URGE YOUR CONGRESSMAN
TO HEED YOUR WISHES

You have every right to make your
wishes heard. And if your wishes are
disregarded you have every right to elect
new Congressman who will represent you
more faithfully.
Now is your last chance to help defeat
this bill, which will wipe out practically
all utility holding companies and the
savings of millions of utility investors. If
you have no utility investments, act for
your neighbor who has.
Isn't it worth the price of telegram or
the effort of letter to let your Repre-
sentatives in Congress know that you
want them to vote against this wanton
destruction of the property of good Amer
lean citizens? Act now. 1t is your last
chance.

the District of Columbia, tells the
1O,4OO employees how to prevent colds.
The common cold, DR.. Bristol says,
being the common enemy of human
ity, requires an uncommon amount of
common sense to combat it. Remem-
Der, he says, that the chief thing you
can do to prevent cold is to build
up general body resistance through:
living and working in properly VEN
tilated quarters; avoiding sudden chill
ing of the body due to scant clothing
or wet feet; taking regular exercise
in the open air; daily cool sponge,
shower or tub bath; about eight hours
sleep out of every twenty-four; ade-
quate and regular elimination; a diet
suitable in quantity and including the
important vitamins found in milk,
egg yolk, butter. green vegetables and
fresh fruits; drinking from six to
eight glasses of water daily; correc.
ton of abnormal nose OR threat con
ditions, such as enlarged tonsils and
adenoids; and avoidance of unneces-
sary contact with person who has
a cold.
In addition to a comparative free.
dom from colds, another summer
health factor which every one should
encourage taking over into the win
ter is enough fresh air and good ven-
tilation in homes and places of work.
Clean air, and air with chemical
composition within reasonably normal
limits, is necessary for satisfactory
ventilation, but, remember that it is
more Immediately important to ven-
tilate in the interest of the heat
regulating mechanism of the body.

Bell Laboratories Design
Improved Linemen's Belt

in the shop where the belt is made.
AS a check on the leather cutters
skill, the telephone engineers have es-
tablished chemical requirements limit
ing the content of epson salts, glucose,
free acid, ash, and total water-soluble
materials, with which the physical
character of leather has been cor
related. A tensile-strength test COM
elements the chemical requirements,
and all leather is inspected for visible
defects such as brands, soft or
spongy spots, grub holes, barbed wire
scratches, and the like.
The snap hooks of the safety strap
and the "dee" rings of the body belt
are made of drop forging from mild
steel. Their generous diversified rings
and snaps insure strength. Tests for
both chock and bending are applied
during inspection to insure freedom
from brittleness. To reduce the tear
ing strength at the buckle holes of the
strap, the buckle is provided with two
prongs, which work in unison so as
to make adjustment simple. The
holes are so located that no section
containing them will come in contact
with the snap hook roller regardless
of which set of hooks is occupied by
the prongs. The snap hooks describ-
ed by Mr.. Sharl are of the duck
billed type, offel74g less chance of
malfunction and accidental disengc ge-
ment than any other simple type of
hook.
Linemen like to draw their pliers
and other hand tools from their belts
with maximum ease and convenience.
The new belt is designed with thi;
purpose in mind, but is so ARRANGED
that the tools will not drop out of the
holders of their own accord, when the
workman is bending over in SON diff
cult position. Falling tools would, of
course, be hazardous to pedestrians,
who might walk in close proximity to
the poles on which men are working.
In addition to the loops formed by the
top strap, the tool carrying facilities
of the new belt include plier pocket,
a metal loop for a lineman's wrench
and tape holder.

