VISITING BY PHONE
Corporation Commission Orders Phone
Company To Interrupt Converse
ton In Case OF Emergency.

How would you like to be cut Oh
in the middle of telephone converse
ton with the information from the
operator that your time is up" and
that you had been using the line as
long as was permissible for any one
message?
You'd probably burn out the fuse,
or the generator, or the lightning RCD
or whatever it IS that burns out
telling the operator just what you
think about it.
That is the remedy, nevertheless
which may eventually be preseriD' d
by city or state legislation as cure
for the increasing habit Of continuing
telephone conversations indefinitely.
So serious has become the practice
Of paying prolonged visits by tele'
phone that the State Corporation
Commission in its recent decision
held that the telephone company may
interrupt party line conversation fol
the purpose Of transmitting calls toi
physicians, fire officers, and for pur
noses of law enforcement.

FIRST AID TRAINING
TO men AND WOMEN
American Bed Cross Is Teaching
Hundreds of Thousands Life
Saving Methods. -,
Teaching First Aid

The purpose of instruction In First
Aid to the injured offered-by the Amer
lean Red Cross is to train men and
women to administer First Aid treat
ment promptly and intelligently when
emergencies demand it. First Aid
treatment Is not intended to take the
place Of a physicians service. A sur
geon should always be summoned as
precautionary measure where there
Is an injury Of any consequence, but
when one cannot be secured few min
utes' delay may mean fatality. In
such case q person trained in First
Aid Is Invaluable not only to the In.
dividual, but through him to the com.
munity in which he lives.
There is perhaps no way of ascer'
tanning the number Of deaths or seri-
GUS. disebements which result from
lack Of proper safeguards or prompt
emergency treatment. 1t Is safe to as
sert they number thousands daily.
There can be no doubt that the appli-
cation of First Aid methods to each
case would UNNECESSARILY tighten the
country's toll Of suffering and death.
The dissemination of First Aid train
Ing and information has already pro-
duced farreaching and beneficial in
fuence lin the prevention OF accidents
on railroads, In mines and in great in
dustrial concerns.
The benefit Of widespread knowl-
edge of First Aid in the event Of a
great disaster, such as train wreck,
an explosion, an earthquake, etc, Is
obvious. Laymen who have had First
Aid training can render efficient as
sistance. Many lives may depend upon
such emergency care.
Red Cross First Aid work Includes
~ the formation and conduct, through
Red Cross chapters, of classes for In
struction in accident prevention and
First Aid to the injured among men
and women In all communities and In
every industry; (2) the Introduction Of
courses of instruction III high schools
and colleges.
The Red Cross IS prepared to supply
First Aid books and equipment at rea-
sonabe prices.
Every person In this country able to
do so should, in his own Interest, re-
celYe Red Cross First Aid instruction.
Information about the course and In
struction classes may be had at the
nearest chapter headquarters.

One subscriber told of an instance
in which he had tried for half an
hour to reach his own Office. Each
time the line was busy. He knew
that the stsnographer and Office boy
were the only ones there to use the
telephone. Finally, in desperation, he
asked the manager of the telephone
company if there wasn't some way the
operator could break in on the wire
and tell his-s|help" that the boss
wanted chance to say a word.
Of course, the telephone people
could not do it in this case. But the
problem of reducing the length of un:
important calls is one that directly
affects the service given by any tele-
phone company.
C. H. Weber, Division Manager OF
the telephone company says that four
teen per Gent. of the calls placed in
Richmond do not reach their destina-
ton because the number called is
busy. Busy lines affect two Of the
three parties to every call. To the
one making a call, they are source
CT arLoy anca. causing delay and the
bother Of calling a second or third
. time. To the operator, they mean ex-
ira work. 1t is claimed that it is
easier for her to make connection
! than to report that the line is busy.
ITO the person called - well, he's
his own telephone, which he
w-.rfc2t right to do-thats all
Dl1gse Z to it. OF course, if you are
on a party line, it is manifestly unfair
to pay a prolonged wire visit and thus
prevent other telephone users on the
line from making calls or receiving
them.
! If every user Of the telephone would
lEemember, say the telephone officials,
hat an Idle conversation can keep an
important message away from two
Alephones; il they are on party
anSrom larger number of tele-
nsnd if every person would
down 10 a reasonable tins
e would Re considerably less
complaint and real i'm
