First, that it is much easier and quicker for her to ring the called telephone than to make such a report back to the person calling. Second, that people these days are out and about town on a great variety of uncommon war-rime undertakings, fre-, quently leaving their homes and offices with no one to answer the telephone. - Third, sometimes a minor and temporary disarrangement of the called telephone prevents die Dell from ringing. Be assured that die operators are trying hard to do their part and that their efforts justifies full confidence and consideration. The Delaware & Atlantic Telegraph & Telephone Company C B. Smith.
