(By Sophie Irene Loeb.)

Seven nurses resigned from a hospital
because, according to the superinten-
dent, they could not be cured of the dis
ease "Telephonitis." The superintend-
ent went on to say:
They certainly worked the tele-
phone to death. spoke to them quiet
ly, but they acted like silly, peevish
girls and resigned. The trouble is
simply this: The girls are young, gid
dy and frivolous, although / never
refuse them legitimate calls"
Now the question arises as to what
constitutes legitimate call Certain
ly when the unsuspecting inventor
brought into existence the telephone
he did realize how much he would be
responsible for at least, that seven
strong girls would need to seek jobs
anew as a result Of use or misuse 81
his far-reaching invention.
He was perhaps thinking of the hur-
ried convenience Of the contrivance
but did not reckon with cupid coming
on the scene and connecting tele-
phone wires with human heart strings
And there is the beginning and end
Of all the trouble.
Now there have been rules and reg
ulations as to what one should or
should not say over the telephone. The
companies themselves, through long
experience have evolved comments
and cade for the economy of time and
temper. They have been compelled 10
systematic a system.
In the beginning there was no limit
as to the duration of the talk, but to-
day you can only talk so much for so
much money. For if it were not 50
some Of us, like the brook, would go on
forever. They have even gone so far
as to have line of etiquette which is
deemed necessary to preserve the
peace Of the public at large, and which
seems reasonable.
For people are sometimes prone 20
say things over the wire that they
would not say when brought face %
face. Thus, be it known, a telephone
Is an instrument by which one may
break an engagement with ease. And
cynic may unkindly say that a party
line is a device by which women never
get lonesome. Yet if the telephone

THE JOY GERMS
OF TELEPHONITIS

crobe of telephonitis would have moth
ing to do
In this case, however, the cure
would be worse than the disease. Of
course, we are living in a free coun-
try, where freedom of speech holds
sway But whether We are free to
prolong that speech until it has gone
over the mark of being Legitimate
-ah, that, as Kipling says, lis an
other story"
At least, there is one reasonable
rule proved; that while the nurse, or
the office girl, or the shop girl just

the phone, and it may bring the smile
of joy as she proceeds with her work
while there may be times when she
may not infringe on anybody's rights
in such a case-yet if she becomes
inoculated with telephonitis to the
exclusion of all else, then she must
be nursed away from it and cured.
For it is a germ that once it enters

finds herself thinking. q wonder

ly an hour when the receiver is not
in the hand, and she argues that a
receiver in hand is worth two on the
hook.

of tell-tale twaddle for which many a

one being killed the first year of the

LONG FIGHT ENDED
Methodist WOmcn admitted to
EcUmeRicaL Conference.

For the first time in history women have
been elected delegates to an Ecumenical
Conference Of the Methodist Church. This
conference meets only once I'm ten years.
and the five hundred delegates are chosen
from the highest officials OF the Church
and its affiliated organizations. Bishops,
presidents Of denomnational colleges and
universities, editors of the church papers,
presidents Of missionary societies. and es
pecially distinguished clergymen and lay
men, meet TO discuss questions of interna-
tional Importance to the Church i'm general.
Long and fierce has been the fight made
by Methodist women for admission to the
various conferences OF their Church. Bit
ter has been the opposition from grave dig
nitaries Of the pulpit and religious press
but the women seem to he winning. The
first step was their election delegates
to the general conference OF the Methodist
Episcopal Church held I'm Los Angeles in
l90L The British Wesleyan Church admit
ted women to their general conference for
the first time this year. In the Methodist
Episcopal Church. South. women are still
denied admission. although Miss Belle Ben
nett, of Richmond, ky., president of the
Woman's Home Missionary Society OF the
leader OF the fight for admission I'm that
branch Of the Church, goes as delegate to
the Ecumenical Conference.
The conference meets in Toronto Canada,
from October 4 to October II. The fact that
on Friday, the 18th, the second section OF
the day is set apart for discussion of the
tonic 'Womans Claims and Responsible
ties" IS regarded by the women as one
more proof of the fallacy Of the tradition
associating ill luck with this day and
number.
