CHARACTER BUILT INTO BUSINESS

In 1875, Alexander Graham Bell said: IF
I can make current of electricity vary IN IN
tensity, precisely the air varies in density
during the production of sound, should be
able to transmit speech Geographically" His
Drophesy became a fact within the following
year.
Two years later, when the telephone was
still regarded as toy, Bell prophesed that
cables of telephone wire could be laid under
ground or overhead and connect cities, towns
and country. His prophesy is a reality.
Fortunately for the country" says Arthur
Pound, in his book, THE Telephone Idea" j"
"the five men who nursed the infant telephone
along had more than the average share of
courage, faith, honesty and persistence.
Chance brought them together; yet, consider
ing the unity of the group and it's wel-rounded
character, they could hardly have been better
chosen if years of thought had been given to
the combination. Bell, Sanders and Hubbard
each owned three-tenths of the original Bell
telephone stock; Watson one-tenth.
Bell the handsome young inventor, third
of his line who had taught the art of speech
to the deaf loved Gardner G. Hubbard's deaf
daughter. Here is one of the most exquisite
of American romances awaiting a novelist
tender love story lasting from youth to age
and proceeding delicately, yet with rugged
faith from poverty to riches, from ridicule to
fame, from insignifcance to honors. Bell was
trying to make the deaf hear before he invent
ed the telephone, and he kept on trying to
make the deaf hear long after he passed as a
creative influence from the telephone scene.
"The docket of patent law history is not
without cases in which inventors have been
euchred out of fame and wealth by more prac-
teal or intriguing minds. No such unworthy
heritage hangs over the history of the tele-
phone: instead, from the first moment of asso-
citation each of the original telephone pioneers
stood ready to risk everything in order to make
the Telephone 60"
About 1878, Theodore N. Vail was drawn
into the telephone venture with the four pion-
eers Thereafter the foundation and structure
of the present American telephone system was
laid, and it has stood the test of half century
and given to America the greatest telephone
system in the world.
If Vail, whom. his associates relied upon toI
put the telephone business upon solvent basis,
had been crafty, greedy, narrow-mnded orI
limited of vision; if he had been money
erubber or financial bucaneer or cold, |
selfish person with small sense of his public
responsibility the telephone business would
never have been developed as it has. That
Vail was broadmnded and recognized the pub
lie interest in this new business, and developed
it with this sense of responsibility, is evidenced
by the universal use of the telephone in Ameri- |
ca
The story of these telephone pioneers is |
worth repeating as an inspiration to struggling
industries, and to show that honesty and
square dealing build stronger structure than
sharp practices.

A new method of extracting oil
from grape seers has been discover
ed by French chemists. After the
grapes have been pressed, the seeds
are removed from the skins and
dried. They are then subjected to a
special process which extracts the oil

pounds of oil can be obtained from

Two instances of long distance tele-

of rendering some of his we'll loved

Thursday night Irving Berlin in Palm
Beach responded to a request for
new song that Lucrezia Borl, the

hummed his tune by telephone to his
associate in New York. He wrote
If down and hummed it back for Ber-
Inns approval. Being correct the

TO AVOID AUTOS
Accidents Caused by Animals
Decreasing in State

Hartford Feb. 25-Because OF the
lack of uniformity in different states
requirements for reporting accidents
and the stricter requirements OF
Connecticut, which call for report
of every accident resulting in per-

damage estimated at more than $40,

The statement is based on a disclos-
