BELL SYSTEM
GROWS STEADILY
Annual Report of A. T. & T. Co.
Shows America Far Ahead
of Foreign Countries
in Telephony.
Forty-live years after the Invention
of the telephone Europe lius only one
telephone to each 100 of the popula
tion, while the United States has
nearly 13 telephones to ehch 100 In
habitants. Two-thirds of the world'*
telephones are in our country. Thla
Is an Indication of the steadily grow
ing demand for telephone service and
of the success achieved in meeting that
demand.
The year ending December 31, 1921,
was a year which on review shows
good progress in the things consid
ered most constructive:
The new stock issue added materi
ally to the strengtli of the financial
structure.
The ability to fill new applications
for service, promptly, was more nearly
approached.
The quality of both exchange and
toll service steadily improved.
The efficiency of the whole operating
force increased and is increasing.
The development of the art of tele
phony by research and invention, and
by their application to the construc
tion and operation of plant, was ex
ceptionally noteworthy.
While gross earnings did not in
crease as might have been expected
had business been normal, net earnings
more than held their own.
Efforts were increased and broad
ened to bring about a better and more
sympathetic understanding of our pol
icies, problems and practices by .all of
the elements muklng up the public
served.
* nu > «i uc i nrr vijjri i,) in (lie
Bell System Companies is much in ex
cess of the book figures and as a re
sult the 5 per cent earned last year
on the book cost of their plant en
aided the American Telephone and
Telegraph Company, due to the con
servative finuneial structure of the
System, to show 11.1 per cent earnings
on its outstanding capital stock.
The American people depend upon
the Bell System for a nation-wide
service of an intimate nature which
must he improved and developed as
l he discoveries in science permit and
which must he extended to meet the
requirements of a growing population
and a growing use. The rates neces
sary to provide for the mutual welfare
of the public are, in tlie case of the
Bell System, well within the limit
permitted by law.
Among the important matters cov
ered in the report are the employees'
stock purchase plan in which over
100,000 employees are interested; the
development of the loud speaking tele
phone system which, by means of the
long-distance lines, carried the Armis
tice Day exercises to thousands across
the continent; the opening of the tele
phone cable to Cuba; and the devel
opment in radio telephony for public
usefulness.
During the past ten years, the in
vestment in plant and equipment of
the Bell System devoted to public
service is shown to have Increased 100
per cent.
The expansion of the telephone busi
ness in tlie I'nited States has been
enormously greater than the growth of
population or general business. In
twenty years the population lias in
creased 4f> tier cent while the number
of telephones has increased about 900
per cent.
At the pnd of the your there were
over 13,.'$80,000 owned iind connected
stations in tlie Hell System, two-thirds
of all the telephones in the world.
During 1921, alone, the net gain in
owned and connected telephones was
778.1184 and viewed from the stand
point of the value of the service to
user, this means that from each tele
phone connected with the Hell System,
it was possible at the end of 1921 to
reach over three-quarters of a million
more homes and places of business
than at the beginning of the year.
This remarkable growth in telephone
business also bears eloquent witness
of the worth of telephone service.
American standards of service and
equipment and the facts In respect to
telephone plant and station develop
ment afford substantial proof that the
telephone service in the United States
is the best and cheapest in the world.
THE SONG OF THE WIRES
By Mac, Engineering Department
N. Y. Telephone Co.
What is the song that the wires are
singing,
Out where the swallows and skylarks
are winging?
Over the mountain and over the plain.
Then winding their way o'er the moun
tains again.
Now in the sunlight of crisp early
morn,
They bring us anthem of happiness
born—
Kissed by the sharp wind, a bow <>a
the string,
A ballad of Life and of Youth do they
bring.
And now they are singing a mournful
refrain.
Plucked in the night by a wind-driven
rain.
Now chanting a lullaby, gentle anil
low.
Strummed by the touch of the soft
falling snow.
Oh, What is the song that the wires
are singing.
Out where the swallows and skylarks
are winging?
Community Musical
Has Fine Evening
One of lilt* most successful forms of
entertainment Riven in iliis borough in
tlie high class of its lierfonners was
the coinnmnit.v musieale Riven free to
all at tlie Cliffside Park High School!
on Saturday evening as a tilting close!
to tlie music week celebration of New
York and vicinity.
The program opened with a phono
graph solo, then a radio selection, and f
after that the real, live artists ap
peared.
J. Carter Troop, president of tlie
New York Lecturers' Association.)
spoke on tlie subject of music, good !
and had, and tlie dangerous tendency
of tile present music of tlie devil.
I >r. Sigmund St net h, former music I
editor of the Mail and Times and now
head of the Ampico educational depart
ment. spoke about the derivation of)
popular music from classical music,
and illustrated his remarks on the Am
pico.
Out of town artists included .1. Hel
en Jeffry, the well-known violinist, who I
played in her famous style, accompa
nied in one group of selections liy Mr.
Spencer of New York and in another
by t lie Ampico piano.
Sally Hamlin, another artist of wide
spread fame, gave one of her excellent
recitations and adapted it to a dance
to the music of tlie Ampico, winning
great applause.
The local artists who took part were
Mrs. Merrick of tJrnnfwood. who sang
several numbers in her usual charming
manner, and a string quartet, which
made its tirst appearance this evening,
receiving a great ovation for their tine
performance, the members being Pro
fessor Mirths, his son and Messrs. A! it I -
taler and Yoka, who have come from
Switzerland to reside in Cranlwood.
