DENTISTS ARE LOSERS Three Offices in Plttock Block En tered Saturday Night, but Only Small Amount - of Loot Is Obtained.

Entrance to each office was gained by means of a "Jimmy." but the total amount of loot taken, it was said, would not amount to more than (200. The Wills Dental - Laboratory was the heaviest loser. It was reported that dental offices In the Stevens building had been entered, but detectives who worked on the case yesterday said that the three burgla riesMn.the Pittock building dental of fices were all that were reported yes terday to the detective bureau.

None of the scrap gold was taken, and all that the prowlers secured In his office was a small amount of his finished work. It was just a year ago that numer ous dental offices were looted. As In the present series of robberies the of fices were "jimmied" open. Last year similar thefts were reported at Salt Lake and Seattle and detectives yes terday advanced the theory that the burglars of a year ago are at work again.

It has been a part of the task of the Bell System to supply telephone service and equipment for this important phase of the Nation's military activity and for the many camps where our citizen-soldiers have been tem porarily concentrated. , Each important camp has its special switchboards with a trained operat ing force ; pole lines Unking even the farthest outposts with headquarters, and bringing all under direct central control. Many new lines have been built to give ample connections with the head quarters of military departments, state capitals and with the National capital. This has required large additions to central office equipment in adjacent towns and cities and large increases in the number of operators. The great military cantonments in various parts of the country now under construction, which will house more than 600,000 men, will require " a vast additional amount of telephone apparatus and equipment. ,' ' In addition to the constantly increasing needs of the Government for telephone service and equipment, we must also meet the great and growing needs, of countless industries expanded and accelerated by the war.
