Show Friday, March THE OGDEN POST Hooper Notes Telephone Directory vs. Encyclopedia Miss Thebe Jones has gone to California to remain indefinitely. Miss Jones passed the winter months with relatives here. Bf RING LARDNER To the Editor: They seems to bo a few people In the United Stute that still thinks we wasn't justified or something In war on Germany, hut 1 guess these blids would feel different If they stopped to think that It was a German that invented the telephone and it Louvain und the sinking of the Louisiana was a crime, whut uboul the Invention of the telephone which comes from the 2 Greek words tele, meaning fur off, und phone, mcuulng sound and maybe It Is on fleet. of me llveing In Greut Neck which isn't far from the Sound why maybe thut is why the telephone service isn't so well you know. When a man slops to think that the telephones are invented by a German, why you can't help but believe the rest about them for lust inventing tear gas and etc. but not only that but it also shows how vs. democracy they was when they invented some ' thing that nobody but only the leisure class can use because for Inst. 1 and you could not never afford it even if we only figured our time on 10c per hr. which nobody guts as little as ,that now days only the president of liar vard college or a soldier or some thing. For Inst, if 1 am out here in Great Neck and want to talk to somebody in N. Y. City why it wouldnt only cost me about $2.00 to go down there and see them why if I telephoned it would be 20c for the call and 2 days to put it through and if 1 worked on a 8 hr, basis on 10c per hr. why thut would be a total of $1.00 for tbo 2 days thut it took for them to put the telephone cull through where I could go down and see them and get buck In 3 bra. or some such figure. Hut in the case of the leisure class, its different us the only real work they half to do the whole yr. around is make out their income tax blanks which only takes 3 months to figure out how they cun beat the govt, and if it was not for the telephone they wouldnt know what to do the rest of their time where as now when they poker and bridge and eta get tired and have got a few days left on their hands why all os they half to do to kill a couple of days is try and get somebody on the telephone. But 1 don't wunt my genial readers to think this crabby article means that I don't hold no brief for the telephone company. On the other hand, if it was uot for a German inventing the telephone why they wouldnt of been no American inventing the telephone directory which is the greatest institution we got left here from a amusement pt of view. The telephone directory has never been gave the credit it deserves and pcrsonly 1 have got 1 regret in life which Is that 1 didnt keep all the telephone directories which was ever gave to me as it wonld save me from buying a cyclopedia which coats $2ii a case which opposed to a telephone directory that dont cost nothing 1: you ever get it and has got 8 or 8 times as many names in it and besides that the names in the cyclopedia is 90 dead compared to the names in the telephone directory which is dead when you try and cal only 80 them up. 1 alsJ wished 1 could bring 4th a modern voL to prove my assertions, but unfortunately the ouly telephone books 1 got in the house is the latest one from Great Neck where you already know the number of the grocery store and the butcher shop and the taxi cub Co. and Mr. Quun who loans you money and also the N, Y. City telephone directory of May 2, 1917, and I suppose if 1 live here a couple more years they tflll give me a October book of 1917 and keep me up to de-dari- 't eye-bu- Here Is President Hoovers Cabinet In Salt Lake April 4 of and Superintendents A schools from all over principals will gather in Salt Lake City April 4 for anMr. and Mrs. Carl Simpson nounce the arrival of a baby boy, born the annual conference of Utah Educational Administrators held under the in the Dee' hospital last Sunday. auspices of the University of Utah.

City telephone directory of May 2, 1917, as follows as they say: In the first place It says that use-fuinformation can be found on l'age 17. So you turn to Page 17 and the first thing that strikes you in the is a ad that says we sell artificial limbs that fit. Well, suppose that some morning you was to wake up and have a craveing for a artificial Uiub that fit you and you didn't know how to go about it to get one and they was not no telephone directory in the borne why here would you he at? You would half to call up and ask for Information which Is another word for practical joke und they would finely give you a firm that suld artificial lltubs that didnt come near fitting and you would buy 1 and hhlf to walk down the sL all out of kilter and people would look at you and make you feel like a fool. On luge 22 they give you Information for telephone users which they don't claim Is uscfull but it says you can call Information free of charge and also the Co. wnnts criticism but It should always be made by telephone, why by the time you reach the party It would be 3 or 4 yrs. later and the management would of changed. All told. It' looks to me like the telephone which wns made In Germany was enough excuse for us fighting them where as the telephone directory which waa made la America is a work that ought to go down in history like "Huckleberry Finn or "Casey Jones or something.
