The Forward Look OMORROW"S tele- phone requirements must be foreseen today; the service of the future must be provided for in the present. In the America of tomor- row new industries will de- velop, trade will increase, residential sections will re- place the vacant areas of today. There must be new telephone buildings and switchboards; millions of miles of new wire and cable; yet a largerarmy of men and women to build and operate the everincreasing facilities; more and more trained ex- direct. BELL SYSTEM One System - ecutives to manage and It costs about $385,000,000 a year to keep ahead of America's demand for tele- phone service. If this vast sum is to be spent wisely and efficiently, future de- mands must be forecast with as much precision as is humanly possible so that materials, money, man- power will nct be lacking when the need comes. Only through the forward look is the telephone kept ready to meet the growing demands of a growing nation. ILLINOIS BELL TELEPHONE COMPANY Universal Service August 6, 192/ a Purple Fare Tough Going in Gridiron Schedule This Fall Northwestern's grid eleven will be called upon to face the toughest sche- dule in the history of the school this fall. Not only does the Purple team meet the strongest foes in the Big Ten but the arrangement of the games causes Coach Hanley"s boys to face such opposition as Ohio, Illinois and Missouri on successive week-ends at the beginning of the season. South Dakota will open the fall campaign at Dyche stadium on Oc- tober 1. The boys from the north- west have been opening the football season at Northwestern for a number of years and always put up a tough scrap. Then comes Utah on October 8. This team was one of the strong- est in the far west last year and will be a formidable opponent for an early season game. Ohio with one of the strongest teams in recent years, will entertain the Wildcats at the conference opener at Columbus October 15. Bucking up against such a formidable opponent for the league opener will necessi- tate Coach Hanley getting his boys in midseason form several weeks earlier than usual. This is the first time that these two schools have met since 1916 when the Buckeyes smashed the Purple hopes of a championship by defeating them in the final game of the season. Then without an opportunity to catch their breath the Wildcats will come back home to meet the Illini on the 22nd. Considerable rivalry exists between the two schools and a great contest is expected. K. IL. Wilson, athletic director at Northwestern, was a former Illinois gridder and for that reason the rivalry will be all the more intense. Following these engagements come Purdue, Indiana and Towa. All three teams are expected to be much stronger than last year and will give the Purple considerable to worry about. ' BAHAI ACTIVITIES ; The Sunday meetings at 3 o'clock in the studio of Louis Bourgeois, architect, 536 Sheridan road, Wil- mette, are somewhat in the nature of a forum, it is announced. "Divine Wisdom" is the subject of the study class at the home of C. P. Christen- sen, 1138 Oakwood avenue, Wednes- days at 8 p. m. A series of conven- tions for amity between the colored and white races, arranged by the national inter-racial committees of the Bahais of the United States and Canada, are to be held in the leading cities throughout the United States. The first was at Green Acre, Eliot, Maine, the educational center, in July. Arrangements are being made to hold meetings in churches of Chicago and towns along the north shore, to be addressed by- speakers of all races, re- gardless of creeds. The circular states: "It is our hope that the spirit of these conferences will spread throughout America, helping to bring the peace which is a solace to all mankind. The present effort contem- plates the great need of inter-racial understanding in all the New England cities as elsewhere in America." TONS OF FIREWORKS For the fireworks program at the Illinois State Fair, four tons of high explosives are enroute to Springfield by express. Ten thousand separate pieces will be used each night, Mon- day, Aug. 22, to Friday, Aug. 26, in- clusive. It takes two and one-quarter miles of fuse to touch off all the pow- der that will be burned to entertain the public.
