Telephone Secrets

School Physicists
i 1phon subscribers of the next
'.ooado should have a far better
Knowledge of the actual workings of
tr. tolpphone system than their seniors
.tcaay. The I'hysics club of New
I'ork, an organization which includes
rracucauy all of the instructors of
ryslcal sciences in the Metropolitan
scholastic zone, celebrated its annual
election and business meeting by mak
ing an inspection of the laboratories
ir me western Electric company at
4 63 Wen street, New York city. The
niot modern transmission develop
ments were thoroughly explained to
the educators, a fact which is sure to
be reflected in a more comprehensive
unaersianoing or telephony among
ineir many thousand students
The new machine switching devices
which are now being introduced and
win automatically make connections
between subscribers seemed of panic
"iar interest to the professors. They
mso spent a considerable period watch
ing the manipulations of the repeaters
v nu n have made possible the trans
continental telephone.
lh Western Electric authorities
lemonstrated the actual development
f the telephone by taking the visitors
through the museum where they have
on exhibition the actual first inven
lions and their various stages of Im
provement right up to date. The gen
eration of electric current by means of
r.ochelle salta and the application of
this phenomenon in the use of its
crystals - both as telephone receivers
cd transmitters were eagerly studied
O .'he teachers
rt too conclusion of the inspection
trip the rhyslcs club convened for its
annual election of officers. The new
executives are all prominent in New
York high school circles. Morris
Melster. formerly instructor of physics
at Stuyvesant high school and now at
Teachers' college .Columbia university,
was elected president; Guy R. Thom-
of New TJtrecht high school. Brook
lyn, was chosen secretary: while the
new treasurer1 Is C. W. Lockwood, in
Mructor of physics at Stuyvesant.
Among the other members of the
rhysics club who attended the meet
ing were Augustus Klock, head of the
department of science at Ethical Cul
lure school: Raymond U. Brownlee,
head of the department of physics and
ngineering, Stuyvesant high school;
Thomas Cornish, head of the depart

Electricity Vital
Factor In Life
Electricity is a factor in life that is
taken too much for granted. Its uses
have become so vital and so wide
spread that most of us regard It , in
much the same manner as we do our
daily meals. It is there to be used
and we use it. We couldn't get along
without it and what's the use of both
ering about it. Unfortunately, the
average man and woman gives little
thought to the tremendous service of
brains and toil back of this thing we
call electricity.
You can't reach into the air and
itluck out a chunk of electricity and
make it do whatever you want done.
You can't go up into the polar re
gions or into the Jungles of Africa and
turn on a switch and get light. True,
there may be lots of electricity there
but it is not harnessed; it is not serv
iceable. To get it to "work" for us,
some one has to get it hooked up,
so that all we have to do is td press
a button or turn on a switch. All
this times time and money and In
genuity.
MoBt of us can easily look back to
tho time when we "got our home lee
sons" by oil lamps. Lots of us recall
the days, when we went to business on
horse drawn cars. We have things to
day which we only dreamed of then,
Kiectnicty nas worKea an tnese won
ders. But electricity is not as free as
the air. It has to be manufactured
just like anything else that we need
Yet nothing is manufactured that Is
not needed for more purposes than is
electricity
Figures show that the increase in the
use of electricity tor uiuminauon, ior
instance, is something quite astonish
ing. Take the year 1915. The best
records indicate that 3,434,900 homes In
the United States were using elec
tncity for lighting. Just five years
later this number had been increased
to 6,517,600, almost double in the space
of five years.
With electricity such a factor In the
world's progress, one would imagine
that electricity would become & more
ceneral topic of study In the schools
Mere boys and girls today know the
meaning of carburetor, ignition sys
tem and spark plug, as applied to au
tos, than understand the fmaning of
the terms used in electricity. It would
be valuable to our boys and girls who
must utilize more and more the serv
ice of electricity to have an early and
understandable knowledge of this all
powerful servant of man.
GIFT SUGGESTION LIST

IN DAYS GONE BY
A temperance lecturer displayed to
his audience two geraniums. The first
had been watered in the usual way
the other had been dosed with alcohol
and Its foliage was shriveled and
sparse, its stem twisted and its vital
ity decayed.
"Now. ladies and gentlemen," cried
the lecturer, "what can you say to
demonstration like that?"
"It's all right, and if I were a geran
ium," said a shabby man at the back of
the hall, "I'd stick to water; but, you
see, I'm not a geranium." Minneapolis

Christmas will soon be here. There
re not many more days remaining
ntil this happiest of all days of the
year rolls in upon us.
There ha always been one feature
of the Christmas season, however,
which has been a hardship on the gift
buyer. That has been the uncertainty
s to what to buy. So numerous are
the many useful gifts displayed in the
stores that it has become a perplexing
matter for the man or woman desir
ing to buy presents to make a selection.
Therefore, nothing is so welcome to
the tired Christmas shopper as a real
suggestion list. This suggestion list
should for the most part be composed
of essential or comfort giving articles.
It is just as easy to find such a gift,
and undeniably more appropriate, than
to give some useless foible.
In these days, when, compared with
the luxury and comfort given for the
price, nothing is so inexpensive as elec
tricity, it behooves the gift purchaser to
carefully scan the list of electrical
gifts. For the benefit of all, there is
herewith listed some suggestions in the
way of electrical merchandise which
s on display at practically every elec
trical store. The eletrical merchant
will gladly show you these "gifts" and
explain the merits of them. Cut this
list out and carry it with you when you
start your Christmas shopping.

