DON'T GET PEEVED IF
NAMES MISSPELLED
Simple System Explained for
Transmission Of Names
To Newspapers

Full many time and oft" The
Banner reportorial staff has struggled
at the telephone to clear away the
mists that hover over letters-initials,
especially that sound very much
alike when caught by strange ear
at the phones receiving end.

is incorrectly spelled-when ans"e' is

you are justly proud, is written plain

Well, you do for no matter how
great or broad-minded a man Is, the
spelling of names is a subject on
which the whole world is kin. No

But there is something to be said
in behalf of the person who is COM

are; how indistinguishable "F" and

sound. Try to get name such as
"Schmedtje" over the telephone. Per.
haps it will look like this in print:
"Fchnetdje." Or Pfeiffer--in the pro-
cess through which it passes it may
look like this: "Tseisser."

| Here is little system which is
coming into general use. The Asso.
ciated Press on its telephone circuits
uses it with great success it is found
invaluable in registering correctly
the names of unpronounceable and
quite unspellable names OF men,
towns, cities, countries and localities.
The system is to illustrate the letter
by giving word the first letter oi
which is the letter you wish to convey
over the telephone as: for Sam
G for Chas.; 2 for Zero; Z for Ed
ward; N for Newton; T for Tom; D
for Ben; E for Edward. =
Maybe you think this is an elab.
crate and cumbersome system, but
1t is the easiest and simplest in the
long run, and instead of shouting and
laboriously trying to get such name
over and incidentally losing ones
equilibrium, try it and see with what
satisfaction you will note your name
reproduced in print, correct to the
smallest detail

and if you like fussy ones why take
them as illustrative of the point but
attach names to letters and it will be
of mutual benefit.
