great mechanism that so miraculously
links human voices in chain that
can travel on occasion across the vast
expanses of the oceans or even forge
a tie of words between a man with
the clouds at his feet and the desk

tity as human beings with personal
emotions as they sit before that
board somehow. They become part of

passionate as the cords and plugs
themselves, efficiently submerging the
personal in the exacting routine of
their Offices.

WHEN 1t Is realized that this year

of the system will be gained. This
number of telephones is 200 more than
last year, and so every girl must ham
die about 100 telephones in her 'po-
sition."
Naturally, some Of these telephones
are in more frequent use than others.

WITH Representatives growing more
~ accustomed daily to depend upon
the telephone for the conduct of their
affairs, both personal and national,
the system was growing complicated,
particularly in view of the fact that
as yet no central exchange service had
been inaugurated and every call was
still an outside matter.
Congressman and Senators, too,
were having growing pains. It began
to strike them as mseemly to have to
lean against marble pillar in a public
corridor and discuss the crops back
home with constituent who was kept
standing upon his feet. They wanted
some kind of an Office into which they
might invite their visitors and where
they might dispense hospitality-in-
cluding offering a seat-to those whose
votes would count In the next elec-
ton. Besides. they were taking upon
themselves more Of the dignity of Of

gatherings such informal and chatty
affairs. More passing of one another

being done than formerly. Not SO
