NEW DEPARTURE
TO EE MADE BY TIL OLD PHONE
COMPANY ON ISSUANCE
OF NEW DIRECTORY
Subscribers viii Be Required, for
Good Of the Service. to Call by
Numbers Instead of Names.

The new directory of the South
western Telegraph and Telephone
company will be out Saturday. II
will contain the names of 900 sub
seribers. which is an exceptionally
large list for Pine Bluff. especially
when it is considered that there are
TWO exchanges to divide the business.
As the number Of subscribers is so
large. making it Impossible for any
telephone girl to remember the num-
bers Of every subscriber. as soon as
the new directory is placed in the
hands of the subscribers. a new re-
quirement will be that subscribers de-
string connection must call by num-
seribers. Manager Trapp says he
makes this requirement in order that
better service may be rendered.
The subscriber may object to it
on the grounds that he will have to
consult his directory every time be-
fore ringing the exchange, in order to
obtain the number, but if he refuses
it will necessitate the consulting of
the directory by the girl who responds
to the ring, and not only does he lose
as much time as if he had consulted
the directory himsen, but when the
telephone girl has to consult the direc-
tory she loses enough time to make
several connections, and others must
wait until she looks up the number
for the subscriber who was too lazy
to look it up for himself. The great
er rapldity with which the connections
can be made renders more satisfactory
the telephone service and the sub
scriber not only owes it to himself
and the telephone people to call by
number, but it is a duty he owes to
other telephone subscribers as we'll
In order that as few mistakes az; pos
slble may be made in calling by num-
Der each figure should be called as if
not used in connection with any other
figure. For example, il the number
desired is 294, call, two. nine. four.

attempt on the part of the Colts, of
Moline, to claim the game they for
feited here to the Centrals two weeks
ago through failure to appear with a
full team having been dropped, at
least for the time being.
There is a growing impression that
the Rock Island team did not receive
fair consideration at the meeting of
the directors of the league in Moline
last week and it is probable that the
action then taken will be reconsider
ed for the benefit of the Centrals. As

more time for amusement and recrea-
ton, and more privileges than the
girl in service in the private family,
hotel and restaurant.
Uppermost in the minds of most
girls of the present day is an instinct
i've horror of the work of a servant.
To many the servants duties are re-
garded as ''meniaP' and drudging,
which are associated in their minds
with something humiliating and de-
grading. The long hours of the do
nestle, with little time to devote to
heir own wants and pleasures are
contrasted with the shorter hours of
the factory, the opportunity TO in
dulge in the occasional holiday and
the Sunday recreations and amuse-
ments, together with the fancied feel
ing of independence the factory job
assures, causes the girl who is choos-
ing a means of supporting herself TO
naturally turn to the factory.

RELIABLE SERVANT GIRLS
ARE SCARCE IN THE CITY

The Rock Island housewife is find
ing it more difficult than ever to OBJ
tain experienced servant girls. 1t can
not be said that there is 1earth of
domestic help in the city, but the
scarcity of reliable and experienced
servant girls is entailing not only
great annoyance but positive hard
ship upon many householder who is
dependent upon thir assistance.
Everywhere the same explanation
of this scarcity is advanced. The fac
tories, it is said, are gradually but
surely supplanting the household as
a field for the work of girls and young
women. Each month sees new re-
cruits drawn from the private family
and hotels, to enlist in the great ar
my of operatives of the manufacture
ing institutions. Factories in Rock
Island that employ female help have
added to their force steadily during
the past few years.
The incentive is not hard to find.
The. factory girl enjoys fairly good
wages, she has fewer hours of toll,

So much has been written concern
ing the wonderful healing powers of
the Boy Phenomenon and the many
marvellous cures he has accomplished
in this city in the last two weeks that
to those who reside out of the city it
reads like a romance. So surprising
have been some of the cures that not
only the public but the medical world

SO many strange occurrences go
the rounds of the press and are pub
lished as facts that people become

ally skepticism is rapidly disappear
ing. This is due to the actual expert
ence of our citizens and their public
testimonials regarding them. The

face of such evidence as this. The

Then f. W. jackson. who was d
member of the committee that made
the call for the convention, took the
floor and spoke along the same
lines as Mr.. Alum had done, holding
that it was useless to attempt to put
up ticket with such small repre-
sentatiOn of delegates. He therefore
moved that the convention adjourn
till Wednesday, March 1, at s p. M.
The motion carried.
In the meantime an effort will be
made by those interested to secure
the cooperation of unions that were
not represented last evening. How
ever, the most ardent of the support
ers of the movement are not san
guine of success.
