GYPSIES PASS ~,
THROUGH MEXICO MONDAYes
IN STRANGE CARAVAN


A strange caravan stopped at the
Standard Oil Filling Station Monday
morning to secure gasoline, water
and oil in order that it might continue
its wanderings to no one knows
where. The, caravan consisted of a
Ford, Hudson super six and Cadillac
but the passengers themselves were
just gypsies. There were the
usual number of women in bright
costumes and head dresses and wear
ing the usual quantity Of gaudy jew
elry, the usual number of men in pic
turesque attire, the usual number of
dark skinned children and the usual
array of untjdy household goods.
Only the customary string of poorly
fed horses was missing. Time brings
changes as seen in the evolution of
the covered wagon to the six cylin-
dered car but the gypsy seems un-
changed. He still wanders aimlessly
from place, telling fortunes and sell
ng few worthless articles.

LONG DISTANCE CALLS
ORDERED BY WHOLESALE

Telephone Connections Furnished
Wholesale and Retail"
Accustomed though the average
American has become to the unusua
and the striking in signs, he would
doubtless pause to wonder if his eye
| fell upon this legend printed in large
black letters across the face of his
| local telephone office.
For the average American thinks
OF telephone service as being merely a
retail commodity. In his conception
the instrument is individual, to be used
for calling the butcher. the baker for
specific purpose, then laid aside until
some other specific necessity for it
arises.
AS matter of fact, very consid-
cradle part of the toll connections in
many telephone offices, particularly in
the larger cities, may be described as
wholesale calls. In telephone par
lance they arc Sequence calls, by
which is meant that two or more toll
calls are placed at the, same time on
which the same calling party wishes
to talk.
Smith, the wholesale fish dealer,
when he arrives at his place OF bust
ness at 4 o'clock in the morning and
puts in an order for dozen or more
connections with retail dealers in sub
urban towns. is making use of Sc
quencc calls. SO is Jones. who has
a particularly interesting stock propo-
sition to offer to business men with
little money to invest, when he sends
the telephone company his entire list
of out-of-town prospects. with instruc-
tons as to just how many numbers
shall be called each day for given
period.
In many instances, the two or
more" toll calls may grow into many
houndrcds, perhaps thousands. In
New York long distance headquarters
for instance, the daily average OF these
sequence calls is zoe. Often a thou
sand or more may be listed at once
by single business office or whole
sale manufacturing concern.
Nor is the mere establishing OF the
connections specified i'll these Sc
quence lists. complicated proposition
though it is, all that is involved in
many of these telephone orders Ere
quently a long list will be submitted
with instructions to call only those
names which can be reached at a GER
tain minimum toll charge. One sub
scriber will specify fifty cents a
name, another seventy-five, while an
other will place dollar as the limit
Some subscribers specify that they
wish to talk to men on a specified list,
while others demand that only women
be called. Some stipulate that calls
be placed during the evening only
while others do their sequence tele-
phone business only on Sunday.
And SO it goes, day in day out, hour
