WAVES SAVE WALK
DENVER tf)—If you wave to a
girl on the balcony at Denver’s
Union Station, she may toss you
a note. But it's strictly business.
The girl is following a 40-year-
old system designed to save a long
walk.
Mis* Jessie Frank of the West-
ern Union office on the station's
main floor explains it: Whenever
a secretary in an office on the
second or third floor has a tele-
gram to send, *ha presses a but-
ton which busies in Miss Frank's
office.
Then Miss Frank walks out into
the waiting ro m to catch the fold-
ed message. But .if she if b»fy she
may »ay to a customer or a man
waiting for hia train: “Do you see
a girl un on balcony! Please wave
to her.” He does and the telegram
floats down.
