NEW GAME WITH DIAL PHONES AVENGES PETTY TYRANNIES

"Dial 911, wait for the dial tone, then dial nine, hang up, and wait for the phone to ring." Such are the instructions from a meddlesome student who has discovered in the new telephone system a method of revenge for the petty persecutions of human operators.

The secret number, which serves the Telephone Company as a check on repaired phones, has become public property since a student spent several hours of idleness trying out different combinations. He guarantees it to enliven an already joyous evening. If the number should not work, the investigator should dial eight instead of nine since Cambridge phones are divided into two classes.
