ing put to shame this week by
their counterparts in Independ-

the Missouri women say.

ness and Professional Women's
Club. In fact, the pudding leads
the list of the 299 recipes.
When the recipe appeared in the

ried in the newspapers. Soon,
housewives began complaining that
something was wrong-the pud-

port for drills.

charged.
Officers have been told that they
get back the property now in the
hands Of these inactive soldiers

This fell heavily on one officer
recently, whose command showed
40 blankets missing. Called on
the carpet, he was required to
pay several hundred dollars tot
the property.
Under the freeze order issued
recently by the National Guard
Bureau, the District Guard is
limited to 2.083 men, including
1877 commissioned and warrant

build up a waiting list from which
men can be drawn to fill vacan-
cies as they occur within the
strength limits.

in August from her position as
utility clerk for the Ohio Bell
Telephone company.
On her little finger Miss Siler
wears an unusual gold ring set
with three tiny diamonds. 1t is her
45-year service pin presented to
her by the telephone company,
which she had made into a ring,
because she always loses pins"
On one of her otherf myers is
a corn, constant reminder of her
first days on her telephone job in
1902 when she wrote all long dis
lance bills in long hand.
Miss Siler began her career with
the old Central Union Telephone
company, predecessor of the Ohio
Bell, shortly after her graduation
from Steele high school here. She
started in the commercial depart
ment where in addition to her
duties of writing out bills for toll
calls she helped the cashier, kept
books and frequently placed long
distance calls for subscribers.
GIN those days making a long
distance call was an unusual ex-
perience and many customers pre-
ferred toe ONE into the telephone
officer, ask one of the girls to
place the call for them and wait
for the connection to be made"
said Miss Siler.
All of Miss Siler's service has
been in the business office and she
is one of the best known tele-
phone women in Dayton.
