SAYS DRY LAW
HERE TO STAY
Tells World Convention in
Switzerland U. S. Has
Been Hampered.

By united Press
LAUSANNE, Switzerland, July 30.
Prohibition in the United States
will not be repealed, Mrs. Ella A.
Boole, president of the American
Women's Christian Temperance
Union, Sunday night told the thir-
tenth convention of the worlds
w. G. T. U.
Marvellous as have been the re-
suits of prohibition we have not re-
ceived full benefit of this good law
because Of the determined opposi-
ton of the liquor trade in those
countries where it is not illegal to
manufacture, and of those who were
controlled by greed, avarice and ap~
petite" Mrs. Boole continued.
In most of the States the prohi-
bition law is as well observed and
enforced as any other law, but there
are certain wet centerS which domi-
nate a large section of the press
and Of public opinion.
On the other hand a study of the
opposition to prohibition as indi-
Gated by the fifty-nine wet bills in
PRODUCED in the last Congress, seek
ing to modify or repeal prohibition,
reveals the fact that the authors of
these bills come from only nine
States and that they live in ten
citieS-NeW York and Buffalo New
ark, Detroit, st. Paul, Chicago, st.
Louis, Baltimore, Boston and Mil
Waukee.

Winner in Contest Will Be
Decided at State
Convention.

Foot portraits are all the rage
these days, with The Times staging
foot contest for valuable prizes.
The winner will be eligible for the
National Perfect Foot Contest later
in the year.
The contest will be judged by
officials and experts who are dele
gates to the convention of the Ma
tional Association of Chiropodists-
Podiatrists at the Lincoln, Aug. 7
to 10. The entrants in the contest
will bring pictures of their feet to
the Foot Contest Editor of The
Times, or if they do not have a
picture of their feet, arrange for
being photographed by The Times
photographer today.
Prize for Smallest
Since the perfect foot may be
large or small, special extra prize
will be given for the smallest foot in
the contest. Age is no bar to entry
in the contest-the health and
shapeliness of the feet is the only
basis for judging
DIR. Joseph Lelyveld, director of
research for the national aSsocia-
tion, will be in complete charge of
the contest. Similar competitions
have been conducted in other Amer
lean cities, and the winners in all
these contests will be judged to dis
cover the most nearly normal feet in
the country.
The contest is being run as part
Of the research and scientific work
of the convention. The photographs
will be examined by the judges, and
the owners of the most nearly per-
feet ones will be asked personally to
appear for the finals. DR.. Lelyveld
advises contestants and all others
who want healthy, normal feet, to
wear shoes and stockings of suf1-
Gent length.
Good Chance to Win
Stockings must be longer than
the foot" he says, ito prevent in
grown nails and large joints. Shoes
must be roomy and comfortable.
The correct shoe balances the foot
and body on natures three-point
suspension. They should be made so
as to bend freely at the ball of the
foot, with an upper leather of a
soft kid, calf or Kangola leather"
It is the outSpoken opinion of local
podiatrists that the winner of the
Indianapolis contest will have an ex-
cellent chance to win the national
title Indianapolis women, they
say, have exceptionally well-formed
feet.
Entrants wishing to be photo
graphed by the Times Staff photog-
rapher may report to the Times
office today, or any day this week,
between 1870 a. m. and 100 p. M,
where photographs will be taken
free.

Negotiations for Use of
Street Railway Tracks
Go On.

Indianapolis & Southeastern trac-
ton cars from Shelbyville, Rushville
and GreenSburg were proceeding to
the Traction Terminal today over
tracks of the Indianapolis Street
Railway Company, while officials of
the two companies continued nego-
tiations for a contract covering use
of the city trackage.
The street railway company tore
up its tracks at the junction with
the I. g. S. tracks on Prospect st.
Saturday morning, because the 1. &
S., successor to the Indianapolis &
Cincinnati Traction Company, had
not made a contract for use Of the
city tracks when the change in
ownership became effective Friday.
Until Saturday evening, when I'M
broken service was re-established,
passengers outbound and inbound
were transferred to and from the
terminal in buses.
Joseph A. McGoWan, secretary
treasurer of the street railway COM
pany, said service was resumed "out
of Difference to a request of the
public service commission, and in
order that the public might not be
nconvenienced."
Interurban company attorneys con-
tend that the I. & G. contract with
the street railway company for use
of the city tracks had been sold
along with the traction property at
the receivers sale in Rush County
and that by the decree of the court
the new company had ninety days
in which to accept or reject any
of the old contracts, franchises,
leases or tracks, agreements sold
with the property.

START OF WORK
IS EXPECTED IN
SO OR 80 DAYS
$825,000 Ordinance Will
Be introduced to Council
Aug. 8.
BRIDGE FIRST STEP
Contract Calls for Finish of
$12,0o0,0O0 Project
in 10 Years.
BRIDGE FIRST STEP

Work on the Belt Railroad south
side track elevation program prob
ably will be begun within sixty or
ninety days after passage of a $685.
600 flood prevention bond issue by
city council, it appeared today.
The ordinance will be introduced
in council Aug. 6, according to pres
ent plans. Work on the widening
and dredging of the White River
channel between Morris and Ray
mond SITS, which has been awarded
to G. E. Jefferson for $497 900. will
begin as soon as council passes the
bond issue. The contract was
awarded in 1927 by Duvall Lca1d
of works. The legal department has
advised that the contract is legal
and it is planned to go ahead with
the Duvall board agreement.
Bridge First Step
The Belt entered into an agree
ment with the city to begin its $12,-
100000 south side elevation project
within thirty days and complete it
within ten years from the date work
is started on the Strengthening of
the channel. A huge curve will be
eliminated in the Strengthening
plan.
The first step of the elevation
project will be building of new
bridge over the river, west of the
present belt span. The channel will
be moved several feet west in the
Strengthening plan.
1t is estimated the bridge will
cost about $1,500,00O and take eight
cen months to complete the job
Belt Engineer T. R. RatcEff said
the railroad Is ready to proceed with
its part of the program as soon as
the city meets the agreement.
The city pays 81 per cent of the
costs. The county owes the city
$134,000 for track elevation work,
which is being raised by bond issue
That amount with the $4,000 on
hand and November taxes will give
the city $541, 842 with which to pay
it's share of costs.
Levy Will Be Needed
Work on the elevation of Penn
sylvania and Baltimore and Ohio
tracks between Cruise and State SITS.
will cost the city about $4,000,
leaving $201,0 for the south side
program.
The east side program is expected
to be begun as soon as legal require
ments are fulfilled on the Oriental
ST crossing. The city is pushing
the vacation of Oriental st. and re-
vising the track elevation plans to
eliminate traffic hazard at South
eastern Ave.
If the Belt spends $1,5oo,ooO the
first year, the city's share will be
about $4,000, making necessary a
three-cent levy in 1929 to raise the
balance.
