In 1878 Mury Beatrice Kennedy became the first telephono exchange operator in New York city. She's still plugging a switchboard in the College of St., Elizabeth at Convent Station, N. J. Now, if one shouja think human Mature has changed mpch, hark to Mary's memories of old times. Before Mary' took her Job in 1878, "Central" was always a boy. "I got my job," she recalls, "be cause the company was tired of firing its swearing boy operators. Sub scribes used to come down to the telephone office to fight the opera tor who had sworn at them." Phone users don't do that these days, but some of them occasionally weaken'and start figuring how far the trip4 to "Central." In the old days, Mary recalls, peo ple didn't use telephone numbers. Tfoey just cranked- at the box, took uowTi THi receiver and ??V??d for Smith's drug store or Brown's groce ry. And people must have been as impatient as now, for Central got .an earful of abuse if there was delay in getting the desired party. Mary say^ folks used to ring Cen tral and ask the price of eggs and what kind of weather was predicted j for tomorrow. The telephone com panies still are toiling to break peo ple of the babit of asking Central what time it is, where's the fire, did One-Round Gorilla knock out Battling Snoozer, or who won the ball game. Mary worked short hours, for those times ? only 8 in the morning until 6 at night. She had a long trip be tween home and office and had to climb six flights of stairs to get to her switchboard. Who invehted the elevator that ended this toil ? Don't all answer at once. ? Columbia Record.
