Immoral.
F. EFFECT OF PHONE

The charge that the telephone is one

morality, was vigorously denied today
by Division Manager Porter Of the
Snesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Judge Frank Carter. of Asheville. N.
=, indicted the telephone in his ad-
dress yesterday to a grand Jury, de-
clarinE that 1t is helping to break down
the morality of young womanhood, as

OF immodesty, and. although 1t is rarely
called to our attention that the tele-
phone enters into this transaction, when
complaints are made, the abuse Is quick
ly discontinued.
II believe Judge Carter Is somewhat
overestimating the alleged ills Of the
modern telephone. The situation In
North Carolina may be vastly different
from Washington. but It is hard to be-
so far beyond redemption as to employ
immoral language over the telephone as
freely and flagrantiy as the emphatic
words of the Judge would Indicate
