NANYLEAVE TELEPHONE
Receivers Off HOOKS
In Nine Months More Than
100000 People Forgot to
Replace Them.

During the first nine months Of 1923.
more than a quarter of a million re-
celvers were left off the hooks by
telephone subscribers in Pennsylvania.
New Jersey and Delaware.
There are many ways in which tele-
phone users are guilty of his negli-
gence, but in each CASE the result is
the same.
On receiving no response to her
Number, please?" the operator re-
ports the line out of order. The
"Howler'' is then placed on the line
at the central office end. This is a
device which sends a shrill, whistling
sound through the telephone of which
the receiver has been left off the
hook. " someone hears the noise and
replaces the receiver the error is
remedied.
If the bowler fails to attract atten-
ton, service is discontinued from the
telephone in order to put out the light
before the operator. Then a repair
man is sent to correct the error by
placing the receiver on the hook or
asking the subscriber to do so.
An average of twenty minutes Is
required to correct each case. Thus
Approximately $4,000 hours of tele-
phone service were lost by these sub
scribers because they forgot to hang
up their receivers.

TWISTED TELEPHONE
CORD CAUSES TROUBLE

The most common cause of tele-
phone trouble is the twisted telephone
cord.
Many people have the mistaken idea
that there is but one wire inside the
insulation. As a matter Of fact, the
telephone cord is composed of many
tiny copper wires made up into a
single strand. A strand of small wires
has been found to be much more salts
factory for the transmission of speech
than a single wire would be.
It is a common occurrence for the
telephone cord to become twisted. If
the twists and knarls are not removed
from the cord, the small wires will
eventually break. Each time one of
these wires breaks means that the ef-
fciency of the telephone cord is i'm
paired, and If the time should come
that all of the wires become broken,
then the entire cord would be worth
less and service from that telephone
cut off until the cord would be re-
placed.
The knots and twists should be re-
moved from the cord by untwisting.
Jerking and pulling to ~straighten the
cord oftentimes causes loose connec
tons, and that puts your telephone
u of service until a repairman can
come out and repair the damage.
