TAINTED WHEN PHONE RANG
plonssr Telephone Man Recalls Days
When Women Thought Voice on
Wire Was Supernatural.

The woman radio enthusiast who
thrills with wonder when she succeeds
in picking up concert broadcast from
some distant point probably does not
realize that her sister of a generation
or two ago experienced fully as
marked an emotional upheaval when
she first heard voice over an ordi-
nary telephone.
Sometimes these first experiences
with Bells invention were attended by
results that were almost serious. ac-
cording to w. d. Mckinney. pioneer
telephone man of Columbus. O.. who
entered the business at the bottom, In
the days when boys were employed as
operators.
"Why, when first started to work.
as boy, women used to faint when
they heard voice on the other end
Of the WIRE" Mr.. Kinney declares.
"They thought it was supernatural"
1.-THE exchanges were bedlam," he
says. "Girls were not employed. The
old Bell and Edison companies in the
seventies hired boys, preferably thick
skinned. to handle the calls. At first
there were no numbers and only names
were used in switching the calls from
line to line.
I'VE boys stood In a row along the
switchboard. When call came in, q
boy would yell to another down the
board: Give me Old Man Hawkins
and the calls had to be crossed be-
tween the different parts Of the board"
The first multiple switchboard, the
forerunner of the telephone switch
board of today. was put in service in
1879. Shortly after its appearance.
