The March of Science
STYLES IN TELEPHONE POLES
There was once a cartoon of a
man sprinkling a garden of little
telephone poles, which were
sprouting up under the watering
dike plants. An astonished ob-
server was represented as saying,
"Somebody should inform the
telephone company about this!"
From the above illustration of
Bell Telephone Laboratories' out-
side plant testing field, one might
imagine that the telephone com-
pany was actually trying to grow
poles, ready-made. By studying
these poles, many of which are
treated with preparations against
weathering and decay, Bell Tele-
phone scientists are simply en-
gaged in one more phase of their
drive to safeguard telephone ser-
vice and keep down the cost of
telephone plant.
To the casual observer, tele-
phone poles have changed little
since Grandpa first used them
for hitching posts. Like all other
pieces of telephone equipment,
however, poles have been improv-
ed constantly throughout the
sixty -odd years since the tele-
phone was invented.
In the early days, most poles
were cut green and delivered with
the bark still on them. The yard
where poles were stored and the
bark peeled off was known to
telephone men as the "Willow
Patch," Various types of wood
were used, but the most popular
has usually been cedar.
Then it was found that pine
poles, treated with creosote, would
last twice as long as untreated
cedar poles. The creosote is forced
into the pole under tremendous
pressure --pressure so great that
the pole will "bleed" creoeote for
months after it has been set in
the ground. The contrast between
the pitch-black poles and the
gleaming red copper wires of a
newly -completed Iine is a sight
well worth seeing.
Many types of treatment are
applied to poles, depending on the
conditions of weathering and
decay to which they may be sub-
jected. For example, poles in
some of the southern States have
to be specially protected against
wood -boring termites. A new type
of treatment has recently been
introduced to protect poles from
decay at the ground -line, where
tiny micro-organisms in the soil
are found. Sodium fluoride is ap-
plied to the base of the pole, so
that it may eat right in to the
heartwood and destroy the micro-
organisms there. Creosote, which
does not penetrate so deeply into
the wood, is added to delay the
leeching out of the sodium fluo-
ride and to destroy the micro-
organisms in the soil around the
pole. This treatment, regularly
repeated, will prolong the life of
a pole for a considerable period.
It may withstand the stress of
sleet and snow upon the wires for
more than 30 years, so that the
researches in Bell Telephone
Laboratories' "pole garden" may
be taken as a surety that your
telephone call will go through at
all times, in all weathers.
It is interesting to note that
telephone companies in tropical
countries have to contend with
the opposite condition. They are
less concerned with preventing
the pole from decaying, than
from putting out roots, acquiring
bark, and shooting out fresh
leaves and branches which become
tangled with the wires!

WINSTON CHURCHILL

Britain's 4,000,000 Gramdphone

There is a world demand for Mr,
Winston Churchill's speeches now
done for the gramophone. They
are being bought up 1n Australia, in
Canada, in India, in New Zealand
and in South Africa; and again in
their own homes American citizens
are listening to his ''Give us the
tools and we will finish the job."
Mr. Churchill has joined the best
sellers, among whom to -day are Paul
Robeson with his "Trees," Richard
Tuaber, now a British subject ("Be-
gin the Beguile"), Webster Booth
("I'll Walk Beside You"), Joe Loss
i("You Say the Sweetest Things),
Great Britain shipped more than
4,000,000 gramophone records ov-
erseas last year, and matrices (tine
dies from which records are stamp-
ed out) are not included in this co-
lossal total.
The most popular records of re-
cent years are Paul Whiteman's
"Rhapsody in Blue" which has sold
more than 80.00) to date; Richard
Crook: "Ah, Sweet Mystery of
Life" 1140,000); and the top score
is Ernest Lough with 68000 and
still selling. He %vas a Temple
choirboy when he made his lovely
"Hear My Prayer," To -day he is a
stalwart fireman, training a choir
