NEW YORK BROUGHT NEARER. To Aviator Carlson, who attempted the New York Time;' ten-hour, nonstop flight from Chicago to New York, went the honor of having traveled the fastest through these parts. In a little more than one hundred minutes Mr. Carlson covered a route that led from Illinois, across Indiana and into Ohio. For instance, he went from Gary to Hammond in six minutes our interurbans need an hour; from Gary to Hobart his time was just four minutes one-tenth the time required by an interurbah car. And all along the line he broke records, being in Toledo two hours after he had crossed the IllinoisIndiana state line at Hammond; at Erie, Pa., in four hours, and the time he took to reach New Y'ork state occupied a few minutes longer. Really, with New Y'ork four hours away, this country begins to get small.

SPENDING A FORTUNE. Girard, in the Philadelphia Ledger, Oils how II. C. Frick might have spent the $250,000 better than in buying a picture with it. He says: "For example, this coke king who has turned art fancier could keep 15 girls in college for all time to "come, giving each one $1,000 a year to pay expenses. "Or if he didn't like that he could every year have 540 poor babies drinking clean milk for which he paid. . "Yv'e hear much talk about 'back to the soil.' Frick's picture, if turned into cash and loaned to deserving young men, would enable 230 to start farming. "Or that fund would endow forever 50 hospital beds. "It would build 100 workingmen's homes." Every word of this suggestion is wise. Instead of investing that great sum In a few square feet of canvas and paint, he might have invested it for the betterment of man. It may be said that he had a legal right to spend that $250,000 a3 he saw fit. Very true, but he hadn't the moral right. He got that gre?t sum from humanity and he ought to have returned it, or a large portion of it, to humanity. A man who gets a great fortune from society owes something to society. He has no right to spend it in the service of his vanities. Ohio State 'Journal.

the old West for just a moment. One would think that we were back in the mid '50's after reading these paragraphs from the Chicago Journal: It was not until stage coaches had come from communities tucked away in the Sierras or settlements on the arid eastern slopes of the mountains that the result was known. Ordinarily the few votes cast in these remote districts are considered of little moment, but in this history-making presidential year they were of vital importance. They could not be reached by telephone or telegraph, and the trails and passes leading to them were choked with snow in many places. There was nothing to do but wait for the stages, and ' they began coming in last night. Similar difficulties were encountered in collecting the returns from the wilds of New Mexico and from the far corners of Minnesota. In past campaigns New Mexico's three electoral votes have been considered merely a3 incidental in swelling the majority of the winner, but this year they might have elected a president.

"THE VOICE WITH THE SMILE WINS." ' The New York Telephone company has published the followin

gestions for correct telephone habits: On all out-going calls Always look in the telephone book to make sure you call the right number. If you do not find the number in the book, ask "Information." Call your number with a slight pause between the hundreds and the tens. For example, in calling "Barclay 1263," say "Barclay One Two fpause) Six Three." Speak clearly and distinctly, directly into the transmitter. Listen to the operator'3 repetition of the number and acknowledge it. " Hold the line until your party answers and then give your whole attention to the telephone conversation. "! To recall the operator, move the receiver hook up and Mown " ' ' When you have finished talking, say "Good-bye" and replace the receiver on the hook. ri Remember, courtesy over the telephone is always desirable. It Tins friends for you and your company. On all Incoming calls - Answer your telephone promptly and pleasantly. ''"J Announce your name and the name of your department. Don't fay "Hello." Be ready with pad and pencil In order, not to keep your calW waiting. If you require help in handling the cal properly, get it at once or politely transfer the call to the employe who can best handle it. If you answer for another employe, offer to take the message, then call it to the other's attention at the first opportunity. Listen attentively, so that you will not have to annoy the caller by asking him to 'repeat. Remember, abruptness or indifference drives away trade. Close attention to telephone orders helps win it. Maintain the same courtesy and consideration in a telephone conversation that you would with your customer face to face. THE VOICE WITH THE SMILE WINS !
