DAUGHTER AT THE PHONE
indianapolis News.l


In every home where there is
a daughter and telephone. the
two are often brought together.
The telephone rings early and
late, and there comes a day when
the young men begin to call. and
then follows something like this:
Girl-Hello.
Boy-Hello, is that you?
Girl-Yes, who is this?
Boy-Don't you know?
Girl--No, who is it?
Boy-Weil. suppose you guess.
Girl know; it's Stubby.
Boy-Bum guess; try again.
Girl-Well. it sounds like
Stubby's voice. Who are you any
way?
Boy-Don't you know?
Girl-No, said | didn't know;
go on and tell who you are.
Boy-Guess again.
Girl-It must be George, but it
doesn't sound a whole lot like
Georges voice. either.
Boy-No. you haven't come
near it yet.
Girl-Oh. well. go on and tell
me.
Boy-Don't you really know
who it is?
Girl-Certainly ! don't. Didn't
| say / didn't?
Boy-Surely you know my
voice.
Girl-Have you got a cold or
something?
Boy-No, same old natural
voice. It's funny you can't recog-
nize it. You've heard it often
enough.
Griffin sure know now; it's
Rusty.
Boy-No, you're still wrong.
And so on for Is or 20 minutes.
There is general opposition to
higher telephone rates, but if
rates were prohibitive for CONVEX
sations of this character the par
ents would not raise any objec-
tions.

Two PARKING Pointers

Store show windows can be of
great assistance when making" or
leaving a parking space. If you'll
look in the glass at your right you
will be able to see the space be-
tween the back of your car and the
machine in back of it just as you
would were you standing on the
sidewalk. This obviates the neces-
sity of asking passengers in the car
whether You have room to back a
little further. or Of taking a chance
If you are alone. Try it the next
time You are driving downtown.
If the gears are to be used to hold
, the car when parking always set
the emergency brake too. When the
gears are left in second or reverse
the driver frequently forgets to shift
to neutral before cranking. This
may mean forward lurch when the
starter is used. with unpleasant pos
sibilities. IL the emergency brake
is set the starter will not be able to
move the car. In releasing the
emergency the driver is much more
likely to shift to neutral.
