Tooth ANNIVERSARY OF THE
DEATH OF LAFAYETTE

One hundred years ago this years
May goth, Marquis de Lafayette
died in Paris, France. AS one Of
the greatest figures of the American
Revolution and Mason, tribute will
be paid this notable French-Ameri-
can patriot by many Masonic Lodges
throughout the United States.
Tradition has it that he joined a
Military Lodge at Marristown, N. j.
He was an honorary member OF
Fredericksburg (Va.) Lodge No. A,
Washington's Mother Lodge. On q
visit to this country in 1894 he pre-
scented Washington a beautiful white
satin apron deliberately embroidered
with Mosonic emblems, the work Of
the Marquise de Lafayette.
On his visit here in 1924 he was
made an honorary member of the
Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania and
visited the Lodges of many other
jurisdictions. Thirty-four Lodges in
81 Grand Jurisdictions OF this coun-
try bear his name. He was buried
in the Cimitiere de Picpus in Amer
lean soil sent to Paris from battle-
field where he had fought.

Out-of-town telephone calls are now
being completed almost instantan-
eously. In central Offices Of the Ches-
apeake ard Potolac Telephone Com
panies in Maryland, Virginia, West
Virginia and the District Of Colun-
bia, officials CT tie companies say that
last year on the average, the $4,000
out-of-toWn calls made each twenty
four hours were completed within one
minute after The order was filed with
the operator. This compares with
about IL minutes six years ago.
Users Of the service today take up
the telephone, ask the operator for the
number or name OF the person wanted
in another city or community, are
asked to wait on the line, the connec-
ton is established, and the converse
tion held almost as if the persons
speaking were face to face. Making
an out-of-town telephone call is very
simple operation-from the telephone
users point of view.
With tie telephone company there
is a very different story. Each out-of-
town telephone call requires at least
fourteen distinct operations before the
charges are billed to the subscriber at
his home or cfice.
When the subscriber places the call
to an out-of-town city, the operator
writes en- a ctande-d ticket the calling
number, tie telephone number Of the
rsrty c2lle9, and, in caaes Of person
.e-porso1 calls, che name, These facts
are necessary for operating and bill
ing pur coses, When the call is com
picted, TIE operator stamps the ticket
with ca'crlagrarh or timing clock
which records the elapsed period

talked. Tie ticket is then filed along
with others by the night operators
after the busy periods of the evening
are over. Each days accumulation of
tickets are forwarded to the account
ing department for billing.
When tickets for out-of town tele-
phone calls are received in the ac-
counting department, they are weighed
to measure the approximate volume of
calls. The tickets are then rated by
having the charges written on them
and tota,ed. Tickets are then assorted
by central Offices, being arranged in
numerical order, and filed in fve-day
allotments. When tickets for six per.
iods Of five days each are assembled,
they are passed along to a group of
clerks who place the charges on state
ments showing the date of each call,
the place called, amount of charges,
government tax, and other necessary
billing information.
Other clerks add the charges for each
subscribers statement. The tickets
ere then routed to another group of
clerks who verify the tickets and
statements by adding the money value
Of the tickets and comparing with the
amounts tota,ed on the statements.
This insures the subscriber against
billing errors. The amounts on the
statements are then posted On the
monthly bills; the statement is at
tached, and both are placed in an en-
velope ready for mailing. At stag
gered intervals during the month, bills
are mailed to various communities and
usually are paid by check or at the
business offices of the company or
other designated collection agencies.

TAKE TT EASY"

Here is timely tip from the Key
stone Automobile Club of Maryland
for the motorist who finds difficulty
in starting his car after parking in
the snow: Take it easy Don't
step hard on the accelerator. The
slower your engine speed the more
chance your tires have to take a
grip. Spinning the wheels only in
creases the difficulty, because the
tires make smooth grooves in the
snow, with consequent loss of tao
ton.

Telephone merchandising in large
department stores has reached such
proportions that it has become neces-
sary to develop special switchboard
apparatus for handling, the great num-
Der of calls made. Equipment for this
purpose, developed by the Bell Tele-
phone Laboratories, is now being
utilized by many large department
stores. This equipment, known as an
order turret' provides a class of
service separate from private branch
exchange systems which serve the
telephones of the various departments
of such stores.

vides for completing incoming calls

orders of the calling parties or give

central offices, dials are also provided.
The other facilities at the attendants
position depend on the type of
establishment in which the turret is
installed.
Work that the attendant has to do
in handling calls has been reduced to
minimum. When call comes in
to an attendants position, one of the
Indicator lamps lights, and just before
the call is connected. the attendant
receives double buzz in her receiver
to notify her that call is about to
be connected. Without any effort on
her part, the call then comes in over
her headset. and she takes the order
or types the message as she receives
1T. When through with the call, she
dismisses the trunk by operating one
of the switching keys in the box.
When she is ready for another call,
she restores this key which prepares
her circuit for receiving 1t.
Should call come In to the at
tendant's position for information or
service other than she usually renders,
she may transfer 1t to the regular
private branch exchange board of the
establishment by operation of one of
the other keys.
