Our Personalities Play important PART
In TeLenhone Girls Mistakes

One OF the big telephone companies Is
conducting thorough series of scientl-
fc tests to find out why the "hello girls
sometimes give us the wrong number,
Why they cut us off in the middle of a
most important sentence, why they
sometimes answer sharply when We make
a modest protest. and, in short. to find
out what every telephone user would
like to know
The tests are being conducted prinei-
pally at Cambridge, Mass. Observations
are being made upon 5000 telephone
girls in many parts of the country. Prof.
Hugo Huensterberg, the well-known pro-
fessor of psychology at Harvard UniYer-
sity, has been called in to assist In maxi
ing the tests, but he is only one of the
many experts engaged in the work.
One OF the psychological experiments
tried by Prof Muensterberg was as fol-
lows: He gathered all the rev girls iii
the Cambridge central together and gave
each of them copy of the same news
paper, with the same three columns
marked in each Every girl was re-
quired to go over the columns in order
and cross out ali the letter AS
Some of the girls crossed out 90 per
cent. OF the lSlleiS III TIE III 81 COlutilll
rs per cent in the second column and so
per cent in the third. That showed a
defective power of attention and con-
centration Other girls got only 20 per
cent right in the first column but inn
proved as they went on, reaching in
some cases 80 per cent. correct in the last
column. This indicated an aptitude for
application.
Hypnotizing by Phone.
Prof Muensterberg performed several
other psychological experiments. At the
end of six months the results obtained
by him will be compared with the ordi-
nary reports of the telephone managers
concerning the new girls on probation.
If the psychological tests and the ordi-
nary reports agree substantially in taeir
conclusions it will appear that the pro-
fessor has found a simple way of select
ing efficient hello girls.
Prof. Muensterberg is great believer
In the psychological value and uses of
the telephone.
II have even hypnotized over the tele-
phone" he says.
1t appears that when a person has re-
sisted hypnotsTn applied by the operator
directly il may be possible to hypontize
him by a suggestion conveyed over the

THE first gun in this falls campaign
was fired yesterday in Maine, and the
echoes heard in Washington caused the
White House to shiver and shake worse
than it did when hit by lightning some
time ago. John A. Peters, Republican,
was elected member of Congress from
the Third Maine District. The Phila-
delphia Record, staunch Wilson and
Free Trade advocate, had large photo
graph of the Democratic candidate ready
for the front page, but the result came
with such force that the Record did not
have time to change the picture and had
to content itself by saying ''the G. o. p.
wins by reduced plurality in stronghold
of Republicans. The paper goes on to
state, however, that the Progressive vote
showed a falling off of 80 per cent from
last fall and the Peters vote was 108 per
cent. greater than in November. In the
Presidential election Woodrow Wilson
