Each Ten " f ^ During May Rush PraMsnt Sunny of Hllnals 1 Here is something which- has more moves to it than a game of checkers or chess. During the month of April the Chicago organization of the Illinois Bell Telephone Company moved 27,100 telephones. Two-thirds of these moves were completed in the last fifteen days of the month. In the first half of May 40,700 orders were completed. This means that in the month of April, in the Chicago district, the Telephone Company installed, moved, or took out four telephones a minute; one every fifteen seconds. During tfye first half of May, this rate was raised to the almost incredible speed of completing an order for telephone service every ten seconds, nine hours a day. B. E. Sunny, President of the Illinois Bell Telephone Company, included the above in a talk before the Electric Club of Chicago. Mr. Sunny went into all phases of the telephone industry. Part of "what he said follows: "Telephone service necessarily depends upon co-ordination, co-operation and the highest type of team work, not only by the telephone employes but the subscribers and their employees. There are other lines of business, _ of course, where these factors are important, but I doubt if as much so as with the telephone. "If you have an electric light on • your table, it does not impair its value to you if no one else has one. If you nave gas in the kitchen range to cook your breakfast, it does not affect you if no one else has it. "If, however, you have a telephone, it is of no use to you whatever unless your neighbors are similarly equipped and its value to you depends upon the Telephone Company's employees and the list of people with whom you can talk. 'T'hat part of the telephone service in which the layman has the largest interest is with relation to the traffic. He is in contact with • the telephone operators at his office and at his home, and he has more or less curiosity to know how the business is conducted. "In Chicago, in 1920, we required about 8,000 operators and we were short of that number throughout the year from 600 to 1,500. We lost the equivalent of 6,800 operators through resignation and dismissals during the year. This does not mean that 6,800 operators that we started with at the first of the year out of the 8,000 dropped out of the service. About 4,900 or 60 per cent, remained throughout the year, and the losses were largely of operators who remained only one or two months. "To fill the vacancies, we employed and trained 4,250 operators, ana we re-employed 3,550 ex-operators who needed little or no training. There were 1,150 additional applicants who passed the examination and started in the school, but who were dropped or who resigned before finishing the training course. "We are required by circumstances to be a very exacting employer, but at the same time it is our constant purpose to be a very square employer. "In April there were 67,700,000 local calls, and our observations indicated that 96% were answered within ten seconds and 96% of the connections that could be completed were completed without error. Ten million calls failed because of the busy signal; seventy-five per cent are party lines, etc.; on six million calls the second party did not answer or the call was abandoned by the first party before the second party did answer." Mr. Sunny went into detail to explain the handling of long-distance telephone calls, telling of many new devices and methods which have been perfected to reduce the delay in completing longdistance connections and improving transmission.

Ethel Grey Terry Charles Munson Walter McGrail Richard Fletcher Emmet C. King The Fletcher mansion, in the heart of the extremely fashionable and highly mortgaged section of Long Island, houses motherless Irene Fletcher, from earliest childhood a victim of the habit of pretty things and her father, who has reached the and «f Iris resources. She has two suitors. One, John Marshall, a struggling architect, and the other, Charles Munson, a wealthy designer of women's clothes. Her intimate girl friend is Mary Chartres, who has found her world a very nice place to live in, with a rich aunt to settle the bills. Her father tells her of his impending failure and begs her to stop her charge accounts. Instead of extending sympathy she reproaches him. Dashing from his presence she trips on the stairs and while unconscious is carried to her room, where she dreams the following things happened, and they are shown as actually happening. The audience is not taken into confidence until her awakening. First she dreams that Marshal has married her and while at the wedding breakfast her father commits suicide in the next room, having been refused promised financial assistance from Munson. Marshall and his bride go to Marshall's old homestead, an unprei tentious cottage, where she ia forced to do without the luxuries to which she had been accustomed. Marshall goes to Washington on business and is rdn over and suffers lapse of memory. The authorities are unable to communicate with his wife qecause they cannot find out who he is. Munson appears at the cottage and promises to find her husband. He goes to Washington and recognizes Marshall, but pretends not to know him. Munson then induces Irene to visit New York and open a charge account, falsely assuring her that there will be sufficient left from her father's estate to pay the bills. Wonderful creatiohs are shown her. Munson invites Irene to • dinner to ply Irene with wine. Gasping her in his arms she struggles and her dress is torn from her ihoddn. At that moment her husband breaks down the door and kills MI Marshall has recovered his and followed his wife thru a note Munson wrote her, which she left behind. Just at this tense moment as the police arrest Munson, Irene awakens from her dreams and finds her father and both Marshall and Munson bending over her. Confusing the events of the dream with real life die calls Munson a villain and Marshall her husband. Theit she awakens fully and consents to wed Marshall.
