The chances are that the distant party is directing his conversation away from rather than into the telephone. The rubber mouthpiece on the telephone transmitter is designed to concentrate the sound waves when you speak directly into it. If you merely talk at your telephone, holding the transmitter to one side or several inches away from your lips, the mouthpiece cannot helr you, Rubber contraptions which are sometimes sold by peddlers do not improve transmission. They are more likely to impair it, as the telephone instrumect has been developed into its present form after ye trs of painstaking, scientific study by expert engineers. If the person you are talking with complains that he cannot hear you, try talking into the transtnitter as suggested. jJ Mr. and Mrs. Grant Ke ehn (the la tter formerly Miss ).[arjoric Burchard ). of t\ C\\' York are in KenihYorth with their small daughters, a. s guests of ~fr . and Mrs .
