‘LARGE EVENING’COSTS ESCORTSISHERE

Enjoyable Time Can Be Had on $5, Court Reporter Says,

r—dlAT would be considered a yy “heavy date" in Indianapolis can be had for less than half the cost of a “quiet evening” on Broadway. May Allison gave $36.60 as the minimum cost of an evening on Broadway, New York City. Miss Bertha Markowitz, 2840 Ruckle St., Indianapolis; Superior Court reporter, figured slf> as a large amount for an evening In Indianapolis. This would include dinner, at $4. the theater, at $6, and a dancing and eating place, where $5 probably would cover the cost, even on Saturday night. “But there are few dates like that in Indianapolis, for the average girl,” Miss Markowitz added. Taxi Fare Excluded She did not include taxi fare in her estimate, because, she thought, “an Indianapolis man who could spend that much on a ’date’ would have his own car.’’ Avery enjoyable evening can be had. Miss Markowitz estimated, for less than $5. This would include a dancing place, and food downtown to end the evening. “Many girls enjoy a movie, at 60 cents each, and then a drink, probably not costing more than 25 cents.” she said. “But a lot of men think girls scorn evenings like that. "In Indianapolis, usually It Is only Sunday night dates that Include dinner. Even then, dinner, at $4. a vaudeville show, at $2.20, and a drink later, at 50 cents, would be more than the average expenditure.” Liquor Isn’t Counted Miss Markowitz did not count the cost of liquor at all. “I know it la part of many dates.” she said. “But the average girl, although she may accept it, does not demand it. Besides, we're not supposed to know anything about that.” Incidentally, she remarked the high cost of dating Is not limited to men. "We girls have to dress for them,” she said. “And that costs quite a hit, too.”

Different in N, Y,, Where $36,60 Is Viewed as the Minimum, By .V E 4 Service ——|EW YORK, Sept. 20. \ Courting the girl of your dreams comes high today. It costs at least $36.60 for a Broadway evening. It used to cost $6.85. A neighborhood evening costs $5.50. One dollar would have been sufficient twenty-five years ago. “It costs a king's ransom to court a girl in modero style,” explaited May Allison; who was asked what was necessary’ to entertain a girl for an evening in these times. All the “Extras” “The least expensive evening. I can imagine costs $36.60, sl2 for dinner: at least $6.60 for theater tickets; with couvert charges of $4 it is impossible to escape from a supper club, for less than $lO and it Is safe to estimate $5 for liquor: $3 is the least for taxi fare. "And that would not be called a riotous evening by many girls of today. One hundred dollars would never cover many a party.” Miss Allison neither drinks nor smokes, it may be said in justice to her. A business girl living forty minutes from Times Square was asked how,much it cost a young man to entertain her for an evening. “The cheapest would he.” she said, after contemplation, “$3 for a table de hote movie; 50 cents for cream and probably $1.50 taxi fare.” That totals $5.50. Twenty-Five Years Ago A Broadway Beau Brummel of yesterday recalled for prices of twenty-five years ago. “Well, I used to feel like a real spender when 1 started out with $lO. There were no autos and the horse cars were good enough. “That cost 20 cents. A dinner at $3 was the best there was and if you tipped anybody more than 25 cents you ran the risk of being publicly kissed. Theater tickets at $1 50 apiece were top prices. That totals $6 85. One evening of this a week was considered a treat for any girl.*’ Miss Allison explains from the girl's viewpoint that although a man with bulging pocketbooks is not scorned, as soon as a girl becomes properly interested in a man she immediately becomes miserly and insists on helping him save money. i

mm HU HOAD AND IH ID BIAIAE IN WILLIAMSPORT WRECK Order, Held Secret for Ninety Days, Finds That Switch Stand Was Worn, Permitting Rail to Open and Derail Passenger Cars. FOURTEEN DEAD, FIFTY-FOUR INJURED, TOLL OF ACCIDENT Siding Entrance Control in Such Condition That Vibration of Engine and Coaches Causes It to ‘Go Bad,’ Says Official Document. The \\ abash Railroad and the conductor and brakeman of the freight train into which a Wabash train plowed June 1, nar Williamsport, Ind., killing fourteen and injuring fifty-four persons, are held responsible in a public service commission order made public today. The order is dated June 20. It was held secret for ninety days.

