It was not until twelve years later, in 1903, that communication with Belgium be san with two London-Brussels cir cuits. Whan war uroke out in 1914, twt;nty-thrcj years after the Anglo- Con tinenlal service began, there were but thirteen circuits in opera tion and they carried just about one thousand calls a day. - How ever, during the war, the telephone repeater came into existence in the United States, where it was per fected by engineers of the Ameri can Telephone and Telegraph Com pany for use in the first transconti nal line, uniting the Atlantic and Pacific Coasts, which was then be ing completed. The development of the telephone repeater at once attracted attention in Europe, where it was used on an extensive scale during the war: by the Ger mans to maintain communication between Berlin and Constantinople and with the German Headquarters in Macedonia, Roumania and Rus sia, and by the Allies for communi cation between their headquarters in France and Italy; and In Great Britain for the maintenance of communication at a critical time between London and the Military Headquarters in the north of Eng land and Scotland. Following the war, the first task was that of providing sufficient plant to meet demands for inter nal services, but by 1922, exten sions of international services be gan, with the result that in Septem ber of that year an Anglo-Dutch service was opened, with two cir cuits between London, Amsterdam and Rotterdam. Since that time communication with the continent has increased to such an extent that there are now fifty-seven An glo-Continental circuits in opera tion aa compared with thirteen ih August of 1914. •On the Anglo-French, Anglo-Bet gian and the Anglo-Swiss circuits, the French language is employed for operating purposes, but on the other routes a considerable amonpt of > English and German is used. The operators, for the siost part, are required to speak more than one language. LOST —Small patent leather hand purse containing SIO.OO check, $1.25 in change.

FOREST CITY tT -WWW TOUGH PROBLEM FOR TELEPHONE COMPANY ReboHds Three ExchangcsWitboot Interfering With Handling of Million Calls a Day What is declared to be the larg est single transition project in telephone installation history was successfully completed recently in New York City. It involved the re vamping of three existing central offices, with economizing in ap paratus and space so as to provide for two additional offices to serve what is known as Manhattan's "white light" district. All the time that this huge transition was being carried out, traffic went on as usual through out day and night, approximately 1,000,000 calls daily being handled through these offices. The project took place in the West Thirty sixth street building, which serves the heart of New York's shopping, hotel, transit, garment manufac turing, theatrical and night life district. Here the saying, "Broad way never sleeps," applies and the transition job of necessity was carried along with particular care against service interruption by night as well as by day. It was necessary to literally re build these central offices. The task involved the removal of the entire incoming multiple switch board and the replacement of same, re-cabling and in some in stances transferring from one set of frames to another. This had to be done, of course, without any in terference with service and it was a most difficult task. When the task was completed there were two new offices in addi tion to the existing three to serve this important district of Man hattan. The city * Athens tax Greece has »nlr telepbone aatacribers. In September the old poultry hous es should be repaired or new ones built. Blue prints, showing how to build the North Carolina house, are available at State College.
