NEWS FROM

Raleigh, May 8.-There has oc-
Cured very recently in Raleigh

years resident here and working

it seems, and two agents Of the

What developed is not given
out for publication Of course. The
impression is that the German
was not guilty Of knowingly com

a crime. But he was certainly a

VAWTER TRIAL
NEARS END
{BY UNITED PRESS)

Christianburg, Va, May s.
The burden of proof in the Vaw-
ter trial that the defendant did
not fire in self defence is placed
upon the State.
The instructions to the jury
specifically stated that if the jury
believes that letter by the defend
ent to the murdered man in which
he said "pay my bill and take my
wife, that such a letter must be
considered as written by a man
Of unsound mind.
The burden Of the proof is pla-
ced on the defence to show that
Vawter was insane or intoxicated
at the time he wrote the letter to
Heth, and that he did not know
what he was doing.
It is expected that the case will
go to the jury by noon tomorrow.
Though the Commonwealth at
torney made a powerful plea it
is the general opinion that the
jury will be out only a short time
and then the verdict will be not
guilty.
Jordan Hatless will follow the
argument for the defence this af-
ternoon.
Attorney Roop in his argument
painted Vawter as a blackmaile1
and stated that he was willing tx
exchange his wife's charms tc
swell his own pocket.

We hare sought results
regardless of cost

For more than year, the reorganization Of
this department has been in progress under the
direction of men and women who are experts
in the training of operators. The most mod
ern type of instruction switchboard obtainable
has been installed at a cost of $4,000.
Thirty eight young women, who have shown
marked ability as telephone operators, form
the staff of instructors. They practice the
methods Of teaching used in model training
departments and are importing their knowl-
edge of telephone operating TO others who
wish to enter the service in Detroit.
So you see, before new operator IS placed
at the switchboard serving our subscribers
she is as competent as a thorough training
course can make her.

Personal Service Is the
goal in UieW

Unfortunately for both the operator and the
customers she serves, the telephone subscriber
sees only himself and one telephone instru-
ment when making telephone call. He sees
nothing of the intricate work the operators are
Loing TO satisfy the demands Of the other
thousands of customers beside himself.
There is nothing TO indicate to the SUBJ
scriber making the call that telephone oper-
ators, like sales-people in stores and other
commercial houses, experience an unusual
rush of business at many times during the day
This lack of personal contact is, of course,
a serious handicap. Nevertheless, the oper-
ator desires 70 give her service that personal
quality which characterizes the efforts of an
expert saes-person in a store; for She TOO, has
a genuine interest in satisfying her customers.
So we believe when you consider the first
class telephone plant We are building up IN
Detroit, placed in charge of capable young
women, we'll versed in the art of skillful tele-
phone operating you will conccde that nothing
is being overlooked on our part which would
contribute in any way toward the realization
of our common desire service that pleases
and satisfies.
