FEW PLAINTSON
PHONE SERVICE FILED
Report on investigation Shows
Rates Bring the Most OBJ
leCtions.

Inquiries concerning the adequacy of
the telephone service in Washington
ELECTED few complaints of service hut
many OF rates. according to the report
OF q. B. Hartley, of the Public Utilities
Commission, made public today. Mr..
Hartley's investigation was conducted
prior to the recent reduction in rates
made by the Chesapeake and Potomac
Telephone Company.
majority of the complaints, the re-
port states, related to the slowness of
the information" service.
E1fty-three observations were made
or the time required for information to
answer, and the average was twenty
seconds" says the report. "Of course,
owing to the large number of strangers
IN the city during G. A. r. week this
branch of the service was unusually
busy, but still the average was at least
tVe seconds more than IL should have
been. 1t is suggested that another
test be made Of this service under nor
mai conditions, and a comparison made.
Carelessness of Operation.
1T is frequently desirable to make a
number Of calls in immediate success
sion. Fourty-four observations were
made of the elapsed time between the
closing Of one call and the response of
the operptor for the next call. and the
average time was 40 seconds"
A number of complaints, the report
states, were in regard to the careless
ness of operators in ringing up sub
scFibers, asking for a number and when
told that no one had called apologizing
The commission approved the recon-
mendation of Mr.. Hartley that the tele-
phone company be required to furnish
monthly summarized traffic and plant
reports. These reports show the results
of observations made by the company
pr its service, and will enable the com
mission to make comparisons from
month to month.
Reports Not Required.
On recommendation of Capt. Julian L.
Schley. executive officer of the COM
mission. a suggestion of Mr.. Hartley
that reports be REQUIRED of the tele-
phone company on the number of
written complaints received by it, was
not approved.
II do not think" said Captain Schley
that they are a sufficiently accurate
indication of the quality of service
furnished to be kept in the files Of the
commission. They are always available
for inspection by representatives of the
commission"
Mr.. Hartley suggested also that opera
tors be required to connect subscribers
with public buildings when only the
name and not the number is given.
The commission. however decided not
to order a change in the present prac-
tice, on the ground that resulting COM
plications from an operating standpoint,
might decrease the quality of the serv-
ice.

WHEN A KISS Is CRUELTY
About the last thing that could be
classed in the cruelty line, we opined,
was kiss, but New York Judge has
found case where kiss IS cruelty.
No, it was not cruelty to the fair
hssee, nor was it so to the kisser.
But, said the honorable judge, it
was cruelty to the wife of the hsser,
who had to stand by and watch her
husband imprint a smack upon an
other woman's lips.
That Judge is right, all right, all
right!
Probably there are few wives who
could imagine more cruel cruelty
than being the unhappy bystander
while her rival is getting what the
law says shall belong to her until
death or the divorce judge do us
part, ?
While we're thinking about this
subject of cruelty to wives let's ask
ourselves few questions:
ISM tit cruelty to wife for her hus-
band to overflow with chiHalry to his
neighbours wife and be the stone-age
brute with his own?
To pass eight-hour working laws
for all other women and expect his
own wife to work from the ring of
the alarm clock to mending the last
SOCK at night?
TO be too sleepy and tired" to take
the wife to the movies, but in per-
feet condition to play cards or pool
