What is a directory?
The dictionary says, "An alphabet
ical or classified list, as of the names
and addresses of the inhabitants or
business-houses of a city"
The telephone directory is general
ly made up of two main sections, the
alphabetical and the classified section
The alphabetical section is found in all
telephone directories and contains
complete list of telephone subscribers
in the area served by the directory,
making it possible for those knowing
the name of a particular individual or
firm, with whom they desire to talk
to locate the telephone number. This
section renders a very definite part Of
telephone service.
Many of the telephone directories
contain classified sections in some
form. These sections contain lists Of
business subscribers, arranged in sep
arate alphabets under classified bust
ness headings, making 1t possible for
those knowing the line of business Of
particular individuals or firms to
locate the telephone number, or to
determine the individuals or firms
name in a particular line of business.
The classified section rendered very
definite business service as a buying
guide.
While the directory is very neces-
sary part of telephone service, the
public generally does not understand
the immense amount of work that is
necessary to compile the directories Of
the telephone companies of the coun-
try. There are many features to be
considered in making up this almost
universally read book, whose quality
requirements are accuracy, legibility
and durability.
Accuracy in telephone directories Is
of prime Importance, not only in par
ticular listings as to correctness. but
also as whole with respect to the
inclusion and exclusion of listings. 1t
is said that the average listing change
yearly in this country is about so per
cent. the volume of this work can
better be appreciated when it is
realized that this represents the hand
ling of approximately 100000 listing
changes annually in the telephone
directories of the Bell system.

TOURISTS HIT HARD.
Their Taxes Go Up as French
Franc Goes Down.

PARIS, May 20 R.-French tour
ists' taxes go up as fast as the franc
goes down. The Touring Club Of
France and kindred associations are
now demanding that the so-called 80
journ tax" levied on visitors to water
ing places, climatic resorts, spas and
famous tourist centers, be raised from
a maximum of francs to francs
per day to balance the lower purchas-
ing power Of the franc.
Hotel keepers are responsible for
the collection Of this tax. which is
added to the tourists bill, and the
revenue derived from 1t is spent in
improving and rendering more acces-
sible the different tourists centers.
The tax, graded on a scale corre-
spending to the class Of hotel patron
ized by the tourists, brought in 20. .000.-
900 francs last year. against 100000
in 1922.
