NOTE: Proportionate giving is
meaningless without a worthwhile
proportion. One cent for God out of
each one hundred dollars earned
would be proportionate, but on that
basis, God’s share of a $3,000.00 sal

Metal Phone Poles
Metal telephone poles are used in
South Africa because the white ants
eat wooden ones.
NETWORK of through
telephone circuits be
tween cities and sections of
the country makes it as easy
now to telephone a relative
across the continent as to
telephone your local grocer
to send up a peck of potatoes.
Today 92 per cent of all long
distance calls are completed
while the person calling re
mains at the telephone, and the av
erage time taken for putting through
such calls is one and one-half min
utes.
In early telephone days, when
service was informal and lines were
few, it was not at all unusual for
an operator to receive a call from
a housewife and hear her say:
“Mary, please see if you can find
Charles and have him bring home
some hamburg steak for dinner.”
Today you seldom know your op
erator by name, but she still will
find people for you, across a state or
across a continent.
A subscriber said: “I want to talk
to a man down on Cape Cod. I
don’t know his name or town. But
he raises Bcdlington terriers and
has chin whiskers like Horace Gree
ley’s.” The operator found him.
Telephonic Posse.
A prominent business mati was
killed in an accident. His wife
was in California, but no one knew
just where. The chief long-distance
telephone operator in New York set
to work to locate her. Hotels in the
southern part of the state were tried
Thursdayl without success.

A hopeless tangle to the layn
ground wires are the plaything Oj
Every wire goes somewhere—an
about cleanliness, but about leaks.
Even the tiniest pinhole may admit
moisture and cause trouble. So ni
trogen gas under pressure is
pumped into the cable, and if it
leaks at any point, a bubble of soap
suds will tell the tale.
Safety First in Safety Belts.
If ever you see a steer scratch
himself on a barbed-wire fence, be
assured that that portion cf his hide
never will go into the making of a
telephone lineman’s belt. Scratches
weaken leather, and linemen climb
ing poles trust their lives to their
belts.
The telephone works in very simi
lar fashion to the human ear. In
fact, the ear itself actually was the
first “telephone,” and an electrical
one at that.
To make a man hear, you push
and pull on his eardrum, causing it
to vibrate thousands of times a sec
ond. You do the pushing and pull
ing, not by grasping his ear, but by
using the energy of your voice.
When you speak, the tiny particles
or molecules that make up the sur
rounding air are set in motion. They
exert the push and pull on the man’s
eardrum. They press on it only as
heavily as a snip of hair l-1000th of
an inch long—but that is enough.
Behind the eardrum are tiny bones
and chambers of liquid which are
set to vibrating as the eardrum vi
brates. In the inner ear the vibra
tions are changed, scientists now be
lieve. to electrical impulses that
travel along nerves to the brain.

Has Language of Own.
The telephone is a universal lin
guist, though some people don’t al
ways realize it. Once an enterpris
ing Arab merchant in the Near East
had a telephone installed, and the
first customer who called spoke
Greek. The Arab could not under
stand Greek, and in high dudgeon
went to the company and told them
they had given him an instrument
that spoke Greek whereas he want
ed one that spoke Arabian!
The telephone not only speaks all
languages, but it also has a lan
guage of its own, unlike any other
tongue on earth.
When your speech travels over a
telephone wire, it is as private as
if you were talking with someone in
the middle of the Sahara. But when
your speech goes out on the radio
waves of the transatlantic telephone,
anyone might listen in to one side
of the conversation simply by tun
ing his receiving set to the proper
wave length.
Therefore, when you telephone
across the ocean, your voice goes
through a device that translates all
your u’ords into sounds wholly unin
telligible. Your voice really is
turned upside down—the high tones
are turned into low ones, and the
low ones info high ones.

Bluffton is not far away from Key

concerned, Mrs. K. H. Dickerson, for

Dickerson recently accepted a po

worker on a submarine base.
Upon their arrival at the Florida
city, the Dickerson’s purchased a Key

they noticed was an account under a
Bluffton dateline detailing the trou

himself without the trousers to his
wedding suit a few minutes before
he was to be married to Miss Thelma
Marquart.
Key West is described by Mrs.
Dickerson as a quaint and beautiful
town, with lovely tropical flowering
trees and tall cocoanut palms.
