worked With Greetings To
Kin OF Aliens.

When the immigrants arrive at Ellis
Island, many of them have their first
experience with the telephone which
plays an important part In informing
relatives and friends of the new
world arrivals.
Placarded with pink and white
tickets, denotlng the railroad line they
are bound for, oozing strangely shaped
bundles all over their persons, with
few small, meek-faced children
trudging alongside, the typical immi-
grant family, having successfully pass
ed their examination, enters the wait
ing room ready for the fateful mo-
ment of their departure into the new
world proper. Some of them have
never seen a telephone before. 9th
ers have rarely used them, but are
as eager as children to try. A tele-
waiting room for many years is the
very first to acquaint hundreds of
thousands Of immigrants with the
service of the nationwide Bell System.
Sometimes those who speak no Eng
fish at all may enlist the aid OF one

little English, not well, but loud, as
he telephone operators who handle
heir calls can testify. Most Of them
ave no idea of geography or dis
ance.
Long distance calls, as might be ex

FOR, in addition to the calls sent by thu
immigrants, the officials of the IslanC

Telephone Operating
Trains Ear Memory

Telephone operating trains the
memory of the ear. The high quality
of intelligence which is sought by the
telephone company in employing oper-
ators is, however, capable of develop
ing so accurate and retentive an ear
memory as to be simply phenomenal.
This is illustrated by the instance of
Washington telephone operator
who had been with the local tee-
phone company almost from the
beginning. In the early SOS. when
she first Joined the ranks, she worked
under the direction Of Warren Choate,
who died last March at the age of 81.
II was not very long after the oper-
ator was employed that Mr. Choate
severed his connection with the tele.
phone company to go into other bust.
ness. She had not seen him or heard
from him for many years, and when
a short time before he died Mr.. Choate
had occasion to call her up on the
telephone. She did not expect the
call and had not heard the voice for
So years. Yet she instantly recog-
mixed 1t and greeted her early en-
ployer by name.

Women Who Glue Rest
Always Sought After

Discussing half dozen women
friends few days ago, guests at
little dinner party were surprised to
discover the popularity of a woman
whom none had believed 10 have an
original personality.
Pleasant, Kind, lively, interesting
she undoubtedly is, but it was man
who explained the attraction when
makes her companionship desired by
all her friends.
"She gives rest" he said. And
rest is the greatest gift a woman has
to give. No one in Helen's presence
can long be conscious Of life's enor-
nous disarrays; she heals. Her very
presence is harmonious, she gives a
sense of serenity to the restless. That
is why everyone loves her"
Very few women are able to bestow
the gift of peace on those whom they
meet in daily life. says the London
Mail.
No woman whose mind is restless,
who has not accepted with gracious
ness the reconclllations between the
ideal and the real, has power to give
rest
For this power does not come from
anything as superficial as the pose of
languld ease, nor does it belong to the
quiet woman who so often is also the
dull woman.
Only the woman whose mind has
found rest through discipline, through
courage through strength, can heal
the wounds of the disturbed soul.
Women who have this power give to
their friends the assurance Of security.
Very many women who delight today
displease tomorrow. One is unable
to depend on their stability. But the
woman who gives rest does not change
her attitude or her convictions or her
moral standards; she is no romanti-
clst, but because she is in tune with
life and her own setting she creates
harmony around her.

Habits of Migration
Forced on Bird Life

Ages ago the United States and
Canada swarmed with nonmigrating
bird life, long before the arctic ice
fields, advancing south during the
glacial era, rendered uninhabitable
the northern half of the continent.
AS the ice approached very gradual
ly, now and then receding, enforced
retreats and absences-at first only
a short distance and brief tlme-in-
creased both in distance and duration
until migration became an integral
part Of the being of the bird.
AS the ice advanced southwark the
swing 70 the north in spring migra-
zion was continually shortened and
the fall retreat to a suitable winter
home heightened in proportion until
the glacial period birds were, for
most part, confined to middle South
America.
But the habit of migration had been
formed, and when the ice receded to-
ward its present position the birds fol
lowed 1t northward and in time estab-
lished their present diversified migra-
ton rOutes.-Exchange.

Long Distance Line Now
Links Bombay And Delhi

Delhi, the capital of the Indian EN-
pire, is now connected by long dis
lance telephone lines with the great
commercial port of Bombay. The ad-
vantageous position of Bombay on the
west coast of India makes 1t the
nearest Indian port to Europe. 1t is,
indeed, formidable rival to Calcutta
as a grateway for Indian foreign trade,
and its commercial importance makes
1t the logical terminus for the long
distance telephone line to Delhi.
The present ambitious plans of the
Indian Government for the construc-
ton of long-distance telephone lines
contemplate circuit between Bonn
bay and Calcutta. to be completed by
the end of 1924, with additional con
nections ultimately between Delhi and
Calcutta, and between Calcutta aud
Madras. British india has at present,
however, only about as many tele-
phones as Atlanta Ga. In fact. the
great Indian Empire boasts but one
telephone for every 10000 inhabitants.

Would Be a Handicap

81 cannot marry you'-that was the
burden of the young girls reply to the
old millionaire.
Many, many times he had asked her
to reconsider her decision, but in the
end he despairlngly realized that she
could never be his. Almost angrily
he upbraided her:
Even Cupid" he said could do
nothing with you. You're like an ice
berg. Why, a hundred Cupids might
shoot you all day long, but not one ar
row would make any impression on
your stone cold heart"
She thought for a moment, then:
mot If they used an old beau" she
replied cuttingly.

Most people who visit New York
and ride in the subway trains are
unaware of the fact that telephone
lines adjoin the tracks over which
they are riding. In the old days the
telephone trunk lines between the
central Offices In Brooklyn and Man
haitian Island were strung along the
Brooklyn Bridge. Later, submarine
cables were laid. In recent years,
however, additions to the plant have
been made in ducts built specially
for the purpose in the subway tunnels
under the East River.
The new Fourteenth street tunnel
under the East River was recently
opened for transit, but three years
ago, prior to the time when any rails
had been laid, four complete telephone

cables were installed and were soon
in actual service
A 5-ton motor truck was lowered
down the shaft Of the Brooklyn end
of the tube to the concrete floor or
track base of the tunnel, 100 feet be-
low the street surface, into a space
measuring "a feet by feet 8 inches,
the truck itself being % feet inches
by feet 4 inches. 1t could not be
turned around and, in laying the reels,
had to make the trip In reverse. AS
each reel was emptied of its cable,
it was necessary to roll the empty
reel ahead of the truck to clear the
roadway in the tunnel The complete
installation of 1876 feet of cable was
made in five hours and 81 minutes.
