Snyder, area manager for the North western Bell Telephone company. After that hour all local and lon; distance calls. placed by Bismarck telephone users will be handled through the new switchboard, which contains a number of features re- cently perfected and not found on the switchboard now being used, and which will result in an improved service here, Mr. Snyder says. Most Modern Switchboard ,On the switchboard now being used, the signal associated with the line of each individual subscriber appears at only one place. However, on tho- new switchboard the line of each in- dividual subscriber will be connected ahd arranged so that any operator working at the board can answer him | when he places a call. That is, if the first operator who sees the line signal happens ¢o be busy, some other operator at the board who is not busy at the time will answer and handle the call. < Another feature of the new switch- board is the equipment .which will enable a calling subscriber to quick- ly place a second call immediately after completing a first call, or to reach an operator again on a call in process of completion by merely de- pressing and . releasine the receiver hook as you do at présent.~ How- ever, ‘depressing the hook will dis- connect the party calling and, there- fore, care should be taken not to de-, Press the hook after a connection is established, it is pointed out. Ringing equipment in the new cen- tral office will ring the bell at the called subscriber's telephone’ inter- mittently and immediately after the operator has established the connec- tion ‘on the switchboard. The bell at the called telephone will ring un- til some one answers, or the calling subscriber hangs up. Audible Ringing System At the same time the Dell is being; rung at the called telephone, the call- | ing subscriber will hear. ‘burring”| sound at regular intervals in This sound will indfcate to h this Although a large crew of men has been employed at the Northwest- Thayer Avenue, ree is of the most |ern Bell Telephone company’s new building at the corner of Thayer i i avenue and Fifth street for several months installing equipment valued at approximately $75,000, the building will actually be put into use at miamght tonight when the switchover will be made from the old central cffice on Third street to th in the neighborhood of $50,000. and the installation of equipment throwing of a switch at midnight e new one. The building itself cost Construction was begun last August started in October. Simply by the tonight. the city’s entire telephone system will be changed over to the switchboards in the new building and it is said such elaborate preparations have been made for the transfer that persons carrying on a telephone eunversation at the moment will hardly be aware anything unusual is taking place.

MAY SHORTEN | OPEN SEASON | ON CHICKENS Governor Asks Game and | Fish Commission to Make | Survey of State ; Requests that the game and fish commission make a survey of the state to determine whether a shorten- ing of the season on prairie chickens and grouse would be desirable was made by Governor Sorlie today in a letter to M. A. Hoghaug Devils Lake, commission secretary. Since ordering a closed season on ruffled grouse in four northern coun- ties at the suggestion of the game board, he has been flooded with let- ters suggesting that similar steps be taken to protect native field birds this year, the governor said. Persons writing:from all parts of the state say that grouse and prairie chiekens ate very scarce and express fear that they may be almost exter- minated thie year. Heavy snows late lin the spring. in the northern part of the state not only prevented hatch- ing but killed off many old birds, some of the letter writers say. i The governor said idea is to curtail the shooting season to five days or a weck in case a survey shows that protection for native birds is | in order to insure their | ion for succeeding years. | A law passed last winter permits | the governor to open or close sea-| sons on game: upon recommendation of the game and fish board. | | Says Tests Prove _ * 2,75 Beer Harmful: | Minneapolis, Aug. 27—(P)—A._ two-! year investigation has disclosed that| 2.75 per cent beer contains enough ‘alcohol to be injurious to anyone who drinks it, Miss Cora Frances Stod- datd, of Beston, deelared today at the annual convention of the Women's Christian Temperance Union. | The 7 peeehen will base upon Miss 8 lard’s report its stand against light wines and beer. \ Experiments in the research were he planned to search 300 {carried or in the nutrition labora-' the practice of the latter is to con- miles east of the Bahamas with two|tory of the Carnegie Institution at tend that sy, they had drank i ouple| of pints of the beer.” ise Ealo The report advocated an experi- nt ratot for every court Feager of the Worth Dekets me! hays ‘eager of the No: jie jing, iquor evidence, if {~ r ‘ ‘ still over most of North Dakota today THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE PRICE FIVE CENTS ENGLAND Something for the stage and sereen spheres to talk nbout-—the -engage- ment of Kathe: Young Wilson and Richard B m ine is one of Bro yor- ites and Dick—-well know him and remember that a Paris di- vorce not long since parted him and Mary Hay.

The explanation, according to Frank Milhollan, chairman of the railroad board, is that the federal ey desires unbiased testimony as to North Dakota conditions for the purpgse of comparing it with testi- mony offered by witnesses for the shippers and witnesses for the rail- roads.

F., Aug. 27.4) — The monoplane “Pride of Detroit” hopped off for Croydon, England, at . m, eastern standard time to- day. Tho Stinson-Detroiter, which. car- ries William 8. Brock, pilot, ana. Ed- ward F. Schjee, Detroit business tinh,’ is off on the first legiof an attempt: to set a new record for a trip around the world, Arriving yesterday afternoon from Old Orchard, Me., the plane was re- fueled and made ready for a start today to take advantage of the splen- did weather which had attended the flight thus far. Dawn today again found the weather well-nigh perfect. A light wind blew from the north- west at about 10 miles an hour while visibility was excellent. 2,350-Mile Trip Ahead The record of 28 days, 14 hours and 30 minutes for globe ¢ircling, which Brock and Schlee hope to break, was set last year by Edward 8. Evans and Linton Wells, who used ships and trains as well as airplanes. The distance between Harbor Grace and Croydon, near London, is 2,350 miles. The Pride of Detroit has already negotiated easily at an average speed of about 100 miles an hour a hop from Curtis Field, N. Y., to Old Or- chard, Me., and that of yesterday of about’ 1,000 miles to Harbor Grace. Brock, after looking the plane over carefully here, said it was in perfect shape for the transatlantic jump. About 350 gallons of gasoline were added to the residue in the tanks here, Makes Perfect Take-off The plane rose gracefully and cir- cled around the flying field once be- fore heading straight out to sea. There was not a cloud in the sky. Automobiles lined the sides of the field. As the plane took to the air cheers went up from hundreds of spectators. e The flyers had slept well for seven hours and were in excellent condi- tion. After a hearty breakfast of bacon and eggs they drove in an automobile to the field, tuned up heir plane, remarked that they were too busy to talk, waved a goodbye and were off for England. ANOTHER CROSS-OCEAN FLIGHT IS PLANNED Curtiss Field, N. Y., Aug. 27—@)— Phil Wood, Detroit’ merchant, and pilot Duke Schiller made a secret get- away at 7 a.m, today for Selfridge Field, Mich., on their way.to Windsor, Ontario, whence they plan to take off as soon as weather permits for Wind- sor, England. The two pilots, who had made a start yesterday ‘only to be forced back by bad weather, determined on the second attempt when they were informed that Edward F. Schlee and William Brock had hopped off in their monoplane, Pride of Detroit, from Harbor Grace, N. F., for Croy- don, England, The second hop-off of the “Royal Windsor” was witnessed only by the mechanics who had prepared the ;Plane for the flight. Windsor, Ont., Aug. 27.—()—Paul Wood and “Duke” Schiller, aviators, who plan to fly from Windsor, Ont., to Windsor, England, landed at 'W: er Field near here at 1:17 p. m. this afternoon, following their trip from Curtiss Field, N.
