DOCTORS LOSING

London. Dec 20-Physicians and
surge ans have fallen upon lean times, and
complaints of dwindling practices are
Widespread. The other day a doctor from
tic fashionable Harley street district was
sued in the courts for small debt which
he declared he was unable to pay because
his practice had dropped almost TO the
vanishing point
Fashionable doctors say that so many
ordinary practitioners have had wartime
experience with surgery cases that. in
thousands of instances, they now do their
own operating instead of sending theiI
patients to specialists. Another reason
is that many formerly well-to-do people
who would in other circumstances have
, consulted n prominent physician now e
to hospitals where they obtain treatment
at much lower cost. Others say that
i women now prefer to be attended by
doctors of their own sex and that pSy
i choanalysis and various forms of faitl
healing account for the falling off in thu
number of patients.

Perhaps You, Too, Would Be Interested To Know
How Telephone Operators Interpret Light Signals

THE wire chief had con-
nectcd up 4 desk tele-
phone so that it stood on the
switchboard shelf only t-vo or
three feet away from the
switchboard signal light with
which it was connected. He
paused in front of it as he con-
voyed a group of newspaper
men through his office during
our recent Telephone Week.
Il connected this instrument
TO demonstrate how the oper-
ator gets the light signal" he
said. He lifted the receiver as
he spoke and instantly a tiny
electric light glowed on the
switchboard. Then he took 4
plug, deity inserted it in the
hole under the light, and lol it
went out.
That's where the operator
says Number, please?' ?" he cx-
planned. When you give her
the number and she connects
YOU with the line you ask for,
a light connected to that line
glows on the switchboard
shelf. As soon as the called
party answers, the light goes
out. As each hangs up his re-
ceivcr, the lights connected to
their respective telephones
burn. That signal tells her to
take down the connection.
Let us suppose, however, "
he went OH, that you have fin
ishcd your talk and want to
signal the operator so as to
ask for another number" As
he spoke, he pressed down the
receiver hook of the desk stand
and let it spring back again,
and repeated the operation
four or five times, with the
cadence of a clock pendulum,
