HELLO" GIRLS VOCATION BOTH
PLEASANT AND REMUNERATIVE

Of the responsible nature Of her em-
ployment Much Is expected of her,
consequently much Is given her. The
rule In the Bell companies is that the
operator must have at least a COM
mon school education she must be
healthy, painstaking and agreeable. 1t
Is perhaps beyond the capacity OF the
average girl to sit down in a busy place
like a central telephone office and at
tend to the hundreds Of calls coming
In to her in the course Of the day
quickly, accurately, and courteously. 1t
Is for this reason that so far as quail
fcations are concerned the Bell COM
panies expect a little better showing
In the candidate for a position at CEN
trail than would be expected of a girl
applying for a position in a dry gods
store; but the girl who shows an apti-
tude for the work will find the position
of operator lucrative and promising.
In some cities where the Bell COM
panies have established telephone
schools even the pupils, green girls
who at first can't tell the difference
between a switchboard and a mantel-
piece, are paid $3.50 a week. AS a rule,
telephone operators are better poid
than clerks In stores: they are better
paid than a good many stenographers.
Besides the good pay there Is always
The telephone operator-at least in a
Bell exchange--ls never discharged
except for incapacity or intractability.
Good Things for Them
Out of this mutual good will exist
ing between the telephone operators
and their employers have grown many
admirable institutions At one of tile

stance, there are library clubs and
what might be called lend-a-hand
clubs. The girls appoint committees who
see to 1t that during the leisure hours
every employe shall have plenty Of
good reading, or, If she prefers, va
viety of light exercise in the exchange
gymnasium, or an opportunity to do
some useful or fancy sewing in the
exchange sewing room. AT one of lthe
exchanges in the Windy city the opera
tors made scrap book-not a scrap
book filled with pictures of callow
youths being kicked down the front
doorsteps by irate papas of Young
America decorating the tails of stray
Irish terriers-but scrap book worth
looking. at and filled with good jests
and ripe philosophy. Some of the
scraps to be found in the book are
both apt and witty. THE busy have
no time for tears"-nor for gossip.
Patience and gentleness are woman's
greatest power" Add intelligence to
this and you have saying applicable
to the girl at central.
According to report, scrap books are
now features of every Bell exchange
in Chicago, and what adds to the in-
terest the girls take in this in the cir
cumstance that the company gives cash
prizes for the best two collections.
The telephone girl is one of the
busiest, most up-to-date and most con-
tented woman in the world, and she
has every reason to be, for she is we'll

Wild and Weird Tale From
New York
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-The dreaded
rosebugs, in greater numbers than ever
before, are swarming the fruit and
flower gardens out on Long Island,
eating up the buds and young fruit
sets"
Sayville woman has devised a
scheme to rid her garden of the rose
bug pest. Obtaining number of moss
bunkers from the local fishermen at
the bay, she hung the fish up by their
tails among the branches OF her fruit
trees. causing the big black flies to
accumulate, which she had previously
observed were deadly enemies of the
rasebug.
The rosbugs are disappearing.
The sight of fish dangling among the
branches of the fruit trees and grape
vines attracts the attention of city
folks, who wonder at the new sort Of
fruit Long Island is producing.

also Chief WilIie of the United States

Louis with a view to determining who
is responsible for the shortage if it
is actually found to exist.
1t is understood that the assistant
treasurer in checking up one of the
cages in his Office, found the cash
short to the amount stated, but on be-
ing confronted with the figures the
clerk in charge insisted that he knew
nothing of the matter and that there
must have been an error in bookkeep

opinion that there was an actual short

FAILURE OF MARRIAGES
THE REASONS SET FORTH

largest audience that has yet greeted
her was present and thoroughly en-
joyed her splendid treatment of the
timely theme
The speaker contended that mar
riage often failed because the con-
tracing parties lacked a high senti-
ment, and oftimes through the i'm
proper education of the girl. The
thoughts of fine home, life of leis-
ure and amusement, the speaker said
often caused girls to marry and after
finding the grim reality of the stu
alton they repented and sought the
divorce courts. 49,

mass of lava, entering the upper win

their household goods to transport
them to place of safety. One vine
yard was surrounded on three sides by
this dividing current, and it vas pos
sible to walk into it among the lines
of trimmed vines and to perceive the
fire still glowing in the towering walls
of lava on each side. The people at
tributed this remarkable phenomenon
to the miraculous Intervention of their
