Little Talk About Honesty N THIS little chat we want to talk n,y lu uio man wno tmnks the telephone operator sometimes lies to him when she tmyx uie nne is busy." In tho first place, "Central" is a pretty busy irl. She is not apt to make useless work for herself. In learning: that a line is "busy, "'she porfonns as many operations as she would in completing- a call. It's easier for her to give you the connection you want at once than to put you oft" with tho "busy" report. The telephone operator's roport "tho line is busy does not necessarily mean that the man you want is using the telephone. It may mean that an operator is trying to reach him for someone else who called before you did. If he's on a party line, it may mean that ono of the othor parties is using iho line. "Central" is a much abused girl, but she is nocossary to efficient and dependable telephone service, and she does hor work remarkably well.
