OPERATOR!

Paris-No longer can you hawl out the telephone operators here. The telephone company has perfect ed and installed a device similar to a photograph to reply to busy and wrong number calls, or inform that the line is out of order. At each exchange there are several phono- graphs, each equipped with appro- rriate discs. If a number is busy, the operator merely switches the line to the photograph. which says so. Argument with the record is useless, because it continues repeat ing the line until the receiver is hung up.
