TeIephOne ,.Peg Count

Telephone operating, although the
does not begin and err with the es-
adjustment and taking down of con-
nections between two telephones. This
is but one phase of the traffic, and
side of at least equal interest is the
closeness with which operating Of
ticials follow the traffic in order To be
certain that each operator is handling
the amount of business she can proper
ly care for.
Once each month, three days are set
aside and a peg count is taken. This
consists of an absolute count of every
local call handled in the Exchange
during the seventy-two hours under
inspection. To obtain this, a counter,
similar to the old bicycle cyclometer,
is placed beside each operators posi-
ton on the switchboard. Every call
that an operator handles is punched
up on this eyclometer.
Once an hour the count is taken for
each cyelometer by clerk and put on
record. This process is repeated until
the figures have been obtained for the
three days From these figures the
average business handled at each OPP
orators position, or the amount each
operator is caring for, is figured.
1t is known, from thousands OF tests,
that the average operator can satisiac-
torily handle a certain number Of calls
per hour. II the "peg count ngures
show she is handling more Or less than
this figure Ii means that a change
must be made in order that the service
may not suffer. After carefully study
ing the report, the chief operator
moves lines from in front of the opera-
tor with too heavy d,:and brings
them into the switchboard in front of
an operator who has not been answer
ing as many calls as may be fairly ex.
pected of her.
The intent and effect of this watch
fulness is to build up of the general eff
ficieney OF the entire force, and to
make for greater sccuracyl.and speed
in the handling OF calls. This is but
one illustration of the efforts being
made by the Southern New England
Telephone Company TO give the oesi
possible telephone service.

Paint Put--On

Think of paint put-on and not by the
gallon.
A gallon of paint in the can is OF ne
account TO anybody. Put IL on. Now
reckon its cost aud value.
The secret Is : one paint goes twice
rs far as another. A good one goes
twice as far as a bad one.
You have job, say an average job.
TN take 10 gallons Deyoe and l. or 10
or is or ~ of middling poor veFy-poor
and trash. You know painters wages
in your town. Put the price of a gallon
of paint and painters dsy-wage to-
gether. You can, we cant.
Devoe costs less than any inferior
paint; there are hundreds of them.
One paint is as good as another, so
long as il lasts good; one lasts months
and another years; and the one that
goes furthest lasts longest.
