Enough of these circuits must be built, oper ated and kept in repair to provide service to any point at any moment. For many hours each day the wires are idle, but they must always be ready for service should anyone want to use them. Telephone calls cannot be hung on a hook to bo distributed out through several hours, as operators may have time, or wires may be clear, to send them. Every call must be handled aa quickly as possible, because there is a party ready to talk. The large majority of long distance calls are handled in a few hours during the busy part of the day. The rest of the time an expensive equipment is practically idle. Only One Conversation On a Circuit If a railroad company were forced to keep a track clear from one end to the other for each train and haul but one car at a time- on that train, freight rates would be extremely high. Only one telephone message at a time can bo carried on the telephone track of two wires. For every telephone call we must have a clear track from one end to the other. Many long distance lines carry very fow calls not enough to pay the cost of keeping the wires in repair yet to give a univorsal service these lines must bo held ready for such calls as our patrons want to send.
