CENTRAL WORKING HARD FOR PUBLIC 'Girls Who Take Care of 'Phone Swttelv boards Are Human and Appre ciate That Sort of Treatment. PEOPLE CAN HELP HER If They Will Remember to Treat Her With Same Courtesy Witn Which She Treats Them. Did you ever stop to think that the owner of the voice which inquires "Number please" every time ywu take down the receiver of your tele phone belongs to a human being like yourself, who is working in a public utilities company for your benefit, and giving the' best services she knows how? Perhaps if you did, you would not say such impatient things to her. It's all right to do a lot of thinking It central is a little slow in answering your call, but don't snap the girl's head off when she does answer. Per haps there have been a half hundred other "crafts" telling her the same thing, and yet she has to put the_ smile in her voice, and tne same' St. Peter's Catholic church. Rev. J. W.

Right along in this" line is an In teresting little story from the New York Sun regarding a gift made by a-Philadelphia'broker to the 'phone girls of vis hotel at Thanksgiving time: A Philadelphia broker, who spends tnuoh of his time at a, noted New York hotel made a Thanksgiving present of $250 to the telephone girls of his favorite caravansary, to testify to his gratitude for the prompt and efficient service they had rendered to him in his activities as a victim of the hello habit.' That the generous Philadelphian intended by this gift to cast any re I flection upon the telephone service of his home city is not probable. But whether he did or not, the inclina tion to which he so nobly succumb?!! is a timely lesson to many Impatient New Yorkers who hold the alert, hard working, patient and long suf fering hello girls responsible at the phone for their own shortcomings. The hurried and tired business man, frequently lacking in imagination, finds it diffluclt to put himself in the overstrained operator's place, t? make allowances in her favor for the de lays and annoyances that try his temper \p the breaking point. He might be more patient, more just, more self-restrained if he had had at some, unhappy time in- his life the trying experience of running a switchboard himself. We congratulate the above njen tioned Philadelphian not merely up on the benevolence of his' make-up, but upon his possession of a keen sense of justice. His Thanksgiving present to his hello girls'may, through the publicity it has attained, exert an enlightening and softening effeot up on countless telephone users who are in the habit of censuring "central" when the fault of which they complain lies with themselves.
