BIG DEVELOPMENT IN
ELECT KU' INDUSTRY
The relation of public utllltiee to
tho increase of population 18 brought
out In_ statistics recently published
by the bureau of census :n Washing
ton.
In 1880 the population ot the United
States was 50.000,000; in 1920, four
decade later, It was 105,000,000, an
increase of 110 per cent. In 1880, the
entire capital Invested in the electric
light and power Industry was less
than one million dollars; it is now
approximately $5,000,000,000 an in
crease of 500,000 per cent. Tho an
nual gross return upon the invest
ment is about $1,000,000,000, and 1,
750,000 persons own the securities of
the industry.
It is estimated that 8,500,000 homes
in this country, out of a total of 22,
500,000, are wired for electrical ser
vice, and this service is at present
available to 5, 000,000 additional homes
In 1922, approximately 1,000,000 new
homes were wired and equipped for
the use of electrical energy, and it is
expected that 4,000,000 additional
homes will be wired within the next
live years.
There are at present in the United
States 288 cities of 25,006 or more
each, with a combined population of
S8, 000,000,' forty years ago It was 8,
500,000.
This unparalleled growth was pos
sible only because ot the ability of
the utilities to keep ahead of the
growing demands upon them, says a
bulletin of the New York state com
mittee on public utility information
reporting Ihe figures. To house this
increasing population towns and cities
had', to exp&nti, and bulldl suburb#.
Suburbs cannot exist without ade
quate transportation and telephone
service. Houses ye not habitable with
out electric wljgs and gas pipee;
thus the electrlfc railway, the elec
tric light and power indusu-y and the
gas industry served the growing com
inunttles by anticipating and prepar
ing themselves tor demands for ser
vice In advance of the need of it.
This demand upon public utility Ber
vice to keep ahead of the development
nt tha rnmmnnliy It yonroa
with the increasing $<>r cafiita ,i?Je
of gas, electric ifrht and power, tele
phone and othei^,. utilities, has neces
sitated a constant Inflow- of capital
tor new plants ihid equipment. * '

THE ADVANTAGES OF AX&BICA
One of the greatest industrial or
ganizations in 'he world, typifying
the achievement of private enterprise,
initiative and inventive genius, is the
American Telephone & Telegraph
Company. No other business gives
a uniform service over such a large
area of land as the United States.
This one- of the greatest companies
that has believed in publicity and
has used not only the national maga
zines and metropolitan daily news
papers, but has told its story in the
country daily and weekly newdpapers
throughout the land. It has placed
before the American people as no
othfer company has attempted to do
through advertising, almost every
phase of the operation- of its busd- 1
ness.
While telephone communication in
European countries hag been stag
nating under political management
which killed incentive for invention
and development along this line, the
American telephone system has pro
gressed to a point where this nation
has many times the number of tele
phones to be found m all of the other
countries of the world combined, at
much lower rates to customers.
The American system is typical of
real public ownership in that the
money for Its development is furnish
ed by hundreds of thousands of stock
holders, Including customers and em
ployes, In every state In the union. -
For the convenience ot customers
and to assure good and uniform ser
vice, the telephone Industry Is a
natural monoply. The advantage of a
uniform system as fn the United
States is well Illustrated when com
pared with the patchwork telephone
systems operated or controlled by a
dozen different governments In a do
zen different countries of Europe.
Those who are prone to criticise
America's business organizations
ought sometimes consider for Just a
few minutes the advantages this na
tion really enjoys.

RADIO PRIVACY NOW POSSIBLE
Conversation over the radio tele
phone has now reached the stage of
"privacy".
By means of a scrambling process
in transmission and an unscrambling
process in reception, the spoken word
over the electro magnetic wave is
kept free from outside Ustners-ln.
Success has crowned the efforts of
engineers of the Bell telephone sys
tem in perfecting such apparatus,
giving to radio phone science a full
degree of commercial aatirity. The
use of radio for phone messages has
lcng been considered unfeasible, due
to the lack of privacy. The new system
connects Catallna islands off south
ern California not only with the main
land at Los Angeles, but the wire
Urs voice can also be switched
into the elaborate main trunk llnee
of the Bell system and convoyed over
land to any point in the United States.
David Sarnoff, General Manager of
the Radio Corporation of America
says:
"All world progress rests upon ln
of intelligence. WHlh the
groMrth'and spread of radio, even into
isolated communities, humanitarian
educational and social possibilities
come Into view hitherto envisioned
through 'no other agency."
