MANAGER OF THE OPERATORS' SCHOOL LECTURING ON SWITCH¬ BOARD OPERATING,
Three goveriiiiig (iiicslions have to be considered by tlie girl who can or will choose her iirofcssloii thojgiitfully and wisely, observes The Tclephoue Re¬ view, N.

But tlii.s 'inertill of selecti'iii Is a poor guide to success or li;i[iiiiiiess. uud where it cun be •)! (Meoiiie the rewnrd hi grent,

It sliKiild I.e work tlmt con¬ tributes somel Iling to the sum total of the hap]iliiesM or uscfiiluess or prog¬ ress of the wiirld's living so that In doing It filic is ddiiij; her share of the world's work. It Hlioiild he to herself n gate to fuller living. This flnal point 1ft perhaps Ihe most comprehensive, for It Includea not only the necessity that her work ti»' lieullhy physically, but that It afford op|K)rfuiiltles for growth—means of self-Improvement not only in tho skill reiiulnnl for Ihe wiirk.

This threefold Ideal of work may savor of Utopia, hut It is neither unat¬ tainable nor rare.

This leaves her mind free to deal with the varying sltuutioiis wlilcli sli(> will meet when Ihe public, in¬ stend of her insfructors, nre at tht other end of the wires she is handling. Preparatory to this range of diversified deinnnds. the Instructors .send over these practice wires every conceivable viiflety of call or (iiiestion, so that the student lenriiR from nctual experience Just how to deal with every contingen¬ cy that can he thought of.
Not less than in other Institutions do I the heads of the Telephone Operators' ' Schools vitalize iind Inspire the entire school. A-nd here Is one of the great¬ est sources of strength lu the Opera¬ tors' Schools.

No Chanc* For Profit In Them Under Preeent Teata, Grace Says—Poaaible Explanation of the Price* Made by an Englieh Firm Which Bida Under All American Manufacturera.
Si>enklng recently before the Terra¬ pin Ciub of Fhihidelphia, Eugene G, Grace, President of the Bethleheui Steel Company, said In part:
In a peculiar sense Bethleheni Steel serves the American iieople.
For e-nuiple, though we hnve been able to diptalD in Euroix- almost any price, ve have adhered, in our charges to the I'niled ."States Goveriiment. to the basis of (irices estnhlislied before the war hcitnu.
We agreed —if the Government would abandon 'ts plans fnr a Fedeial plnul— to make armor for our .\nvy «/ nny prii-e the (lovcrnmcnt itself inight eon sidrr fair.
Our ordiinnee plants are nt the dis posal of 'he liiitioii at a fair operutini; ' co-st, plus u sinnll inniglii. thus saving i the Govcriiineiit iiive^tiueiit and de : preciatidii.
One of tile special needs of the nevt ' navy Is sixleeu-iuch guns—guns si.xty ¦ feet long and ciipahle of hurtling a '_'IHX) pound sliell with such power 11 nd accuracy as to hit a .'(I loot si/uarc tar¬ get lifteeii miles away,
VVe have undertaken voluntarily to construct, at a cost of $4..'»l)0,ii'M). a plant fitted to build sixteen-iiicli guns, I
Under no conceivable eircumstaiiees can orders wliicb we may receive for
• this plant pay even a fair return on
, the investment.
! Consldernhle comment has been made | upon the fact that a British manufac '. turer recently bid less thau American ; manufacturers for sixteen and four
, teen-inch shells for the navy,
I am unable to state the basis iipoc ] which the Kiigllsh bid was made. It |
j should be rcuiembered. however, thai ' this bid was for a specillc shell, sam [
I pies of which are being sent over foi 1
: test—a test not yet made.
Two years ago we took an order foi j 24fK> fourteen Inch armor-plerclng shell; at a contract price nf $7fW,t»fMl, to he delivered, within a cei tain lime or wi had to pay a large penalty.
The only specificntions for tnnkliip these shells are that they shnll be of a certain size and must pierce armor-plnte nt a c(>rtaln velocity on Im¬ pact. It is impossible to foretell Iht exact conditions of the tests.
We hiid made large (iiiaiililleR of shelli-' in the piisi wliicli hnd been accepted, Mnt In I'lfl 'In;: this pnrtlciitiir order ttjr Dc'i.nrtli'^iit ;'lt(.i'od the nni'le at which Ihe if«ied hliells uiii>t pii-rte armor- ;iiiiLe. The result, however, has been ab.^ui.ite i;inl'i!i!,\ o,i (nil i.:i:'t I" l':'" ¦ ¦" ;:: :i')y (|Ua;iIily, -di'llr wlii-b v.'ill Ulcer t\:r-rv iidvel f^SlK. In ffict, tvp 1 i.inv df III process of projectile-mak- imr tliroiigh which it is possible to pro diice hi (iiinniities shells which will con form to the reiiiiirements.
The result 'tit that up to nnw on thnt coiitrnct of S;T(!S,IKi(), we Imve put into ndmil opeiatiiii: expense .'SI-IT.."^Sl,, and liiive licen penalized for iKin-delivery if r,Ci,714,. a I' Ial of $',)13,r.'J,",,, with uo U'ceilits (vh,'iie\^er,
'^ll.'ll was the experieii.'e in the lt'.rlil of which wc were called iiiioii recent¬ ly f.) hid for sixleetl-ilich shells
We lihl dll these shells at apfu'dxl- mntely the snme rnte per pound as tlmt (if 11 fonileen-ineh shell conlrnct of one yciir ami upon which the tJov- ernuiciit awiirdcd eoiitrncts.
We have not the slightest idea what profit there will bc In the making of these shells. We do not know that tliere will be nny, Tliere is no (^ertain ty that it would be possibk- for us to deliver a shell to iiieet tho test.
Fnr ollicers In the Navy to assiinir thnt any bid mnde ur.der such condi flons is •exorbitant" Is utterly unfair
We bid on the new battle-cruisers sums which Navy department experts, after examlnnlion of our books, found would yield a profit of less than fen per cent. \\"e agreed to nssiinie risks for Increased costs of materinls and la bor, thnt made It possible that these contracts might yield no profit what ever.
The costs run heyond the amount ap¬ propriated by Congress nn the basis of the cost estlniates made a year ago.
And because shipbuilders could not alter the Inexorable cost facts and re duce bids to early estimates of the Navy Department, the prices are called "exorbitunt."
It would be a real advantage to he relieved of this naval construction. The profit from it cannot pussibly amount to much, and the responsibility ts enor mons.
We have determined to make thi'i oCfer to the American Government,
••If you will build two of the battle .-rulsers In Goieriimeiit navy yai'ds we will biilld the oilier two at the as (¦ert,'%iii(>d ensl of biiildiirj; the ships In the Gdveriimeiit yards, without nddl tloiiiil expense or commissions of any kind. We will also cdiitract to have .)ur ships ready for service ahead ol '•« Government ships."
