PAGE FOUR MANY PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED IN BUILDING AMERICA'S NETWORK OF Standard Open Wire Toll Line Loading Pot Inter-City Aerial Cable Toll Loading Pot Inter-City Aerial Cable Tollway It is a far cry from the single-wire telephone lines of less than half a century ago to the great arteries of communication afforded by the open-wire or cable lines of today. These modern pathways of speech form a network which crosses and recrosses the continent and provide a nation-wide universal telephone service for the users of more than 17,000,000 interconnected telephone instruments. So rapid has been the development of telephone service in America, particularly during the past two or three decades, that it is sometimes difficult to realize that this remarkable expansion of wire facilities has not been brought about by the touch of some magician's wand. The building up of this vast system of communication equipment, however, has been made possible by a series of isolated achievements, each important in itself, but of the greatest value only when considered as related to other accomplishments in entirely different fields. The first telephone lines consisted of single iron wires, supported on trees, poles or housetops. As a circuit is required in order to transmit the voice, the line was "grounded" and the earth used as the return portion of the speech pathway. Telephone lines constructed on this principle were noisy, and it was impossible to talk over them for more than a relatively short distance. Various methods were tried in the effort to get rid of the undesirable noises which interfered with transmission, but none proved really satisfactory until an all-metalic circuit was adopted—that is, two wires were used instead of a single wire and a ground return. It was found, too, that iron wire was not entirely suited to telephone purposes, and efforts were made to substitute some other metal for it. Copper proved to be an ideal substitute, but the soft copper wire then sold commercially could not be used successfully, since it had a tendency to stretch from its own weight, causing the wires to sag, with a whole train of resultant difficulties. After a considerable amount of experimentation a method of drawing copper without heating it was discovered, and "hard-drawn" copper wire became the standard conductor for telephone purposes. With this discovery, a great advance had been made toward conquering some of the most difficult problems the early telephone engineers had to face. But others still remained to be solved.

The suits Material Cable Toll Lines Repeater Installation One of them was "cross-talk" or interference between two telephone lines when run parallel to each other, unless separated by a considerable distance. It was at first believed that this interference would make it impossible to run more than a single circuit on a pole line. Telephone engineers attacked this problem and finally discovered that the difficulty could be remedied by transposing the parallel lines at suitable intervals. When this system had been adopted, it became possible to use a number of wires, supported by cross-arms, on a single line of pole. With this step the familiar type of open-wire telephone line, now quite generally used in rural sections, came into being. But for many purposes the open-wire line did not prove entirely satisfactory. In cities and villages the number of wires increased with increasing traffic, the poles became unsightly and often dangerous, and steps had to be taken to perfect a telephone cable which would overcome these difficulties. The story of the development of the telephone cable as used in underground and aerial construction throughout the Bell System today is a romance itself and cannot be treated at this time in detail. One marked advantage of aerial cable construction is that the cables are much less likely to damage by natural forces, particularly sheet storms, than are the heavily loaded open-wire lines, some of which carry as many as fifty or sixty wires. An aerial cable line has recently been completed and put into service between New York and Chicago, giving these two great cities a toll service practically immune from storm damage. Perhaps most baffling of the obstacles which for some years obstructed the development of long-distance service was the tendency of the telephone speech current to diminish in strength the farther it travels. Two pieces of supplementary apparatus—the loading coil and the telephone repeater—have made it possible to overcome this difficulty and are essential factors in providing long distance service as America knows it today. The loading coil increases the efficiency of the circuit and in effect cuts down this loss of energy. The repeater picks up the travel-weary telephone current, renews its strength and sends it on its way with sufficient energy to carry it to the next repeater station, where the process is repeated. One of the essential features of repeater equipment is a vacuum tube, similar to those with which every radio enthusiast is familiar, but manufactured with greater precision. LOAFING ACRES MADE TO WORK Reforesting Large Areas From Which Timber Has Been Cut A leafer gives nothing to society. He is not an asset, but a liability. The same is true of leafing acres. So the question of profitable land use is becoming more and more important here in California as our logged-off lands increase. Already we have 1,500,000 acres of waste forest land. The lumber industry in the pine region of the Sierra and coast range cuts over each year some 60,000 acres or more of forest. Some of this is on national forest lands, where by reserving thriftier trees and saving the young the Jefferson high school, Los Angeles, and Emma Ommundson of the Golden Gate high school, Oakland. The first prize winner is a student at one of the schools in which the study of public safety has been introduced in the curriculum by the Automobile Club of Southern California, in cooperation with the school authorities. The essay of the young winner was on the subject of "Sharing Traffic Responsibility," and reads as follows: "The key word in solving our traffic situation is co-operation—co-operation must help the other. When we go to the root of 'traffic troubles,' it brings us to the Golden Rule: 'Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.' Therefore, I, as a pedestrian, should do everything in my power to help the driver, and when I change from a pedestrian to a driver, my responsibility becomes even greater.

