LUNCH AT ALL HOURS,

The story of how this is done is an
interesting one. but will be told as
briefly as possible.
We will consider, for the sake of
example, the case Of girl living in
town one hundred miles from De-
refined girl. of good parentage, but
with a dash OF that fine American
independence which leads her to want
~ help support herself. She feels
that she has the power of doing good
work when the kind of work given APP
peals to her sense of refinement; she
is clever; she has common sense and
she can he depended upon. These
qualities have come TO her naturally
and she says TO herself that she has
the right to make proper use OF them.
To some OF these young women the
idea Of work at telephone switch
board must undoubtedly have come
some time or other They know little
or nothing about it, perhaps, but they
do know that the work is dignified.
They realize that the telephone girl,
as she makes desired connections, one
after the other, with def fingers and
alert brain, is an all-important unit
In the throbbing business life OF to-
day
The girl of whom we write thinks OF
this among other things. and perhaps
she laments the fact that she lives so
fractions. Yet she is the very girl
that the telephone company is willing
to take, teach and protect as she does

Curious Incident.

Harry Bennets, miner from Cam
borne. Cornwall, England. has been
awarded the King Edward medal for
bravery at the Randfontein mine, Jo-
hannesburg, South Africa. December
81 last He descended the mine after
an explosion and rescued nine natives
rom suffocation, and was himself
eventually taken up unconscious. His
mother at Comborne affirms that she
was awakened from her sleep on the
same night by a loud report, and her
rest was greatly disturbed. She was
sure something had happened to her
son in South Africa.

PAID WHILE. LEARNING

scriber abuses" her, she is not com
PEELED to listen to any TRADES. She
could not make the other connections
wanted by the public IL she did. But
whether she's busy or not, the com
pany protects the telephone girl from
the abusive subscriber by directing
her to switch" him to the Chief OPP
orators desk where he tor she) can
be handled at more leisure by en-
pioyes who will smooth out the diff
culties OF which the subscriber may
complain.
/ The telephone girl does not have to-
handle any soiled or dangerous equip
ment, or to get in the way OF any ma
chinery. She takes hold only of cords,
keys and plugs, which are necessarily
kept free from dust. or they would
deteriorate. And the same equipment
which protects the subscriber and the
switchboard tender from lightning
protects also the telephone girl
The young woman of whom we are
writing will find that while, In the
telephone business as In other kinds,
there is no royal road TO learning. yet
she has nevertheless but few difficul-
ties to encounter. and that the COM
pany has made her way as smooth
as possible. This is not philanthropy
on the part OF the Michigan State
Telephone Company. II makes no such
claim. or course there's the natural
respect which the men at the head
OF the organization feel for the girl
who earns her living-all decent men
possess that feeling-but this making
of things 10 be as attractive as pos
sible for the girls is one dictated by
business motives. The better the
girl, and the better she may be made
by the company itself, the better she
will do its work. The prosperity and
success OF a telephone company de-
pend upon the class of service which
II furnishes, and this depends upon its
standard of employee.
And the first-class operator need not
always remain an operator. There
are innumerable opportunities for ad-
vancement not only with the tele-
phone company, but also with hotels
and great corporations which have
private branch exchanges.
The girl who lives at distance
from Detroit may reflect upon these
things. She may address letter TO
the Operators School. Michigan State
Telephone Co, Detroit, and the reply
sent will give her abundant informa-
ton on what TO do II she wishes TO
apply for a position. 1t will be worth
while.
