Drought and attendant water

Marked improvement in telephone
service as we'll as an outstanding
growth in the number Of telephones
are shown in the annual report of the
American Telephone and Telegraph
Company for 1929. This report, made
to the 469,S01 stockholders by Presi-

during the past five years the aver
age time required for completing a
long-distance connection has been cut
more than one-half The average

give years ago." Mr.. Clifford says,
ION an average there was trouble on
subscribers line once in every -
months as compared with troublel
only once in every 20 months now.
Today 81 per cent of the troubles are
corrected on the day reported"
1t was formerly necessary on prac-
tically all long distance calls for the
subscriber to hang up the telephone
after putting in the call and to be re-
called when the connection was
ready. In 1925 operating methods
were developed which made it pos
sible to handle long distance calls
with speed approaching that Of
local calls. In 1929 more than 20 per
cent Of the long distance calls were
handled while the calling subscriber
remained at the telephone.
The mere publishing Of telephone
numbers is large undertaking In
itself, the report shows. In 1929 there
were 100000 listings and $4,000. 900
directories were issued. Steady inn
provement is being effected in the APP
pearance, ease of reference and accu-
racy of telephone directories.
1t is realized, Mr.. Clifford states,
that service which Is good on the
average may not be satisfactory serv-
ice to the individual who may at some
time, for one reason or another, re.
ceive service much below the aver.
age. Every effort is therefore COM
stantly being made not only to reduce
the number Of errors and imperfec-
lions in the service, but also to locate
and remedy temporary abnormal con,
ditions.
Each telephone CALL" he says, els

toner is an individual. Although the
calls are numbered by the billions
and the customers by the millions, IL
is the aim to treat the customer and
his requirements on the basis Of per.
sonal consideration in each instance.
Service satisfactory in every respect
to each user is the ultimate goal"
At the end Of the year there were
100000 telephones in the Bell Sys4
tenn, about 900,000-the largest nums
Der In any year-being added In 1929.

Mrs. Macmillan will receive a
medal for her resourcefulness in help
ing to apprehend a burglar who was
attempting to rob safe in a local
creamery. While working the switch
board as an operator about A. NJ,
January 20, 1929, she attempted to
answer a signal appearing on the
switchboard. Receiving no response,
she listened in on the line and heard
what was apparently the sound of a
hammer pounding steel. Quickly
grasping the situation. she called the

rushing to the spot from which the
alarm had come, found that the chill

one of the girls and attempted unsuc-
cessfully to reach the other who sank
below the surface. Swimming against
the outgoing tide she reached the shore
with the girl she had rescued. Then
with her companions she rushed back
into the water and began diving to
locate the girl who sank. After an
hours fruitless search, she collapsed
from shock and exhaustion.
The citation covering these Vail
Medal awards, Mr.. Rooms states, in
the case Of Mrs. Macmillan reads:
by her prompt and intelligent action
and use of the facilities Of the COM
pany, performed a valuable service
in protecting a community from
crime"
The other citation reads: "By this
combination of courage, presence Of
mind, and ability to act effectively.
Miss Boyd risked her own life to save
the life of one person and in an at
tempt to save that of another"
Vail Medal awards are made annu-
ally as memorial to Theodore NJ

Mr.. Vail was long recognized as oneI
of the worlds great business leaders,
and it was to his conspicuous service
in the telephone field that were large
