THE MORNING ASTORI AN, ASTORIAOREGON. THURIOAV, PI IRUARY 1, 1908. TELEPHONE TRIALS Trouble for Prompt Service With C Patrons, GIRLS ARE NOT TO BLAME canity of Trainino, the Voice to In' aur Clear and Distinct Communi cation Som Business Man Regard Girls a Sefe. We frequently hear of complaints gainst the Astoria telephone system, ome men imagine that they are th nly persons In town that have a tele phone and they are entitled to first consideration. They talk In a loud. rulI:voice, making It difficult to dis tinguish correctly what they say. Nearly every one has had an op portunity of observing the manner in which the telephone should be used properly, and yet how few have pro fited by their ' observations. For a node listen to the girl who conducts any telephone pay station. She speaks scarcely above a whisper, and though you are standing bu.t a few feet away you cannot follow her end of the con versation. Experlenec and Instructions have taught her that a low tone, well directed, is sufficient to throw the voice to any point, near or distant. She not nly does her work without offense to those about her, but by her easy con trol of speech saves herself from weariness and fatigue. Then a low, soft voice is pretty sure to have a polite sound. The loud, trident voiec is suggestive of Impa tience, if not of anger. Nothing is more frrftatlng than to be answered sharply r brusquely. When this happens face to face, the manner of the offender ften modifies the apparent asper ity of his tongue; but over the tele- j phone the offensive voiec cannot be softened or corrected by a glance of a smile. Hence the very great care that should be exercised by those who real with the public by telephone. Indif ference or inattention to calls or an impatient reply may drive away a cus tomer; In business, therefore, a good voice' used intelligently, politely and persuasively Is a commercial asset "tils a pleasure to do business with a house which performs every detail In elean-cut satisfactory manner; but It leaves a sting to be answered abruptly or discourteously over the telephone. It is a folly to lose one's temper because one does not get im mediate connection. This is rarely ever the fault of the telephone ope rators, who are nearly always cour teous and prompt "When one is called to the telephone he should respond quickly, and the per son calling should not be left to hold the wire too long something decidedly Irritating and often unnecessary. "Let us throughout the whole house strive to excel in satisfactory tele phoning." This practical business man has dis covered that the effectiveness of the telephoning In his store greatly con cerns the success of the business. As a writer In the Electrical Review said re cently, "The telephone which is rapid ly coming to be the most important door to the business office is all too frequently put Into the hands of incom petent, Impolite and Ignorant persons. The matter Is one of really great Im portance. As it progresses and the use of the telephone becomes more general, more and more of the world's business is being done over it, and It Is becom ing more Important than the person answering telephone calls should be competent to give dear and intelli gent calls and give them politely."

PASSAGE OVER VETO CLOSE It Now Goet to the House, Whtrs It Has Been Made a Speoial Ordsr for Tomorrow at 2 o'clock Efforts to 8ustain Veto. The Tuttle charter bill, which was made a special order for 10 o'clock yes terday morning came up in senate. Tuttle spoke for the bill and scored Mayor Surprenant, whom he accused of deserting the republican party. Senator Pierce read several letters from people of Astoria requesting htm to vote to sustain the veto. The bill finally passed over the governor's veto by a vote of 20 to 8. two members being absent. The bill was immediately sent to the house and the governor's veto message read. It was made a sptvlul order for 2 o'clock this afternoon. l'lt Attrney Smith and a number of demo crats, assisted by Oswald West, are making a hard fight against the bill and trying to make a combination on the Cascade county bill with a hope of killing the bill. Advices received from Salem Inst night are to the effect taut there Is a fair chance for the bill to pass over the governor's veto, althouKh it will be close. The fight has been n very bitter one and every possible pressure Is being brought to bear to defeat the bill. The bill to punish wlfe-beaters by the use of the whipping post passed the house tonight Llthleum made in- nlatlve speeches In favor of the hill stating that present conditions neces sitated extreme measures. Smith of Josephine opposed the bill, as usual. A CASE OF IT. Many More Like It in Astoris. The following case Is but one of many similar occurring daily in Asto ria. It Is an easy matter to verify Its correctness. Surely you cannot ask for better proof than such a conclus Ive evidence. W. R. Mcintosh, whose place of rsl dence Is at 593 Harrison avenue, says "For years I suffered very much from lameness and soreness across the small of my back. To turn In bed gave me painful twinges and when I was not working but simply standing around there was a constant aching over my hips. The kidney secretions gave me no end of trouble. I often thought 1 had gravel, so painful were the se cretions In passing. I rend about Doan's Kidney Pills and got a box at Charles Rogers' drug store, on Com mercial St. On taking them I soon noticed an Improvement In my con ditlon and the pain across my back was soon wonderfully relieved. Though I did not take Doan's Kidney Pills as regularly us I should have done, they did me a great deal of good." For sale by all dealers. Price .'.0 cents.
