Darley Dale H, I must be in Darley Dale be- fore the sun dips low, But can't tell, for the life of me, the way which I should go; For if I take the one road there's Anabel to see, And if I take the other road there is sweet Margery. Within the eyes of Anabel there is a laughing lure, The starry eyes of Margery are like the Cynosure; Thongh Anabel’s are larkspur-blue and Margery’s are brown, If I should think to drown myself, in both I'd like to drown. The ‘ovely lips of Anabel are like a crimson pink, Margery’s seem a tulip cup that tempts a man to drink; .air of one has morning glints, the other's twilight hues; The voice of each is melody. Pray, how am I to choose? Wh The If \nabel starts marketing, the friendly grasses stir; If Margery on an errand trips, the rushes bow to her; Of both of them keep gossiping the leaves of every tree; can I tell if Anabel or Mar- gery’s for me? Oh, | must be in Darley Dale before the sun dips low, But can’t say, for the heart of me, the way which I should go! Clinton Scollard.

H. 1,820,000 Telephones Moved In the telephone business every day is “moving day.” Telephone subscribers are prob- ably the most stable and perma- nent portion of our population; yet during the past year one telephone out of every seven in the Bell System was moved from one place of residence or busi- ness to another at some time dur- ing the year. The amount of material and labor, and the extent of plant changes involved in ‘‘station movement” are indicated by the fact that this item of service cost the Bell System more than $15,000,000 in 1921. To most people, the connect- ing or disconnecting of a tele- phone seems a simple operation of installing or removing the instrument. As a matter of fact, in every case it necessitates changes in the cables and wires overhead or underground. It also necessitates changes in cen- tral office wires and switchboard connections; in subscribers” accounts and directory listings; and frequently requires new “drop” lines from open wires or cables. The problems of station move- ment are among the large prob- lems of the telephone service. Because of the double operation of disconnecting and re-connect- ing, the work involved is often twice as great as in the case of new subscribers. With nearly 2,000,000 changes a year, it is only by the most expert manage- ment of plant facilities that Bell service is enabled to follow the subscriber wherever he goes. “BELL SYSTEM” AMERICAN TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH COMPANY AND ASSOCIATED COMPANIES Rus” Better Service Wedding Bells Ring for Journalist and Heiress E was a headline writer for a daily newspaper.
