~ STOLEN FROM CRIB, b. STILL AS MISSING BLAKELY COUGHLIN, WOMAN'S FOOTPRINTS LATEST CLUE FOUND IN KIDNAPPING CASE «Continued From First Page.) Pennsylvania history, for this boy was not taken fromthe street, as ©harlie Ross was stolen, but was @®atched from his own crib in a room @pening into that of his father and mother. The sun was up when the fudge followed the marks of man and woman over recently tilled fields all the way to Black Horse School, in a back road dettlement which got its Mame @ century ago from Biack Horse Tavern.

You know that there is @ serious shortage of raw materials and of service.or article can be delivered. “fabricated articles. You know that tremendous obstacles must be overcome before any, Keep these facts in mind as you read this story of ‘the achievement of the telephone organization in New York City. Coming out ef the war sadly depleted in numbers, this organization faced a problem that might well have disheartened any organ!- sation, It had to overcome the effect of a two years’ war embargo on commercial tele- phone construction, replace the reserves used up during the-war and build to meet the great , est demand for new service in its history. And ft had to do these things while handling the greatest volume of telephone traffic ever orig- inated in the city of New York. New workers, new buildings, new switch- « boards, new relays, new distributing boards, new conduits, new cables, new pdile lines, new facilities of every kind were needed in greater quantities than ever before and at a time when these things were demanded by every other. section of the country. The telephone men and women in New York City were given-a task of almost in- credible size and difficulty and they under- took itn the same way and with the same . spirit that Rowan showed when he carried the message to Garcia in Cuba back in '98. You remember the story. Nothing could stop that man Rowen and nothing could stop these telephone workers. They have built up their organization. They have increased the cen- tral office operating force alone from 8,600 “en January 1, 1919, to over Baty on May 18,°1920. They have improved the service. Calls are now answered in half the time it took te anewer them at'the beginning of the year, During the epidemic of influenza and the storms of last wintér when thousands were kept from work and telephone traffic was . their numbere cut down w sickness and in- ; ability to reach their offices, stayed on the job and kept the service from breaking down, In the past four months they not only have improved the service but they have succeeded in placing enough new equipment of all kinds to install 85,418 new telephones in New York City, They have done these Things despite the delays and obstacles that have held back pro- duction in the telephone business and in every other business, These difficulties are increas- ing . Production daily grows more uncertain. The supply of facilities for providing telé- phone service is decreasing and at the same time the demand for service in'New York City ts steadily increasing. This demand was unprecedented at the first of the year. It has increased aince then and it is growing more rapidly thah new facilities for service can be provided, There now aro 64,848 applications for service on our books. In filling these applicar tions precedence will be.given to those of an emergent nature such as service for doctors, nurets, hospitals, cases of serious illness, fire and police; second, service required as a busi- ness. necessity; third, service that is a con- venience. By following this classification the most urgent ticeds for service will receive the _ earliest attention. ‘The public.of New York City can rest as- sured that the 25,000 telephone workers in this city who slready have achieved great ro- sults in the face of great odds will continue to carry on. They will leave nothing undone to complete the task of expanding the city’s telephone system and further improving its quality in the shortest possible time. them.
