KIND OFFERS Of
COAST POLO MEN
Hawaii Players Would Get a
Great Reception in
California.

While it seems improbable that
polo team will go to the Coast next
spring from Hawaii. the assurances
that such an aggregation would have
a warm welcome and would be given
royal time are coming in from all
sides. The California players are only
too anxious to. have a chance to play
against the local men and would well
come the opportunity to show their
appreciation by entertaining them.
BY the last mail from the Coast one
of the local polo enthusiasts received
letter from Dr. E. J. Boeseke, the
captain of the Santa Barbara polo
team. in which expressions of pleas
ure at the idea that Hawaii may visit
that locality with a polo team are
abundant. DR.. Boeseke does not stop
here by any means. He makes the
suggestion that it may be that only
four players will come from this city,
and. in case one should be laid up
through sickness or accident, offers to
act as substitute on the Hawaii team
and help them out in every way that
he can. He states that he has strlnS
of fourteen ponies which he should be
glad to place at the disposal OF the
Hawaii men, in case their own are
pIaved out from the many tourna-
ments in which they will be invited to
take part.
Such expressions coming from man
of DR.. Boeseke's standing both socially
and in the polo field, for he is said to
be. one of the best all-round men in
California, cannot but please the local
men. and even if they are unable to
avail themselves of his kindness, they
will nevertheless appreciate deeply the
spirit in which the offer comes. 1t is
safe to say that if a polo four should
go to California next spring they
would be given a reception which
would be long remembered.
Nothing more in regard to the COM
ing of a polo team to this city from
Burlingame has been heard of, but the
local men are anxiously awaiting news
in this line The rules under which
polo is played here differ from those
on the Coast in regard to offside play
and to the hooking of mallets, but an
agreement on this matter could be
easily reached. If the California men
decided to come here, there will be
polo seen here which should outclass
any which was ever seen, in the
Islands.

TELEPHONE TALKS.
"THE LINE is BUSY"

One of the mysteries of "CentraP to most
telephone users is how the operator can tell
so quickly when "the line is busy" There
are still few people, perhaps, who believe
a number as busy to save herself trouble.
But anybody who uses the telephone very
much is perfectly we'll aware that the cir
cult is not reported as being in use unless it
really is in use. 1t is ''good business for
the telephone company to establish CONVEX
sation whenever it is in any way possible to
do so; and nobody questions but that the
telephone company is getting all the bust
ness it can.
When you call up "Centra" she connects
herself with your line by means of "cord"
on the end of which is brass plug that fits
closely into the lack" or switch socket in
which your line terminates in the switch
board. The connecting cords are arranged
in pairs, and when you give the operator
the number of the telephone with which
you want to talk, she takes the second cord
OF the pair she is using for your call and
touches the tip of the brass plug at the end
of it to the lack" of the line you require
If the circuit is already connected up in
some other part of the board, the operator
hears a clicking noise in her head telephone !;
then, of course, she reports to you that "the
line is busy" If there is no warning click
when she touches the ''jack" she pushes the
connecting plug in and rings.
The telephone is frequently used in a
great hurry, and sometimes person whose
mind for the moment is distracted negIects
to ring off when he is through talking. The
result is that "Central" does not get sig
nal to disconnect the call, and it may be a
minute or more before she finds out that
the circuit is no longer engaged-which,
failing to get any signal, she can do only by
connecting herself with the line so she can
hear whether or not anybody is talking.
Meanwhile, if anybody else calls either Of
the lines that were used in the conversation
they will, naturally, be told that it is busy
Such a state of affairs is undoubtedly the
cause OF quite percentage of the "busy
reports" in some exchanges.
A commoner cause of "busy reports
than most people realize is the large num-
| Der of subscribers who take party-1ine ser
vice, especially at their residences The
particular person you want to reach may
not be using his telephone when you call
| for it, but if there are other subscribers on
| the same circuit the line may be busy just
the same. And your friend may not know
that it is. That is why sometimes when
Central" tells you ''the line is busy" your
| friend will say afterwards that he doesn't
understand how that could be, because he
wasn't using the telephone at all at the time
you tried to call him.