The report chiefly blames a worn | switch stand, at which the fourth | car of the passenger train was dej railed and thrown into the freight |on a siding. It recommends strict | compliance wih rules requiring braketnen And conductors to see that switches are properly closed and the replacement of other worn switch stands on the Wabash, If any are , found. Vibration Opened Switch The order states that “vibration of the engine and first three cars of j the passenger train caused the ;switch lever to pass out of proper | holding permitting the switch points ■to open, causing .rear trucks of the | fourth car to derail and come in ! contact with the freight engine | standing on the north side of train j No. 2 the passenger) and comp'eteiy wrecking all cars of train No. 2.” I “It would appear,” the order i states, “that rule No. 104 of the Wa- ! hash Railroad has been violated, j The rule is that switches must be left in proper position after having been used.” The order says the rule puts it up to the train crew to see that the switch is safely locked, the conductor being finally responsible since he is in command of the train. Asked About Switch “The evidence shows,” the order says,” that Conductor Harry Martin of the freight train called to Brakeman C. Torrence and asked regarding the locking of the switch. It would indicate that he had in mind this rule and wanted to be sure the rule was being carried out. ! “Torrence answered back that the switch had been locked, j “However, strict compliance with j the rule would demand that the conductor personally see that the switch was properly locked and that the points fit snugly to the stock rail.” Two Recommendations Made "The switch stand in question had been in service, no doubt, for a number of years, and from constant use, covering a period of years of service. It shows that the switch ; stand was badly worn, and that unless the handle was properly’ down i and the lock properly placed that on ! account of the worn condition of I the stand, the vibration of a passing train would cause the switch to fly open, which, if the parts were not worn there is a probability’ that such vibration would not cause the switch to open, and, therefore, the condition of this switch has a great deal to do secondarily with the accident.” The order recommends that all rules of the Wabash Railroad be ‘‘literally compiled with” and that “all switch stands of the Elliott type on high speed or main tracks have been in service sufficient time to show wear, as was the case in the switch stand at the west end of Williamsport, be replaced with either new stands of the Elliott type or some stand of a more modem type.

SILENT SIGNAL SYSTEM URGED FORCROSSINGS Rikhoff and Railway Heads Discuss Warning Bells, Silent policemen for railroad crossings instead of warning hells may be used in Indianapolis, as a result today’ of a conference between Police Chief Herman F. Rikhoff and P. J. Landers, superintendent, and T. R. Ratcliff, maintenance of way engineer of the Indianapolis Union Railway. Landers end Ratcliff went to Rikhoff's office in response to a letter Friday from Rikhoff, warning the railroad that unless warning bells were established at crossings, particularly at the Rural St. Crossing, arrests would follow. Crossing Code Obsolete I-anders reiterated his former contention that the Section 960 of the municipal code of 1917, dealing with railroad crossing was obsolete and should be recodified to meet new conditions. He said he was more than willing to cooperate with the city if the crossing code was modernized. Landers said ha requested such recodiflcation in a letter to the city council last July and intended to go before th council again. The present law calls for warning bells, operated by circuits, 1,500 feet from the crossing. A switch engine, he said, will pass over one circuit and the bell will ring, but stops when the train reaches the crossing. Unless the trains goes on 1,500 feet, the bell will not ring again It the train switches back on the crossing. New Type Suggested In Its place, Landers suggested a new system which would cause the bell to ring every time the trains passed the crossing. Landers recommended a a a better system, silent policemen at the crossings, operated either by circuit or towermen. Chief Rikhoff told Landers he favored the electric signal system, pointing out that many drivers axe hard of hearing ox are in closed cars with the engine running and cannot, hear the bell. Riffhoff said he would go before the board of safety and urge etlamt policemen for crossings.
