THE BATTALION 7 How will your office look ? <0 Smokers! Not like this, of course Yet you will find in it a dozen jobs that can be done more quickly and effectively by electricity—and done so quietly as to be practically unnoticed. In fact, electricity has completely revolutionized many office methods. TO-DAY in a modern office you will find these electrical aids: Addressing Machines; Dictating Machines; Adding Machines; Multigraphs; Check-writers; Cal culating Machines; Cash Regis ters; Interior Telephones; Card Recorders; Card Sorters; Time Recorders; AccountingMachines; Time Stamps; Clocks; Mailing Machines; Typewriters; Fans; MAZDA Lamps, and many other electric devices. This familiar mark appears on many electrical products, including motors that drive time- and labor-saving office machines. Y° UR FATHER probably will recall the days of high stools, eyeshades, and evenings overtime. But visit a modern office! A thou sand letters to go out by four o’clock. A new price list to all customers in to-night’s mail, without fail. Enter electricity. Two or three people turn switches, and thefinished letters come out of an ingenious machine. Another motion and they are sealed and stamped. Only elec tricity could get that job done. Here’s a statistical job. The reports are in; thousands of figures to analyze. Looks like overtime for fifty clerks. “Certainly not,” answers electricity, as a button starts the motor-driven sorters and tabulators. Key cards are punched with light ning fingers. Electric sorters devour 24,000 cards an hour. Tabulators add quantities and amounts in jig timey and print the totals. Co to almost any bank today. Hand in your account bock. Click, click, click, goes the electric book-keeping machine and back comes the bool to you. Five operations performec in that brief moment. Everybod) saves time, —you, the clerk, the bank,—when electricity is the book keeper. In the office of to-morrow you will find “ electrical fingers” doing mere work than even to-day. 210-62DH GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANY, SCHENECTADY, NEW YORK I A. & M. PLAYWRIGHT (Continued from page 3) matter of fact the whole tone of the play is much more sophisticated than one would expect from a seventeen year old student at A. & M. Never theless, it is practically all his own work; Turner Bullock of S. M. U., his collaborator, furnishing only the tech nique of dramatization. A man like Wathen is an asset to A. & M. One can point to his assured literary ability to disprove the state ment that A. & M. has no cultural opportunity. He was prevented from coming back to A. & M. this fall and is now working in a Dallas office. He wished to come back, however, and there is a possibility of his doing so the second term. “We had quite a game up to the boarding house last night.” “Poker ?” “No, the landlady was going to lick one of the boys for not paying his board, I tried to checker, she jumped me, crowned him and told us both to move.” “Did you do it?” “Chess!” * * * “Rastus.” “What do you want, Mandy?” “Don’t forget to fetch me home a bar of tar soap. Ah aims to keep my schoolgirl complexion.” sfJ ❖ * “He says I’m the nicest girl in town. Shall I ask him to call?” “No, dear, let him keep on thinking so.” MASTER STROKE The final touch necessary to make football as fool-proof as other high- powered business has been supplied by Northwestern University. Student ticket-passports, bearing portraits of their owners, must be presented for admittance to games. Student ticket managers explain the new wrinkle as a means of preventing students from selling their reservations. *■£<- >£*• >£«- vjv 4^* -*^4- -tj*- •*$«- -*$«• ❖ HAVE YOUR EYES * ❖ EXAMINED ❖ ❖ and Your Glasses Fitted By ❖ *** J.
