HELLO GIRLS AS MEN FINDERS
State-Wide Search by Russe!lvllIe Operator Locates Party in
 Fort Smith.

Fort Smith.-An interesting feature of the work of long distance telephone operators is the locating of people by telephone whose whereabouts are un- known. This work is done to give the public service wherever possible, even though considerable expense is incurred by the telephone company in doing so.
 An instance of tenacity and mental alertness was given by an operator Tn Russellville who followed man all over the state of Arkansas by tele- phone and finally found him at Fort Smith after running down every clue
 The call was made by Russell ville subscriber who wanted to talk with a man at Greenwood, Ark. The party had left Greenwood and 1t was reported that he had gone to Little Rock. leaving no address. The Chief Operator at Little Rock was consulted and finally discovered that the man had registered at the Merchants Ho tel but had checked out again. The hotel people thought he might have gone to Hartford or Mansfield and so he willing telephone girl called up Hartford and Mansfield. At S:3o that night he had not registered at Hart ford, and 1t was thought that he had gone to Greenw~sd. The operator tried Hartford. Mansfield, Greenwood and Fort Smith, and finally located the mnch-wanted party in hotel at Fort Smith.
 Gertrude Reynolds, Chief Operator at Russellville. Ark. was the girl who refused to give up the call until she had succeeded in completing 1t.

 The important point to remember s that the fewer products marketed the less will be the loss and the great

 taEen this Simmer. The descriptions are to include facts about exnensas and so on. The idea is that. with con ditions in Europe as they are, travel
 in America will be greatly stimulated
 The author says that, generally speak Ing, two persons can travel proportion ately cheaper than one. Explainino this point he goes on:
 For instance, in European plan ho- tels, room occupied by two costs as rule little, if any, more than wher only occupied by one person; in Ameri- can plan hotels two will in most cases be charged S7 a day, where the rate for one person occupying a room alone would be $4. On the sleeping cars a lower berth will hold two people fairly comfortably, and this cuts the cost of that important item in half. Quar- ters (which have to be distributed so frequently as tips) will reward the porter for two people as satisfactori ly as for one. On dining cars, mostly la carte nowadays, the portions are ample for two; the same may be said in general. of restaurants, except where meals are served at fixed price per person. A carriage ride in a city costs just as much for one as for two. There are innumerable other items where travellers may double up to ad- vantage, so 1 think it is not an un- derestimate to figure that two persons travelling together, on such tour as this. can probably cut individual costs from $25 to $b0 below what the total would amount to for one person pro ceeding alone"
