"WHAT IS YOUR NAME?"
Is Question "Hello Girl' On Toll Line Will Ask On Long Distance Calls HenccfOrth.

When making a telephone call ou, of town henceforth, subscribers whc hear the Voice with the smile ask What is your name, please ?' are apt to think she is trying to f1irt with them but she isn't.
 The toll operator is using a tele- phone phrase recently adopted here' but which has been in use in other cities throughout the country for some time. It has been proved that by learning the name of the calling per son, the toll operator is enabled to give more satisfactory service.
 For instance, there may be more than one call for New York from the booths at an attended public pay sta ton, or through the private branch exchange in a large factory or office building. When the toll operator can say, "On MT. Browns call to New York, we are ready" the attended sta tion operator or the P. B. x. operator knows which one of the several New York calls that have been placed by her, is ready The element of doubt is removed and the wrong person is not summoned to the telephone.
 Furthermore, requiring the name of the calling person, may check the placing of the toll calls in factories and elsewhere, by persons not au- thorized to use the service in that way. The name of the calling per son will be written on the toll ticket and thereafter it will be easy to de- termine who made each telephone toll call that is charged against any subscriber.

BRIDGE TO CANADA
Structure eBtween Detroit. and Op- posite Shore Started-TO Be Long est Single Span in World.


 Detroit, Mich, Feb. 1.-First actual steps toward bridging the Detroit river between this city and Canada have been taken. Engineers have started boring at several points be- tween Twelfth street and River Rouge on the American side and be- tween Windsor and Ojibway on the Canadian side, to determine the To- cation of the structure. The borings will find bed rock on which to pdace tower piers, on which cables will be anchored 100 feet below the surface of Detroit river. Results of the borngs will be known within the next month.
 The span will be 1892 feet, the longest single span bridge in the world. The present record for length is held by the cantilever bridge at Quebec, which is 1,S00 feet long, or but two feet shorter than the one to be built here.
 Surveys to fix harbor lines will be started within a few days. Accurate measurement of the distance across the river also will be made to match street lines and permit engineers to fit the bridge steel. Actual construc- tion of the bridge will start with the coming of favorable weather in the spring, it is announced.
 The bridge will carry vehicular and street car traffic and also afford walks for pedestrians.
