"'" t'r SCARCITY OF TELEPHONE OPERATORS ""'.'
Oie reason why the Bell Telephone, company is gradually
instajling'automatic switchboards to replace girl operators is
thai:", they anticipate increasing difficulty in obtaining enough
operators 'of the intelligence such ' work requires. In other
words, their demand for competent operators will run ahead
of Jtlie increase in population. , T.he last ?:w years has shown
an creased general demand for women workers, thus setting
up irribre competition for the kind of girls capable of being good
operators. 'X Moreover, there is : grave fear that of all girls
obliged to enter employmcnts. those too dull-witted to be good
operators will increase more rapidly than the bright ones.
The following figures will give an idea of the situation: In
.1920 the Bell system employed approximately' 125,009 opera
tors and by 1930, on a manual basis, at least 200,000 operators
would; be needed. The problem varies in different cities, but.
in one of the largest, it is estimated that while workers of the
group from which operators are" recruited will increase 13 per
cent in the. ten-year, period, requirements for telephone op
erators would increase 65 per cent; - ' . ' . '

;- LETTER
iBy HARRY B. HINT -....
NEA Service Writer
. WASHINGTON. Feb. 19. Weird
tales ot burled treasures, of Inter
national conspiracies Involving for
mer diplomats, of clandestine , ro--mance
In high society and ot a vast
subterranean labyrinth leading to a
bootleggers' rendezvousheld Wash
ington breathless for three days
last-tall following the discovery of
n elaborate maze of underground
passageways In the heart of the bet
ter residence section of the city.
All sorts; of wild stories were
started s to the origin and use of
the tunnel. - '.' . : ..
Then the' bubble of speculation,
which had ' clothed them with the
romance of intrigue and mystery,
was burst by, an announcement by
Dr. Harrison Grey Dyar, custodian
of lepldoptera In the National Mu
seum, that he had built .the tun
nels by way of getting exercise.
'Now, -however, folks ore ' won
dering, whether perhaps there was
not something to the "burled treas
ure", story after all.
For Dr. Dyar appears as pur
chaser, for a price of $2,300,000
ot one of the largest and most
elaborate apartment properties in
the capital.
. Anyway, ell admit that as a
"digger" Dr. Dyar seems to have
got somewhere.' , " ;
I- '. .
, A celebration of first rank, de
signed to give a rebirth to American
Ideals and new stimulus to American
achievements is proposed for Wash
ington in 1932. The occasion would
be the two hundredth -anniversary'
of the birth of George Washington.
Tentative pluns for a fitting na
tional celebration of Washington's
' bi-centennlal already ihave been dis
cussed -by President Coolidge with
' the congressional members of a
commission which will have the ar
rangements In charge.
'Historical and patriotic organ!-;
cations, as well as leader in Amer
ican" progress In art, science, In
. dustry and finance, have been given
' places on the body which will plan
; the'celehration. - v.: - ''-
General Isaac Sherman of Toledo
.0., who at 90 is the oldest member
of "Congress, sang his "swan song"
to the House a few days ago In a
'speech contrasting the life of a
congressman In Washington today
and S3 year ago today., -
As an Index ot the comparative
.cost of government today and then,
when General Grant was just start
ing tils second term. -Sherwood said:
"I remember the appropriation
for salaries, lerk hire and upkeep
ot the White ;House that year was
$4200.: -Tills year we gave, our
president the tidy sum. of $500,000.
"General Grant had no bodyguard
no .military staff, no White House
police. I ' remember meeting him
many times walking down Pennsyl
vania avenue alone,,,. t. . ,.. , --'
, "Members pt. Congress got f 5000
a year . salary. We had to rent onr
offices oat ot our salary and wo
had to take our pen in' hand to an

culture, 'hence the . fanners were
contented end -reasonably prosperous.
