An Efficient Time Saver and a Means
of Protection.

Many persons who use the telephone
have all IN Of mistaken ideas
about central and her work. They
often say, for instance, that they know
better when central tells them the line

fact. however. much the easiest thing
for the operator to do Is to give you
the person called for if she can pos
sibly get him. BY the time she has
found out that a line is busy, or that
a subscriber does not nswer, centraFs
work is three-Quarters done, and it is
simpler to finish the connection when

your line and report to you. remarks a
writer in American CultiyatOr. When
central tells YOU a person does not
answer. it is only after she has made
several unsuccessful attempts to get
him. Sometimes people forget to ring
