Ban to be Put en- the Custom by the Rail-
road Companies.
Railroad men report that a great
railroad is about to put ban upon
one OF the frivOlities incident to mar
rage, and if it's rules can be enforced
there will be no more rice throwing
upon happy couples while they are at
the station or in the train.
Passengers have been injured by
slipping upon rice-strewn platform
and the trainmen are complaining
about having to keep rice-sprinkled
cars clean. That is the cause OF the
projected order.
1t appears there has been an un-
usual crop of spring marriages. The
officials also think that a railroad
which guarantees no rice throwing
would meet with great favor with shy
young couples who detest the rice
throwing habit, and that if protection
was assured, people would flock to the
road for their wedding trip.
The order is expected soon so the
railroaders say but how it is to be en-
forced they do not know.
