NEW!—Block Specialized Blouses at $5.95 and $5.00 We know how the maker obtained the styles—from Paris sketches. But how he managed to give such fine materials and workmanship in waists of such modest cost—WE DON’T KNOW! These waists are evidence of what can be accomplished by “Specialization” by a concern with commanding blouse supremacy. The waists are of Georgette crepe—in such lovely colors as coral, maize, bisque, gold, chartreuse, Nile, flesh color and white. Lai^ge collars—embroidered and beaded fronts.

PASSENGER DESCRIBES EXPERIENCE ON SOUTH EAST ST. LINE.

INCIDENT OF TRANSFERS

To the Editor of The News; |

Sir—I want to do some legitimate “knocking" In regard to the Irregular and Inefficient street car service and the dirty condition of the cars that I have experienced and seen along with many others who were on the same cars dur-

ing the last two weeks.

On January 5, boarding a .North Illinois street car at Walnut and Illinois streets, between 10 and U p. m.. we found the iloor of the car literally covered with torn papers, banan* peels and old transfer pads. We took a South East street transfer and boarded car No. 819. This car was even worse than the Illinois car, the floor being as dirty with old

iper sacks

at ten-

car, the floor being as dirty wit transfers, old papers, empty paper and peanut shells that I called the tidn of other passengers to the condition of the car These are just two incidents which I will mention of the dirty cars. Now as to Irregular and inefficient service. Monday evening. January 15, we boarded a South East street car about 7:30 o’clock, obtaining Northwestern transfers. At Illinois and Georgia streets, a young lady boarded the car carrying a heavy suit case. The conductor collected the fares and she asked for a Central avenue transfer. He handed it to hfr and after the ear had turned north In Capitol avenue. Just before we reached Washington street, the conductor came to her and told her she could not get a Central avenue car from that car line unless she walked over to lllinbis street. The young lady got off the car aK Washington street and Capitol avemte and walked toward Illinois street. At Capitol | avenue and Ohio street the Northwestern

Works Board to Receive Bids Soon on Motor Device—Expects Big Annual Saving. .The board of public works announced today that bids will be received soon on a sewer inlet and manhole cleaning machine, which is expected to save the city about 310,000 annually. The board, with B. J. T. Jeup, city engineer, and William H. Holl, street commissioner, returned yesterday from Louisville, Ky., where what is said to have been a successful demonstration of one of the machines was wit-

nessed.

The cleaning of more than 7,000 sewer inlets and manholes costs the city approximately 321,000 a year, and it is estimated that the work may be done more effectively with the machine at a cost of approximately 310,000 a year. The machine would cost about 36,500, and it would do one-third more work than is done now by five team* and twenty men. One of the machines will be brought to Indianapolis for a demonstration. The machine is mourned on a large motor truck, the engine of which pumps water into the sewer inlet or manhole, and pumps It out through a device that strains out all dirt, leaving it in the

truck to be hauled away.

William H. Holl, street commissioner, said he .will ask the city council to pass an ordinance prohibiting the dumping of garbage and other refuse into sewA

manholes. The sewer .constant trouble, he said,

no law specifically making It a misdemeanor for the customers to be on the

premises.

The proposed bill provides that: “Whoever frequents or visits a place where spirituous, vinous, malt or other intoxicating liquors are sold, bartered or given away in violation of the laws of the state of Indiana, or whoever frequents or visits any room where intoxicating liquors are sold by virtue of a license issued under the laws of the state of Indiana on any day, or during those hours when the sales of such liquors are prohibited by law, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof shall be fined in any sum not less than 35 nor more than $50. to which may be added imprisonment in the county jail not to exceed sixty days."

tded the passengers “car-to-car" transfers. telling them to transfer to another car waiting at Twenty-first street. We found four cars waiting at Twentyfirst street, all headed for the city, and we had to wait there until those cars had made the run to town and back to Twen-ty-first street.' The first car was crowded and there was standing room only. The druggist at Twenty-first street and Senate avenue will corroborate this, as his store was crowded with the passengers who waited for the car to which we were transferred, as will any one else who experienced this Inconvenience of Monday evening on Northwestern car

On our return trip the conductor on the South East car was so sleepy that he lay on the seat of the car at South and East streets and fell asleep while waiting for the car to pass us In the switch, and the motorman had to signal to the conductor t5 get his signal to go. Now. just how much longer will the citizens of .Indianapolis stand for such rotten conditions of the cars and such poor service before they rise up in Indignation and demand that the street car campany either fulfill the terms of its franchise or forfeit it?

Many of our own coats also brought down in price to meet the values

in this new purchase

While these coats have just come in—plans were made for this sale

many weeks ago.

A certain very fine maker •‘speculated” in woolens. With the prices steadily going up, he bought tremendous quantities of fine fabrics— and the first thing he knew, he had so much money tied' up that he

had to unload.

We had the fabrics made up into the models that women showed preference for. We had him incorporate spring fashion tendencies

in many of the coats.

The utmost care was exercised in making. The linings were carefully chosen—every detail looked after.
