But in this case he cannot get a d.

Take the Bell Telephone System as
an example: This great communica-
ton utility, which furnishes local and
long distance service to every section
of the United States and whose lines
connect with foreign countries, both
on this side Of the Atlantic and In
Europe, is now spending more than
S1,000,000 a day for additional facili
ties necessary to meet the demands
of the public for adequate telephone
service. The additions and improve.
ments to the system include the
establishment Of new central Offices,
construction Of pole, wire and cable
lines, and requirements to existing
plant.
One of the major items in this
gigantic construction program is the
extension of cable lines to connect
cities and communities. Telephone
cables are now being used extensive
ly, not only for local telephone serv.
ice in cities and towns, but also for
long distance lines. Today many of
the important cities of the country
are connected by storm-proof cable
which insures practically uninterrupt.
ed telephone service at all times.
In the face Of this great demand for
telephone cable comes the announce
ment by officials of the Western Elec

that the recent spectacular market
changes in copper and lead have in

Telephone cables are composed of

them from the elements. Telephone
cables are used both overhead and
underground. This type of telephone
plant has been in use since 1879, but

years that it has been used in such
an extensive manner as at present.

will enable you to recondition the
child so that the door can be closed
and the light turned out. If you do

Nice Distinctions as

Whistling is the boys own music,

whistle as 1t is for a bird to sing
although the music is not always as
melodious. But whistling, like other
practices, is restrained in society by
unwritten rules Of etiquette. 1t is in

standpoint of manners.
A boy reprimanded, a servant dis.
