this fact by supervisory signals.
When the signals are dark they tell
the operator the receivers are off the
hook, and when lighted the receivers
are on the hook and how important
it is to work his receiver hook up and
down slowly when flashing for the
operator.
1t also explains just what happens
when the operator reports to you that
the line is busy, how you are cut off
and why. Another very annoying
feature is when you are called to the
telephone and the operator asks you
to excuse the call. A frequent cause
for wrong numbers is due to placing
too much confidence on our memory,
In general the demonstration ex-
plains the ease with which you re-
ceive the service.
1t may be interesting to know that

HolU Much Should A Man

(From New York American)

(From New York American)
In the solemn atmosphere of Judge
Edgar A. Jones' court the other day,
n a little suit by mems furnishing
shop, some strange and unexpected
things were developed which are of
national interest.
Joseph Letter, the picturesque Chi
cago and Washington multi-million-
aire, declared that he had so many
pairs of $12 silk socks that he really
had no idea how many he owned. Mr..
Letter astonished the court by nom
chalantly remarking that he always
changed his socks twice a day, and
the manager Of the haberdashery firm
still further surprised Judge Jones
by revealing the fact that $500 pair
was not an unusual price for women
to pay for silk stockings.
