EYE STRAIN FORCES
PHONE GIRLS TO QUIT

There are i'm the United States about
125,000 telephone girls. whose average
term of service is three years or less.
The working hours are about eight
per diem. the average number of calls
IL about 40 per hour running lat the
peak" To 22j or more. The operator
sits facing a switchboard which is
covered with numbers, each number
having small signal light that Hash
cs on and off as the call is completed
When the person calling raises his
receiver light flashes on the switch
board at central" and this light con-
tinucS To burn until the operator
plugs the number ana receives the
call. Shethen plugs the number call
ed for and this light burns until the
called person raises his receiver from
the hook. When the receivers are fin
ally placed on their hooks both lights
flash and burn until the operator re-
moves the connecting plugs. To COM
plete one call means four flashes of
light. AS the average number Of calls
is lao per hour, with 225 or more
during the rush hours, the operators
eyes are exposed to from 500 to 1000
flashes of light every hour, resulting
in fatigue to the eyes, To say nothing
of the mental and physical strain un-
der which the operator constantly
works.
The Bell system in 1911 spent
S72C,953 for rcstrooms and lunchrooms
for the operators, and it has secured
sufficient air space and good illumiua-
tion. yet, although only young and
healthy girls are selected, the average
length of service does not exceed three
years.
The symptoms of cyo-strain which
the girls develop are headache. dull
ness. indigestion, exhaustion, nerve
strain, insomnia, colds and SO forth.
The two or three short years of tele-
phone work possible to the girls, as
well as ninc-tcnths Of all their SUI
fering, IN probably due to the constant
near range eye work, without proper
protection for the eyes.-American
Medican Association.

Albertville, September 27.-(Special)
with three weeks of practice and with
candidates practically all new men, Coach
H. H. Rabb is gradually rounding the

cultural school into shape. Hard scrim-
images are being indulged in daily Coach
Rabb has been greatly handicapped this
year, having only three old men back
with which to build up a machine and
indeed the outlook at the present is. far
from rosy.
The line this year is the lightest one in
years, however the back field Is being
taken care of by good men. John ,Thoma-
son and S. Goodwin are playing the two
halfs and John Goodwin is being played
at full ',Bili' Thompson, last years
scrub, is playing quarter and is a heady
little player. With the exception of
Grover Campbell, one of the guards. the
line is composed of all new men.
The local lovers Of the gridirop and ad-
mirers of the local team, however, have
great confidence in Coach Rabb and be-
Iieve with an even break of luck, he will
be able to turn out good team.
The first game scheduled is with How
ard college during the Marshall county

ing to arrange practice gDne with some

HOLY CROSS FAILS ]
TO SCORE ON YALE.

: New Haven, September 27.-Yale de-
feated the Holy Cross II this afternoon,
10 to 0. The Blue team scored in the
first period on a field goal from the 20
yard line by Guernsey, captain of the
freshman eleven last year. In the second
period Holy Cross attempted a drop kick
from the 30-yard line. but it was blocked.
Early in the final period Holy Cross
was driven back steadily until the ball
was in Yales possession on the visitors
71s-yard line. Then the latter held and
Yale lost the ball on downs. A few min
utes afterward Yale scored touchdown,
the tally being made possible by bad
punt against the wind by Donovan OF
Holy Cross. which sent outside his own
25-yard line. A 5-yard gain around the
end by Knowles and forward passes by
Ainsworth and Guernsey carried the ball
close to the. Holy Cross line, when quick
quarterback play through center brought
the score. Ketcham kicked the goal.

If any of the battles in the coming
worlds series between the Athletics and
Giants should go more than the regula
tion number of innings. it is hard to de-
eide which team will have the better of
the argument. During the present CAM
paign both have been very lucky in land
ing on the long end of the games that
went more than nine rounds.
Johnny McGraws men have been
forced to go 10 or more sessions far more
than have Mack's men. The American
league champions have been forced to
play extra innings only seven times this
campaign, either winning or losing their
other battles in the regulation innings.
On the other hand. the Giants have par
ticipated in Is games that went 10 or
more rounds. OF this total II were won.
while four went to the opposition, per-
centage of .733. The other three ended
without a decision. OF the seven the
Mackers have played, six were won and
only one lost, percentage of .857.
Figuring percentages the Mackers have
the edge here on the National leaguers,
but then, should any of the games go
over an extra lHfliIS ioutes II 10 aAo ~
tell which one will be the winner.
From the results of the games played
during the regular league season 1t is
shown clearly that both have the punch
to go over winners In the long distance
battles, SO IL any of the worlds series
clashes should go for more than nine in
nings 1t will just about be toss-up as
to which club will be returned on the long
end of the count.
Hugh Jennir gs' Tigers hold the dis
tinction of winning the only extra inning
battle from the Athletics Jennings men

from the new American league champions
