Does Telephone Growth Always
Mean Higher Rates?

1NEuV IlYNGI AUtES
It's well known that the number of telephones increases
substantially each year. This fact fairly prompts the
question stated above
1t is true that the addition of each telephone sub
scriber builds up the multiplicity of connections which
must be available to ALL and thus tends to increase the
cost Of plant and operation per telephone switch
board serving only six subscribers lnes for example,
requires provision for fifteen possible nterconnections;
but when the number of lines grows to 5000, then the
nterconnectons which must be available to all increase
not in the proportion but to the stpendous total Of
100000; for every subscriber must be able both to
reach and to be reached by every other subscriber.
0settng this unique characteristic of the telephone
business however, the evercontnung developments
Of the art and the opportunities for improved practices
and economies common to all business engaged in what
may be termed wholesale production The extent to
which have realized upon these possibilities is evi-
denced by the fact that for quarter of century prior
to the World War rate history that of substantial
reductions.
But for the past ten years the telephone growth has
not only built up the units Of plant and operation per
subscriber must always be the case but has also been
attended with higher costs per unit due to the decreased
value of the dollar 1t is this double burden which has
brought about the present engency.
In word therefore, telephone growth of itself does
not necessarily mean higher rates. During long period
Of stable prices telephone rates were reduced Under
the high price conditions of the past decade telephone
rates have advanced much less than the cost of commod
ties Nothing can more clearly define our rate policy
than this record But all times we must maintain rates
that will provide for adequate service to the public and
earn fair return on the property of the Company The
present rates are insufficient to meet these requirements

M0LLA DEFENDS TITLE
Game Fight Expected From
Mrs. Mallory.
BY HENRY L. FARRELL
United Press staff Correspondent

OAAkVW AtNoo Os&h NNAASopNAo~A4k
NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-Miss Hell
en- Wills, the first of the increasing
number of "unofncial American
ambassadors to Europe" was to be-
gin on the turf courts at Forest Hills
today her conquest to win back the
American national tennis champion
ship.
Before Bobby Jones and the f1iers
had been extolled as agents grasping
the hands across the sea, Helen Wills
started the United States to Europe
and she is Just back from another
selling trip which won for her the
Wimbledon championship in which
were entered all the greatest anna
teur players in the world.
Undisputed Champ
If she wins at Forest Hills this
week she will be the undisputed
champion of the world-and a most
popular one.
There still remains Mile. Suzanne
Lenglen to dispute the claim, but
Mile. Lenglen is no longer a men,
Der of the amateur family and some
good authorities such as Miss Mary
K. Browne are of the opinion the
young American girl could oeat the
French star with the game she now
is playing.
So we'll is she playing Helen is a
prohibitive favorite to regain the
title that is now held by the veteran
Mrs. Molla Mallory.
There are others besides Mrs.
Mallory in the field of entries. There
are, for instance, the British girls
captained by Mrs. Kitty McKane
Godfree, one of the greatest players
in the game; Miss Kea Bouman, the
Dutch champion, and other good
American players like Miss Helen
Jacobs and Miss Eleanor Goss.
Looks Like Cinch
Considering the sweep Miss Wills
made through Europe and the poor
success Mrs. Mallory had there and
in her matches when she returned
to this country, the young former
champion might be resarded/as a
cinch.
Mrs. Mallory, however, may have
played herself back on to the top OF
her game. She played like a cham
pion in the Wightman Cup matches
and her game was revelation to
these who had counted her out
But they have been counting Mrs
Mallory and Billy Johnston out fol-
years.
Granting that she has all the
class che seems to have. Miss Wills
will not have a walk through be-
cause Mrs. Mallory is one Of the
games most courageous fighters and
she can still play little tennis
Miss Wills is the bet, however.
