goes on all day over the telephone, and yet
poor central must keep her peace to keep her
job
Did you ever call up the wrong number ard
hang up the receiver before the party on the
other end replied? OF course, you have-many
times; and then the other party proceeded to
give central scolding for your mistake. In
deed as an outsider, the writer can plainly
see that the public is responsible at least for
80 per cent of the errors attributed to the girls
at the switchboard
How frequently have all of us, at some time
or other, listened, attentvely to some particular
speaker with bad enunciation, trying to find
out what he was talking about, or paid the
Strictest attention to some singer on the con-
cert stage or over the radio in order to catch
the words of the song, which, though in Eng
lish sounded as much like French, Italian or
Greek as anything else and yet We expect cen-
trail to catch us the first time just because we
happen to know what We want to say, when the
poor operator may not have the slightest Idea
Has the public kept pace with the telephone?
Perhaps not. And does the public appreciate
the great improvements made in the telephone
since it was first exhibited at the Centennial
Exhibition at Philadelphia? Apparently not
The writer's experience with the telephone
dates back to 1833 when to his knowledge, a
certain Government building had its own
switchboard, and it was perfectly permissible
for the employees if they desred-and they
frequently had that inclnation-to call up the
cafe within the building and order sent to their
room all the lager beer and fried oysters they
could possibly get away with. But the operation,
though quite advanced at that time. was not
as perfect as we find it today.
There were few, if any, desk phones at that
time and the cumbersome looking phone box
was placed somewhere conveniently on the
side wall of the room or outside the room IN
the hallway. In calling some one, the op-
orators attention was attracted by removing the
receiver, as at present, and giving little crank
on the side of the box several vigorous turns,
which rang little bell and when the con-
versation was over, one ring was given to SO
inform the operator. Similar boxes quite
likely still being used in some rural districts.

During the interrogation of sev- al Chicago Cubs, regarding their Ice track activities, Leslie O'Con- pr, who is Judge Landis' secre- jry, asked a direct question of iogers Hornsby and the reply was teresting.
