There Is, HoweUer, an
EfectiUe Remedy

1t lies in classification Of service which will
enable a subscriber when he finds his tele-
phone needs exceeding the limit for any
particular class of service, TO change, at
nominal expense, TO another class that will
properly handle his business.
In other words, TO insure speedy and
efficient telephone service, il is necessary that
every telephone subscriber be equipped with
such facilities that be can, inOariabIy be
reached By telephone without delay.
Such plan, placed in operation with the
subscriber cooperation, reduces TO a mini
mum the troublesome BUSY reports It
saves your time and our time It removes the
cause for irritation and multiplication of
operating errors.
Let US repeat that We are constructing in
Detroit as fine and complete a telephone plant
as can be found anywhere in the country;
and that we have in the operating organization
q class of young women intelligent and sincere
in their work as any in the business world
But 20 round out our improvement
program, we must await permission from the
State Railroad Commission to rc-classify the
service as suggested.
SO, all things considered, you may rest
assured that we are definitely and surely
committed 20 policy that viii give Detroit
that quality oil telephone service which will
place her in a class with New TUTk, Chicago
and other great American cities. To reach
that goal is the height Of our ambition, as il is
also TIE earnest desire Of our subscribers, and
we shall continue e. ,livc not only to attain it,
but also 70 keep 1t when attained.

become impatient because they are repeatedly
told: The line IS busy They remain on the
line and insist that the operator keep trying
and finally so confuse her that she makes errors
on other calls. These errors, in turn, irritate
other subscribers This confusion and irrita-
ton, following psychological and natural laws,
is bound to affect the work of the operator.
Imagine yourself subject to the same condi-
tons in your work. DO you think it would
impair your efficiency? Is it any wonder that
many telephone calls are not handled correctly

~ GOD telephone service is more than
= matter of fine buildings, ample equip
ment and skillful telephone operating.
All Of these things are, of course, essential.
In recognition Of that fact our $4,000 900
Improvement program was begun and
is being completed with all possible vigor.
Bearing in mind the things we have tried TO
convey to you in these talks on Telephone
Service, you will agree that, from plant and
operating standpoint, we are already doing
everything within our power to give Detroit
quality of service that will be satisfactory and
pleasing 20 all concerned.
But after all is said and done, we must admit
that, having made full provision for all these
matters, we are, nevertheless, doomed to fall
short Of our common desire unless we receive
your cooperation and assistance.

woman nrancier who has not lost the
habit of being penny wise although
she already amassed her millions. The
combination makes quaint and
charming little study in human foibles
which makes up in character work
what it lacks in action.
The story is all about little par
sons daughter, named Deborah, who
manages to spread her fathers mea-
ger funds over the demands of the
family. When the hard.hearted wo'
man iancier forecloses the mortgage
on the orphanage, the minister's FAM
ily is increased by five orphans of as
sorted sizes which makes it necessary
for Debby to find additional funds to
support them. Disguised as boy, she
takes a position in the home of the
stingy old woman but her disguise de-
ceives no one and she remains as the
little peace.maker who softens the
heart of the old skin flint, prevents
a robbery and brings sunshine into
the life of the somber household.

orioin Of Garden Carrot.

Wild carrot or Queen Anne's lace
(Daucus carota) is thought to be the
plant from which the cultivated gar
den carrot originated. The garden
carrot, If allowed to grow unmolested
for several years, gradually loses the
highly developed crown-tuber for
which it is valued as a vegetable, and
becomes indistlngulshable from the or
binary wild carrot.