Telephone Merchandising
Increasing Survey Shows
Sales Reported By With
Yearly Telephone Account

such surveys as we have made among
the shoppers themselves, indicate a
preference for the telephone method
much wider than the use made of it. :"
Interesting facts brought out in the
survey show that in series of nearly
$500 personal interviews with house
holders-principally women-the ques-
tion was asked: "Do you use the tele-
phone for shopping or do you insist on
seeing most Of the things you buy?"
Analysis Of the replies, Mr.. Shaw
says, indicates that some forty per cent
of the telephone subscribers showed
willingness to shop by telephone.
In a city where the home telephone
development is in the high ratio of
about sixty per cent, 800 telephone
subscribers were asked the question,
"Do you like to shop by telephone
In this case, Mr.. Shaw states, the af-
firmative answer slightly outnumber-
ed the negative-404 Of the house
holders answering eyes" and 3c5
answering "No." >
Consideration naturally must b.
given to the cost of telephone equip
ment to handle an increased volume
of telephone business Mr. Shaw states.
Experience indicates, he says, that
this expense is more than offset by the
advantages that flow to the store in
other directions. One large store
whose annual expense for telephone
equipment alone amounted to about
$175,OO0 considers this an investment
of indispensable value to the stores.
This is not surprising, when it is found
that the annual gross sales by tele-
phone amounted to about $4,000, 900.

BELL LABORATORIES HEAD
AWARDED FARADAY METAL

ing to an announcement made in
London.
The practice of awarding the medal,
which was instituted in 1922, had as
it's object the commenioration of the
fiftieth anniversary of the first meet
ing of the Society of Telegraph Engi-
neers, which later became the Insti-
tuition of Electrical Engineers. Under
the terms of the resolution establish
ing the award, the medal may be
awarded not oftener than once year
"either for notable scientific achieve
ment in electrical engineering, or for
conspicuous services rendered to the
advancement of electrical science,
without restriction as regards nation
atty, country of residence or men,
bership in the Institution"
The medal is of bronze. At the
time of it's establishment, it was an
nounced that it was desired by the
Institution that "there should be no
suggestion of any intrinsic value in
the medal itself, but rather that it
should owe it's value first, to the fact
that it was to commemorate an i'm
portant event in the history of this
Institution; secondly, that it was Of
fered for world wide services without
any restrictions; and lastly, that it
was hoped, as time proceeded, its i'm
portance would be advanced by the
illustrious names of it's holders"

Merchandising by telephone has re-
ceived an added impetus with the an
nouncement that the two largest mail
order houses in the country-Mont-
gomery Ward and Co. and Sears,
Roebuck and Co.-are establishing
sales service departments where tele-
phone orders will be handled promptly.
That buying by telephone in depart
ment stores has been given much at
tention recently is brought out in an
article in the current Bell Telephone
Quarterly written by John M. Shaw,
general information manager of the
Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Companies, operating in Maryland,
Virginia, West Virginia and the Dis
trict of Columbia.
The article shows that there are in
the United States about 1000 depart
ment stores handling something like
a billion orders during a normal year.
At least one and one-half billion COM
munication transactions are involved
in the handling of this volume of bust
ness, which prompts Mr.. Shaw to ask
the question, "Why do not more people
use their telephones in dealing with
the department stores that serve
them? 1t is not because telephones
are not available to them, for tele-
phone is always closer to the buyer
than is the store itself. 1t is not be-
cause the stores lack delivery facil-
tiles, for their trucks ply the streets
Of all our cities on regular daily
schedules. And, strange as it may
seem, it is not because the shoppers
are rel'.c:s..::t to buy by telephone, for

These Iinemen work With a feel
ing of safety, knowing that their
body belts haze been thoroughly
tested by the Bell Telephone
Laboratories.
Looking to the safety, convenience
and comfort of telephone linemen, en-
gineers of the Bell Telephone Labora-
tories have now produced a body belt
and safety strap that produces the
maximum in comfort and safety. Not
only is the design of the safety belt
an improvement over previous types,
but there is assurance that the quality
of the leather is improved and that the
rings, buckles and snaps have been
thoroughly tested to see that no hid
den fault exists that might cause a
serious accident or death.
The quality of the leather, which
the manufacturer selects for fabrica-

development engineer of the telephone
laboratories, depends greatly on the
judgment and experience of the cutter
