I When be came to the wild, lonely , valley of Nemea the lion, which hap pened to be very hungry, came out to meet Hercules.

I Hercules stepped briskly np and, fit- I ting an arrow to his bow, sent It straight at the lion's head, but tho brute's skin was so thick that the sharp point could not pierce it Her cules tried arrow after arrow, hoping that at last ho might And a tender spot When the last arrow was gone ho picked u p his club and a s the lion drew near le t it fall with a heavy stroke on tho creature's bead.

But now—almost overnight—Port Ni agara. Is wide awake. Soldiers, regu lars and others I n the making, are here, there, and everywhere. Twenty-live hundred young men, mostly from Penn sylvania, .are bustling, hustling with the precision that denotes war-time efficiency. In the story of this sudden revival- at Fort Niagara there stands out as one of the most interesting features, the work done by telephone men I n setting up In the short time of she days an ex tensive telephone system where prac tically none existed before. It was a war job. As such i t demanded and re ceived the rapid and systematic treat ment 'typical of the Bell System when emergencies are to be met . Quick work was done as has been done many times before when floods and fires* and wind and sleet have wreaked destruc tion to telephone lines and service. On April 28, 1017, -vrltes The Tele phone Review, N. Y., the telephone com pany was advised officially\ that Fort Niagara, N. Y., was t o bo occupied and used as a training camp for officers of the United States Army, and a request was received I n Buffalo from officials of the company in Ne w York to make a survey of the camp. On April 24 division officials of th e telephone, com pany conferred with Major Z. Vance, commanding officer at the fort, and I t was decided to locate the private branch exchangeln a building adjacent to the post headquarters. Details of the required facilities were then worked out and orders for central offlco equipment, outside plant, and subscriber sets, were telephoned to the division office in Buffalo. Telephone service wa s being furnish ed Fort Niagara by a single trunk line from the central office a t Youngstown, connected with a SO-llne magneto signal corps switchboard in post headquar ters. Investigation Bhowed that the Government-owned telephone plant, TELEPHONE OPERATOR TWICE A HEROINE particularly the outside, was not of sufficient size \to bo of use fo r the pro posed enlarged system. Jn order to meet the needs of the Government without delay the pro posed two-position magneto switch board was obtained by cutting out of Bervice on e magneto position at each of two central offices. On April 25 a company truck secured the switchboards and started for Fort Niagara, which they reached i n the aft ernoon of the same day . On account of the Increased traffic, it was necessary to add a third position to the cen tral office switchboard at Youngstown, and a one-position magneto switch board was disconnected from another central office and reached Fort Niag ara on tho afternoon of April 25. Fort Niagara was not provided with electricity for lights and power, but contracts ha d been let b y the Quarter master for the erection of poles on the Reservation. This work was delayed, but arrangements were made whereby the Telephone Compnny furnished la bor to assist th e contractor In placing poles. This pole work was started on April 2ft, and was completed April. 28. The electric light company had placed poles on the main road from Youngs town to post headquarters, an d ar rangements were made to use this polo line to suspend th e telephone cable. With the exception of a 50-pair cable, which was ordered from New York, all the «able was placed before the end of April 28. Cable splicers started their work April 28, and when the 50- pair cable arrived from New York on April 30 they ha d about completed their work on cable thnt had been placed- On th e morning of May 1 the last cable was spliced and cut Into tho swltchbonrds, nn d about 2 p. m. on May 1 the private branch exchango was in working order. The Installation force had provided stations where designated by the com manding officer, and as fast as the new barracks were completed exten sion sets were placed therein. Each of the permanent buildings was equip ped with coin box public telephones. SONG FOR THE \BIT\ ( DONE AT HOME' Miss Marion A . feearlo, night opera tor at Oity Island, Is twice a heroine. Twice, to our knowledge, at least.

Re cently a more severe experience came to Miss Hearle. A s the newspaper account says, '\City Island sleeps well at night, and only one operator is needed.\ This Is. Miss Hearle. A fire started in the building next door to th o telephone office, a building occupied b y the post office, and swept through sev eral adjoining houses', Including the telephone building. In answering the alarm, It is report ed, a fire boat went aground on a sand bar, and a hook and ladder truck met a stone wall, which prevented Its ar rival at the fire. Miss Hearle, how ever, was deterred neither by bars nor walls, but stuck to ber post, send ing ou£ alarms ana doing what was needful until a* policeman ordered her to leave the building. Miss Hearle remained even then, bu t the policeman finally picked ber u p and carried he r fo safety. Of such stuff is Bell Service made.— Tho Telepha e Review, N. Y.
