The amazing number of people in this town | with leisure to “stand by” when anything out of the ordinary happens | is no more noteworthy than the determination of each to be first on the spot and lest to leave. “Boy Scouts will find it a tough job to persuade bystanders to go) about their business when there is any excuse for forgetting it.

The Public Ser- ‘vice Commission in that State has received so many complaints of party line swbecribers who pay morning, afternoon and evening calls) over the wire that it has asked the company to admoniah its patrons. If warning fails, hard and fost regulations will be put in force. We wieh New York could afford to smile at the telephone goxsij: | Down East. Anybody, however, who has been forced to listen to! telephone conversations in this town knows that supposedly busy New Yorkers waste one another's time by wire as if time here had no more value tlean a eummer morning in the Sahara Desert. We need a new telephone etiquette. We need it particularly between persons of opposite sex. The first role shonld be that it| is not rude to be the first to ring off.
