Bettine Field
Marriage

The marriage of Bettine Field,
daughter of Marshall Field, Iii,
millionaire publisher, to Eldridge
Bruce, ex-Pullman porter, is re-
vealed in the new issue of Con-
fidential Magazine ION sale Janu-
airy 5th).
The Field heiress now lives in
England with her husband and
their mulatto son, the magazine
states. The couple became man
and wife in 1851 after her divorce
from DR.. Mark Goodall, Jr. a Vir-
ginia physician.
Describing the former debutante
as a rebel in her social set, Con-
fidential says her wedding to the
Negro porter was hushed up
thoroughly. Also kept under wraps
was the disposal of the case that
involved guardianship of a daugh-
ter by the marriage to DR.. Goodall
who told the New York Supreme
Court his ex-wife's new domestic
arrangements caused him utmost
concern for his daughters welfare,
happiness and spiritual health.
Bettine, in turn, shouted racial in
tolerance. In the end Bettine had
to give up her child by the first
marriage for nine months of the
year.
Confidential says Bettine and
her current husband are living in
a section of Londan where there
are no racial problems. The heir
ess tells her friends, however, she's
coming back to America in the
near future to continue the fight
for racial equality.
Confidential points out that
when Marshall Field set aside
$11, OOO, 900 in 1910 to endow the
Field Foundation he intended a
good part Of it would be spent on
~interracial relations. He never ex-
pected, the magazine infers, to
have any ~interracial relations of
his own.

More than half of Iceland's
telephones are in its capital city,
Reykjavik, as is 40 per cent of its

France, Japan, Sweden, Italy,
Australia, Switzerland, Argentina
and the Netherlands, in that

Telephone service in the United
States is supplied by some 4,800
private companies, together with
thousands of connecting rural OF
farmer lines and systems.
Prior to 1927, the telephones
of only three other countries
could be connected with Bel
system telephones. These were
Canada, Mexico and Cuba. Ii

by the Northwestern Bell Tele-
phone Company in Nebraska in

phone service, according to w. d.
Alf, District Manager of the Tele-
phone Company.
This has included changing tele-
phones in fourteen exchanges to

by ITO in the past year, from $500
to 1910.
A large part of the Nebraska
telephones added during the year
were in Omaha where the total
number increased from 1874, TAB to
about 145, 600. Since 1915, Omaha
has added nearly $4,000 tele-
phones, an average of about SOC
a month. The average number Of
telephone calls per day climbed
from FAC, 1000 to around 300, 900.

J. l. Taylor, Commander
Roosevelt Post No.. 80
Of American Legion Dies

The Members of Theodore
Roosevelt Post No. 30, the Amer
lean Legion and all of Omaha
was stunned by the sudden pas
sing of their Commander, j. L.
Taylor.
Commander Taylor with wife
and friends were visiting in cele-
bration of the New Year. Shortly
after the departure of his New
Years guest, and after kneeling
in prayer at the stroke of the
bells for ushering in the New
Year Commander Taylor suddenly
passed.
The State, County and Local
Legionnaires will long remember
the untiring efforts of Comman-
der Taylor to build and develop
the Legion program of the Post
second to none in the Country.
Commander Taylor worked and
labored to fulfil his Christian pro-
gram in the Legion, ''That no ex-
serviceman, his wife and family
should be denied of any right or
privilege offered by the American
Legion, either locally, State or
National!" Commander Taylor liv-
ed, worked and died rendering
service to his buddies. The mem-
bers of the American Legion,
locally, State or Nationally have
lost their leader, whose heart
and soul were devoted to the
principle of service to his fellow
: man.
Commander Taylor was elected
Commander three consecutive
wears, and passed away while
serving his third term.
He left to mourn his passing,
a devoted wife, Elloise and daugh
ter Christine Larson, and members
of the American Legion, locally
state and national, and a hos
of friends and admirers.

In keeping pace with Omaha's
growth and increased telephone
requirements, the telephone comp
any spent about $4,350,000 in 1855.
Building construction included a
new central office at Goth and
Western Avenue and three tele-
phone garages. One in the west
ern part of the city was completed
early in the year and two others
were built = one in the north
part of Omaha and one in the
south. In midi December, ground
was broken at 10th and Dodge for
a t~welve-story telephone building
which is to be completed in 1857.
In 1855 as in 1854, a large part
Of the total expenditure in Omaha
was to provide more telephone
cable and wire to serve residents
in recently developed areas and
to increase wire facilities in older
sections of the city. Some
$50, 000,0 900 conductor feet were
placed during the year. Sizes Of
cable ranged from rs to 2,121
pairs.
With the increase in telephones,
about 100000 was spent for equip
ment additions in Omaha central
offices. The largest project of
this kind is the installation of
equipment in the new Terrace
office which will be completed and
placed in service about the middle
of 1856.
During 1855, it was increasingly
evident that Omaha people are be-
coming more telephone minded
regarding use of additional tele-
phones in their homes. More
than one-third Of the total tele-
phones added were residence ex-
tensions.
In the entire territory the North
western Bell company serves in
Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, North
Dakota and South Dakota, more
than 100000 telephones were add
ed in 1855 bringing the total to
over 100000 - more than twice
as many as at the start of World
War II.
The company's construction pro-
gram for 1855 was the largest ever
= $62 million or nearly $4,000
for every working hour during the
year. This included fifty-four new
buildings and building additions,
$4,000 miles of long distances cir
cults, $1,000 new poles, 1900 in
stallatiOns of switching equipment
in central offices, SO dial CONVEX
sions, and considerable replace
ment of outmoded and worn equip
ment. About S. million was spent
on buildings alone.
Telephone users talked more
frequently during the year. For
the company as a whole, the aver
age was nearly 1000 calls every
minute during 1855, or a total Of
SO billion conversations for the
year.
The number Of long distance
calls also was up 80 IL per cent
over 1854. Nearly one-third Of
the long distance calls originating
in Northwestern Bell exchanges
were dialed directly by the opera
tor to the telephone called.
Another noticeable development
in long distance telephoning is
that more people are saving them
selves time by calling by number.
From business telephones, for ex-
ample, "a per cent of all long dis
lance calls are now placed by num-
Der.

velopments of 1855 including put

ment for a considerable number

offices. Also, the percentage Of
telephones in color increased
greatly.
