CRUSADE ON POST CARDS NOW.


Those of the Suggestive Variety Are
Under the Ban.

A crusade against suggestive pictures displayed for sale in the windows and racks of postal card stores was begun yesterday by the prosecuting attorney.

Judge Ralph S. Latshaw of the criminal court agreed yesterday to issue orders to the county marshal for the seizure of these pictures, should the prosecutor request it.

The order was not issued, however, as the shop men agreed not to offer suggestive post cards and pictures for sale. Henry Jost, an assistant prosecuting attorney, visited six stores yesterday morning. The proprietors agreed to destroy all salacious pictures.

"Postal shops must keep their windows and racks clean," said Mr. Jost. "Unless the orders of this office are obeyed, the dealers will be arrested and their stock of suggestive post cards seized."
