The debate wae decided in lavor of the affirmative. Telephone Usiijce. BY ANGUS IIIBBARD. (Oen'l. Manager Chicago Telephone Company) The man whoknows how to use a telephone properly 18 comparatively a rare personage, and the observance ot a few simple rules and suggestions In relation to telephone usage would accomplish, for a busy man, a great economy In money, time and vital enegy. The telephone has done more to lay bare a latent strain of belligerency In all mankind than any other feature of modern experience; and this element offers the greatest obstacle known to the universal succes of telephone operation. But this attitude is not the only abnormal development attending the act ol telephoning. A man refuses to recognize plain physical conditions that would be apparent to a child in the primary grades. What man of affairs would willlugly give audience to a caller who turned his back to his host and directing bis voice in a direction away from him? Yet the majority of business men keep their faces afoot away from the telephone and turned, away from the instrument. To expect satisfactory results under such conditions is preposterous. The lips should not be an Inch away from the rim of the transmitter, and the voice should beat square ly upon the drum to which the little "sound hopper' leads. Give a telephone Instrument i) ' imnnrA phHnf?/?MnnH If will fin ifn Hntv nn. less radically deranged or defective. This, however, It* not the main difficulty. It is only the symptoms of the disease. Lade of mental focus Is the real trouble, both In talking and hearing?or. In telephone parlace, transmitting and receiving, if your thought is not concentrated on the transmission of your message you will not make yourself beard or bear what Is said to you. This Is where a failure to realize that you are holding actual conversation is apparent. No person understands this phase of tele phonic trouble better than the operator of long-distance lines, where conversations are important and comparittvely expensive, and time is limited. Ae knows that, In case the two on the line do not readily bear each other he must make each realize he Is not talking into u bole In the end ol an iron arm. In a face to face talk no man of ordinary judgment will speak In a mumble, a growl, a whisper or a sbout. A calm, even voice and a distinct but natural enunciation are the chief considerations, aside from those already mentioned. Many a man who holds a telephone receiver so carelessly that Its rim barely touches his ear, wonders why be does not hear. I have seeu bald headed men clap the receiver against his pate and expect to hear when the Instrument did not touch his ear at all. Reasonable results in telephonic communication can not be expected unless the receiver Is held firmly against the ear.?American Telephone Journal. I,. T. cV T. JI. Miller*!* I.ochIm.
