PENNIES POPULAR AS NEW FARE IS PUT IN EFFECT Many Passengers Pay Cash Instead of Buying Tickets, Passengers dug a little deeper into their pockets .today as the 7-cent street car fare went into effect. Pennies became “life savers." Aside from congestion caused by conductors making change, street railway officials reported the new schedule operating smoothly. A great many rider a were taking advantage of a slight discount and buying four tickets for a quarter. The ft re increase order of the public service commission went into effect at midnight, but continued fcr only half an hour until 10-cent owl fare started. Starting at 4:30 a. m. the new fare was resumed. Double Transfers It provides for 7-cent cash fare, four tickets for 25 cents, one-cent transfer, with privilege of double 'ransfer at one cent each, succeeding the old 5-cent fare with 2-cent transfer. “The surprising thing according to early reports is the great number of passengers paying cash fares,” said James P. Tretton, superintendent of the Indianapolis Street Railway Company. “On some lines cash fares are running above 50 per cent.” Expect More Tickets Tretton said he believed more tickets would be sold as passengers became accustomed to the fare. “We started this fare change easier than any other new schedule we have adopted,” said Tretton. “No trouble has been reported.” Orders establishing the 7-cent fare, with four tickets for 25 cents, on the Beech Grove and Broad Ripple traction lines were expected to be issued by the public service commission. Making Cents Out of It Motorists seemed to be more tender hearted than usual today. Auto drivers who haven’t been in the habit of “giving lifts,” picked up persons waiting for street cars, reluctantly ready to put 7-cent fares into the of the street car company. ‘‘Let s beat the company out of 7 cents,’ said one E. Tenth St. motorist as he offered a ride to a Times reporter. * • * The extra 2 cents puzzled car riders. Most of them insisted on giving it to the conductor instead of dropping it in the box. Thousands who didn't ride to work :n automobiles paid 7 cents car fare or walked. One north side girl paid then walked. After giving the conductor a nickel, the extra 2 cents was asked.

The cure was effected through the combined use of radium and X-rays developed from anew machine capable of 200,000 volts. Dr.

She paid it, and then asked for her money back. The conductor refused because he had registered the fare.
