BANK EXAMINER APPROVESLOCAL B. & L. SOCIETY

Legion Shareholders Asked to Cooperate in Survey.

The officers and directors of theNarberth American Legion Bui lding and Loan Assoc ia ti on werequi te pleased with the resul t of therecent examination of the associat ion by the State banking examiner.The thoroughness of the examinations now conduct ed by t he S tate

Department of Banking should bereassttring to all the stockholders ofbuilding associations.There is one phase of t he ex

am in ati on in which all t he stockholders having stock loans are requested to co-operate, v iz: T o reply promptly to letters addressed bythe State bankiilg examiner verifying the amounts of t he l oans as setf or th on t he books of the association. This is a new departure uponthe p ar t of t he e xami ne r a nd issimilar to the procedure adopted bycerti fied public accountants whenthey makean audit , viz .: to send outletters to all the credi tors asking ift he record of the account as setforth on the books of the particularbusiness is correct.New stockholders may subscribe

tostock in the April series bypayingthe entrance fee and three months'clues, without fines.As usual, the meetings of the as

sociation will be h eld on t he firstTuesday of each month. In the

future these meetings will be held inthe office of the Narberth Coal andBuilding MateriaLCompany at thecorner of Narberth and Haverfordavenues, The location of this officeis so central that it i s bel ieved thestockholders will find it an addedconvenience to p ay due s h er e, andfor this reason the change wasmade.

Experiments with undergroundtelephone lines were made as earlyas 1882.

In the beginning the wires were wrapped in cot ton and twisted intocables, usually of a hundred wires each. To prevent moisture getting inand breaking down the electrical circuits, the cables were soaked in oil.

At Philadelphia in 1890 was laid the first lead-sheathed"dry core" cable,in which the wires were wrapped with paper. This markedthe beginningof what has now become the universal type of construction. And thehundred wires of the early cables have now increased to 2400, inclosedin a lead sheath less than three inches in diameter.

The use of these cables in urban development is well known.

Not so generally appreciated, however, is the extent to which they arereaching out through the state, tying the cities together.

Across the central part of Pennsylvania, from east to west, is the longest;and continuations of it already reach to New York and Boston, Baltimoreand Washington, and Chicago and intermediate cities.

Similar cables radiate from Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, and are steadilyextending onward. North from Reading to Bethlehem, Ea::;ton, Hazleton,Wilkes-Barre, and Scranton is another very impor tant l ink of an inter city cable system that is now growing at the rate of three I!undred milesa year in Pennsylvania.

Twentyyears ago such cableswouldnot have" talked." Today,fumishinga service which is as flexible and natural as a cromj-town connection, theycomprise an outstandingexampleof the continuous progressof telephony.

CHAIRMAN EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE

The above is the last of a series of letters

by Mr_ Samuel Rea, Executive Chairman,

tvritten in the interest of this campaign.

-You Should Subscribe to

This Movement

BECAUSE:You may need the Bryn Mawr Hospital

some time for yourself, your family or yournear friends. It must be ready for you 'when you want it.

The hospital must be enlarged so that

service can be given to others as well as

yourself.Children and old people must be given

skilled and tender care under t he mos tadvantageous conditions.

It is a reproach to our community that

its hospital capacity is insufficient to safe..guard public health.
