The chief value OF auch whole

that It almost compels the average
Individual who would act upon 1t.
TO take his problem to an expert.
The old saying that "a little learning

applicable to building for homes or
for profit and in such case a.

more than likely to seek specialized
guidance because OF the very mass

do not discount the value of
any good advice, hut I do always
insist that its source be taken into
account. When advice Is given
gratis, even II 1t is good advice, 1t
needs to be expertly looked into.
One Is reminded of the immense
amount Of good advice advertised
by dental manufacturers.
Practically all OF it is good, but
none of it is disinterested. and most
folks know enough to act on such
advice only with the cooperation
Of their own dentist. see a SINH
lar fair comparison to be made with
the advice which comes from any
OF those who supply essentials used
In building. Good advice, yes, but
hest followed with the help Of an
expert.
For quite some time l have
urged the building up of q. profess
sion Of home engineers; I used the
phrase for want of q better one.
There exists today no regularly or.
ganized profession OF expert engi-
neers to whom the home builder
may submit his plans. consider
It just as essential for the home
builder, even the builder Of the
most modest type OF house, to have

Bell System Adds 7S1, 900 Telephones
In 1926, Making Total Of 17,574,OOO
Annual Report of President Clifford Tells of Continued Progress
of the Nations Telephone Service

The average length of time for COM
pleting toll calls for the whole System
during the year, including both toll
calls completed by local operators and
those handled at separate toll boards,
was two minutes per call, the lowest
for any year by 95 seconds.
The quality of voice transmission
was practically perfect in IS per cent.
Of toll calls, an improvement of 7 per
cent over the previous year.
During 1926 an adjustment in long
distance rates was made by the
American Telephone and Telegraph
Company amounting to a reduction of
about $4,000, 900 annually.
Mr.. Chords report on the financial
status Of the Bell System as a whole
says:
The investment OF the American
Telephone and Telegraph Company
and its twenty-four associated operat.
ing telephone companies which COM
prise the Bell Telephone System In
creased over 381S.O0O,OOe during the
year. and total assets were over So
256,0O0O00 at the end of the year.
The facts which this report gives
about the stockholders OF the Amer
lean Telephone and Telegraph Co. are
striking proof Of the tendency for
widespread ownership OF American
corporations.
With S99.121 stockholders at the end
Of the year, the American Telephone
and Telegraph Company doubtless has
the largest number of stockholders of
any corporation in the world The net
gain in stockholders during the year
has been S6.942, which is larger than
the gain in 1925. The average number
of shares held per stakeholder is now

reasonable cost.
The year 1926 brought the service of
the Bell Telephone System measur-
ably nearer that goal.
There were ISL 900 telephones added
to the number owned and operated by
the System.
The total number OF telephones In
the United States interconnected In
and with the System at the end OF the
year was 1854 600
There has been definite improve

number Of exchange plant troubles
per unit of plant was reduced II per

The average time from the receipt
OF requests for the installation of
telephones to the completion OF such
installation was reduced by one day

men in many ways. A sudden storm
may cause veritable food Of tele-
phone calls to rise quickly In central
Offices where, in fair weather, a more
tranquil flow prevails.
Many portions Of the telephone
plant are peculiarly susceptible to at.
mospheric conditions. IN order that
the service shall not fail in the face
of natures challenge, the plant must
be designed constructed and main.
tainsd so as to be practically immune
TO the ordinary vicissitudes Of the
weather.
Careful plans for protection against
violent downpours and heavy gales
are not enough The sultry, humid
summer dog-days and the clear. biting
nights OF mid.winter would each
breed, in the telephone plant, a host
OF their own peculiar kind Of troubles
were 1t not for the vigilance Of an
army of telephone people constantly
bent on outwitting the weather in all
of its varied moods
Despite the unremitting care and
effort Of the construction and main
tenance forces Interruptions Of the
service due to rain, wind, sleet, heat,
cold and lightning would be frequent
and widespread but for the basal work
of the telephone engineers and scien-
lists. These men, who invent design
and test, in the laboratory and in the
field, the complex apparatus and
methods essential to modern telephone
service, must constantly keep in
mind the necessity Of producing equip
ment that shall ever be best adapted
to withstand the onslaughts Of the
elements.
