These Two Know The Secrets o. Chinatown!

This telephone office is unlike that of any other
in the West. In design and appointments it re-
sembes an ornate Chinese pagoda. Woodwork is
black and red lacquer and only the long strands of
telephone cords lend modern note.
When the rest of the city is darkened and quiet
Chinese friends enjoy conversations which may last
for hours And this happens Mrs. Chin says, be-
cause the Chinese merchants usually sleep during
the morning hours and keep shops open until late
at night Many of the stores do not open up until
around noon
After midnight long telephone talks and orders
for food are the most numerous. Noodles and hot
tea are delivered throughout Chinatown at any
hour of the day night.
This unique Chinese telephone exchange was
founded in 1894 by graduate of the University of
California Loo Kun Shu At that time he also
became editor of the first western Chinese news
paper. the Occidental Daily News.
One experience which Maude Chin has had will
probably never be known to her daughter-the ex-
citement of flashing calls to leaders of the Six
Companies, a benevolent association, during early
tong wars. For peace has descended upon China
town. and sudden violence, Mrs. Chin declares, has
given way to American law and order
