HELLO GIRLS JUST CAN'T
STAND THA 7 PHONOGRAPH;
IT EVEN GOT PERSONAL
Canned Music Nearly
Broke Up Whole
Central Outfit.
Those patrons of the Southern Bell
Telephone Company - who have been
thinking for the past few weeks that
the company had a private music fac
tory'located aomewhere In the neigh
borhood of "central's" office, have been
disillusioned.
The strains of music which have fall
en with exquisite sweetnesa upon their
ears every time they have taken down
the receiver and secured connctlon with
••central," did not emanate from the of.
flees of the Southern Bell.
The whole story was laid bare In po
lice court Wednesday afternoon, and
now telephone users alio know why
the nerves of the "hello" girls have
seemed to be on edge, and why they
have given numbers with auch fever
ish haste and nervous energy.
On complaint of the employees of
the Bell Telephone Company, L. H.
Llghtfoot, who owns the Edlaonla
Electric theater, at the comer of Mitch,
ell and Pryor streets, facing the office
of the company, was arraigned before
Recorder Broyjea for failure to abate
a nuisance. m
The “nuisance" conslatsd of a phono
graph which furnished canned music
by the square yard from the early
hours of the morning until late at
night. The business end of the ma
chine was trained directly Into the win
dows of the telephone company, where
doaena of girls were busily engaged
making telephone connections.
For the first few days after the ma
chine was put in they didn't mind. The
music was a novelty and It served to
lighten their labors and made the lead-
enrwlnged hours tly swiftly by. But
after a while the music began to pall
on them. Novelty began to fade away
Into monotony, and then monotony de
generated Into positive nausea.
Day by day the untiring phonograph
went on. From the brasen mouth of
the mualc box, ever'turned toward tha
office of the telephone company, rang
out with pitiless persistence the stir
ring strains of "Farewell, FarewelL
Motile, Darling," Interspersed with
"Won't You Come Over to My House?"
"Tell Mother I'll be There," "I Want
to Be a Soldier," while "Hello, Cen
tra], Give Me Heaven," caused mut
tered threats of what central would
prefer to give.
The "hello" gl
Incessant mualc was getting on their
girls grew frantic. That
nerves. They grew peevish and Irrlta
ble, and tha time' between answering
telephone calls was spent In express
ing. both publicly and privately, very
pronounced vlewa In regard to all
phonographs and phonograph opera
tors.
Finally, a strenuous kick was regis
tered, and the phonograph operator was
asked to abate the nuisance. But ths

ILLINOIS MEDICOS
AFTER “QUACKS”
Rockford, III., May 23.—If the men
who moke laws and grant applications
down at Springfield had been present at
yesterday's session of the annual meet
ing of the Illinois State Medical Society
their ears would have tingled.
President J. F. Percy demanded to
know whether the etate la to be given
over to quackery and spectacle ped
dlers. He asserted that "pathles and
lama" have received recognition by the
legislatures while high-minded men and
women were laughed out of the state
house.

phonograph remained unchanged and
the Incesaant music continued to dis
turb the peace of mind of the telephone
glrle. •
Then the manager of the phonograph
got Into court for falling to abate the
nulaance. A compromise was effected,
Mr. Llghtfoot agreeing to switch the
muelc factory around so that the vol
ume of sound will sweep away from
the telephone building and waete fta
sweetness on the dusty air of White
hall, where hurrying pedestrians do not
tarry long enough for even dust to be
come a nuisance.
