POPULAR DELUSION . Once upon a time a disgruntled telephone user, having received th busy-signal several Umes, slammed up the receiver and said: ;
" That operator is giving me the buzzer just to'b line hasn't been in use for an hour."
To confirm rm suspicion he hurried to . his friend's office. The telephone had not been m use-had not even jingled for two hours. It-was enough. The telephone operator was to blame, of course. But just one moment, please. His friend had party line service. Do you see the point? The other patrons were using the Hne ! . . No7 ct's ?n?y?e thc fixation. ' A telephone operator is busy every minute of the eight hours she sits r-he switchboard. She does not loaf sheWks. And her fingers fly wit , dexterity and accuracy that you cannot even understand. When you signal she knows you want a connection If you don t get it the first time you will call again perhaps several times.,- . t w d. yn oppose that girl is doubling, tripling or quadrupling her work just to spite you whom she probably docs not know. The idea is absurd. Whenever you get the busy-signal, someone is using the line. You what are you doing to stop the busy-signal ? It is no more annoying to you than to your friends. Are you' using the old style-four-party line ? Do you realize that you can get a much better service at an additional cost of only one-and-a-fraction cents per day ? ' . Two-party service must be more than twice as efficient as four-partv service because there is only one "other party" on the line with you and on a four-party line there are three others. It affords greater privacy in conversation It is easUy accessible to your friends5 when they wish to call. And best of all it costs less than two (2) cents more per day. You do not know, until you have tried it, how much better is the cirngSg four-party residence service. Many of our patrons are
A single line gives you the best service that it is possible to produce, you want exclusive use of your wire: if vo.i warn- ; W iLj

Mclntyre of Chicago, one of the Sans Soucl polo players, played center for the Harbor team and was by far the individual star of the team.

"Of course, Kling would be a great help to us. I don't know in what shape he would be in after a year's absence. That, of course, remains to be seen. If he is in anywhere near his old form w will be able to use him all rght. I consider him one of the greatest catchers who ever drew breath." Chance has been following the newspaper accounts of Kling's probable return to the game with great interest. He realizes that much will depend-on the fact and will likely stop off at Kansas Citj- to have a visit with the catcher. He would not admit ths fact last night, but his friends in Los Angeles report that this is his intention. The fact that Kling will ask for reinstatement at the hands of the National Commission created a stir here, for the Cubs have as many well-wishers in Los Angeles as anywhere in the country. The fact that Chance lives near here has turned the city into a Cub hotbed. Chance looks to be near playing weight. The open-air life' has agreed with him to a dot and it will take only a few days' work in training camp to put him where he was when the season closed last fall. Chance has it figured out where the Cubs will regain their lost laurels and is eager to get back in harness .again.

Leff el Throws Deciding Goal in Last Few Minutes . of Play.
Crawfordsville. Ind., Jan. 31. The Wabash basket-ball quintet won from the Michigan Aggies Friday night by a score of 23 to 21. .The game was hard fought from start to finish, and with but one minute of play remaining the score was a .iie. Leffel threw the deciding field goal just before the whistle sounded for the end of the game. The Little Giants were unable to hit the basket with their usual skill, many of the shots being wasted. Many of the goals of the visitors were made on long throws. Their offensive work was good, however, and Tount and Stump, the Wabash guards, were frequently outwitted. Leffel, the local forward, was again the star of the contest, his playing over all parts of the floor and his sensational shots at the basket contributing largely to his team's victory. Chamberlain and Harnrich played strong games for the visitors.
