Official Light on the Tele-
phone Matter
By EARL GOODWIN.

Here is bit of information that may be interesting to
telephone who wonder why their bills higher thea
before
1t is acopy of letter from official of the Postoce
Department to telephone who asked why the monthly
rates had been raised in spite of a contract.
Here is the answer. l make comment But YOU
can if you want:
''Your letter of the 10TH addressed to Mr. Merritt o.
Chance postmaster of this city has been referred to for
reply.
The local telephone system has long been operated at
heavy loss due to the unprecedented increase in the
of the telephone and the demand for facilities arising out of
conditions If it had been possibe>to have introduced
the automatic telephone exchange without any loss of me
the operating costs would have been much lower than has
actually been the In order to meet the rapidly
banded demand for service, however additional manual
equipment hastily installed At present there is
equipment hand than is needed. Much of it pur-
chased during the at high prices and installed at very
great expense. This equipment will than suffice to
meet the normal increase in service for considerable period
to 1t WILL therefore, not be practical to scrap this
plant and introduce the automatic system at this time If the
object be to money.
at to be regretted that the emergency had to be met
in this way for it the most expensive way but it
the only way in which the emergency could be met When
you realize that the volume of local business October
1913 four times great that of year earlier
you realize the unprecedented strain the local tee
phone system.
"Wih the prospective increase of rates in effect the
local system will still be operated loss for the Govern
ment but it would not fair to the people of the Dis
tc make greater increase under the circumstances

there elect a delegate. The general
public should be invited to this meet
ing: the delegates being seated t.,
gether in separate place.
am OF the opinion that this
method OF voting is thoroughly demo-
cratic. and is practical for the Dis
trict of Columbia, for the following
reasons: First, That there Is already
at hand the necessary machinery to
provide a thorough representation OF
the whole people through their union
organizations, trade associations, ana
similar bodies. Second. That under
this plan Of voting. the voter could
be allowed to select his or Tier voting
relation, /. .. organization, profession,
industry. geographical, etc Third,
That il is possible to prevent fraud
and repeating by having registration
cards with name. sex. address, voting
relation whether union, employment,
or where). The directory could bS

have noticed recently that Col.
Robert y. Harper and A number OF
congressman have expressed the idea
that il would be a good plan to have
the people get together in a huge
mass meeting, and decide if they want
suffrage. and, IL so, to decide what
they want. and then TO set to work
and get 1t.
am of the opinion that good plan
to insure this mass meeting to be
representative OF the people will be
TO have them elect delegates from
their various vocational, industrial
and professional organizations; say.
one delegate to each 500 members or
major portion thereOf-any Organiza-
ton not having the required 800 mem
bers to be entitled to one delegate.
These delegates to be provided with
the proper credentials and to be in
struCted, or not, by their various or
ganizationS. as desired by the mem
bership. Any of tho people that are
not organized could get together at
their places OF employment, or where

A CORRESPONDENT, in one Of
~ the departments of the Gov
eminent here in Washing
ton, writes me a letter that con-
tains a few wholesome hints for
"EVerywoman."
She says she is twenty-nine years
of age, but looks forty because she
hates her job. All her life, since
she can remember, she has wanted
to write, or as she puts it: My life
has been passed not in reality, but
in living the stories | haven't time
to write"
She goes on to tell me that it
was necessary for her to earn her
living as quickly as possible, owing
to lack of money at home. And
that she had to fit herself for some
thing that could be depended on to
bring in the pay envelope without
any element of uncertainty.
Stenography and typewritlng
seemed surer than anything else,
and she applied herself until she
became proficient in them, and took
a Government JOD.
She has been earning her living
and helping along the family by
this means for the past ten years.
She says she has a good position,
as such positions 90, but that the
work is deadly and that she "has
no words to express her aversion
for II And she writes to me to
ask me if her lack of enthusiasm
for her job is what makes her look
so old.
Unhesitatingly, l answer that
nothing is more aging than earning
ones living by means of an uncon-
genial task. And if she has arrived
at the point where it is impossible
to put any spirit or enthusiasm in
her work, the best thing for her
to do is TO seek another job.
Enthusiasm the Best Beauty Tonic
The best tonic and preserver of
youth and good looks is undoubt-
edly enthusiasm. A vital interest
as a milestone for every faculty
and the years glide by, leaving
little or no trace of their foot
prints. Genuinely busy people
have no time in which to get old.
ard work never ages like mon
otony and boredom. 1t is the
daily grind, unsweetened by
fervor or inspiration, that turns
women into pottering old crea-
lures before their time.
So if you would keep young,
vital, and interesting and yet have
no consuming occupation to fill
your life, cts up to you" 10

tirely selfish reason. The war did

Cleanse the stufrd bosom Of that

DOCTOR:
Therein me patient must min
lister to himself"
Therein my correspondent, aged
Twenty-Five, but looking forty,
must minister to herself. She must
fit herself for taking up the work
she loves, study evenings and at
odd times, and give herself a
chance to develop. There are sew
eral excellent text books written
on the construction of the short
story, which is the branch of liter
airy art in which she desires to
specialize. She will be able to
get these books in any lending
library, and the amount of infor-
nation they have to imDart is
highly satisfactory.
Better to Have Tried and Lost.
There are classes in short story
writing-several good ones here
in Washington-that will not seem
like study at all, so quickly does
the time pass when one is vitality
interested. Then l should advise
her, having a working knowledge
of the art in which she hopes to
distinguish herself, that she take
some leave from the department
without pay and set to work to put
her ingenuity and her newly ac-
qulred technique to the test.
Even If she should not succeed
IN getting anything accepted by
the publishers. she will have the
satisfaction of knowing that she
has backed her own hand to the
limit. And doubtless she would go
back to her stenography and type
writing with a better grace, or
perhaps she might get a secre-
taryship to some literary man or
woman and find congenial occupa-
ton IN help y to hand along the
torch. The posiibilities of finding
a greater measure of content
ment are endless, and it is better
to have tried and lost, than never
to have tried at all, to amend Ten
nyson.
Nothing is so disastrous to ones
peace of mind and therefore to
ones good looks, as doing over
and over again work in which he
has no heart. Haven't you seen
women on the streets, in the
shops, or in street cars so
palpably distressed below the sur
face that to look at them at all
is like looking at emotions under
glass. Poor square pegs in round
holes that lack the ingenuity or
the industry to move along to the
square holes where they fit and
belong.

We round a curve,
His sole defense
A steady nerve,
He grabs a strap
A sickening snap,
And finds himself
Upon her lap;

Trod upon her
Dainty toes,
And rubbed the powder
From her nose.

Just with your pennies,
Your nickels and dimes:
Yes, just with your pennies
Your nickels, your dimes
We've spent the pennies,
The nickels, the dimes;
Made doughnuts for soldiers
In all lands and chimes,
Just with the pennies,

It's taken the pennies,
The nickels and dimes;
We've followed them all
From the Seine to the Rhine
Because we had pennies
And nickels and dimes.
We have not spared the pennies,
The nickels and dimes;
We gave of the best,
And we gave at all times:
For we loved all the boys
In all lands and all climeS.
Now we're in need Of more pennies.
More nickels and dimes;
There are still many boys
In strange lands and strange
chimes;
We must give them the comforts
Bought with pennies and dimes.
Again give US a hand.

In all lands and all climes.

What we really have done
With your nickels and dimes.
