Mothers by thousands praise
California Fig Syrup. For fifty

this pure vegetable product. It

NAVY'S LOS ANGELES
 SAILS OVER PUTNAM
Largest u. s. Dirigible Seen We'd nesdsy Morning-Salutes Town
 in Passing

Putnam got a thrill yesterday morn ing the U. s. Navy dirigible Los Am geles passed right over the heart of the city at about 1915, flying low and giving the large crowd which gathered to see II fine opportunity to get a good idea of what the larg- est lighter-than-air craft now owned in the United States looks like.
 The big ship appeared first as a bright spot in the western sky which rapidly grew until one could see the nose held directly on the center of the town. A few minutes later and the cigar-shaped craft was sailing in dignified superiority over the earth lings looking up at it from Union Square. every detail standing out in the clear air and the sun gleaming on it's silver sides. She seemed to be going very slowly yet it was not long before she melted away in the distant haze and work was resumed again in Putnam. Before she went out of sight, however she seemed to hang a moment in the air and then slowly dipped her nose in gracious recogni- tion that there was, after all, an earth beneath her.
 The big dirigible was on a cruise from Newport up over Providence and so around and back to Newport, where she tied up again to her moor ing ship. the Patoka. The chief topic of conversation in many homes last night was how high she was when she came over. Guesses of anywhere from one to five thousand feet were hazarded

i located on Union street. The first ] telephone was installed in his office and assigned the number "l', which number he still retains. The second l telephone was installed in his resi- | denee.
 Judge Fuller. as he is now best | known. stated that he met with con siderable sales resistance in the early l days. People were afraid to use the ! telephone: could see no advantage in 1 having one since there were less than ! 100 subscribers up to 1895, and then 1 the transmission was none too good. 1 The original switchboard had ca- pacity Of fifty lines and the local force consisted of one operator, a combination lineman. installer and troubleman. and the manager.
 At first all of the ringing was done by hand generators on the switchboard but in a few years ringing generator was installed at Rents mill and the first big improve ment in the service had been ae- complished Hand generators were used at the stations to summon the operator for some time after this. The wires were run from roof to roof If this practice was still contin- ned. there wouldn't be room enough ! in the business center to carry the ! 800 pairs of wires now run under ground through the center of the city. If poles were used sixteen separate lines of poles would be re- auired to carry these wires.
 Mir. Fuller. who is now eighty years old and in gnod health. held the position of manager for nearly twenty years and when he resigned in 1902, there were 27l telephones in this exchange and IF telephones in the Pomfret exchange. which was consolidated with the Putnam ex- change in 1906. Mir. Fuller is still conducting his insurance business and is the dean of insurance agents in this state. having been in this business over sixty years. When ask ed what he thought was the most re- markable thing about present day telephone service, he replied: "The extension of the service to all parts of the world by radio and submarine cables"
 Present Volume of Business
 At the present time there is a l force of thirty-one people who are required to furnish telephone service | to this city and surrounding towns. ! There are six men who install and keep the various items of equipment in repair, twenty-one operators who complete the calls, of which twelve handle the local calls and nine the | toll calls. while the business office has a force of four people In addi- 1 tion. special crews are brought into | the exchange for all cable work, all 1 engineering and all large construc- ton jobs The present switchboard with a capacity of 1900 lines and serving nearly 2.700 subscribers presents a very decided contrast to the original switchboard with a ca- pacity of fifty lines and serving less than 300 subscribers. The present private branch switchboard installed at the Putnam Company by the Tel ephone Company is about the size of the original switchboard used in this exchange. The calling rate in this territory has also increased and now the local force completes an average of 10000 local and 600 toll calls every day.
