The TARBOX LUMBER Co, m *m s e t NEW YEAR REVELS IN LARGE CITIES PASSING New Custom I , to Remain at Horn* and Exchange Greeting* Over Telephone. Old fashioned ways of celebrating the arrival of tlm New Year ami of exchanging greetings of good will are matting room for a new and modern custom—“Happy New Year" yia tele- phone. Jn thousands of homes in Chicago, the infant, 1814, wae greeted by the merry jingle of the telephone bell. Thousands of miles of telephone wire were Jammed, with “Happy New Year.” • Chicago is used as an Illus­ tration because an ingenious telephone' man there discovered the custom in a novel way. He read It on a meter. There is in each telephone ex­ change a meter, called the "ammeter,” by means of which the amount of electricity used in transmitting all the messages through the switch­ boards in that exchange a t any single instant catt be determined In' terms of “amperes." It fifty conversations were In progress and the ammeter neddle registered 45 amperes, an ad- vanoa of 60 amperes would indicate the number, of conversations at that moment had increased. Meter Show* Many Calls. In one of the populous districts of Chicago the telephone man watched his ammeter closely for fifteen min­ utes of the old year and ten minutes of the 'New Year. At 11:45 it regis­ tered only 65-amperes.-For- ten min­ utes the needle rose two and one-half amperes a minute. Then, the rush was on. At ll:5G it Jumped suddenly to 90, In another minute it had reaehed 100; at 11:58 it passed 170, bobbed hastily over the 200 ampere mark a t 11:59 and halted for a fleet­ ing second, just as the old year died. At 12:01 the needle continued up­ ward at the rate of four amperes a mipute until exactly 12:09, when ft reached the 265 ampere m ark ,. Seldom does the switchboard a t that ex­ change carry so heavy a load. The operators could hardly handle it. Be­ fore the New Year was one hour old the needle was back to 30, the quiet zone. Reports from other Chicago ex­ changes, as Well as from other cities, give ample evidence of the' growth of the custom of spreading New Year’s cheer and. welcome via the telephone Must Be Striven. For. The old saw runs, “Sweetest nuts have hardest, shells." This, we sup­ pose, is a quaint way of saying that, everything worth the having requires hath pains and strains to acquire.
