Harding forever’—and then—” “That will do,” I said, firmly. “When Al and I get started on a serious dis- “Wait a min- cussion, we don’t care to be inter- rupted by—” “Well,” said Pete, “you asked me what I would do to-day, didn’t you?” He edged toward the door as he spoke. “Yes,” I said. “And I told you,” his coat and hat, to-day. And if—” He was interrupted by the opening of our door and the entrance of Bill Moore from the room above. “Coming to Latin?” asked Bill. said he, grabbing “what I would do “Latin?” said Al, turning pale. “Latin? Why, there isn’t any class to-day!” “Who says so?” asked Bill. “Why—Pete,” I replied. “Didn't you, Pete—didn’t you say that—” I sprang to the door. Three flights below I heard a voice—the voice of a man singing. It was Pete’s voice— and he was singing, “I've got the Omnipotent Blues.” When I re-entered the room, Al was buckling up his ga- loshes. He silently handed me my overcoat, my hat and my Latin book. Then he pointed to the calendar on my desk. “This happens to be,” he said grimly, “the first of April.” Cuticura Soap IS IDEAL: For the Hands Soap, Ointment, Talcum,25c.everywhere.

UNDERGROUND LINES AERIAL LINES BUILDINGS ~~ SWITCHBOARDS TELEPHONES Breaking Construction Records Since 1920, faced with the greatest demand for service in telephone history, the Bell System has surpassed all previous records for the installation of new telephone equipment. In the last two years more than 1,000,000 additional stations have been added to the system by construction. This is equal to the entire number of telephones in Great Britain. In 1921 alone, 450,000 new poles were placed—enough to make a telephone line from New York to Hong Kong. The aerial wire put into service in the same year, 835,000 miles in all, is enough to string 60 wires on such a telephone line. 1,875,000 miles of wire, en- closed in 1,500 miles of cable, _toward Better Service were added to underground and submarine lines in 1921. New underground duct totaling 11,000,000 feet was constructed, this representing approximately 300 miles of subway. 69 new central office buildings and im- portant additions were com- pleted or in progress, and new switchboards with a capacity of many thousands of connections were installed. This equipment added to the Bell System, great though it is in volume and value, represents but a small part of the vast property which enables the tele- phone on your desk to give the service to which you are accus- tomed. And to meet the in- creasing demands for new service, the work of construction goes on. q “BELL SYSTEM” AMERICAN TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH COMPANY AND ASSOCIATED COMPANIES One Policy, One System, Universal Service, and all directed THE LIMIT “Bump is awfully hen- pecked.” “Yes; his wife lets him eat only the things which agree with her.” HUM, HUM!
