Such is by no means the case. It is very easy to make any kind of a long distance call. To make a station-to-station call, you merely call "long distance' and when the operator answers vou tell her the number of the distant telephone. If you do not know the number, give the name and address under which the telephone is listed. The charge begins when the called telephone answers. To make a person-to-person call, you tell the long distance operator the name and telephone number or address of the person to whom you wish to talk. The charge begins when communication is established with that person. If you wish to know the rates or any other in- formation, the long distance operator will help you. [~ "Earnings must be sufficient to assure the best possible | telephone service at all times and to assure the continued financial integrity of the business. . . . Earnings in excess of these requirements must either be spent for the enlargement and improvement of the service furnished or the rates charged for the service must be reduced." --From an address by Walter S. Gifford, President, American Telephone Rd Relegraph Company, to National Association of irons) A and Utilities Commissioners.

Mr. and Mrs. Barnum left last Monday evening for their Christ- mas Tree cabins at Land O'Lakes, Wis., where it is hoped that the quiet and invigorating air will help Mrs. Barnum to recuperate. A party of friends from St. Louis, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Withrow and Mr. and Mrs. Robert Denyven, came through Chi- cago several weeks ago and stopped to get "Billy" Barnum and then went on up to the Barnum's lodge so that everything might be in readiness for their arrival.

Miss Elizabeth Schwartz is leav- ing next Friday to visit a sorority sis- ter at Rochester, Minn. and her broth- er, Charles Clifford, will leave the same day to visit at Land O" Lakes, Wis.
