It Claimed, to Test Efficiency Employes Is of Service. Correspondence of the Assoriated Press PARIS. — Government employes listen in on presumably private tele- phone conversations in nee, but not from curiosity. They merely want to be sure that the telephone is working all right. They seldom sit in on an entire conversation, con- tenting themselves with sufficlent snatches to show whether the com- munication is clear. From the many complaints one hears, it may be as- sured they are more easily satisfied with the clarity of the line than the ordinary subscriber. When the Royalist leade Daudet, was released from p a_trick telephone call, it plained by the embarrassed govern- ment that the inspectors who listen in on telephone conversations were at lunch at the time. This aroused the Leagu Rights of Man. They wid minister of commerce to inquire whether telephone conversations were no longer secret. The minister ex- plained that they were, but that in each exchange was an “observation table,” whose occupants cut into con- versations to test the quality of the service. But they do not tell what they hear, he assured the leagne, for all employes are sworn to secrecy when they enter the telephone service. Farmers Get Free Plans. Correspondence of The Star. RALEIGH, N. C.—A new branch of service to North Carolina—blue prints of farm bulldings, ranging from colo- nial residences to lowly chicken coops—is proving a_success.
