disconnected. Without this board,
a number may be called without
the person calling ever being noti
fied of the change.

There will be 42,000 feet of cable
installed overhead and underground
in the two towns. All equipment
will be new. Telephones will be re
ceived in lots of 400 starting about
February 1. They will be installed
as they are received, and will be
used as manual telephones until
the system is cut over the dial.
With the new system the tele
phone service and the number of
calls that can be put through will
be increased 50' per cent. Each day
there are approximately 15,000
calls from Bryan, 4,000 between
Bryan and College Station. There
are about 8,000 each day at Col
lege Station. The largest number
of calls put through was on Thanks
giving Day when the Aggie-Texas
game was played. That day 21,-
000 calls were put through between
Bryan and College Station.

SLOW-BURNING
CAMELS
Hi
THE CENTURY READY TO "HIGHBALL,” as they say in railroading! Engineer
Walter L. Bronson (above) swings up into the cab of Number 5449, one of the big
Hudson type locomotives which flash at 80 miles an hour across the landscape be
tween New York and Chicago in a day-in, day-out epic of modern railroad speed.

TTERE’S EXTRA MILDNESS, EXTRA
11 COOLNESS, AND EXTRA FLAVOR,
and here’s ivby: Camels are slower-burning.
They have thoroughbred quality through and
through. Finer, more expensive tobaccos are
used, in the first place. And these choice tobac
cos are combined into a matchless blend.
Smoke a Camel. Notice how slowly it burns.
That is your clue to true cigarette enjoyment—
the "extras” of mildness, coolness, flavor—and
— extra smoking in every cigarette. Camels
burned 25% slower than any other cigarette in
recent tests-(full details below). You’ll always
rejoice over the day you switched to Camels!
TAKING IT EASY, Engineer Bronson says: "No
speed for me in my cigarette. That slower-burning
feature makes sense to me. I’ve been a Camel smoker
for years. I know Camels are milder and always
taste swell. And—on the side—I don’t object a bit
to getting those extra smokes per pack.”

In recent laboratory tests, CAMELS burned 25%
slower than the average of the 15 other of the
largest-selling brands tested —slower than any
of them. That means, on the average, a smok
