Fortunate Fact Public Phone Proved to Be No Menace to Your Health
Dr. Clendening reports that millions use telephones daily with no authenticated disease transmission. Studies in Chicago and New York show most germs perish quickly on mouthpieces, with only harmless bacteria and few pneumonia types observed. Interfering with mouthpiece sterilization did not prevent illness and reduced device efficiency.

Fire tears Bell Building on Loudoun Street in blaze
The Bell Building on Loudoun Street was engulfed by a major fire that burned for hours after smoke appeared on Boscawen Street. Firemen sprayed water from multiple angles as the roof collapsed and walls gave way, with extensive loss of tobacco, wine, and restaurant stock estimated around $3,000. The origin remained undetermined, with theories of a faulty wire and furnace area in the cellar. The building fronts Loudoun Street and has historical significance dating back to John N. Bell and Stewart Bell ownership.
