On All
Incoming Calls

ANSWER vorw telephone promptly
and pleasantly.
ANNOUNCE your name and the
name Of your department. Don t
say "Hello'.
BE READY with pad and pencil in
order not to keep your caller waiting.
If YOU require help in handling the
call properly, get it at once or politely
transfer the call to the employe who
can best handle it.
IF YOU answer for another en-
ploye, offer to take the message,
then call it to the others attention
at the first opportunity.
LISTEN attentivcly. 50 that YOU will
not have to annoy the caller by ask
ing him to repeat.
REMEMBER, abruptncss or ndif-
ference drives away trade. Close at
tcntion to telephone orders helps
win it,.
MAINTAIN the same courtesy and
consideration in a telephone conver-
sation that YOU would with your GUS

Doctor Martin told of the organi.

and improvement throughout the
city under his direction. He said
that one of the objects of these
classes was to give lessons to teach.
ers that they might obtain better
speaking in the classroom. That a
teacher demand perfect articulation
from her pupils he said was one OF
her duties. He said:
'Too often teachers are so inter.
ested in their subjects that they al
low children to answer mumblingly
thereby creating speech defects which
only become paramount as the child
grows older. Children of the lower
grades are often excused Of imper-
feet speech because the teachers call
it baby talk and think the child
will outgrow it. Often they allow
children to lisp because their teeth
are out, and as the teeth grow in the
child has formed an acute habit of
lisping. We have $4,000 cases OF
speech defects in our elementary
schools at the present time.''
Under the direction of Doctor
Martin and his 26 assistants, "vocal

schools daily. The object of these

HIGHER PRICE FOR RABBITS.

When the native Australian or the
longtime resident hears the cry.
"Rabbo, wild rabbo! Rabbo!" he
knows that he can get cheap din
ner that will also taste good, for the
rabbit huckster is going by. But
rabbits are now not nearly so cheap
as they were before the war. The
demand for meat of any kind has
raised the price. The supply, how.
ever is almost inexhaustible, and
since refrigeration and canning have
been undertaken on a large scale,
rabbit flesh has become an important
item in the food supply of the world.
One Australian firm last year
canned ss5,636 rabbits, and mil.
lions go to England and other coun.
tries in cold storage.-Youth's Com

that the wire strainer is not clogged
up with old oil. This is the most es-
sential part of the entire lubricating
system, and after the engine has been
started the oil gauge should be care
fully watched to see that the system
is working properly.
Do not neglect single item of the
lubricating system of your car, as it
is the most frequent cause of car
trouble.
If the storage battery has been TAX
en- care of properly during the winter
there should still be enough electricity
in it to furnish current to the spark
plugs and keep the engine running. But
there may not be enough to operate
the self starter, and it may be neces-
sary to get out the old starting crank.
If all of the solution was emptied ouf
of the battery during the winter it
will be necessary to take it to a garage
and have it refilled and recharged. If
the battery is partly charged as first
stated, the engine should be started
and allowed to run idly without driving
the car until the battery is brought up
to the proper charge.
The charge of the battery can be
tested accurately by any car owner If
he has hydrometer syringe. This is
simple device which costs about 50 or
less, but it makes sure.
Clean the spark plugs. They proba-
bly, need It especially if they have
been idle all winter.
Clean the carbon out Of the cylin-
ders, and flush them out with little
kerosene. A good way to keep an er-
gine free from carbon-and this applies
to stationary gasoline engine as well
as an automobile engine to pour
about tablespoonful Of kerosene into
each cylinder through the pet cocks a
couple Of times q week and let It stand
over night. When the motor again
starts, the kerosene and dissolved car
bon will pass out through the exhaust
pipes. m. o. A.
The valves may need little grind
ing or at least cleaning before the car
is in good running shape again for all
spring and summer.
Wash out the radiator thoroughly
with clean water before filling. After
filling. run the engine for few min
utes, drain out the entire water sys-
tenn, refill a second time. There may
be some dirt or rust somewhere in the
water system. which you should remov,
before you get out on the road and are
caught with a faulty cooling system.
Look over the gasoline system care
fully. but be sure not to attempt to
adjust the carhuretor unless it really
needs it, or unless you know you can
DO it CORRECTLY. It is always best to
let an experienced garageman adjust
carburetor. -1 .g-...