This wonderful entertainment was
made possible through the active co-op
eration of the Ampico people from New
York and their artists, with Mr. \V. S.

HELPFUL HINTS
TO GARDENERS
The home gardening senson Is Jtist
beginning, says The Telephone Re
view. If you are starting with It, you
should first prepare on paper a plan
of the garden indicating the amount
of space and location allotted to each
vegetable, the proper date on which
seed should be sown, the direction of
the rows and width between rows.
In general, the rows should run as
close to a north and south line as Is
practicable so that the sun will shine
on each side of the row for part of
the day.
Plan so that tall growing vegetables
will not shade the low-growing varie
ties, and be sure to leave plenty of
room between the rows to allow for
later tillage.
if you worked from a plan last year,
arrange so that the space occupied by
one variety lust senson will be given
to a different kind this season. Root
crops should be followed by leaf crops,
etc. Short season crops, such as early
beets, lettuce, etc., may be planted be
tween crops which occupy the ground
all season, such us corn and tomatoes.
The short season crops mature early
and are gathered before the all season
crops need all the space
A well thought out plan will save a
great amount of time and work
throughout the year.
When your plan Is complete, the re
quired amount of seed may be deter
mined. The seed should be purchased
early In order to insure the best selec
tion. Buy front a reliable seedsman.
Jt is very important that the soil ne
finely pulverized to the full depth of
the spading. While the garden is being
dug. well rotted stable manure should
he worked into tlie soil at the rate of
a wagon loud to every 1‘JOO square
feet. There is no danger of using 100
much. Professional market gardeners
spread tnunure three or four inches
deep on the surface before plowing it
Into the soil.
11 JUKI flu 1 1 J.'i lira*,*
application of fine coal aslios will
prove very beneficial, since the ashes
tend to loosen the soil, so that air may
circulate. Ashes also tend to as-lst
drainage and prevent evaporation.
Finely ground limestone or air
slaked lime applied at tlie rate of TOO
pounds per 1000 square feet is also
beneficial, especially on the heavy
soils. The lime corrects soil acidity,
and helps to change chemical condi
tions so that the plant food will be
come available for the use of plants.
After tlie ground Is prepared, it is
well to let it remain implanted for a
week, or so, in order to allow tlie weed
seeds in the soil to germinate. The
surface may then be gone over with
a sharp rake or hand cultivator, which
will destroy the young weeds.
A garden plot, well planned, and
well prepared is the biggest factor in
the success of the garden.
Hear In mind that a small plot, well
.-ared for, is far more productive than
a large plot which cannot be properly
cared for. Therefore, no more should
be attempted than can be well done.
TRAVELSACROSS
CONTINENT WITH
SPEED OF LIGHT
But One-Fiftieth of a Second Re
quired to Transmit the
Spoken Word From New
York to ’Frisco.
Measurements mu<le by the I’.ell tel
ephone engineers show that on an av
erage about 1/3 of u second Is required
for a telegraph sounder in San Fran
cisco to operate after the key is closed
In New York, although the Inltlul im
pulse travels across the continent witli
the speed of light. The propagation
of telephone currents, on the other
hand, is much more rapid. The trans
continental circuits ure open wires
and contain no loading coils and the
current builds up in them almost In
stantaneously so that the telephone
messages ure transmitted across the
continent In about one fiftieth of a
second, or practlcully the speed of
light, which is 180,000 miles a second.
In loaded circuits, and especially In
cable circuits, the telephone circuit
builds up much more slowly.
Along the surface of the conductor,
the electric Impulses travel with the
speed of light. The amount of cur
rent, however, which is conducted by
the surface layer of the wire is ex
tremely minute and is not sufficient to
operate a receiving Instrument.
After the Initial impulse has trav
eled over the surface of the wire, cur
rent builds up both on the sur
face and within the wire. The rate
at which this growth of current oc
curs on the surface of the wire de
pends upon the so-called electrical
characteristics of the circuit. The
building up of current within the wire
follows its growth on the surface by a
short intervul of time which depends
on the slate of the wire and the inetul
of which it is made.
After the current within the wire
has built up to a certain effective
value, it becomes large enough to op
erate the receiving instrument. The
delay, therefore, which occurs In the
transmission of messages results not
because the Initial current travels at a
low speed, but because an appreciable
length of time Is needed for It to build
up to an effective value.
Prehistoric Freight.
When the cargo of a ship was un
loaded recently at Portland. Ore., It
was discovered that a certain portion,
which was supposed to consist of
walrus tusks, proved to he the Ivory
tusks of the mastodon. Crafty Si
berian natives had substituted these
for the walrus Ivory which was or
dered. The cheaters, however, cheat
ed themselves, for In spite of its great
age the substitute was well preserved
and the large size of the tusks con
sequently made them more valuable.

Windmill Without a Wheel.
In South America there are to txi
seen occasionally a type of windmill
which is entirely without the big wind
wheel which is such an essential fea
ture of the power generators to !>•
seen in this country. A pivoted sur
face is balanced in such a way that
the wdnd gets under It and raises It,
and when it has thus I raveled to tint
end of Its run Its angle Is changed and
the wind brings it down again.
