Subscribers Can Help
Improve Own Service
Many Ways in Which Users of Tele-
phone May Promote Its
Efficiency.

From the viewpoint of the person
desiring to talk, good telephone service
consists in being able to reach
promptly and without confusion any
person desired and to talk satisfaet-
orily and without interruption. 1t is
seldom appreciated how important a
part the subscribers themselves play
in the giving of telephone service.
The person desired should answer a
call promptly and courteously. He
should have sufficient telephone facil-
tiles so that his lines will not be
busy an undue portion of the time. If
he has a private branch exchange, he
should provide himself with compe-
tent operators, and if he does not
answer the telephone himself he
should make provision for someone
else to answer it properly.
The calling subscriber should know
how to make his calls, he should give
the call accurately and clearly to the
operator, and he should pay attention
to her repition. He should know how
to use the transmitter and receiver so
as to obtain the maximum efficiency
from those instruments. He should
know the significance of such signals
as the audible ringing signal, and he
should know how to signal the opera
tor. Subscribers on party lines should
refrain from interference with other
persons on their lines who may be
talking. If there is failure in any of
these ways, the subscriber cannot re-
ceive satisfactory service although the
telephone company does everything in
its power.
The functions of the telephone com
pany in giving service which are most
commonly recognized are the provi-
sion of adequate plant carefully plan
ned by competent telephone engineers
and properly maintained; the work
of the traffic department which OPP
crates the plant to connect one sub
scriber with another and the import
ant work of the commercial depart
ment which handles the business rela-
tions with subscribers and which aids
them in providing themselves with
proper facilities to handle their tele-
phone business. 1t must also provide
adequate directories so that the sub
scriber may know with whom he a
talk.

So after all, the business end Of
u statewide commodity associations
is not in bad shape, and why should
it be? The personnel of the boards
of directors Of these associations is
composed of men of high standing and
equal in business caliber, resources,
and native ability to the boards Of
some of our successful business cor
p~oyations. Besides being composed
of the leading farmers of the COM
munity, a goodly number of country
banks are represented by their ofic-
ers and directors. Many of these men
are graduates from our University
and our Agricultural College.
This statement concerning our CO.
operative associations as they now ex-
list does not mean that the millennium
has been approached or that there
is not a great work still to be done.
The movement is young, and is beset
with many obstacles because of its
youth. These obstacles take the shape
of a decided lack of knowledge and
information of cooperative principles
amongst producers, members and non
members alike, and the opposition
of country business interests who be-
lieve the cooperative association en-
croaches upon their field and who
use their influence to create doubt
and suspicion among association men,
bers. 1t is in this sphere of work
where the assistance of the Portland
Chamber of Commerce is badly need
ed, and where there is the opportun-
ity for service which will be Of last
ing benefit to tn, state. The feet that

Have you sometimes wondered at
the spirit of extravaganza which
seems to have taken possession of
the people? 1t is one of the results
of the gambling wave that has swept
over this country.
The desire to gamble seems to have
entered every breast.
The evil of gambling is seen every
where.
Its dirty fingers are on nearly every
garment.
1t has invaded the church s~ocials,
and has stained the very robes and
liveries of heaven.
The fiends who gambled on the Saw
iour's garments are still polluting the
aisles of the church with their dirty
feet and nimble fingers. Raffles, lot
t%eries, games of chance have polluted
certain religious circles, have become
the social features of clubs, societies,
and organizations.
This gambling spirit has ruined
the youths ambitions, and has caused
thousands of girls to sell their all.

HONEY PHILOSOPHY for 1922

Here's the housing problem. Nothin'

ways of our sturdy ancestors and
live in caves. Still, we've got to face
all this marital discomfort. Everybody

tin married, again, gettin' divorced
again, an the whole trouble could
be stopped by nobody gettin' married
at all. Then we've got the trouble
with children-nothin' but care an
sacrifice-well, let the people decide
not to have any children. Really,
there isn't a COMPOUNDED thing right
with the whole world, so why not
stop it? Can't be done? Boy, we're in
a fix. Maybe we'd better not waste
time erouching. Then we'd have time

beautiful p%arlors have been turned
into dens of vice at the suggestion
OF the avaricious beast-the gambler.
There was never a greater curse
sweeping a land than the gambling
spirit. 1t has turned cigar stand,
restaurant, club table, and places Of
amusement into a gambling center.
Men disregard city, state, and ma
tional statutes to ply their game, to
throw their dice, and to crafty their
desire to get something for nothing.
Thousands of young men are in the
p~enitentiary today at the dictation
Of this awful curse.
Is there no way to stop it?
Can't the business men call their
girls into their Offices and talk to
them about honesty and frugality?
Is it not possible for the ministers
of the country to preach against this
evil; the Sunday School to teach the
danger Of such a practice; the courts
to enforce rigid penalties, and thereby
bring America to see this awful men
ace?
The gambling curse is costing this
nation hundreds Of thousands Of dol

WHY q
DO THINGS APPEAR -
TO WHiRL AROUND
WHEN WE ARE DIZZY

TNASMUCH as things appear to be
going around in circle when we
are dizzy but our common sense tells
us that they must be stationary, as al
ways, II would seem that the fault
lies In our eyes. But 1t really lies in,
or near, the ear-an organ which APP
parently has nothing to do with the
sight or feeling.
Close to the ear, however, is located
the little organ which gives us our
power of balance, permits us TO walk
upright without tottering and, when
properly trained, to assume postures
which are distinctly outside the regu-
lar routine Of our daily lives. Eccen.
trio dancers, acrobats, athletes and
others have unconsclously trained this
balance wheel" until they can do
strange things without, as we say,
"losing their balance" When we spin
around rapidly, this delicate mechan-
ism Is disturbed or thrown just little
out Of gear, causing the eyes to move
Independently of each other and to
send different impressions to the
brain. This causes the spinning ef-
feet which we know as dizziness"
perslsting for longer or shorter
period of time, dependent upon the
rapIdity and length of time for which
one has revolved.

MOST MEN LABELED

FXECUTIVES who make serious
- study of choosing men for posi-
tions have little difficulty in doing so.
Most men are labeled. Whether
they know II or not, their ability will
usually come out in a short conversa-
tion about the job they have applied
for.
Inability shows itself in the same
way.
The applicant may make every ef-
fort to prove that he can hold a Job,
but II he can't hold II an able chooser
of men will find II out before he is
hired.
The competent man may be shy; he
may lack the instinct OF putting his
best foot forward; he may be poor
self-booster, awkward in expression.
Yet the label is there, and the execu-
tive who has studied men can read 1t.
In the same way the competent
business man can tell the nature of
the man he Is about to do business
with. He may judge by trick of
facial expression, by careless word
or hasty opinion, by a tendency to
boast, or refusal to boast, but he
can tell.
Mistakes happen, of course. But
they do not happen so often when the
direct method of judging men is en-
ployed, as when the method is in
direct.
Many men of only average ability
can answer questionnaires. Few can
talk with a shrewd prospective EN-
ployer without disclosing to a very
large degree their unftness for the
Job.

II is there anyway. II will be more
than you can manage to conceal 1t.
If 1t is & poor label, you can make
II better. But you cannot make II bet
ter by any conversational fights that
are not backed up by solid ability.
