C�1�.1�:.1F� llA`• Tr17TIS GENTLEMAN is busy "talking tele - .11. phones to death' -which is merely a way of saying that he isj:esting their transmission qualities. He is a worker in the telephone research laboratories. He has a rack of telephone trans- mitters" and a phonograph, He "talks them to death" by means of the phonograph' to see .whether the transmitters give : satisfactory; t . results. • There have been 95 different types of trans- ', nutters and 64 different receivers to obtain the instrument you are using today. And men are , at work now to find one still better. IN .THE NEXT ROOM another man is .1. using an apparatus which rubs a piece of telephone cord back and forth until it frays. He is seeking a better cord, He is the man who found that the brown cord' in your''tele- phone todaywears better tli .n the green cord you. used to have. You may nett hav,-e noticed. the change from green to brown but it has saved hundreds of thousands of dollars for telephone users. That is the business of these gentlemen -to make a better telephone and save money in doing it. ' T'HERE 'ARE NEARLY five thousand of J. them at work in the Bell Telephone Laboratories the largest telephone resarch labpratori6s in the world — and the Bell Tele- phone Companysof Canada owns a contract, giving access to all the work they do. That is why your telephone system now has the ingenious device known as the "loading coil" which transmits messages over wires fine as human hair. It -used to be necessary to have heavy wires, increasing' in size with distance.. The heavy wires were costly. The loading coil has saved millions in telephone costs. The underground cables developed: in recent -years areanother of a score of similar benefits. They have wires to carry a vastly greater num- ber of messages than they used to, but they are so compact and so efficient that they can be pulled through the original underground ducts. if cables and ducts had to be, increased in size with the vastnew traffic the, costs of telephon- ing would climb sky-high.' HE NEW CABLES, like the brown cord JL and the loading coil, mean millions of dollars saved. These dollars are dollars in your pocket. Your telephone is ;being connected with thousands of new telephones across the country every week yet this increased value does not ,cost you more because costs are suc- cessfully offset by the economies which re- search accomplishes. : The gentleman testing the transmitter and the five thousand' working in the laboratories with him are saving money fpr you, every day and keeping the tele- phone adequate' to serve the needs of Canadian progress • Publiclhad by Tho Bcil Tetaphone Company of Cdnerla to tot/ you something about tie totophana becie,,e, and the peopto ie it. 231 r,rnun�,iv• J.

ORTWEIN The well-known ` Hensall represen- tative of the Domihion'Lite who, though well " over seventy years of .ago, had the distinetidn id qualifying for his Company's Honor '-loll as the result of a large number of life in- sdrancesales during November.. er to the :soil mulch. It is unneces- sary to apply fertilizer or any kind since, the fleshy root -stapes have suf- ficient plant food Stored up in them to produce at least four good pullings. Under proper conditions, the first shillings should be ready in about Tom- weeks ' from the time that the roots have beets placed in the cellar. To maintain the supply throughout the winter, : a second lot of roots should be brought in when the first pulling has been removed from the previous roots. Five •roots properly handled shonl(1 produce about sixty pounds of a. marketable product. When the fourth 'pulling has " been removed, it is a good plan'to place the roots ,out-of-doors again: and ` al- low them to freeze,' • These roots can be planted out in the spring in good soil to, recuperate. HIGJi RECORD OF ;ACCIDENTS Another record has been smashed, but this time the breaking of the record is not desirable. There have been inor'o industrial' accidents re- ported to date -in 1928 than in the whole of 1927. In November, 'there were 7,021 accidents reported to' the. Workmen's Compensation :Board, in- cluding: 51fatalities, . This is lower than the previous nnenth of October when there were 8,278, including the samenumber of fatalities. The total number in eleven months. of 1»28• ;is 72,943 and the total for the year 1927 was '71, 979. Benefits awarded by the Board in November for industrial accidentsamounted to $709,809.50 which included $105,602.75 for medi- cal aid. From time •to time, statements are made to the effect that there are many more miner accidents -eepek-bed than in former years. This seems to be borne out by the figures complied by R. B. Morley, general manager, Industrial Accident Prevention As- sociations, covering the last year' on which final figures are available and showing.the average cost of accidents on which compensation or medical aid was awarded in schedule 1 :in the past several years.. These figures are as follows:- Average Year Total Cost Cost per Accident 1921. $4,271,034.67 $134.09 1922 4,323,801.07 114.73 1923 4,977,351.82 107.11 1924 4,746,314.60 107.20 1925 4,438,802.13 95.77 1926. 4,711,970.90 92.80 .CELLAR FORCING OF RHUBARB To succesiiully force rhubarb in the cellar during the winter mouths is one of the easiest and simplest' of uiidertalcings.' 'Strong, healthy roots that are at least two yeaa'rold from seed, or old crowns will give very satisfactory results. ' These should be slug up late in the autumn or just before the ground . freezes up for winter. Allow as much earthto ad- here to the roots as possible, allowing them to "remain on the surface of the ground until the soil and routs have been frozen, through. Freezing .is essential to good forcing as it has been found by experiment that roots that were not frozen before being placed in the cellar did not do as well• es those ,that'had been frozen. A dark • cellar where the tempera - true can be maintained, around 55 de- grees F. to 05 degrees F. will be quite satisfactory,': The frozen roots and soil should be' brought in and placed tha cellar floor adjacent to the furnaet:- Sand, earth or cinders should be;'pile:- around the -roots to maintain an even moisture supply.

SCIHOOL-TEACHING TRAGEDY ~� .411 British Columbia is aroused ov- er the suicide of a 20 -year-old school teacher. This young lady contracted to teach school in a pioneer.eommun- ity, and was subjected to such gross and cruel treatment as to drive her to self-destruction. The Coroner's jury laid an awful indictment when it bluntly said that the girl's, tem- porary insanity was caused by "un- justifiable, unfeeling and underhand criticism •on the part of members of the, School Board." Among any raee that can lay any real claim to greatness school teach- ing is inevitably classed as second in importance only to spiritual leader- ship. Ib is one of the mysteries of modern eivilizetion that, notwith- standing general agreement on that point, the school system is begrudg- ingly organized as the most hap- hazard of State services. leis a tri- bute to .the almost universal recogni- tion of the vital need and real worth of education in Canada that the local Trustees extend every possible con- sideration to the teachers they em- plby. But it must be apparent to any tojne who has given any thought to the subject that there are districts where the equipment is a disgrace, where the Trustees have, not the slightest recognition of their true function, and where the teacher is re- garded as a human pest whom the Government forces the conhiunity to employ, and who shall be made to know it.
