UTTER OF KWR. _I May Phone From Moving Train This Dazzling Prediction Is Made After 70 Years of Telephone Service. CHICAGO. — Before long you may be able to take up a telephone In a private booth on a speeding train and talk to your wife or office 1,000 miles away. The same service may be available to passengers on lux ury airliners, says the Chicago Trib une. Dazzling? Sure. But there’s no doubt that new techniques developed in war research have unlocked vast new fields for the telephone, which first was used 70 years ago, on March 10, 1876, to be exact. Some time in the future a tele phone subscriber may be able to dial a toll call straight across the nation, just as he now dials from his office to his home. The charge would be automatically computed and recorded at the telephone ex change. Nationwide dialing by long dis tance operators already is on the way. The American Telephone and Telegraph company says that with in a few years operators will be dialing straight across the con tinent. When this is adopted, A. T. & T. may divide the nation into 60 or 70 "numbering plan areas,” each designated by a code. How It Works. If a call were being made from Chicago to Market 2-2100 at New ark. N. J., the Chicago operator would determine that New Jersey’s area code was, say, 312 and would dial 312 followed by the listed num ber MA 2-2100. A device already has been invent ed which, if no one answers, tells you: “There is no one here, but if you want to leave a message it will be transcribed.’’ Two-way voice communication by radio-telephone between motor vehi cles already is here. Business con cerns are using It for delivery trucks, taxi fleets, repairmen, buses and harbor and river craft. The Bell system says telephones in cars, trucks, and other mobile units will be connected with the general telephone system. If a man wants to ta . from his desk to the occupant of an auto mobile, Bell explains, he will first dial or ask for the mobile service operator He will give her the call number or designation of the vehi cle. She will send out a signal by dialing the call number. A tone or a light will indicate to the car occu pant that he is wanted. He will pick up his dashboard tele phone, and the conversation starts. The driver of a mobile unit can originate calls merely by pushing the “talk” button to signal the oper ator. When Bell Talked. All this is a far cry from the day 70 years ago when Alexander Gra ham Bell first talked over a wire. Bell’s first telephone patent was granted March 7, 1876, but at first earned no return. It was not until May, 1877, that the first telephones were put into use commercially. At the end of 1945, there were 22,445,500 Bell system telephones in service, plus more than 5,400,000 operated by some 6,000 other com panies. Through radio-telephone, a phone user In this country can be connect ed with any one of more than 46 mil lion telephones in service in the world. The radiotelephone provides direct communication between the United States and 39 foreign points. The United States already has over 50 per cent of the world’s tele Dhones, i Engagement Ring for ‘Him* —Thousands Wear ’Em NEW YORK.—A Manhattan chem ical engineer said that American men, despite reports to the con trary. definitely are wearing engage ment rings. Mathew Rosenthal, former ma rine captain in the Pacific, esti mates his company has sold more than 312,000 such rings during the last 16 months. “They’re not diamonds," a repre sentative of the firm explained. "They’re made out of a secret min eral composition, almost as hard as a diamond.” The setting, which sell* for $17 wholesale, looks like a black cameo and has a man's and woman's head on it. Rosenthal now has 27 lapidaries working on the new idea. Every worker is a war veteran. The firm has sold 28,080 rings in Pennsylvania, 21,840 in Texas, 18, 720 in Illinois and 6,240 in New ( York state. “They don’t go well in the big cities," the representative said, "but, boy, they sell in the rural dis tricts." Other states high on the sales list were Ohio, Michigan, Minnesota, Massachusetts, Indiana, New Jer sey. Florida and Georgia. Build or Wreck Doesn’t Matter, You Get a Medal ALBUQUERQUE, N.

Read This Fascinating Serial Now I Cleaning Big City Is Tough Problem Electric Grinders Solve It For Public Library NEW YORK.—This city, which prides itself on always having the biggest and best, is proving that it has some of the toughest dirt in the world and not of the columnist va riety. This item came up in connection with the cleaning of the New York Public library which has a 40-odd year collection of grime. City engi neers report that steam, ordinarily used to clean skyscrapers, has no effect on it and that sand-blasting is too harsh for the stone of which the building is constructed. After experiments with various methods on portions of the building not visible to the general public, the problem was finally solved by the use of electric hand grinding machines having a mild abrasive on the revolving wheel. Today, work men are swarming ovdr the famous building, each with a portable elec tric grinder, restoring the stone to its original, natural beauty. At the same time, a crew of 35 men is kept busy inside the building mopping the dirt on the quarry tile and marble floors tracked in by visi- , tors who number nearly 3,000,000 per j year—erfough persons to populate cities such as Los Angeles or Phila delphia. While it has been necessary oc casionally to replace portions of the marble floor, owing to wear, library officials report that not one piece of the 62,028 square feet of tile has worn out in the 35 years the building has been open to the public. As the workmen finish cleaning sections on the outside of the build ing, a coating of waterproof pre servative is placed on the stone to retard the formation of a new coat of grime. This is the first time the building has been cleaned since the stonework was erected in about 1905. . To give some idea of the magnl-» tude of the job, it is costing the city around $100,000 and taking near lyyear to complete. Depending on the weather and the progress of the work, between 10 and 20 men are on the job every day. Cold dur ing the winter months and the man power shortage are two of the rea sons the work is taking so long to complete.
