"Man Bait' her current Metro
politan star production, the scln
cillatlng comedienne wears . a
heart-shaped piece of court plas
ter on her cheelc which she clas
sifies as her "man bait." It sac
reeds the diaphanous gown and
"tbe toIW hose as an allurement
for emeshing the nnwaryymale.
Since Miss Prevost has thus
popularized the tiny dab of plas
ter there has been a rush In the
ranks of the pretty "extras"' to
follow the star's lead. Where a
speck of dust may hare rested nn-

It comes to the Oregon theater

Standardization in Service
IE manufacturing of equipment for the
Bell System was one of the earliest, and
is npw among the outstanding examples of the
standardization and quantity production
which are distinctive characteristics of Ameri
can industry. ' '
Quantity production for the nation-wide
Bell System makes it possible to put into
v every item of telephone equipment better
material and better workmanship,' at a lower
cost to the telephone user, than could other
wise be done. But the dominant advantage of
uniform manufacturing, under standard speci
fications, lies in the improvement of the service.
Every transmitter in the System is designed
to work in harmony with every receiver all
over the land and to co-ordinate with all the
complicated equipment and lines behind. All
can function at full efficiency for they are
designed and manufactured for that, purpose.
Standardization, not only of equipment but
of operating methods, is the only basis upon
which it would be possible adequately to meet
America's need of a nation-wide, universal
telephone service.
