rious, and at the same time would like
to see some arrangement made where
by they would not have to be con.
tipually knocking down wildcat anti.
liquor bills Of all sorts.

PATIENCE AT THE
TELEPHONE, PLEASE

There are men who lie, steal and
kill, and then there are men who
when the operator says, Lime busy
forget that they are gentlemen.
Sometimes they put their hand over
the receiver and proceed to forget
that the stenographer Is also lady.
In other words, being checked by an
intangible speaking apparatus the
brute nature rides to the surface and
would fain be expressed.
1t has been brought to attention
that a large number of calls are
promptly successful, and that con-
sidering the number of persons using
telephones a few busy lines are to be
expected. This customary celebrity of
service is what spoils telephone
users. Not being able to hurry the
thing any more when in a rush than
when one has all day, and just hav-
ing to stand still and listen to the
reason why one is denied his request
to talk to Mr.. z or Madame x, these
are the provocations to forgetfulness,
which at best is contemplate.
The operators usually do their
best. They work at constant
strain connecting the lines quickly.
Flashing bulbs are forever jerking
their attention back and forth. Re-
spect the operator. Don't suspect
her Of neglect.
