WRONG NUMBERS ALL IN A DAY’S WORK FOR COPS Thu Is a tale just for those pa tient ladies, the telephone operators. It'* about one “wrong number’’ some body got yesterday that can’t be blamed on them. It was down in the office of the desk sergeant at' police headquarters. The hands of the clock showed the hour was almost 4 In the afternoon. There was a temporary lull in the usual office bustle. Even the ever-winking little lights and recurrent buzzes on the instru ment panel of Officer Sidney Baughn's switchboard were idle for the moment. News had ceased to fil ter in o friot, rebellion or even minor Insurrection Sidney started at the panel. But Instead of neat rows of switchboard plugs before his eyes there rose the outlines of the house he’s going to paint soon. In a chair nearby sat Lieut. J. H. Lange The lieutenant smoked his pipe end said nothing, which he does quite frequently. Desk Sergeant R P. Crowder’s pen rasped across a page of the ’’log’’ book. But for the rustling breeze of another dying Spring day outsde there was no other sound. ’•Brrr” went the switchboard buz zer. Sidney jerked alert. Then his forehead wrinkled in perplexity. The indicat roshowed the call as coming from one of the police sub-stations. They were put out of service long ago by the new-fangled radio patrol cars. Sidney thought some mlschevlous boys had taken a receiver off the hook at one of the sub-stations He spoke his mind into the mouthpiece of the po ll--' switchboard phone. Fluently too. nroved to be a tele phone company lineman atop a lofty . He was trying to p.ug in a call to his office from bare wires. By a freak co-lncidence the •epair man got the “wrong number.’’ Miss Lee Gives Rule To Live By Z * ■ SARN TO WORK, AND NEVER FORGET HOW TO LAUGH By VIRGINIA LEE THESE ARE a few of the things that I have learned by living in this good old world—-or bad old world, ac cording to the mood you’re in. These rules will work whether you are a hen-pXked husband, a wife and mother, a biide-to-be or groom ditto, a lone spinster or a care-free bachel or. By the way, why is an unmarried woman in her late thirties, forties or fifties, regarded with pity, for her loneliness and a man in the same age category envied because he is said to be “free”. I wonder if he isn’t lonesome too, and if, really and truly, more tnan a very, very few married men would change places with him. And are spinsters lonely? The>»e are the things I believe aid happy living: That if you are friendly and willing toi go mere than half way, if neces sary, to meet people, you will have friends. That you fust leam to work, and it do sn’t much matter at what. You can get the biggest kick out of any job, provided you go at it intelligent ly and do it e* well as you know how. That you can have an awfully good time if you enjoy the little things of life—things that cost nothing—a love ly cloud-swept sky. flowers in bloom, a pretty child, a kitten, puppy, bird, or any other little animal. The colors of fruits and vegetables, crockery linen, glass and furniture, making new acquaintances, meeting old ones, go ing places and seeing things—if it is only to a city park. ILlstening to music, looking at pictflres, reading good books Thau when you feel perfectly aw ful—mentally and physically—and in cllr.cG to think you are the most ill used person in the word and have the most worries, you can get yourself out of it Ly finding someone else who is much worse off, or by going to a picture show or on a party, the idea being to get your mind off yourslef.
