Cheer Up, Men! War Is Over and Straps in Street Cars Are Here to Stay.

By ELDORA FIELD TJ'EMININE curves are less alluring in Indianapolis than in St. Louis, or the Hoosier males, like true Spartans, are stoically resigned to an bye straining fate. In St. Louis, the street cars today are strapless. There are reports that the modern young woman, reaching for the strap, and subsequently swaying with the car’s gyrations reveals more curves and such, than the St. Louis males could tolerate. When J. P. Tretton, superintendant of the Indianapolis Street Railway Company, received the report he exclaimed, “I'm surprised at Sam Greenland. I didn’t know he was getting that old.” Greenland is vicepresident of the St. Louis Public Service Company. He is a former Ft. Wayne, Ind., traction official. So shocked, indeed, was the Hoosier street railway official he inquired in a letter why his colleague instituted the reform. Greenland’s reply indicated profound appreciation of all nature’s beauties, but did not state that feminine curves _ influepced the order that removed Miss Straphanger from the Missouri metropolis. “The removal of the straps has made quite an improvement in the appearance of our cars,” he said cautiously. He added, “I am not old, and my eyesight is not. failing.” Several times, Tretton said, women have complained that, while traveling on cars with longitudinal seats, they were awarded more than a fair share of masculine attention. “But we’ve had no complaints from the men. so there’s no reason to remove the straps,” he declared. Executives Visit Plant PM Times Special ANDERSON, Ind., Sept. 26.—A party of executives of the North! east Electric Company of Rochester, N.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

DRYLAW MAY BE DISCUSSED BY MACDONALD British Premier and Hoover Possibly Will Consider Prohibition Tangle. I Bit Cttitcd Pres* WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.—President Hoover and Premier MacDonald may find the international aspects of American prohibition a profitable subject for discussion Ahile the latter is a White House guest next month. Well-informed opinion, however, is disagreed, regarding the likelihood cf such conversation, but ramifications of the prohibition problem as typified in the pending dispute over the coast guard’s sinking of the Canadian rum smuggler I’m Alone caused speculation whether the President and his guest would attempt to canvass the situation. Persons suggesting the idea do not pretend knowledge of the President's intentions. Dispute Being Pondered Emphasis is directed, however, to the far-reaching potentialities of the I'm Alone decision, which is to be made by Justice Van DeVanter of the United States supreme court and Eugene Lafleur, representing Canada. If they faS* to settle the dispute, a wider arbitration will be sought. If the I'm Alone decision goes against the United States, much of the coast guard’s advantage oyer smugglers would be lost, in the opinion of officers engaged in enforcement work. Under present treaties with the principal shipping nations, this country has the right to make arrests within an hour’s sailing distance of the shore line. Among coast guard officials there is considerable sentiment in favor of abrogating the liquor treaties altogether. Abrogation abruptly would end the privilege now enjoyed by foreign passenger vessels of bringing sufficient liquor in store on the westward passage to supply passengers en route to Europe. Will Visit Canada In a sense th£ I’m Alone and related problems lose their strictly Canadian-American significance and become matters of major concern to Great Britain. A satisfactory adjustment of the international aspects of prohibition is a difficult if sec r ondary part of the general prohibition problem. In any event, MacDonald’s next official host after leaving Washington will be Premier W. L. MacKenzie King of Canada, and the journey to Washington and Ottawa would give MacDonald opportunity, if he desired it, of becoming better acquainted with the Canadian and American aspects of the situation.
