Toll calls will be divided into two groups -"station to Btation' calls, where the person calls only for a number and not for a specific person; and "person to person" calls, where the person asks for some particular party. The rate for the latter service) is one-fourth greater than the sta tion to station" call rate which 1b I determined by the air line distance between toll points and is computed on the basis of 6c for each 6 miles, j up to-24 miles, and 5c for each 8 miles beyond this point. i Extra charge will be made In the case that the 'person being called can not be reached by telephone within one hour, the exact address not hav ing been given. This charge Is called the "report charge" and is also made when the calling party is absent or will not talk when the connection is made within one hour. The "report charge" will not be made if the call Is completed on the day filed. TMb charge is to cover compensation for the operating work and is usually about one-fourth of the "station to station" rate. Special charge Is also made where a messenger Is required to bring the person wanted to the telephone. The rate for this service is usually about one-half greater than the "station to station" rate pluB the messenger fee. "Appointment" rate is charged when the person calling sets a specific time at wmch he will talk to the per son being called. This rate is the same as the messenger call rate less the mesenger fee. , Reduced rates for night service on, the "station to station" basis only are as follows: 8:30 p. m. to midnight about one-half the "station to sta tion" day rate; midnight to 4:30 p. m. about one quarter of the "sta tion to station" day rate. .

The guns were called the 15B mlllmeter howitzer and the 155 Millimeter Filloux rifle. They 'had never beforo been manu factured in America. A certain re coil or recuperating apparatus was required for these guns, but this mechanism had never been built hero. The problem involved the gi gantic task of constructing a special plant and the designing and' malting of special machinery and tools, with the greatest possible speed. Pershing badly needed guns as well as men. The seemingly impossible must be accomplished. ' ' Dodge Brothers advised the war department that their resources were at the government's disposal when ever needed. The government offi cials came to them with their pro blem. After a hurried trip for the purpose of inspecting the French ap paratus in operation, Messrs. John F. .NEW TODAY.' LOST Brooch with fire agate set. Phone 286-J. Reward.

Dodge advised Wash ington that they wouldundertake the 'project provided the government had sufficient confidence in their ability to permit them to. manufacture the mechanism in their own way. On Saturday, October 7. 1917, of ficial word was received that their proposnl had been accepted in its en tirety. The machinery of Dodge Brothers' great organization was set la motion and by Monday night representatives of the city water board, the depart ment of public works and the street railway company were on the propos ed' building site; arranging for wa ter, sewers and carlines. Before day break a spur track laid, and carloads of building material were already on the way to the vacant (property. In a few hours it had been transformed from an unplowed field to a veritable babel of laborers, concrete mixers, steam shovels, cranes, switch engines, etc. The concrete and all-steel build ing 600x800 feet, covering an area of 11 acres began to take form. 1 The Monday after the government contract was approved, Dodge Bro thers had' the Bethlehem Steel Com pany on the long distance' telephone. Thursday those great shops began to roll steel for this new ordnance plant. Construction went on like magic. Within 30 days all excavations were completed and a concrete flooring covered the entire 1 1 acres. Machinery was being gathered from every available source. Some had to be built, it was impossible to buy any on the market. Dodge Brothers automobile works were utilized. One hundred and twenty-nine special ma chines were designed by Dod'ge Bro thers and .built in their motor car plants. A train of special machinery consigned to the Russian government was caught at the docks and turned back to Detroit. The recoil apparatus itself Is a fine example of careful manufacturing. It Is known as the hydraulic pneumatic type and its functions is to prevent the gun from tearing itself to pieces as It fires. As. the barrel of the gun t-ecoils, this apparatus checks the backward movement gradually, and automatically returns the barrel of the gun to its original position. With the gun placed at an angle of 45 degrees, this aparatus returns the 'uarrcl to its original position in 13 3econds. This is a 'vital 'part, be cause accuracy and rapid' firing are the tests of heavy artillery efficiency. Each recoil is made from a solid billet of steel. The rifle billet re ceived from the rolling mills weighs 7800 pounds and Is 7 feet 9 inches long, by 27 inches wide byi 3ft inches high. Finished and assembled, this weighs 3150 pounds. The howitzer :lllet weighs 3875 pounds. These massive pieces of mechanism must be made with great care. Each cylinder Is bored and ground' and lapped to the degree of fineness customary only in the most delicate Instruments. .Many of these guns have thunder ed away on the western front. Dodge Brothers feel gratified that they were able to place their resources, which were of great aid in bringing this conflict to a successful close, at the government's disposal.
