We got a thrill out of the the little heroine here rose to the occasion, even though we never quite forgave the author for stretching the India rubber arm of coincidence as far as it would go and snapping her back into. spinsterhoo: However, there is a curious differen between finding your soul by such method in fiction, and in fact. Tn fic everybody's sympathy except hodist deacons in the story. In zinst you every mother’s is arrested And that is somethi we are not philosopher enough to explain But we know that it makes many an actual transgression seem slimy, which no doubt is really as beautiful as the love of the two poor timid creatures in this book.

Multiplying Man-power To the man with pick and shovel the digging of holes for telephone poles is a slow and arduous task. Under favorable soil conditions three to five holes are for him an average day’s work. Under adverse condi- tions perhaps he can account for only one. When the hole is dug, eight or ten men are required to raise the pole with pikes. But the hole-borer with derrick attached, operated by only three men, can erect as many as eighty poles in a day—releasing for other telephone work upwards of forty men. Hundreds of devices to quicken telephone construc- tion, to increase its safety to the employee, and to effect economies are being utilized in the Bell System. Experi- ments are constantly being made to find the better and shorter way to do a given job. Each tool invented for the industry must be developed to perfection. In the aggregate these devices to multiply man-power mean an enormous yearly saving of time, labor and money throughout the whole Bell System. Without them telephone service would be rendered neither as promptly, as efficiently nor as economically as it is to-day. “BELL SYSTEM” AND ASSOCIATED COMPANIES One Policy, One System, Universal Service, and all directed toward Better Service Re tat and $5 @ month, L.
