on 1.-THE Value of Efficient Service, .
stressing the Importance of saving

Should Be No FavOrites.
There should be no favorites-no
patrons who receive special privileges,
but the quality of the service should
be uniform, day after day. Each de-
positor should receive the best. There
should be no such thing as very
friendly and over-accommodatin sery-
ice for the dazzling fiappers, and a cool,
half hearted service for the old lady
type of patrons.
1.-THE test of the quality Of your serv-
ice is, are you pleasing patrons who
are hard to please, or just the easy
going type only. If only the easy go
ing, easily pleased type, then your
service is far below par. The oldest
bank in town with a history running
back into the past 100 years hasn't a
ghost of a show in getting new busi-
ness in competition with the bank of
the efficient service unless it renders
an efficient service also.

The first big step toward classifying,

vided for under act of March 8, was

ton into their character and past ac-
tivities.

PLANS To APPEAL
IN BOERS|G CASE
Counsel for Condemned
Man viii Not Give
Up Fight.


| FAIRFAX COUNTY COURT
HOUSE. Va, April 7.-Steps to ap-
plY to the State Court of Appeals for
writ of error and an appeal from
the death sentence meted out to Louis
+. Boersig by jury herevl late yester-
| day afternoon were begun today by
Frederick Flynn, the condemned
mans counsel. Mr.. Flynn said it
would take two or three days to make
| up the points which the defense be-
| lieves warrant an appeal.
/ Boersig was convicted of first-de-
! gree murder yesterday, after a trial
(which lasted only so minutes, of T.
year-old Loretta Ridgeway. He also
had been charged with the murder of
5year- old Kathleen Ridgeway. and the
| brutal assault of their mother, Mrs.
! Minnie Irene Ridgeway, in the Ridge
way home near Alexandria, March 4.
Accepts Sentence Calmly.
Accepting the death sentence
calmly, Boersig today urged that his
attorney press an appeal. His wife,
who was present at the trial, but out
Of the courtroom when the sentence
was rendered, became hysterical when
she was advised of the verdict. If
| Boersig goes to the electric chair at
| Richmond, June Z, the date set by
(! Judge Howard r.. Smith yesterday
afternoon, he will leave not only his
wife, but four children.
Five minutes after the verdict was
rendered yesterday the defense coun-
sci formally moved for a new trial.
Judge Smith promptly overruled the
motion, but delayed the death sentence
! so days in order to permit the Court
of Appeals to take action on the case.
| II the Court of Appeals does not act
within so days the death sentence
date will be set forward
Grounds for Appeal.
One Of the grounds Of appeal will
| be the refusal of the court to give
| the defense time to get witnesses to
| the trial, it was said today. Through
out the trial Mr.. and Mrs. George
| Ridgeway sat in a front seat and
| they freely voiced satisfaction over
| the verdict. 1t was the positive
| identification of Mrs. Ridgeway that
| Boersig was the slayer of her
| daughters that apparently convinced
| the jury of his guilt.
| Before the verdict was read to the
| crowd which packed the courtroom,
| Judge Smith lined the aisles with
| officers and commanded them to
| place under arrest all persons who
gave expression to their feelings.
! This precaution resulted In the
crowd receiving the verdict in virtual
/ silence.
Bed in Courtroom.
| Upon the advice of physicians a
| bed was brought into the courtroom
prior to the opening Of the final ses-
sion of the court at 3:45 pm. The bed
| was taken up into a balcony room
and before the trial had an oppor-
tunity to get under way John M.
| Plaskett, 60 years old, of Lorton,
Va, a juryman, whose heart attacks
| on two previous occasions had de-
| layed the trial, had third attack
and was Immediately taken UP to the
| balcony bed.
1t was after waiting a half hour
! for Mr.. Plaskett to reappear that
! counsel for the prosecution and de-
| Tense agreed to rest the case without
! further evidence. Judge Smith then
! led the II jurors to the bedside of
/ Mr. Plaskett, instructed them, and
