ORDINANCE ON ' ONE-WAY RULE IS REQUESTED Chief Wants Law Passed if Meridian Pian Is Continued. Recommendation that the one-way traffic rule tor N. Meridian St. during rush hours be abolished, or be legalized by a city ordinance, was made to the board of safety today by Police Chief Claude F. Johnson. At present the one-way traffic operates under a board of safety order. Traffic Inspector Harvey Bedford, Monday recommended abolishment of the one-way system, saying it caused many accidents and that motorists are speeding. “The present system is not a success, but I can see how it could be made a success,’’ Chief Johnson said. “In an ordinance thg speed of the street could be regulated and signs could be ordered for all approaching streets.” "I know motorists have abused the privileges, but I am uncertain whether we would be justified in abandoning one-way traffic,” O. D. Basket?, board president, said. Johnson also recommended Patrolman Raliih Dean, reduced from lieutenant last week, be given a sixmonths leave of absence, effective April 11. Dean is planning to go to Florida to be associated with former Traffic Inspector Mike Glenn, superintendent of safety for the Carl Fisher holdings.

Curling and Waving Dries Life from Hair

Im 'T'y/ V

The constant curling and waving demanded by present styles in bobbed hair, slowly burns the color, lustre and very life from the hair, leaving !t dry, faded, brittle, and full of dandruff; then the hair roots shrink and the hair falls out fast. Since girls just must curl and wave the hair to appear their prettiest, try “Danderine” to offset any bad effects. After the first application your hair will take on new life and that healthy, youthful lustre, become incomparably soft, wavy and appear twice as thick and abundant. Falling hair stops and dandruff disappears. A 35-cent bottle of refreshing “Danderine” from any drug store or toilet counter will do wonders for any girl s hair. It goes right to the roots, invigorates, nourishes and strengthens them, helping the hair to grow thick, healthy and luxuriant. — Advertisement.

Approaching Indebtedness Limit “I met but one person in favor of the Forty-Sixth St. tract who could give a valid reason for its selection,” Smith said. “School board members said it would give more room for athletic purposes. This will be a future development. Because the board is approaching the limit of its bonded indebtedness enough land on the Forty-Sixth St. location for an athletic field could not be bought for several years.” Smith asserted a school board member told him that new plans for a buildnig will lie drawrtvby the same architect who took eighteen months to draw the plans which now lay untouched.
