THE TICKET OFFICE WORKS OVERTIME AS
 vACATION|NG BEGINS

elessiy working for eight hours Of every work day, four ticket men stand @t 0 the consolidated railroad ticket of- stamping and selling tickets, naak- sS Iepiy to a thousand and one quer- teS ana trying to keep pace with the ever increasing business that has come ~ lhls off1ce with the growth of the G.ey and the exodus of residents of noenlx leaving the city for their sum mer vacations.
 Iess numbers, with a steady line at the counter, come dozens upon dozens Of pSopie seeking travel information pur- chaslng tickets and otherwise arrang- lne Tor railroad trips out of the city. The advent of warm weather signaliZed the opening O. the rush for cooler cHmes and the Outpourine has been so great that at the present time reserva- uons for sleeping accommodations are being received one month in advance. Ihe majority of the travel is pointed towards California, where many Phoc- nlclans are spending the summer months in comfortable relaxation
 An inquiry at the office elicited the Information that the business of sell ing railroad tickets had increased fully 1vo per cent over last year, with no signs of cessation. While the largest percentage of residents are leaving for the coast, a goodly number are mak- ing their way to all parts of this coun- try and Canada And at the same time there seem to be as many people in Phoenix rsS ever.
 The consolidated office is used as 2 bureau of information-by the travelling public, and the ticket men stand be hlnd the counter and answer uues- tons which would test the patience of Job Some Of the questions asked are of the kind that are responsible for +ha large number of inmates at our insane asylums throughout the country.

instance the telephone rings and a fem mine voice inquiries. What time does the train leave for Los Angelcs?'
 Five fifty"
 What time Is it now?"
 Five o'clock"
 Well. uc you think I'll have time to dress and make it?'
 Here is another example of what these men have to contend with:
 What is the best way to go Co Kansas City?'
 Either RocK Island or Santa Fe, which ever you choose"
 What time does the Santa Fe train leave?"
 Five twenty five D. m.''
 What time 3oes it arrive in Kansas City?"
 Ten thirty p. m. the second eve ming"
 Well. I didn't want to go Santa Fe anyway. Give me ticket on the Rock Island"
 The following Is a common occur renee:
 (Which train makes the best time to Californian
 @The S. p. is an hour faster than the Santa Fe on account of a little shorter mileage"
 well. an hour doesn't make any diff ference to me- Give me ticket on the Santa Fe." Just as the clerk stamps q Santa F'e ticket, the customer cx- claims:
 Wait a minute. Will you guarantee that the s. P. gets there one hour be- fore the Santa Fe?"
 'No, we can't do that. It is usually on time"
 "AH right. give me a ticket on the s. P. I think I'll like that better any way"
 And then comes the real information pest, who advances to the counter in pompous fashion and fires his questions with lightning-lilz rapidity.
 "How much Is a ticket to Los AneeIes?"
 "Eighteen sixty-eight"
 ''How much $ a ticket to San Diego?''
 "Twenty-two seventy three"
 Thanks, give me ticket to Mari copa.''
 The quintessence of indifference Is represented by the individual who asks. How much is a berth?" "Where to?" says the ticket man. ITO Cali fornia.'' "'Whet point?" "Oh. any place at all.''
 The most common form of question is, What time does the 5:50 train leaye%' and al day long the ticket men are kept busy answering questions such as "Why can't I take my dog into q Pullman car," and How much is a ticket to the sheep and goats show = One woman wanted to know whether she could send her little boy back to Philadelphia "in care of the conductor '' and upon being informed that this was impossible, wanted to know whether she could express him.
 All day long this thing goes on while the passenger traffic grows heavier and heavier every Gay. East bound txSffic especially is S heavy that trains are being run in two sections. The law allows not more than fourteen cars in a train. and when a score or more of passenger cars go east daily it is neces- sary to run the train in two parts.
 The principal reason advanced for the heavy increase in the passenger traffic is that people have recovered from the necessity oe wartime economy and are spending their money more freely. Until one year ago they had

 As a surprise MT. Marks was pre- sented with beautiful attorneys brief bag, upon which is his name in gold.
