The telephone can be the most useful and at the same time the most exasperating device. Bearer of both good and bad news, it was the latter which set the wires working Tuesday for Potpourri and her family. As the calls flew thick and fast between several cities, we began to wonder about this business of a subscriber being able to dial directly to points both near and far, without having to bother to place them through an operator. Th new system is already in use in some parts of the United States, it is said. At one time Tuesday we endeavored to place a call, through a long distance operator, for Blue River, Ore., which has a "Valley" prefix. The first attempt ended up in Blue River, Calif. On the second try, using the VA prefix, the call went to Areata, Calif. The operator apologized and said it was because of the conflicting "VA" prefixes, the Areata prefix being "Van Dyke". Later in the day another call was placed from a booth located just outside the door of the telephone company office in a town north of Medford. We told the operator the number in Washington we wanted (this one had no prefix) and she asked for the number of the booth phone, which we repeated. "What is the prefix, please" came the question, and when we looked,, there wasn't any. The op erator insisted that we look again. "It must be Union," she said in a resigned voice. A few seconds passed and the voice said "That will be $1.20 plus." Not thinking what "plus" might mean, we dropped in four quarters and two dimes and then the voice said "another dime please." The last few hours had been trying and filled with emotional strain, so the female in the booth snapped at the female on the other end of the connection and in quired "Why didn't you say so in the beginning?" "But I did madam, came the patient sounding reply. "I told you-$1.20 cent plus tax." Perhaps we're a bit stupid, but are the customers figuring the tax, as well as paying it, while standing In a telephone booth? The conversation completed, the traveler popped Into the company office to thank the woman at the desk who had supplied change. Thinking to be helpful, we told her that the booth phone had no prefix on its number and that we had wasted a few seconds convincing the long-distance op erator that it wasn't there. "What's the matter with her?" said the secretary. "She knows perfectly well what the prefix on that phone booth number is." And so ended lesson No, 2. for the day in long-distance telephoning. We returned to the car and reported to our spouse, sput tering about big business in America and whether it's as efficient as it might be. "Simmer down" said Pappy, whose nerves don't fray as easily as ours. "Just remember the long distance telephone is a lot better than smoke signals were." e Come to think ot it, the customers In this country are required to figure the tax and pay it, too, as far as state and federal income taxes are required. Several days ago Pappy, who fills out the tax forms in our household, wanted to know the whereabout ox the Oregon tax form. Neither ot us could remember having seen it, although we try to be careful about important mail. Appealing to the Countess, she rummaged In a desk drawer and came up with one. She also had an explanation for the fact that the first had been lost. "You probably threw it away thinking it was an advertisement, she said. This year, for some strange reason, the forms were address ed 'Boxholder.' " The Countess, whose efficiency no one doubts, took a dim view of this. "They should be addressed to the person expected to pay the tax," she said firmly. "If I'm going to pay out all that money to the state, the least the tax com mission can do is to see that I'm addressed 'My Dear Miss Lindsey.' " O.S.
