When you come home late for
dinner or leave your pipe in the
parlor or commit some othe
deadly sin she may do a lot of
thinking, but she wont say
very much, and yon will have the
laugh on all the other husbands
of girls who are not properly
trained.
“Yon see, e telephone girl
learns first and foremost to let
other persons do the talking. If
she didn’t the company would
lose most of its subscribers
inside of a month. She sits
for hours at a time in front of
board covered with lights and
switches and plugs and adminis-
ters constantly to the wants of
a lot of folks who are absolutely
itching for trouble.
“Did you ever hear a woman,
for instance, get busy at the
phone? First she calls a number,
usually in voice that defies any
combination of electricity and
wires to transmit. Sometimes
she gives the right number. Not
always. It proves to be busy.
‘Call me, Central,” says the
lady at the phone. Then she
goes away, sits down in a chair
and fusses. In a minute she is
back at the wire agaiu.
‘That number still busy” she
says.
She doesn’t say what cumber.
Central has been working both
hands and everything inside of
her dead meantime, but the lady
doesn’t care. Central ought to
have remembered the number. '
* What number?” she snorts.
What number? Why I just told
you the number a minute ago.
As a matter of fact aha h»H fa*-
gotten herself. However, she
finds it again and is again in-
formed that it is busy.
‘ ‘Well, hurry the^n np,’ she
says.
‘Just like that. What do you
suppose would happen to Cen-
tral if she harried them up?
How would the lady like to be
hurried up? But Central says
she will do her best.
“ ‘Wretched service!’ remarks
the lady as she site down. In a
minute more she is up again.
“ ‘Central,’ she fusses, ‘can’t
you get me that number? I’ve
been for the last half honr try-
ing to get it. Yes, of course
that’s the number. So busy talk-
ing to the girl next her that she
doesn’t pay any attention. I
know perfectly well that there
is no reason on earth why I can’t
have that number. It’s just pure
perversity. What’s that? Busy?
Oh, that perfect nonsense
told me that before. It is? Well,
you give me the manager.’
’Central does not answer her
back, which spolla half the fun,
and almost before she knows it
she is connected with the mana-
ger, who is put there to meet
just such complaints. He inves-
tigates and finds that the num-
ber is still busy. He tells the

nity of saying whether they want
state-wide prohibition or wheth-
er they don’t want it. They will
have the opportunity of saying
whether or not the present local
option laws perfected, with the
negative of this proposition be-
ing understood.
The state Democratic execu-
tive committee wrestled with this
proposition for hours and hours
today The morning session was
calm and peaceful. But it was
just the sort of calm that fore-
boded the fast coming storm.
When the storm did come it was
a flood of oratory. It was crest-
ed with adroit moves and as the
language rolled outward there
were hopes shattered and new
ones born. From a little after 2
o'clock until 7:55 the committee
listened, maneuvered and acted.
Then an adjournment was forced
because it was suggested that
there was not a quorum of the
committee present.
The fight that was born yes-
terday was bora fall grown. -It
will be * giant fight if the pre-
liminary straggle counts for any
thing. The result of careful prep-
aration Was displayed in the ad-
dresses made. Those who were
there, advocating or opposing
the .measures showed they were
chock foil of vim and were wil-
ling to unchock it just as quick-
ly as they could get the oppor-
tunity.

very nicely and furnished every
.opportunity that was asked with-
in reason.
