When Police Chief Mike Morrissey
stopped the semaphore traffic sys-
tenn on downtown streets, Indian
apolis made it's bid to become a Co.'S
mopolitan city.
In recent years, the semaphores
have proved to be a poor sub
stitute for handling the traffic Sit
uation. Unlike most larger cities,
Indianapolis kept this antiquated
system when better methods easily
could have been adopted.
The semaphoreS proved to be a
perpetual confusion to visiting mo-
florists, especially at corners where
Virginia, Kentucky, Massachusetts
and Indiana avenues branch out.
Oftentimes strangers motoring in
the city hesitated to proceed, fear
ing the go sign vas not intended
for the avenues. Pedestrians often
became confused on these intersec-
tionS, due to uncertainty of the traf-
fc movement.
All larger cities long since have
abandoned the semaphore systems
for more swift methods. Perhaps,
soon, traffic on Indianapolis main
fhNrNYInhf0r VOC will ka IirnofaI oe ~ Sc
in larger cities, with traffic lines
proceeding for several blocks at a
time, instead of being forced to halt
at each intersection by the stop
signal.
Persons from other cities say this
system is superior in handling of
heavy traffic. Perhaps city officials
soon will see the wisdom of adopt
ing the system to facilitate the latest
improvement.
The Times has done an admirable
piece of work in exposing conditions
at the state penal farm, but SYM
pathy for 80 per cent of the gentry
who land on the farm is wasted.
While the public should condemn
the methods" used at the farm, it
should not be led into any maudlin
sentiment for the inmates.
I venture to say there are two
sides to the stories told to The
Times by these inmates; for, first
Of all, the average inmate of these

RISE Of DOLLAR
CONTINUING

NEW YORK, March 18 G.N.S0.
The dollar extended it's rally to-
day. British sterling lost an ad-
ditional quarter cent at $3.363s,
carrying with it the Scandina-
Wan exchanges and the Canadian
dollar which lost y cent at "a
cents.
The decline in the Canadian
dollar was laid to the report of
the Dominion finance minister
showing a decline in gold hold
ings at the end of February
to $72,581,828, or 1922 above
the statutory requirements,

NEW CURRENCY
HELD SOUND

Those who hold the new Fed
eral banking legislation is infla
tionary fail to recognize the off
setting deflationary aspects OF
the same legislation, says the
Standard Statistics Company, in
a current survey which continues
in part"
"The enactment has for its
purpose the creation of an
emergency currency to offset
the necessary bank ClOSingS
and the general restrictions
upon credit operations result
ing from a Shrinkage Of the
banking structure in the United
States. This currency IS not
infIatiOnary.
"TO the contrary, it is Sc
cured by adequate collateral,
ranking equally with national
bank notes in this respect.
Moreover, because Of the tax
involved, the. reserve banks will
tend to retire it quickly when
the emergency need passes"
The effect of the new currency
in advancing prices is expected
to come rather through its stimu-
lus for business recovery than
through any stimulus it may pro-
vide to commodity or security
speculation through its infla-
tiOnarY aspects,

CITY BANKRUPT
LAW URGED

Vincent D. Wyman, mayor of
Coral Gables, Fla, is heading an
effort to have the special session
of Congress amend the bank
ruptcy act to permit municipal
ity, unable to meet it's debts, to
institute a special and limited
composition proceeding in the Fed
eral Court, whereby a settlement
plan, assented to by two-thirds Of
it's creditors, will bind all creditors.
The basic purpose of the pro-
posed amendment is the same as
that Of the amendment passed by
Congress in the closing days Of
the Seventy-second Congress, ap.
plicable to railroads and other
corporations, namely, to eliminate
the "hold-out nuisance" created
by the small minority of bond
holders who seek selfish advan-
tage, and who, in every case, pre-.
vent immediate and effective ad-
justment.

Here and There
In the Realm Of
Broadcastins
By STANLEY BIGELOW

Something is n0lolng up Cne
works on this proposed new radio
chain of which Station VOL is
to be the washington outlet.
But nobody down here seems to
know just what the delay is all
about or when things are going
to get started. Leroy Mark, presi-
dent of VOL, meanwhile, is sit
ting tight for word from New
York.
The chain, to be known as the
Amalgamated Broadcasting Sys-
tenn, is headed by Ed Wynn. An
announcement from New York to-
day says that Sylvester Sullivan
has been engaged by Station
WCDA, New York outlet for the
chain, to give news comments be-
ginning Monday, but Mr.. Mark
apparently doesn't know whether
this means the chain is to begin
functioning then or not.
VOL will not enter into any
contracts with the new chain; but
will merely sell time.

parently has fallen for Americas

Wheat prices dropped about 1c in

flood of selling swept the pit
May slumped to SIC, but en-
countered good support at this
level and rallied fractionally.
Volume was heavy. The July

Corn started moderately higher
but met with heavy pressure that
carried values down more than a
cent. Oats duplicated the action
of corn.

were "a to 7sc lower, corn rs to
3sc off, oats unchanged to hc

Crop news was bullish, but re-
ceived little attention. Uncer,
tainty over possible effects of the

A STANDARD FOR
BETTER BUSINESS

One of the standards for More-Than Truth
full Advertising promulgated by the Better
Business Bureau is that urging advertisers
to quote the minimum as we'll as the maxi
mum comparative price.
For instance, we recommend that instead of
advertising "hats $200-values up to $780,"
that the statement be made more definite
and explicit and state ''$2.OO, values $500
to $780,"
This recommendation is intended to make
comparative values and prices of greater
meaning to the public; to insure definite
ness and explictness that deserves and war
rants the belief and confidence of the shop
ping public.
These advertisers who cooperate with the
Bureau for a higher code of advertising
ethics follow this standard when they adver-
tise comparative prices.
