''CUSS The MANAGER "A
NOT THE PHONE GIRL

BALTIMORE, Aug. o5.-"Whenever
you feel like cussing the telephone
company. call up the manager and
cuss him-don't cuss the operator"
Earl Goodwin, former Washington
newspaper man, now assistant to the
president OF the Chesapeake and Po-
tomac Telephone Company, declared
today In addressing the Advertising
Club OF Baltimore.
Mr.. Goodwin took up his cudgel in
defense OF the telephone girl and it's
one of his jobs to tell the story Of
the telephone operator to the country
THE manager is tough and can
stand a cussing out" he said, but
the girl you cuss at is pretty and
tender and sweet and all she will do
is leave and get another position
and you will be the loser"
He declared the telephone company
intends to spend money lavishly to
build up its service and all 1t asks
the public to RENE mber is that "cussing
the telephone girl gets you nowhere
When the operators are abused. they
quit and new girls must be broken in
to difficult work. which always. he

Under the management OF Z. I.

cooperative stores are doing busi-
ness ranging from $4,000 to $4,000
month. Indications are that in an
other month the stores will be SELL
ing 81 900 worth of supplies and pro-
visions a day to hundreds of Govern
ment employees, who are eager 10 take
advantage of the opportunity Uncle
Sam holds out to them
Scarcely more than month ago,
when Morse was put in charge of the
stores. they were doing business of
only $1,000 a month, with no indica-
ton of an increase. Now the stores
have more than doubled their month
ly sales and are having difficulty, 1t is
said, in keeping supplied with all lines
of popular goods.

With the close OF the war. the tide
Of alien migration both into and out
OF the United States Is getting back
toward pre-war levels. as shown by
ngures compiled yesterday by An
thony caminetti. commissioner gen
eral OF immigration.
In twelve months up to July l,
6O6, $50 aliens entered the United
States. and 437. $50 aliens left for
European and other ports. In the
twelve months ending July I, 1917
immigration was l I.21S,000. which was
with one exception the largest num-
Der OF aliens coming into the United
States in any one 1seal year. The
exception was 1907, when the total
was i. .2s5.00O
Figures on immigrants and non-im'
migrantsar are complete for niue months
ending April I, and they show that
a growing number OF persons OF for
eign birth are coming TO the United
States to make their home, while
large tide OF alien born persons are
making their way back to Europe TO
NIL the place OF those slain in the war
and to help rehabilitate the shattered
countries.
For the nine months the total alien
arrivals amounted to 397 ,250. of whom
265,3ls were classed as immigrant.

Immigrants Again Turn
To America For Homes
As In Days Before War

whom 22T.544 were classed as emil
grant or permanent departures. and
los. ASS as non-smigrsnL or tempor-
aTy..
One significant fact is that while
the departures of aliens during the
nrst nine months OF the fiscal year,
both temporary and permanent. were
within $4,000 OF the arrivals, the to-
tai arrivals for the last three months
OF the year were at the rate OF 10000
. month. more than double the num-
Der OF alien DEPARTURES. The. figures
for the last three months are preiimi- :
airy, and subject TO correction, and
do not separate the permanent from
the temporary movements.
Until a new generation comes up.
we cannot expect the same class OF
immigrants, from a physical view
point that we received before the
war" said Commissioner Caminetti'
in response TO a quektion. .. :
Twelve million OF the flower OF
Europe were killed during the war.
Many more millions have been In
jured and thereby are incapacitated
for the ordinary duties OF life. Hence.
IL must necessarily follow that the
new immigration cannot be OF the
same general character.
This condition does not necessarily
cut down the influx. On the contrary.
many OF the people who are incapaci-
tated are clsmoring to come to the
United States. In addition TO many
others who were not engaged In the
war as combatAnts."
