for conductoresses." which grad
uate' each week a total Of between
800 and 400 female conductors TO take
the places of men gone to the war.
Not since the earliest days Of the
electric car in Berlin have pupils who
were candidates for positions on the
back platform proved as apt as are
the women who once We're considered
as absolutely unified for this sup
poSedly masculine work. Between q
500 and 5000 women are now en-
ployed and incidentally every one who
has applied passed the preliminary
examination. A large percentage.
however cannot stand the strain and
have to seek other work
The women are given a theoretical
course Of three days eight hours a
day, in one Of the FIVE schools that
are located in Charlottenburg, Trep-
| tow, Lichterfelde, Lichterberg and
Weissensee suburbs of Berlin. This
| is followed by longer period OF
| practical training, during which they
| are accompanied on genuine trips by
| experienced conductors. learn the
names of the streets, and have a
chance to put their theoretical train
| ing into use.
The Berlin public has co-operated
heartily with the street car authorities
in its introduction of women on the
| cars There has as yet been no single
case recorded Of an insult 70 one oi
the female conductors, and i : rare
that passengers have not cheerfuliy
been willing to put up with green

Especial to The News and Observer
Asheville, July 24.-Although he
was the defendant in no case and no
charge had been preferred against him
c. c. Willis, bondsman Of this city
probably was the heaviest sufferer at
the term of the BuncOmbe county su
perior court which adjourned here
yesterday afternoon. No less than a
dozen defendants whose bonds were
signed by Mr.. Willis made their way
in many directions when Judge 3. f.
Long began the imposition of the
longest sentences ever imposed for re-
failing and other misdemeanors and
the presiding officer yesterday order
ed that Mr.. Willis pay to the county
the money which is called for in the
bonds. The latter stated through his
attorney that he can get some of the
defendants to return to the county
but be is not inclined to go to this
expense if he must pay the bonds any
way. Judge Long was not inclined to
encourage him to make any further
expenditures.
Mr. VILLAS will be called upon to
put up more than $4,000, it is stated
| by reason of the failure of certain
| defendants to appear at the term
which has just closed. The term con
vened to remain in session three
| weeks but it was possible to clear the
docket in two weeks. Judge Long re
turned to his home at Statesville las

DEFER ACTION ON
RAISE IN TAXES
Durham Aldermen Go Slow in

Realty Values
Special to The News and oeeerver

Durham. july "a The board II
aldermen has put off the considera-
ton of raising the tax rate in Dur
ham until next Friday evening At i
meeting last night they talked of the
suggestion that the tax rae for the
city, which is now $1.17. should be
raised 10 or 90 cents in order to get
more revenues for the purpose Of
doing more work on the streets
The aldermen hesitate TO inc.
the tax rate in view of the fact that
there has been a big increa in the
realty values this year.
1t is either up to the aldermen TO
raise the tax rate or make some other
provision for money for streets this
year. No street work can be done un-
| less the aldermen find some means OF
getting more revenue for the pres
ent income Of the city is just about
on par with the current expenses
If the rate is not raised or bends are
not issued it will mean that there will
be no funds for construction of street:
for which there are such a big de
mand at the present time.
