Hick Town Brand Is Put
on New System by
Letter Writer.

With scores of ballots received to-
day by The Times from 1ndlanapo-
lis motorists and pedestrians who
are voting on the city'S new down.
town traffic system, not one vote
could be found for the new plan OF
traffic direction.
Every vote received today was a
demand for the return OF the old
semaphore system. instead OF the
new plan in which the policemen
move traffic by whistles only.
Several of the voters. using the
ballots printed in The Times, added
letters to their votes. A typical
note read:
Il enclose herewith my vote on
traffic semaphores. Apropos of this
tvpe of traffic control equipment
being used only in hick towns. the
use of such equipment in Washing
ton, D. c.. provides an interesting
comparison.
In that village. on some inter
sections traffic control officers are
supplied not only with a Semaphore,
but a platform with a railing and
umbrella. It is evident that that
town at least is more interested in
efficient traffic control at certain
congested intersections than the
appearance or posture Of the OH
GER"
The new plan was put into effect
by the safety board at the request
of Traffic Captain Louis Johnson,
who claimed traffic policemen were
using the semaphores as leaning
posts and that the system was a
"hick town" plan away.
Protests have been received all
over the city. charging that the
new system has slowed up traffic
and that motorists are forced to
come 10 a stop at every corner and
to peer about for a glimpse Of the
policeman TO learn whether to go
or stop.
The Times is giving every citizen
q chance 70 vote on the question.

GREENCASTLE. Ind, Sept. 10
Further developments in the investi-
CATION by the war department OF the
enrolment decline of the reserve
officers training corps at De Paw
university, reveal that both DR.. G.
Bromley Oman, president, and
military authorities are clinched in
a deadlock
Following withdrawal OF the unit
from a compulsory basis in 1923.
the war department in an ensuing
investigation asked that Oman re-
quest the withdrawal of the corps
because of his purported opposition
to military training However, it is
reported, OMAN refused TO dismiss
the unit because it might bring pro-
tests from others concerned with
the policies and administration of
the university. 1t is understood that
Oman prefers to have the war de-
partment withdraw the unit because
of insufficient enrolment in the
course.
PacifiSm Is Charged
The Methodist Episcopal church
conference voted to request govern
ments to withdraw all supports for
military training in civil institu-
ton. De Paw university is one Of
the forty-four universities and col
| leges of the Methodist church.
The war department charges that
OMAN, who frequently has stated
his pacifiStiC convictions, has been
influential in Withdrawing student
interest and support from the unit.
Oman has been attacked previous
ly by the D. A. r for his attitude
| toward patriotic programs.
The war department in its
charges stated that OMAN had not
allowed R. o. T. C. representatives
to interview freshman students.
Branded Snap Course"
In answer to this. OMAN stated
that since the officers of military
training were not appointed by the
university that they had too made
quate knowledge of the curriculum
to be advisors. In addition, he
stated that no one department had
ever had the privilege Of addressing
the freshmen for the purpose of
soliciting members for courses.
Oman, too, stated that the mil
itary course was regarded as a
snap course by the student body.
In the second semester Of 1931-1932,
he pointed out that 83 per cent of
all students taking military were
accorded grades of A or B.
Enrolment Slumps
The enrolment of the course
dropped from $40 in 1928 80 to ISL
last year. Despite the slack regis
tration the war department report
ed that the unit was excellently
drilled. Responsibility for the with
drawal is that present bone Of con-
tention with the war department
attempting to have Oman make a
definite stand and the university
president manipulating to shift the
responsibility to military authorities.
Student interest is Indifferent to
the problem, but it is expected THAI
it may flare up if the De Paw, ad-

CUTWORk MOTIFS

When some form of needle
work enjoys popularity, there
is always a good reason for it.
Take cutwork for instance. The
most expensive linens in the
shops feature it; the thrifty
and clever needlewoman en-
hances her linens with it. Why?
You need only see cutwork on
a bed or table linen to know
the reason. It's rich beauty
it's simplicity of design makes
it a choice decoration. But the
most important f a cts to the
needlewoman are that it is
easy to do, being made of the
simplest of stitches-that it is
fascinating to watch the work
grow-that it is the type Of
embroidery that can stand end
less laundering and still retain
it's beauty.
