A LEFT cared" RACE
Telephones arc Responsible for the
hcuteness of Hearing Of the
Left Ear.

Telephones have caused race of
left cared people, and as a result the
large majority of persons can hear
better over a telephone with the re-
cciyer to the left ear Nine out Of
every ten persons who use a telephone
hold the receiver to that ear and
many find it impossible to hear over a
phone through their right car.
The fact that the majority Of men
and women are right-handad and that
the constructors of the first telephones
took due notice of this fact is res
p0nsible for this new condition Of
left-eared people. Watch telephone
for half a day, and it will be seen
that almost every person that uses
that instrument will place the receiver
TO the left ear, Or, even if the instru-
mcnt Is resting on a table, the left
ear will be the one used~- This Is
accounted for by the fact that. the
receiver hangs on the left side Of the
instrument, bat why was fthis done?
Why not put It ON the right side2
Many cities, like Cairo. have tele.
phones now where it is not necessary
To ring any bell in order to call cen.
trail but it has been only in the
last few years that this kind has bee n
in use The FIRST telephone was con
structed with a small crank at the
top Of the box, which had to be turned
to call central This crank was
put on the right side of the box be
caus the makers knew that the large
majority are right handed, and it
would be awkward to turn the crank
with the left hand This made it
necessary to put the receiver on the
left side
Another reason is that many people
VINO use a telephone have occasion TO
write. grocers and other merchants
often taking many orders over their
phones. This in true in many classes
Of business.
When the new instruments. which
Were made without bell and crank
arrangements were constructed the re-
ceivers we're left on the left side. as
the users had become accustomed to
using the receiver at the left car, Il
was found that the hearing in that
ear was better and more sensitive
Every telephone girl in the exchange
has the receiver on her left ear, and
the man who uses his right ear is

WOMEN Do SOME WORK
Toward Cleaning the City Streets
An Even Dozen City Prisoners
Kept Busy,

The working Of women on the city
streets may be a severe shock to the
delicate and sensitive natures Of
some who Witnessed the cleaning OF
Ohio Leyee street yesterday, but the
good accomplished by the welding Of
the brooms and shoyelS would easily
repay for all shocks received.
There are perhaps few people who
realize what class of criminals are
dealt with by the Cairo police force
but if a few minutes were spent in
police court each day there would be
no skeptcs and very few whose sen.
sibilities would be wounded by the
treatment accorded the prisoners.
A Jail sentence of 100 days has nc
error for the average cuIprit 1t
means a place TO sleep, plenty to eat
md the companionship of many Of
heir fellows in crime with whom they
ak, Joke, tell yarns ANA sing day al

added from time TO time to keep them
posted with outside affairs and they
,eem quite contented and happy.
once they are freed from jail, they
return to their haunts and vices only

confinement
Yesterday there were four women
ma eight men, all negroes, engaged
cleaning Ohio Levee street, and tol
.wo or three hours they raised a ter
ible dust and accomplished much

ltaner appearance than usual to the
