Woman Refused Entrance
Stockingless to N. Y. Cme

NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-The fashion
among otherwise well-dressed women
Of going about in public minus stock
ings may be making Roadway in Paris
and London-where the high cost of
women's hosiery is held responsible
but tht first attempt to introduce the
mode in the best New York circles has
come to grief.
The test was made at the Hotel
Plaza at the height of the afternoon
tea rush. A good-looking woman en-
tired the hotel faultlessly attired ex-
cept in the matter of stockings. OF
these she had none. When the gor-
geously uniformed doorman and the
small army of bellhops saw her mount
the steps, displaying pair Of low cut
patent leathtr pumps, but no stock
ings. they shuddered, and knew not
| what to do. In fact, nobody seemed to
know just what to do until the visitor
had taken her seat at a table in the
summer garden overlooking the Fifth
avenue plaza.
| Bare legged youngsters were splash
| ing in the basin of the Pulitzer memoir
1al fountain outside but as the woman
turned to place an order with a waiter
she was told that the MANAGEMENT
was very sorry, but she would have
to leave the hotel.
1t was all done very quietly and
there was no "scene," as the head
! bellhop put it. The woman seemed
to understand that she was not want
ed without stockings, and though she
did not appear overjoyed, she made no
| fuss. She just left.

One of the most perplexing prob
lens which confront city authorities
in most cities today is the proper
regulation Of street traffic.
Since the advent of the automobile
and motor truck, traffic conditions
have been revolutionized on our
thoroughfares. Where formerly few
slow moving vehicles passed, there
are now vast numbers of fast moving
automobiles that are a dense blockade
on a few minutes interruption of ira
vel. Regulated traffic, makes for con-
venience, safety and ultimate econo-
my, and we may hope for further In
telligent regulations.
Regulating parking, traffic at street
intersections, defining right of way
streets and the routing Of certain
classified traffic are the vital points
on which hinge the success of regu-
| lated traffic.
City Has Narrow Streets
Richmond is handicapped by having
| comparatively narrow streets, SO is
consequently more interested in hav-
ing some parking regulations than a
| city like Dayton or Indianapolis where
the pavements are much wider.
Future business streets should con-
sequently be laid out much wider in
| the future The present small radius
| of the curb corners is much too sharp
! and should be increased to from II to
lbs feet radius At the prominent
| street corners such as Main and 9Th,
| the larger radius turn is much more
convenient for motor driven vehicles
and provides more space where 1t Is
| needed.
Traffic regulation under police man
agement is practically essential to the
lives of pedestrians who have to cross
the path of fast moving vehicles, often
carelessly or brutally driven.
This is not possible at all the cor
ners here on account of the city's fin
ances, but as a substitute, the city will
put Keep to the Right" signs, similar
to the one at 9Th and Main streets, at
the busiest corners. These signs will
be a great help, traffic necessarily
must slow up at them in order to make
, the required square turn.
A number of accidents are caused
| by drivers cutting corners at high
speed. Drivers on turning corners
should remember to hold out theil
hand, this a simple signal yet is in
strumental in preventing many accl
! dents.
Right-of-way Favored
Recently the board of works asked
council to draw an ordinance defnine
certain streets on which drivers will
have the right of way. These running
east and west were recommended a:
the right of way streets. This law
similar to any other regulation, would
be SIMPLY a matter of education ant
would require only a short time TO-
Io DIV 70 n
such an observance would tend to pre-

City Engineer Advocates Shicter Traffic
Laws; Would Keep Trucks Off Main Streets

vent accidents, it would relieve the
tension of persons driving on North
and South streets.
Routing of certain classes of vehic-
les to certain prescribed streets seems
opportune in Richmond. If trucks
hauling coal. lumber, furniture, or wa.
CONS hauling gravel etc, used other
STREETS besides our busiest ones it
would relieve the congested condition
on those streets considerably, thereby
make the traffic which must necessari
~ use it much more convenient and
safe.
Restrictions are sometimes a gen
eral blessing and even Of advantage
to the interests curbed.

water. They thought/nothing of it.
Several minutes thereafter, Erick-

saw the body in the water.
The body was removed from the
water while there was still life.
