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.

U. S. Soldier Gets Back
School Ring Lost to Nazi
PITTSBURGH. - James DeLuco,
who lost his Duquesne university
ring to a German soldier during a
battle in 1945, has it back again.
A New Jersey woman, who said her
husband took the ring from a Ger
man soldier, wrote to the university
asking them to find the owner of
a ring bearing the initials “JDL.”
Duquesne traced it to DeLuco.

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.
John Ryan and son, Bill, of Gil
lette, Wyo., spent last week-end
here visiting his brother, J. B.
Ryan and o<ther old friends and
relatives.

ON THE AVERAGE '
Nebraska Electric Rates Are
LOWER than any TYUdiuBAisAn Slats
According To The F. P. C. '
YOU are enjoying electric rates, on the aver
age, lower than electric users in any of Ne
braska’s neighboring states in the middle west.
A quick look at the map above showing the
average cost of 100 kilowatts (based on national
consumption average) shows that you in Ne
braska are receiving electricity cheaper than
your neighbors in adjoining states. It was not
always thus—however. But, since the organiza
tion of Consumers Public Power District, your
own state-wide electric utility, electric rates have
been substantially reduced. At the same time,
your Consumers has been consistently building
up and integrating your system, thereby provid
ing you with better, moro reliable service. In line
with this policy, your Consumers has maintained
a long-range maintenance program which can
result only in continued outstanding electric
service at low cost.
