TORS
In the belief that there is very pos-
sibly a close relation between the pay
and working conditions of telephone
operators and the quality of service
furaished by the telephone, the fol-

"Here are some official statistics
taken from reports to the interestate

Germany Is Not Beaten Yet!
Don't make the mistake of thinking that Germany
is beaten.
She is not. There is lots of fight left in her and lots
of cruelty—and Victory, too, unless we keep on strik-

Your money is needed to shorten the days of Ger-
many's cruelty. LIBER I Y BONDS will do it.