Legion Notes Announcement that the American Legion, through its national Americanization commission, is to continue the observance of American Education Week made by State Adjutant James K. Fisk, following word received from the national officers of the Legion. Plans for holding the week, which has been observed in November, are now being worked out by the Legion, Fisk said. Definite dates are to be announced later. American Education Week was instituted by the Legion in 1921, and more than 150 organizations co-operate in the observance.

So the question of profitable land use is becoming more and more important here in California as our logged-off lands increase. Already we have 1,500,000 acres of waste forest land. The lumber industry in the pine region of the Sierra and coast range cuts over each year some 60,000 acres or more of forest. Some of this is on national forest lands, where by reserving thrifty trees and saving the young growth, a forest cover is maintained. But a large part is private land, where through clear cutting, the use of high power logging machinery, and carelessness with fire, the land is left with no start towards a new forest. Idle forest lands pay no wages. They do not build prosperity. Our loafing nests must be put to work and kept at work growing forest crops, if we are to have permanent prosperity. To do this several things are necessary. The forest crop must be properly harvested. Seed trees of valuable timber species must be left—not scrub stuff that has no market value. The young, growing trees must be protected from injury during logging. Natural reforestation must be encouraged. Forest fires must be prevented. And there must be a scientific revision of our forest tax laws. Automobile Notes A Southern California miss, a junior in the Santa Maria high school, wrote the best essay on safety among 11,000 students who competed in the state essay contest conducted by the California public safety conference, under the auspices of the women's department of the California Development Association. The young winner is Ida S. Wilson, who was awarded first prize of $25. Other winning essays were written by Alice Garvin of the Polytechnic high school of San Francisco, who was awarded second prize of $15, and Buster Koch of the Onestimba Union high school of Newman, California, who received third prize of $10.

Arrangements for the transportation of the California veterans of the World war and their relatives who will make up the state's quota of representatives to the 1927 national convention of the American Legion at Paris, France, have been completed, George J. Hatfield, United States attorney here and member of the American Legion "On to France" committee, reports. The veterans from this state are to be transported to New York in a special train, where they will embark on one of the French line boats for the trip abroad. According to Hatfield, more than 30,000 war veterans and their friends are to attend the Parts convention.

FOREST CONSERVATION The Native Sons of the Golden West at their recent forty-ninth Grand Parlor, in Santa Rosa, adopted two resolutions calling upon all members of the order to actively sponsor the protection and wise use of the timber and other valuable natural resources of the state, and to join each year in the national observance of American Forest Week. Grand President H. E. Welch of Lodi, in accordance with the intent of the resolutions, has announced the appointment of a special committee on forestry and reforestation, consisting of Past Grand President H. C. Lichtenberger of Los Angeles, George D. Radcliffe, chairman State Board of Control; Harvey M. Toy, chairman State Highway Commission; Roy W. Cloud, histrographer of the Grand Parlor, and Richard L. P. Bigelow, supervisor of the Tahoe National Forest. This committee, Chairman Lichtenberger states, will meet at an early date to formulate a comprehensive forestry, fire prevention and tree planting program for the Native Sons' parlors throughout California. MILK AND ITS CARE Milk is essential for infants and the most valuable food for children. It is the one food containing all of the elements necessary to bodily growth, but unfortunately milk is the most easily contaminated of all foods. Even the best of milk contains many germs, but as a rule they are not the kind which produce disease. Germs in milk come from dust in the air, from hay or straw and from manure in the stable. They also come from the hands of the milker and from unclean milk utensils. These germs cause milk to turn sour and spoil, though they may not cause actual illness in infants except when their number is very great. Besides, the germs of certain diseases like typhoid fever, diphtheria, scarlet fever and certain forms of sore throat may be carried through milk. All of these things make it very important that those who produce, transport and handle milk should exercise the greatest possible care to prevent contamination. A soil survey in Colusa county showed that soil that had been sub-soiled enjoyed a 50 per cent greater penetration of moisture than plowed soil. The Yucaipa valley, San Bernardino county, had 7.75 inches of rain in April and 19.79 inches for the season. Genuine BAYER ASPIRIN SAY "BAYER ASPIRIN" and INSIST!
