tragic unbalance. Lexington said
quickly:
"But Helen says her mother is not
really dead. You have yourself told
me that this life Is but the camp of
one night In long journey, that the
better air of the hills is just beyond"
Slowly March smiled and sadly.

The Service Situation
By j. EpPs BROWN, President.

Telephone service should be adequate, ef-
1cieht and dependable; sufficient in guam
dty, satisfactory in quality and furnished
without interruption.
Adequate service is dependent upon ade-
quats facilities.
Efficient service is dependent upon suf-
6cfent number Of trained employees to
maintain and operate the facilities.
Dependable service Is dependent upon
both adequate facilities and trained forces.
The facilities are paid for with the money
invested in the business. Trained forces
are paid with the money paid to the Com.
pshy by the public for the service furnished.
In no other way can these essential req
uisites Of service be had, The needed facil-
titles are never paid for out Of the earnings
Of the company, and the employees are
never paid out Of the capital of the com.
Dsny.
Subsequent statements will show what
the Company has done to most its obliga-
ton to furnish both facilities and forces.
Everyone knows that this Company's
service has been dependable. Throughout
the war and in spite Of strikes and the most
abnormal conditions ever known, our serv-
Ice was furnished without interruption.
While the service now is not adequate to
meet the unprecedented demand, due to
causes which will be given later, the facts
show that the Company is now furnishing
far greater quantity Of service than ever
before.
The following figures show the service
furnished within the State Of Louisiana.
