Renting of Dress Suits
Good Business in Capital
By HARMAN W. NICHOLS
I'nited Press S:iff CorrepoDdent
WASHINGTON (UP) Some
odd things about Washington
For one thing, some 2000 rented
dress suits, dinner coats, and cut
aways are in constant circulation
in the capital.
This business is better in the
winter. But in the summer, some
senators and congressmen, who
are not used to dressing for an
evening out, rent the summer :
suits. A white coat, black pants,
and a soft shirt with studs, and
shoes and even a phony carnation
tor the buttonhole if necessary.
The price per coat, shoes or col
lar runs fur whatever the traffic
will bear. A coat may be $5 for
the evening, returned in the a.m.
A whole suit double that price.
With the flower pitched in if you
return it in the morning with coat,
pants and studs.
Do It Yourself
Time was around town when
three outfits rented evening
dresses for government gals, and
also the ladies of Congress.
All three went out of business.
It seems that the gals would run
down to the rent people, try on
the pretty gowns, and run home
and think it over. A lot of them
had' been trained in the needle,
thread and sewing machine busi
ness, and many of them went
straight to a drygoods store,
bought a bolt of frilly stuff and
showed up at a party with a dupli
cate of whatever looked good at
the rental.
Back to the men. One of the
renters has in stock, for instance.
pink shorties, like they wear In
Britain, with navy blue coats to
match and flashy sport shirts. All
for $13.50 for a weekend. There
have been no congressional takers
on this deal so far.
I got a lot of other information
from Eleanor Early. The lovely
Eleanor is an old hand at research
on such business in the capital and
other cities.

Suburb Installs
Control Device
CHICAGO (UP) - Suburban
Maywood, III., has become the
first community in the world to
install a new radio control traf
fic signal system which automa
tically clears the route for emer
gency vehicles.
Mobile radio transmitters,
mounted on each of the emergen
cy velucles. transmit radio signals
approximately one-half mile ahead
of them,
The radio signals are picked up
by special receivers connected
with traffic lights, which automa
tically turn red following a three-
second period of rapid flashing
amber.
By stopping a!l traffic at each
intersection along the route of the
fire truck, police car or am
bulance, drivei-s will be able U
muneuver at high speeds in re
sponding to emergencies.
V. Lee Cook, president of Elec
tronic Protection, Inc., Chicago,
manufacturers of the equipment
pointed out that the system warns
emergency vehicle drivers of oth
er emergency vehicles approach
ing the same intersections.
While traffic lights for four
blocks in advance of each emer
gency vehicle remain red in all
four directions, signals along one
route also flush yellow at the
same time.
Thus drivers of other emergen
cy vehicles proceeding to the same
scene are warned of oncoming
numbers aren't emergency vehicles crossing their
route at that comer.

are so important in combat that they have their own gas masks

Not; Responsible For Everything
SIDNEY, Neb. (UP) The mighty good country long before
ditois of the Sidney Telegraph1
recently published an open letter
to a stute senator who had said
(hat, due to rich oil deposits in
the area, Sidney residents owned
more Cadillac cut's than residents
of any other Nebraska city.
Admitting that wliat the semitor
said about the expensive cars may
be true, the editors denied that
oil was entirely responsible. The
letter read in rart:
'Ve had 'em (the cars) before
