Be prompt in advising when you do not get your paper and we will act promptly. , IMPROVED POSTAL SERVICE The Postoffice department has- selected the week beginning May 1 for what it has called "Postal Improvement Week." The purpose of this campaign is to educate the public in the better preparation of matter for mailing, in order that losses and delays rsay be avoided. There are two things which all writers of letters should observe the accuracy in addressing and the placing of their own name and address on the left-hand corner of the envelppe. Twenfy million letters go to the dead-letter office each year because of neglect in this respect. Postal employes are not infallible, but the system under which the postal service is handled has reached such a degree of efficiency that the greater percentage of failures to deliver mail, or have it returned to the sender, rests upon patrons of the postoffices. There are so many changes, in the addresses of a large percentage of persons that letters and other mail matter are returned to the receiving office as undelivered. The writer who places name and address on the envelope or package mailed will have it returned to him, and he will know that the carriers have been unable to deliver it. Another thing in which the postoffice department has been trying to educate the public is in the matter of early mailing, especially in the case of concerns which handle many letters during the day. lst hour rushes to get mail into the postoffices always results in congestion and the greater liability of error in handling. The postoffice department is a great- business institution, in which the public is a partner, and it is for the people to say how efficient this business shall become in serving them. HAYS' STAND WINS APPROVAL. The chorus of approval from press and public is confirmation that in barring "Fatty" Arbuckle from the films. Will H. Hays acted wisely and in accord with popular opinion. It is an indication also that the movie nterests has abandoned defintely the methods of former (Jays,

which would have exploited Arbuckle's notoriety for the benefit of the box office. Men may argue that a man's habits and his art are distinct entities, that Oscar Wilde's verse is not tainted by his personal life, that Lord Byron's pen neutralized his personal conduct, but the analogy is not apt. A screen actor appears in another way before the public. It is not a case of keeping a man down when he is down. He is down because of his own actions and the justification of the contract cancellation is to keep the film public up. There has been too much of Fattyism in the studios and, unfortunately, it has created a generally false impression of the film world and its people and obscured the very sincere efforts which many producers and actors are making to advance the art and elevate the standards of moving-picture plays. Members of the relatively small but conspicious set which has brought a cloud over the films ought to be disa ciplined and made permanently aware of their responsibilities to the public and to their profession. What Judge Landis was required to do for organized baseball, Mr. Hays is doing for the films. Here, therefore, the country finds itself compelled to applaud a return to rule by dictators. The baseball clubs found a czar necessary, to their salvation and so did the moving-picture interests. Aside from this particular case it is safe to say that the former postmaster general will bring a lot of common sense as well as decency to play in his new position and that while he is on the job moving picture scandals will be conspicious by their rarity. i

MUSICAL PULLMANS The plan of the Pullman company to place singing porters on sleeping cars, to be available for excursion parties, etc., marks a long step in the progress of the human race. Why the capabilities of the porters in a musical line were not utilized before, this time is one of the mysteries of Pullmanism. The rich basso of "George" has been confined heretofore to the message. "Time to wake up," while the bird-like tenor of his colleague, "Steve," was only heard late at night, announcing that "No. 71 done had a accident, but only two white men was .lost." Now, with the real gifts of the porters developed to the proper pitch, the public may be expected to overlook the condition of the washroom while hanging entranced upon the strains of "Swannee River," sung to the accompaniment of shrieking brakes and a gust of cinders. Music hath charms to soothe the savage passenger. It's a wonder, some say, that the Pullman management never thought of this before.

THE son of the farmer who used to drive up on horseback just in time to pay the mortgagesends word now to the old gentleman to back out the limousine and come down to the city to get him.

THE things a man tells you for your own good are usually for his betterment.

Cost Behind "Number, Please?" Number 4 in a series of statements by the v Illinois Bell Telephone Company

What happens when you lift the receiver from the hook on your telephone? x An Operator says: "Number, please?" and right then and there a vast telephone system stands at your service, ready to give you 'prompt, satisfactory communication with any one of 5,858 other telephone stations in Hammond. Telephone operators are vital factors in a telephone system. Their salaries constitute 27 of all our expense.

You, as a subscriber, deal with but one operator at one time. If you think about the subject at all, you think of ONE operator. Yet, the Illinois Bell Telephone Company employs 68 telephone operators in Hammond. We paid these operators in 1921 almost $55,000.00. These operators must all be trained before they can fill a position at a switchboard. Reg-, ular courses of instruction have been established and are in constant operation. Before being accepted for instruction, each applicant must pass certain health and educational tests. Conservatively estimated,, it costs us $75.00 to

prepare an applicant to go to work. She is paid a salary while she is going to school. The working day for each operator is eight hours. At the cnd of each two hours everv

fDcrator has a rest period of

fifteen minutes. In each of our exchange buildings we have .fully equipped rest rooms and retiring rooms. Our operators, as well as other employes, are protected by special funds in case of sickness, accident or death. A system of pensions is maintained for them this fund being also provided by the company.

Here are a few more of things you don't see when you take down your receiver and one operator says: "Number, please?" Yet we know that every item of expense suggested above contributes to the efficiency of the operators, and, therefore, promotes good service. Many seemingly irrelevant things contribute to good telephone service. And service such as we furnish runs to an astonishing cost. Have you ever figured what telephone service is actually worth to you or have you ever wondered how such a service could possibly be furnished at

the price you are paying? Illinois Bell Telephone Co.
