is Polite,

Says Telephone Girl

Richmond may have a meeting of the long distance operators of Independent companies of Indiana in the near future after the Winchester meeting. The series of meetings for chief operators, the second of which was held at Indianapolis Wednesday and Thursday is of unusual value to operators, according to Miss Stella McGreevy head operator for the Richmond Home Telephone company. The Richmond telephone operators will be encouraged to attend the Winchester meeting which will be held November 27. Among the questions taken up is the chief operator's conception of the perfect telephone girl. "Infinite patience," said Miss McGreevy after returning from the convention, "Is of course, the prime asset. Efficiency, good health, interest, good

penmanship. Intelligence, general qualifications such as being able to discriminate well, are necessities in the best type of operator. Local Patrons Courteous. "In Richmond we do not have the troubles that the operators have In other cities. I think the Richmond patrons are fine in their consideration of the operators. This seems to be such a refined city. We seldom are sworn at as they are in some cities, especially the larger exchanges. "Still we can always expect a certain amount of discourtesy from the patrons. Perhaps the operator is handling six or seven calls and each person thinks he is the only one calling. Of course he becomes angry because she cannot stop to explain to him. We learn to be patient in such cases. It is necessary often to transact the business over the wire in a

hurry but the operators are expected to get all their information on one call." The value of the convention, Miss McGreevy says, it to prevent the exchanges from getting into a settled routine of operating. The meetings are equal to a lecture course in laying stress on the little points of importance in the business which are forgotten or overlooked, she says.

ROADS COMMISSION ASKS JONES STAFF Highway Superintendent Jones has been asked to bring his corps of assistants with him to the bearing of the state highway commission which will be held at Rushville Monday.

Tremendous Expense Of Balkan War Places Crown Jewels on Market

' Th Balkan states, with their war

funds nt the minimum Ih'i-huso of hostilities which preceded the present Europciin disturbance, have been sorely pressed for revenue. Eltwich-Hald-

anandt in particular has faced a severe

icrisis, as recent taxes have yielded littie and numerous riots have threatened ntenial troubles at a time when harmony is essential in repulsing neighboring enemies. It appears that an tinkind fate lias overtaken every effort of the kinc of KHwich-Haldmandt to raise funds. The marriage which he planned between his daughter, the Princess Zavia. and Prince Saoholdt iras thwarted by the prince's refusal to enter n political alliance. ln desperation the princess volunteered to aecretly dispose of the crown jewels, representing approximately one million dollars. On the steamship a thief, known as Von Block, learned of the princess's jplsston, and only by a daring stratagem wns she able to land with the fewels intact. Von Block kept on Zavias trail, and by arranging an acciient to her taxlcab he boldly made oft irith the royal gems. Fearing she irould disclose her identity by informing the police, the princess In her extremity turned to a comparative stranger for assistance. The stranger, by the Tray, wns none other than Prince Bacholdt, who had fled from his country Incognito. How the prince recovers the gems and changes his mind regarding matrimony will be found in the Kalem Company's novel two part Bra ma, "The Theft of the Crown Jewels." In this production Miss Alice Joyce, as Princess Zavia, actually irears Jewelry valued nt $1,000,000, the

gems having been loaned by a prominent New York jeweler. The $3,000 gown which Miss Joyce wears was made by the celebrated modiste, I,ady lufl Etordon.
