Saying It With Silence an Improvement
On the Customary Telephone Technique

willing to let the "girl at central" hear
all that they say.
This girl at central I have never
seen. But her standard must be high
indeed-so high that the ordinary fam
lily feel that it would do her nothing
but harm to listen to their converse
ton.
To stop the telephone, therefore,
some mechanical device must be
adopted. One method is to plug up
the striker with chunks of paper
(blotting paper preferreO so tightly
that it can't hit the bell. But even
then 1t will succeed in making a mel
ancholy gurgle.
The sound of this gets on ones con-
science. AS you hear it you fancy
that some friend in dire distress is
gurgling to you for help. First thing
you know you tear the wrapping out
only to find that it is an invitation
to afternoon tea, and you are lost.
Another plan Is to draw fine wire
tightly around the striker. But even
so, it is apt to emit from time to time
a faint, pleading tinkle that may break
down even a strong resolution.
On the whole, the best plan is to
take a screwdriver and unscrew the
whole business from the wall, cut the
electric wire and carry the telephone
to the cellar and put it in a storeroom.
And even then it will ring.
There is, however. one remedy for
overtalking at the telephone that is
within reach Of every man-though,
no doubt, women could scarcely use
it. And that is the golden remedy of
silence. Don't say a thing except
when the other person talking ad-
dresses a definite question.
Most people are unaware that in
listening at telephone they keep up
a series of little monosyllable grunts,
"oh's", and "ah's' and "well, well,'
that serve to maintain the mental
connection. Cut these out and you
will see the difference at once. The
man speaking to you is saying: yes
terday l was out at the ball game.
Say! it was a great game. Toronto
beat Syracuse 9 to or
dead silence.)
II say Toronto beat Syracuse to 0.
Hullo, are you there?"
Yes, I am here"
ooh. got home so late or I would
have called you up
dead silence.l
"Hullo, are you there?"
Yes"
At that, he will soon stop talking.
Better still is to apply this method
to answering invitations. AS every
body knows, the most trying of all
telephone conversations are those in
which people hand out sudden invita-
tions. involving arrangements and con-
siderations and revisions and so forth.
Just answer with a plain yes" or
no." without further word Of ex-
PLANTATION and see how 1t kills the evil
at the root. Thus:
ooh, Is that your" Don't answer.)
II was trying to get you a little
while ago"
Ulet it go at that1
Il wanted to see if you would be
free to come over and take dinner
with us tonight"
"No.''

Diamonds From Sugar.

1t can be stated with perfect truth
that a lump of sugar may be turned
into diamonds. Not all the substance
of the sugar, OF course, will enter into
the composition of the gem, but only
the carbon that it contains. Sugar
consists of carbon united with oxygen
and hydrogen.
The carbon can be easily separated
out, and in certain experiments for
the production of diamonds the sugar
carbon has been employed. The dia-
monds so produced were, of course,
very small and destitute of CONNER
cial value, but still they were real dia-
mOnds, and the chemical result
achieved would be no greater intrin-
sically If they were as large as the
KOh-inoOr.
The hope has often been held out
that an improvement in the process
of manufacturing diamonds NAV be
effected whereby the necessity of dis
solving the carbon in molten iron NAV
be dispensed with and the required
combination of great pressure with
great heat may be brought about oy
some such operation as squeezing the
carbon between red-hot metal plates.

the furniture company. that dining
suite has not arrived yet"
whats holding it," l answered.
Its all right; it will be up at your
house in half an hour" And probably
it was.
Similarly: "Hullo. the furniture com
pany, what about making a rather bet
ter price on those chairs.
Answer: Certainly, We'll take off 40
per cent"
I had thus a lasting source of en-
tertainment. until the furniture COM
pany went into liquidation.
1t has always seemed to me a great
mistake that the telephone companies
have cut out the practice of handing
out information over the telephone,
and particularly of telling their sub
scribers what time it is. People are
beginning to forget how easy and
comfortable it was to call: 'Hullo, Cen
trail, what time is it," and a little
later, "Hullo, Central. five minutes
ago you said it was o'clock; what
time is 1t now?"
The girl at central" used to call
people in the morning for the train,
send countless children off to school,
hand out the news as to whether To
ronto beat Syracuse at base ball and
let people know when it was time to
go to bed.
If this article should meet the ear
of director of a telephone company,
l beg him to give us back at least the
time of day, base ball and the question
of where the fire is. and whether the
procession has started.
There is no doubt that, with a con-
slant user of the telephone. much
time is often lost in looking up num-
bers 1t always seems to me that it
is we'll worth while to try to memo
rize as many numbers as possible.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1926-10-31

Various ways have been suggested
for doing this. I remember one admir-
able system that was explained to me
by friend Of mine, a professor OF his
tory. All that one has to do, he told
me, is to connect the telephone num-
Der with the date of some historical
event. This makes an easy mental
connection that is not readily forgot
ten.
For example, you have a friend
whose number, let us say, Is 42S1; you
simply connect it with the death of
Rameses the First, who built the first
pyramid. You have another whose
number Is $40; simplicity itself. the
victory Of Earwig the Saxon, at Sire
oneshalch.
Personally, I don't use this method.
But if I ever have friend whose
telephone number is 1866 or 1892. I'll
talk with him all day.
The telephone brings many pleas
ures, and the chief of them is the rare
luxury of shutting the darned thing
off and not listening to it.
Those who have never had tele-
phone cannot appreciate the quiet en-
ioyment of silencing it and knowing
that one cannot be called. 1t is COM
parable only to the stiffness Of the
deep woods.
But in shutting off the telephone,
it may be remarked, one of the hard
est mechanical feats to perform is to
stop an up-to-date telephone from ring
ing when it wants to. OF course, as
everybody knows, it Is possible to stop
it from ringing by leaving the receiver
off the hook. But then, as everybody
knows. this means that the girl at
central can overhear all that hap
pens in your house. This won't do.
l know of no home so irreproachable,
no family so correct that they are
