marine cables across the bottom of the
Potomac River to connect the private
branch exchange with Washington and
the world. This was the largest num-
Der of submarine telephone cables ever
laid at one time.
The twelve cables, weighing 25O
tons, were manufactured at Western
Electric's Point Breeze Works, near
Baltimore, Nd, on the largest cable
armoring machine ever constructed.
Eleven of the cables carry 91S pairs
of wire each, while the remaining one
carries 460 pairs. These vital tele-
phone lifelines are sheathed against
the hazards of underwater service
with successive protective layers sof
lead, jute and steel wire armoring.
Wound on huge reels, the cable was
transported from Baltimore down the
Chesapeake Bay and up the Potomac
on barges equipped with special
mounts.
When the heavily laden barges
reached Arlington, they moved slowly
cross-river, paying out the cables into
pre-dredged trenches on the river
bottom. A diver walked the river bed
in the wake of the barges and guided
the cables as they settled.
Meanwhile, within the partially
completed Pentagon Building itself
Western Electric installers were work
ing round the clock to complete install
lation Of the big dial switchboard. In
full operation it will be stated by 25O

about eating as wisely as we

Of the 1882 interviews made,
it is found that about 27.7 per

more protective foods than two
years ago. Marked increases
were made in the consumption of
citrus fruits.
Most women like to cook, it

NEW METHOD SAVES
RUBBER ON TYPE
WRITER CYLINDERS

Substantial savings in the rubber
used for typewriter cylinders are now
possible as a result of experiments re-
Gently carried out at the Bell Tele-
phone Laboratories in New York City.
The rubber on the average typewriter
roller weighs about pound.
With extensive use, typewriter cyl
inders become hard and glazed, and no
longer hold paper securely. When this
occurs, it has been customary to
return them to the factory to have the
old rubber removed and new rubber
put in it's place. It has been estimated
that from fifty to one hundred thou
sand cylinders need to be renewed
each month. Since each roller contains
about one pound of rubber, this meant
a million pounds of rubber each year!
Most of the million pounds or so Of
rubber requirements can be saved, ac-
cording to Bell Laboratories scientists
who tackled the problem for their
own organization, which uses nearly
1000 typewriters. They developed a
process of sand blasting old rubbers,
removing ink and dirt and forming q
new surface which they consider in
some ways even superior to the
original.
A cylinder is sand blasted for two
or three minutes with steel grit under
air pressure. The reduction in the
diameter of the cylinder is less than
two-thousandths Of an inch. The
Laboratories reports that cylinders
thus treated have had hard service in
the Laboratories for more than six
months without needing further treat
ment.
Complete information has been
given by the Laboratories to the Office
of Price Administration in Washing
ton, which approved the use Of the
process to help conserve rubber, and
furnished the public with information
about it.

Press Reports

Washington, D. c., Is "about the
drinzingest city in the United
States," the Times-Herald reported
in May, quoting testimony at q
House subcommittee hearing.
Thomas E. Lodge, chairman Of the
Alcoholic Beverage Control Board.
testified that the per capita con-
sumption Of alcoholic liquor was
greater in the District than In COM
parable areas Of the nation and that
such consumption has increased SUBJ
stantially in both beer and spirits.
This brought the comment from
Subcommittee Chairman George H.
Mahon (D) Of Texas that: There
seems to be tendency to reduce
most commodities that are compa-
rable. Sugar is rationed; tires are
rationed; they are cutting the cuffs
off trousers. What about liquor con-
sumption?"
The midland journal., 1942-11-06

which will not be moved to the new
building. When the entire commune
cations system has been completed, it
is estimated that the big switchboard
and it's smaller satellite will serve
more than 10000 telephones.
Because of its unusual size, the new
switchboard called for much original
development work by engineers of Bell
Telephone Laboratories, Western Elec-
trio and the telephone company. In
normal installation of this type, an
operators hand can reach only limited
number of lines, while the require
ments of the new switchboard make it
necessary for her to reach as many as
5000 station lines, as well as 2,280
trunk lines. In order to accommodate
this unusually large number of extern
sion lines, the Laboratories designed
unique system enabling the operators
to handle every line.
The telephone cables within the
Pentagon Building itself will, when
completed, contain nearly $50 million
feet of wire. To connect the buildings
switchboard with the satellite across
the river calls for more than 1,500
trunk lines. Trunks and tie lines to
long distance, to other government
departments, and the interdepart-
mental switchboard connecting vari-
Gus governmental offices, require
another 7SO trunk lines. Bell System
statisticians have figured that the wire
used in these various trunks runs to
1854 million feet-enough to girdle the
globe nearly three times.

directly affects mental alertness. In
addition to that, iodine prevents
simple goiter and also affects how
you tip the scales.
Rich in iodine are seafoods, so
make a point of including them in

Now other foods are joining the VIC
tory parade and new dishes are
joining hands at the table to blitz
their way to food fame. The nu-
triton rule which is rapidly gain
ing popularity is the one which says
that if you miss one food combina-
ton at one meal, you must pick it
up at another meal so you'll get all
the energy units you need these
busy days.
That's why today I'm offering you
combinations of food which contain
nutrients easy to miss if you're not
careful. Take iron, for instance.
Iron is a mineral that has big
job to do for your system. 1t sees
to it that your energies don't lag
and guards against anemia and gen.
eral digestive disturbances.
Biggest job of all that iron does
is to see that your body gets all the
oxygen it needs by making enough
red blood cells to 60 through that
7,OOO-mile long circulatory system
that will replenish with oxygen and
carry off the poisonous carbon di-
oxide which is another word for the
oxygen after you finished using it..
Now the thing about iron is that
it's difficult to find it in a great
many foods. You can see how i'm
portant it is because you need it
every day. You'll find iron in eggs,
whole wheat cereals and oatmeal,
for instance. Suppose you skip these
things at breakfast. That means
you've got to pick up iron in one of
the other two meals, for instance,
by having some iron-rich food like
liver, heart, oysters, greens, dried
fruits. Do you follow?
That's why today I'm including
several iron-rich foods so you will
be sure not to miss day without
having something with iron.

ice breakers are essential to Naval
