The Playmates By Georgiana Cheesman OOR little Polly lay in bed, She whooped and coughed till she was red; Her mother gave her toast to eat With mar-ma-lade so nice and sweet, And brought hot cambric tea to drink Which helped her to sit up, I think! The first time Polly went to play! Upon a lovely, sunny day, The next-door children all ran off And shouted: “You’ve got whooping- cough! We can’t come near you till you’re well— We're going to play with Posy-Bell!” Poor Polly whimpered dolefully; “Nobody wants to play with me!” Just then some little birds hopped near; The gray squirrels showed no fear. frisked, and So Polly dried her tears, and smiled, And frolicked with these playmates | wild; She whooped and coughed, but still they yed And never seemed one bit afraid. When mother called her The little girl said: The squirrels and birdies don’t run off— I guess they’ve had the whooping- cough!” in to tea, The Dramatic Brewery (Continued from page 29) several scenes of considerable dra- matic force, and many more that are either merely cheaply sensational or intrinsically absurd and dull. The central character, as well as two of the subsidiary characters, are handled with much of Dreiser’s uncommon Arthur Hopkins originally planned to do the play, as I recall, with John Barrymore in the réle of the pervert. Barrymore would have given a remarkably fine performance, unless Iam much mistaken. The per- formance presently vouchsafed the réle is an unfinished one, but is yet not without some projectional force.

A scene on Broadway, New York, in 1890, showing the density of overhead wires The same scene after the overhead wires were replaced by underground cables Improvements The history of the telephone is a record of constant improve- ment. Only by numerous inven- tions and ceaseless research for new and better ways has the present standard been reached. ‘Two-score years ago the tele- phone could hardly carry the human voice across a city. Now it carries it distinctly across this great continent. The once familiar network of overhead wires in large cities has been re- placed by systems of under- ground cables, each cable con- taining thousands of slender, sensitive wires. Switchboards, once primitive devices, called upon to handle only a few connections and limited in their workings, have now become great and precise mechanisms through which the volume and complexity of tele- phone traffic is handled with me- chanical perfection. With the continued growth in the number of telephone users, there is a continued increase in the problems of speed, accuracy and speech transmission. These are the problems for- ever before the scientists and engineers of the Bell System; and the solution of these prob- lems, in advance of necessity, is the objective of this great body of specially trained experts. The Bell System will con- tinue the improvements necessary to maintain its standard of ser- vice, which is the best and cheapest telephone service in the world. “BELL SYSTEM” AMERICAN TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH COMPANY AND ASSOCIATED COMPANIES One Policy, One System, Universal Service, and all directed toward Better Service PROVISIONAL Dyer—Are you in favor of restricting immigration?
