West Street Pole Line New York City
T first the telephone was not much more than a neighborhood affair. In the early years following its introduction, the range of conversation was limited to a radius of a very few miles. Gradually this radius was extended, but it was not until the New York-Boston line was opened on March 27, 1884, eight years after the first complete sentence of speech was transmitted over the wires—that the telephone became more than a local utility. The successful completion of that line, however, was an epoch-making event in the history of Long Distance telephony.
It marked the turning point in the history of the telephone. From then on a national telephone system became merely a matter of time. However, there were many obstacles to be overcome before that dream could become a reality. It was a task requiring the highest engineering and scientific skill, but when the telephone ploneers found that the telephone not only would talk for one mile, but for one hundred miles, they never wavered in their efforts, and one by one the barriers of speech transmission were overcome.
In the beginning all the telephoning was over a single iron wire with grounded circuits. Only a single wire on a pole was used. Then came the discovery of the process of hardening copper wire, the substitution of a pair of wires for a single wire with grounded circuit, the development of the crossarm on telephone poles whereby many wires could be carried on the same pole, and the transposition of telephone circuits, minimizing the interference with other telephone circuits and of high power electric light and feed wires.
With the increase in the use of the telephone as the range of transmission was gradually lengthened, the number of wires jumped from the hundreds to the thousands, and in large centers some streets became black with wires. To support this mass of wires, poles rose to fifty feet in height, then sixty-seventy-eighty. Finally, the highest of all pole lines was built along West Street, New York, where the Long Distance circuits from New England entered the city. These poles were ninety feet high, each carrying thirty crossarms and three hundred wires.
In the meantime, however, telephone engineers had been at work on the development of underground transmission so that when the overhead wires began to be a menace in the large cities, it was possible to place them in cables which were developed so that now smaller gage wires carry as many as 20 old days it would twenty-four separate each with ten cross care of that many wires.
Early in the present effort to increase theversation was made the application of tung coil, the invention M.I. Pupin of Columbia. The loading coil, placed intervals in Long Distance reduces the energy permits longer talk. Other developments phantom circuit which telephone circuits to independent circuit current telephony will possible to transmit several telephone a telephone circulation of the repeal amplifier to Long Distance has further increased of Long Distance to only last fall and supplanted the open between New York and thus made power virtually free from

LEGION NOTES
War to the finish has been declared
upon the "Young Pioneers of America"
and kindred organizations by James K.
Fisk, state adjutant of the American
Legion, who declares that group "red"
to the nth degree.
"Under the surface of the so-called
youth movement which is being appealingly placed before our schools,
churches and women's organizations,
we find purposes which are aimed at
the very destruction of our government
and, in fact, of the foundations of
civilization." Adjutant Fisk says.
"The Pioneer Youth of America, a
chapter of which has recently organized
in Los Angeles in its appeal to the
children of workers, is an organization
highly radical in its teachings, and is
approved and sponsored by leading
'reds' throughout the country. Other
'youth' societies which demand of their
members what is known as the slackers'
oath are appearing in certain of our
communities. The Legion will never
sit quietly by and see the Boy Scouts,
the Campfire Girls and kindred societies
that are doing so much good among
the children of the land undermined
and attacked by these 'youth' organizations born in Russia and now being
transplanted to America. The campagion of publicity will be enforced and
all loyal citizens called upon to guard
their homes."
Observation of Memorial Day, Sunday,
May 30, by the American Legion posts
of the state, has been requested by the
state officials of the ex-service men's
organization.
Religious observance of Memorial
Sunday on the part of American Legion
members, as well as participation in
the customary Memorial Day exercises
in the various communities, has been
asked by William E. Patrick of Bakersfield, national chaplain of the Legion.
KIWANIS CLUB
Kiwanis Club at the Mother's Day
meeting, on Tuesday, was addressed by
the Ret. Rev. W. B. Stevens of the
Episcopal diocese of Los Angeles.
Bishop Stevens spoke very beautifully
of Mothers, stressing the fact that in
the ideals of our mothers are found the
best and most effective remedy for the
many ills of which the nation is now
suffering. By living up to these ideals
day by day we are doing our part in
redeeming our country from the socalled crim wave which is besetting it.
Many of the Kiwanians were accompanied by either their mothers or wives
and several were fortunate in that they
were able to bring both. Dr. Haywood
of the White Temple Methodist church
was toastmaster and was very happy in his remarks. The program closed with music contributed by members of the club.
"500" CLUB
Miss Winfred Melrose was hostess to
the Wednesday afternoon "500" Club
yesterday. After enjoying the 1 o'clock
lunchonce, the ladies played five hundred during the afternoon. Mrs. Harbison was high score and was presented with the first prize, while Mrs. Zeppenfeld captured the booby prize for getting the lowest score. Mrs. Harbison, Mrs.
Phegley, Mrs. Harry Pearson and Mrs.
Zeppenfeld were invited to substitute for absent members. Miss Anna Ryan will entertain the club at the next meeting.

Fumie Yamagisawa, 13-year-old Japanese girl of Berkeley, winner of the state prize for California in the American Legion's essay contest, has been presented with a silver medal by the state officers of the Legion, in addition to having her essay entered in the $1500 scholarship competition of the organization.
Here is the flag creed which won for the little Japanese girl the first prize over all the essays submitted by thousands of California students:
"I pledge allegiance to you, flag of my United States in word and in deed. I believe that you will help me to be a loyal citizen both in peace and war. I believe that you will lead the world, not only in strength, but in righteousness; I believe that your stars are the shining symbol of the eternal brotherhood of men in the world. Old Glory," as I stand and salute your heroic colors of Red, White and Blue. I promise to follow your ideals of 'Liberty, Justice and Peace,' not only for America, but for the world.
"I hereby pledge on my word of honor that this flag creed is of my own composition."

C. E. Jackson in Race for Sheriff
Makes Formal Announcement of Candidacy to County Voters
C. E. Jackson, former sheriff of Orange county, today made formal announcement of his candidacy for election to the office of sheriff of Orange county. While it has been understood for several weeks that Jackson was in the race, he today stated, through newspaper announcements, what he says will be a vigorous drive for votes from now until the August primaries.
"I am known to most of the people of this county," said Jackson in his statement, "and to them I merely wish to say that I shall appreciate their support. My old friends have rallied to my support. To the newcomers I wish to say that I feel that I am fully qualified for the position. I am sure that my record through eight years as constituent of Santa Ana township, from 1806 to 1914, and eight years as sheriff, 1915-1923, justifies me in submitting my candidacy. I pledge myself to conduct the office honestly and fairly. I pledge myself to enforce all laws without fear or favor."
Jackson has been a resident of Orange county since 1888. His first vote was cast for the separation of Orange county from Los Angeles county.
Friends of Jackson who are backing his candidacy say that throughout his career as an officer he was energetic, quick to respond to all calls, conscientious and capable—Adv.
