Efforts to perfect dial automatic switching began soon after Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone in 1876. Some 3,000 patents for machine-switching devices have been filed in the U. S. alone. Out of all these patents, two main systems have evolved, the step-by-step and the panel.* The telephone subscriber cannot tell the two systems apart; the dials and the act of dialing look identical. But in the step-by-step system the mechanical combination necessary to ring the desired number is built up directly, by separate impulses from the dial. In the panel system, a more...

Boston. Edward Jackson Holmes, director of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, paid $35,000 for two tiny wood panel paintings, supposedly by Giambattista Cima de Conegliano. They were proven fakes. For his two Coneglianos and $85,000 he was offered a Velasquez portrait of a man, which hung proudly in the museum for several weeks. A fake also, it is now ignominiously in the cellar...
