Necessity For Rules and Regulations In Operating Telephone
 AVxtams

In the conduct of the affairs of an institution of the magnitude of II F. SOL fTHW ESTERN TELEGRAPH AND TELEPHONE COMPANY. operating over such vast territory as k comprised within the states of Arkansas and Texas, and employing hundreds and hundreds of per sons of varying degrees of intelli- gence It must be obviOts how essential 1t is that ceatain rules aud regulations governing the details of the business shall be laid down for the guidance of these employees and to insure. as far as possible, efficient and satisfactory service to the patrons of the company.
 It k required of the employees that these rules shall be enforced. not harshly or extensively although it must be apparent that deviation from them cannot be permitted, since they nave only been adopted after being most carefully considered and having in view the best interests of all con- cerned.
 It must not be assumed that rules are made for the purpose of exasper- ating CT harassing the public. as many appear to think. on the contrary they e~i V N'N is7SA d9 IiItAii lOI liit ItIitilJ Oi the public as for the protection of the company and unless the employees inn partially carry them out a link in the chain of the system is broken with the result that the public suffer as well as the company
 The company does not ,desire to inn pose unnecessary restrictions on its patrons or to enforce rules likely to enforce hardships or provoke criti- clsm, but it must occur to the thoughtful that a code of rules impar- italy applied is an important essen tial in the management of business as large and intricate in mechanical. electrical and accounting details as the telephone business and it is therefore hoped that the public will prove vii. ling to exercise a certain degree of toleration when disposed t0 hastily indulge in criticism of the manage ment of the Southwestern Company on account of the regulations il has seen it to adopt.

INDIAN GIRL LONGS
FOR THE WILD

San Francisco, Aug. 26-Living for
two days after the manner of her
forefathers in the wild recesses Of
Golden Gate park, and snaring ducks
for food, Bertha Rocha, a 16-year-old
Yaqui Indian girl was discovered on
Strawberry Hill and is now in the
juvenile detention home.
For the past six years the child
has lived as a domestic with Mrs.
Margarita Saalona, a wealthy MeXi-
can woman. Bertha declres that she
has always been we'll treated
The child constructed a rude shell
ter on Strawberry Hill, in the widest
portion of the park. There she lived
content. At night she cuddled close
to a camp fire and there slept as her
aboriginal ancestors had done before
her.
Last night her dream of freedom
was shattered when the eyes of
Mounted Policeman Murphy caught
the CLINT of her campfire through the
trees.
She told the police that she was
tired of civilization and she wanted
to follow a life untrammeled by re-
straint.
