
Christmas Eve" Jimmy had said so
many times.
"rm going to listen for him, too"
Kitty had said just as often.
And then when Christmas Eve came

Time to Feed Baby

Little Bonnie, aged four, was much
in love with her new baby sister.
One evening the baby was crying
and Bonnie kept insisting that mother
feed the baby. To which mother re-
piled that it wasn't time to feed her.
Bonnie disgustedly replied, "well,
please feed her anyhow! She doesn't
know what time 1t Is !"

would say "Keep out" or "No

Naturally we thought that was the
name of the park, but on looking
closer we saw. another sign read

we intended to do. Another
peculiarity that impressed Mead
is that the cantalopes grow in
trees and they call them "papai-

says he has seen the trees and I
will take an oath that they are
called "papaias."
"The suburbs of Honolulu are

SO that one walks on hard blue

seen that elsewhere.

 touches" he said, land, in my opinion, the railroad should have been routed through that district Not only from scenic standpoint, but on account of the vast potential resources which abound there. Both the placer and quartz properties will some day fur nish great tonnage for the railroad. The agricultural outlook is amazing; great level fertile valleys are there which hardly need blow.
 "We drove all the way to Sunrise over the old and the new highway and let me tell you that there is a high way which surpasses in beauty the nationally known Columbia highway. The grandeur of the country was a constant source of marvel to Mrs. Johansen and myself. 1 never dream ed such a valuable asset lay so close to Seward; and practically unherald- ed. The long highway which the Bu- reau of Public Roads department has had under construction for the past To1 ha 1ntn hi fa1l according to present indications, and not too much can be said in praise of the splendid work accomplished. The road runs along at good even grade; it is wide, we'll surfaced and smooth It is a keen delight to drive over it. All we need now is to have the Moose Pass road connected up from Mile IS, at the end of the Sew ard-Kenai lake highway, to Mile 29, and Seward motorists will then be able to boast of a system of roads un- beatable by any town in the Terri tory with the possible exception of Fairbanks. To Seward business firms the procuring of this connecting link should be their objective until they succeed. Another link, which would mean a big revenue to Seward, would be the extension of the highway down to Kenai. Not only that but it would serve as the first step in popu- lating one of the finest sections of the Territory. At the present time it is said there are just as many people residing in the Kenai district as there are in Seward and around this vicinity. A road such as I am speaking of would serve as an inducement for others to take up land down there. Now is the time for the people of Seward to get started in bringing the Bureau of Public Roads department attention to the vital need of the con- struction of these two connecting links. From Mile IS to Mile 29 and from the Moose Pass road down to the town of Kenai!"
