All Famous Chefs, Ameri can andEuropean, Have Been Men.Some of our contemporaries findmuch to marve l a t in t he o rgan ization of evening cooking classes formen such as have been establishedin St. Lou is , Chi cago, Denve r andother cities.Aside from the fact that for many

Chai1'man, Campaign Executive Committee.

Hospital service has come to be one o f t he things which w e, ascitizens, expect to have available whenever occasion demands. Wea re n ot content with anything less t han the bes t p ro te ct io n medicalscience makes possible.

Such service, however, is no t secured by an y magic process. Ifwe insist that i t shal l be provided for us, we must surely understandthat its cost must, either directly or indirectly, be borne by ourselves.

Public schools, court houses, our fire department, our wat ersupp ly and sewers and many other community necessities are builtand enlarged through taxation. Butour Hospital, although its serviceis paramount in importance, is neither built, equipped nor enlargedby any method o f taxation.

The Bryn Mawr Hospital has served well the people of this entiresection. Bu t the Hospital has reached a point where, in order to maintain its service at a high standard, improve its buildings and equipmentto meet imperative demands, it must appeal to the public for whoseservice it exists. For this a minimum of $1,000,000 is needed.

Your Hospital i s a nec es si ty , essential to you r own well be inga nd o f those near and dear to you. No one knows at what hour hemay need hospital service, when it may be no t simply a matte r o frelief, bu t perhaps of life itself.

The health of one is the concern of all.citizens depend upon the Hospital for service.upon you for its support.

It is t hi s mutual dependence upon each o ther tha t l eads u s toentitle this message ""Interdependence."

C. ROY SMITH

"I can hear vou! I can hear the words!" It was March 10, 1876, the day the telephone was born. Alexander Graham BeU visioned a t t h at early day aatiOD-wide telephone service. Butno t even he couldforesee the great modem long-distance switchboardswhichmake one community of the state and the uatioa

Two telephonesas invented byAlexanderGraham Bellwould, if connectedby wire and charged with battery, furnish simple intercommunication.But that port ion of the present telephone plant represented by Bel l' s in..vention comprises but about two per cent. of the whole.The instrument on your desk is only the inbound and outbound terminal.You measure its performance not in terms of the rec-..:iver and transmitter,or of the intricate switchboardmechanisms and circuitsthat lie in betweenit and the telephone you call, but rather in terms of the facility and dependability with which it responds to your directions.That a local call shall be practically instantaneou_, within the limit of machines and human hands to function, is not an unreasonable expectation.That on average calls across the state or the cont inent relatively longerintervals are now required is probably understood.Yet there is r ea son to expect that as time goes on, with the further development of operat ing equipment and methods now of practical use, theplacing and complet ion of calls to distant poinL will more and moreclosely approach the facility and speed of local connections.So great has been t he r ecen t improvement in these r ~ s p e c t s that comparison of 1926 with 1906 or even 1916would make the accomplishmentof those earlier years seerp rather ordinary.Only by such progress does telephone service keep pa ce with the increasing reliance which American business puts on it.