Never before have Phoenix electrical
merchants carried so complete a line of
electrical gifts as may be found in
their shops now,. There are doubtless
many electrical' gifts not listed here
which they can get for you. in c&e
they have not already stocked.
The best policy for the Christmas
shopper to follows is to start out now,
while stocks are complete, while the
store forces are not tired out, While it
is possible to get what you want by
special order to the factory in case it is
not in stock.
The- merchant, too, doubly appreci
ates the early shopper, as it gives him
an opportunity to more thoroughly
satisfy the shopper's wants. Give some
thing ELECTRICAL this Christmas.

COMMUNISM'S "GENERAL STAFF"
A small group of men, chosen by the
second congress of the third of Com
munist International, which had its
sessions in Petrograd and Moscow last
July and August, is prepared to make
a bid for greater world power than
w s ever dreamed of by Kaiser Wil
helm or any of his historic forerun
nors in the domain of world conquest.
To this group, constituting the ex
ecutive committee of the Communi.st
International and having its head
quarters in Moscow, extraordinary
powers have been delegated by the last
congress. The aims which these men
are to pursue and the methods which
they are to employ have been set forth
with a remarkable degree of clarity in
the proceedings and the resolutions of
the congress.
These men, officially fifteen in num
ber, have been designated as the gen
eral staff of the world revolution
Their committee Is to be the -co
ordinating and directing center of the
Communist activities the world over
In every country of the earth, every
ndividual and group working openly
or secretly for the cause or commun
ism must take orders from this execu
tive committee, obey those orders im
plicitly and unqualifiedly, and look to
the committee us the master and the
last court of appeal.
Taken individually or even as a
group, these men do not represent out
standing figures. Were' they to be con-,
sidered on the basis of their individual
merit .they would deserve very little
attention. None of them is a person of
unusual ability. None of them is even
prominent In the affairs of his -own
country, with the exception of the five
Russian representatives, whose claim
to prominence in their country rests
upon the foundation of tragic historic
accident namely, certain conditions
growing out of the war ,a foundation
similar to that which constitutes the
basis of the power of the whole com
mittee and the international back of It.
And yet the Communist Internation
al and its executive committee repre
sent today a force to be reckoned with,
a power before which some of the
statesmen of western Europe stand in
confusion and almost in awe, while
many of the enlightened leaders of
Socialist and radical thoucht humble
themselves before t. Leo PasvoiskjN

TRUE DIPLOMACY
"Did you ever try to convince a man
that he is wrong?"
"Well, not exactly. I usually get him
to believe that I am right, and let it
go at that." Judge.
Washing Machine
Now Has Water-
Heating Device
A new electric washer consists of a
tub, a rotating cylinder, a swinging
wringer and a gas or -oil burner1 by
which the water can be heated and
kept at working temperature right in
the tub.
When one thinks how water had to
be heated in a wash boiler on a stove
when doing laundry work by old meth
ods, the ability to heat the water in
the tub and keep it from getting luke
warm is a big improvement. If the
clothes are soaped and soaked before
hand, then washed electrically in a hot
soap solution, they are far cleaner and
whiter than when done by hand.
Clothes can be wrung from the hot
wash water into the rinsing water, the
wringer swung out at a right angle
from the tub and the clothes wrung
into blueing, the wringer turned
through another right angle and the
clothes wrung again into the basket.
The wringer also has a safety lever
on the top by which the rolls can .be
instantly released, if necessary.

A BAD TIMEKEEPER
The fussy; old fellow was making a
journey on a Drancn line, at ine nest
not particular as to punctuality. The
train had slowed down again after
stopping several times. The old gen
tleman's patience became exhausted,
and taking out his watch, he said to a
fellow passenger: "How much is this
train overdue?"
"Well, sir," was the reply, "a watch
is no good; you want a calendar."

AS COAL SAVERS
Economically the electric heater now
has much more to commend it than it
did in the days when coal could be ob
tained for $6 or $7 a ton. In those days
it was considered that the cost of heat
ing a home electrically would be many
times as much with electricity as with
coal, but now that the price of coal is
two and one-half to three times what
it was, the discrepancy in cost is much
lesf marked. Where power is avail
able electric heaters offer an almost
ideal arrangement for the early months
of the winter season. v
