Sometimes subscribers fail TO
answer their telephones promptly
and when they do answer it are
told by the operator that she did
not ring. This may be literally
true if the calling party has grown
impatient and hung up his re-
ceiver. Only one operator can
answer you when you ask for a
number but any operator at the
switch board can ring your tele-
phone bell If an operator has
a rush of calls those on each side
of her come to her assistance and
a supervisor is always at hand to
help her out.
The work of the operators is
interesting and fascinating and Is
we'll worth visit TO our exchange.
We hope every subscriber will
accept our often repeated invita-
ton and visit one of our exchanges

T1HE switchboard, which is
4 the most intricate and in
49, teresting adjunct of the
telephone business, is divided into
sections and there are usually
three operators positions in each
section. An operator sits at each
position and from this point can
reach the line of every subscriber
in the exchange. However, only
a limited number of subscribers
answering jacks terminate in front
of each operator This causes it
to be possible for an operator TO
connect a calling party with any
number on the switchboard, but
she can answer the calls of only
a few subscribers. Whenever a
new section is added TO the switch
board IL IS necessary to run the
wires and connect the line of every
subscriber into the new section.

MISS OLIVER HAD 4
SPLENDID AUDIENCE

Miss Katharine Oliver had splen-
did audience at her first entertainment
at the Kilohana Art League hall yes
terday evening. Many men and women
prominent in the community and in
society were present and are enthusi-
astic in their praise of the artist. Miss
Oliver presented the greater part Of
the dramatized version of fThe Little
Minister. That a play could thus be
presented by one individual was a
surprise to those who heard and en-
ioyed its accomplishment. 1t is in the
very doing of just that thing that
Miss Oliver ranks as such successful
entertainer.
