; Telephone subscribers in Great Britain are now receiving from the General.Post Office a brightly-written fourpage pamphlet explaining the correct way to speak on the telephone. The booklet is the result of endless experiments in phonetics by General Post Office telephone engineers. From, the contents it is learned that a good telephone voice is not a gift; but that it “can be acquired by almost anyone. One is told that “the first essential for good telephone conversation is to speak close to the mouth-piece of the transmitter and directly into it Speak naturally, clearly, and slowly; A little care with your consonants will help to prevent mistakes. A medium level of tone, at a low pitch rather than high, is the most serviceable. Speak'with reasonable deliberation, Give the vowels their full ordinary value. Do not allow the voice to drop at the end of a sentence."
