LEFT EARED GIRLS
IN TELEPHONE OFFICE

"Left-eared"?' said the physician
Most of you girls are" quotes the Phil.
adelphia Record.
"Left-eared?" said the young woman
from the telephone exchangc.
yes, lefteared, the same as left
handed-that is to say, is your left ear
better at its work than your right
one?"
She did not know, so he tested her,
finding, sure enough, that her left ear
was a little the acuter of the two.
1T is a natural thing" he said.
You girls use the left ear exclusively
all day long in your telephone work
and the right ear has nothing to do,
hence the left, like a muscle develops
the right atrophies.
Indeed" he ended, eff the telephone
comes into much greater use we shall
have not merely left-eared exchange

ed in the arms of Fred Hamilton, a
Monarch miner, a day or two ago, and
the man lives to tell the tale. Hamil.
ton was carrying the powder into the
mine and a spark from his cap light
caused it to explode. BY a seeming
miracle he was not instantly killed,
but escaped with severely burned
hands and face. His clothing was
burned from bis body and the noise
of the explosion so alarmed the miners
that work in the mine was stopped
while an investigation was made. Ham.
ilton was found lying on the floor with
the nearby timbers smouldering. He
was conscious, suffering from his burma
and almost scared to death.

Report from the Consul General.

Washington, d. c., Nov. 13.-Aus-
tralia always appears to Americans to
be a topsy-turvy country because peo-
pie u there are walking upside down;
but a report from Consul General Bray
indicates that the people of that Anglo
Saxon commonwealth are acquiring
some sense. They have awakened to
the fact that in a land of vast dis
tances they need long distance tele-
phone service.
TelephonicalIy Connected.
Mr.. Bray announces that the two
leading cities, Melbourne and Sydney.
600 miles apart, are now teIephouic-
ally connected. That the Australians
should have waited so long for the
construction of a single circuit be-
tween W great centers of population
makes it seem that they have been
~s1ngularly unprogressive.
Many Cities Connected.
The chief cities of the eastern part
of the United States have, of course.
been connected by the long distance
telephone for now a matter of two
decades. Out in Australia thev have
had government ownership to retard
the growth of the utility, but clearly
public demand for the most i~ndispens-
able of electrical services can force
even governmental bureaus into a
show of activity.
Much American Apparatus.
Besides, Engineer John Hesketh has
been in this country and. with admira-
ton and establishment. studied the tel.
ephone habits of the American people.
Ills visit was responsible for the in
PRODUCTION of a lot of Bell telephone
apparatus and of American methods in
operation into the system of Australian
cities.

1t also gave a new idea of the pos
sibilities of the long distance. Con-
s~equently, Australian people can now
talk 600 miles over a well-constructed
circuit. Uncle Sans congratulations
