SHORT GIRL? YOU
CAN'T SAY HELLO
Big Telephone Companies Make
Rule That Operators Shall
Be Five Feet Tall
Central of 1910 Must Also Be
a Natural Born Reacher to
Hold Her Job

WASHINGTON, Fec. 27.-Are you
less than ) feet high? All right; you
can't be telephone girl.
Such is the rule of the big telephone.
companies. according to a report COM
piled for the senate by the labor
bureau and made public today.
The girls must be high enough to
reach TO the top of the switchboards
and a reasonable distance sideways.
This being the case. It is easy to see
now much chance the short girl has
of learning the hello" game.
AGENTS STUDY CONDITIONS
The bulk of the report deals with
the women employes-there are 1920
of them working at the switchboards
for 27 companies in 20 states which
furnished the data. Agents of the.
bureau visited seventy three ex-
changes and found them, generally
speaking, well housed In many cases
the girls were compelled to walk up
from one to four flights of stairs and
more than two-thirds of complaints
heard were because of the lack of
elevators.
Wages for telephone girls, according
TO the report, vary from a highest
monthly average of s36.96 in New York
city to S2240 in Nashville, Tenn. In
some of the smaller cities the average
goes even lower. particularly in the
south. The Bell company employs
1926 women operators at an average
monthly pay of S30.91.
NOVEL RESULTS DEDUCED
Efficient service is possible UP to
225. calls an hour for each girl. She
can not answer more than that with
out injury to herself or injuring the
service. The bureau has reached the
conclusion that the operator who has
not enough to do to keep her con-
stantly busy, however. does not
properly attend to what she has.
Commissioner Neill strongly urges
the practical elimination OF overtime
for operators and says this can be
brought about il the larger cities will
set the example. New York has done
So but in Chicago the Bell operators
have about 2S per cent Of overtime,
and in New Orleans as high as 9s per
cent.
A widespread and intelligent effort
on the part of the companies TO look
after the comfort and wellbeing of its
women employees was found On the
other hand the investigators discov-
cred that the women were loyal to the
companies and enthusiastic over their
work. all of which is declared to add
much TO the efficiency of service to the
public.

Opposition to Administration
Measures May Cause Ex-

PinchOt to Continue Testimony
Against BaIlinger, Raising
Question of Veracity

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.--Although
congress has been in session nearly
three months, none of the party lead
ers has come forward with prediction
OF the time of final adjournment The
uncertainty is due chiefly to the oppo-
sition against some OF the administra-
tfon .mca sures, and the fact that debate
is likely to coptinue for many weeks
in connection with nearly all the presi-
dents hills
Regardless of the fact that the dis
cussion probably will be extended over
a long period on most of the bills on
which the president has his heart set.
it is believed that ultimately they will
be enacted. This is true as TO the inter-
state commerce bill, two of the con-

n ALMOST FORGOTTEN HERO

When a southern repres ontative IN
congress expressed doubt that Stone
wall" Jackson had ever been defeated
and the name of the victorious general
was given as Shields, the answer did
not mean anything to the questfoner,
who had never heard OF the hero OF
two wars and who also represented
three different states in the senate.
Although Shields stands in statuary
hall as the honored son of Illinois, his
presentment might as fittingly be
there to represent Minnesota or Mis-
souri, for at different times he was
senator from each of these states.
And Oregon, too. can lay some claim
to him, for he was governor OF the
territory for time
After years of thrilling adventures.
enough to satisfy any man for life
time, the young Irish immigrant took
part in the chief battles of the Next
can war and was desperately wounded
more than once. He settled in illinois
and served in the legislature with
Douglas and Lincoln. He was sent to
the senate for term. Removing to
Minnesota, he was elected first to the
legislature and then again to the Unit
ed States senate.
When the civil war broke out he
went to the front and distinguished
himself for bravery and military skill.
In 1862, at Kernstown. he lay wounded
in a litter and directed the battle in
which he defeated Jackson. Had it
not been for Stanton he would have
been made major general.
Missouri was his next adopted state.
He went to the senate by way OF the
legislature, as in the previous In
stances.
The southern representative is not
entirely to blame for his ignorance OF
Shields, Seventeen years ago, when
his statue was placed in the hall. few
Illinoisans save the older generation,
had been told Of his career. The his
tories have done Indifferent justice to
him, and pupils in our schools have no
means of learning of the distinguished
men Of the state save perhaps two or
three. There is crying need for the
public schools to instruct in such mat
tiers
