Thirteen Telephone Girls
in New York Are Perfect

New York. April 25.-That New York
has 13 perfect telephone girls was
shown recently b. the returns from an
efficiency test conducted here. These
girls passed with 100 percent to their
credit. The art Of beinE . successful
telephone operator as shown by this
trial is far more difficult than most
persons imagine and Il is one that
women master more readily than men.
Years ago men and boys were employed
by the telephone companies, but it was
found that girls were so much more ef-
ficient and generally more satisfactory
that they soon supplanted h male I'm

a Good Sized Town.

Enough the figures in themselves are
Impressive, few people who are unfa-
mlIlar with the magnitude Of the in
dustry can appreciate what an annual
production Of $4,000 automobiles ae-
tually means. The total makes a fine
mouth-nning set Of figures to handle,
but 1t is not until a comparison is
made with something with which they
are familiar that the average Iayman
re2iizes the vast volume OF effort such
a business entails. In this respect the
monthly a movement report made by
the traffic department OF the WHY'S
Overland company, OF Toledo, is an en-
tightening document
Taking the figures for March, in
Whlcn mere were 20 working days the
report shows that a total of 235S rail-
road cars, incoming and outgoing, were
handled at the plant. This is an aver

capacity Of at least three complete
automobiles n some are loaded with
as many as six, the figures show an
output Of well over 5000 Overlands in

Railroad officials declare that a city

coming freight for March shows a to-
tai Of more han 80 percent greater
business. If this freight could be
hauled in a single train. IT would
Strtech uearly seven and One-half
miles across country. and l. OF the
largest freight engines made would be
required to handle the cars. The COM
bined incoming and outgoing business
would make a train more than p miles
and a capacity load for So Of the big
gest "mOsul" locomotives.
The description Of the loads carried
by the incoming cars also furnishes
an interesting view Of the motor car
industry. Among the articles listed
on the repor are coal fuel oil. cylinder

hair, wheels. springs. electric starting
motors, batteries, magnetos. paint, white
cotton, bow sockets. rims and rings.

when one stops to consider that these
