their tips are turned downward. Such
ears shed water better when it rains
and are usually drier than ears stand

harder to husk, and are more often
damaged. See that the husks are long
enough to cover the tip of the ear,

Approved by Traffic Experts.

Maj Pullman said he thought after a
warning being given for a reasonable
length of time there will be a general
observance of the regulation. Some of
the best traffic experts in the country,
he said. have approved the center park
ing regulation in this city.
The establishment of the center park
ing, the superintendent of police sug-
gested. mad been the means of keeping
the space along the curb clear for pa
irons o. business houses. and had done
away with the curb graft" as he re-
ferred to money paid for use of the
public street by owners of vehicles.
Then again, he suggested, the speed
on Pennsylvania avenue has been mate
rally reduced, and there will be no
more racing at thirty or forty miles
along that thoroughfare at night. 1t
also provides automatic safety zones.
Maj. Pullman said there are about
1900 automobiles in this city. and it
is necessary to make some provision
for parking them. In Detroit. he said,
trees have been cut out of public parks
to provide parking spaces.

Police Will Suspend Arrests
Pending Campaign of
Education.
MAI. PULLMAN FAVORS
ANY JUST MODIFICATION
Declares His Sole Aim Is to Dc Great
est Good to the Greatest
Number.

In order to give autoists ample time
in which to become acquainted with the
law governing the movements of vehi-
cles on streets on which center parking
has been established. more especially
that part which deals with the stop
ping of vehicles at the curbs, the Dis
trict authorities have directed a tenn
porary suspension of arrests and prose-
cutions. Maj Pullman, superintendent
of police, thinks a campaign of educa-
ton will acauaint drivers of vehicles
of the provisions of the law and make
it unnecessary to arrest any of them.
Signs are to be placed in positions
along such thoroughfares containing
the necessary notification of the regu-
lation, Maj. Pullman stated yesterday,
and he thinks that in short while the
drivers of vehicles will be willing to
observe the regulation and will not
look upon it as being one that is diff
fcult to obey.
For Reasonable Notification
Discussing the protest against the
regulation placing limit on the time
vehicles may stand at the curb on
streets where there are center parking
spaces, Maj. Pullman said he would ia
yor any reasonable modification of the
regulation that will improve conditions.
His object. he said, is to do the great
est amount of good TO the greatest
number.
He sad that on the south side of
Pennsylvania avenue between 9Th and
10th streets. where. he said, center
parking would hamper the business of
storage houses, such parking is not
permitted.
There is saTp.e space between the
outer line of the center parking space

rue, he said, to accommodate the fire
department and vehicular traffic gen.

self to be Interviewed
on Rebel Circuit.

Chief Bender has permitted himself
to be interview on the Federal
League. and it seems that the Indian
finds much to please him in the outlaw
circuit to which he now owes allegt-
ance.
"One Of the most impressive points
in the Federal League" declared
Bender, lis the clever. though expen-
sive, way in which this circuit is de-
veloping young stars in its own"
The redskin goes to some length
to explain this unexpected trait. His
idea, as gathered from his comment, is
that the outlaws are using the vet
Grams secured in raids on the majors
for the purpose of coaching and de-
veloping the youngsters, and that this
method is proving highly satisforctory.
The probability of aging players, who
jumped in numerous instances in or
der to get longtime contracts which
would prolong their fading careers,
spending a great deal of time in help
ing youngsters grab their meal tickets
Is little fishy, not to say piscatorial.
But Bender said it, anyway. He
also named some Of the stars for
whom. he predicts fame. Duncan of
Baltimore, Roush OF Newark and An
derson of Brooklyn, are among the
youngsters he mentioned All out
fielders are all good for daily head
lines next season says the chief.

Hughie Jennings, the manager of
the Detroit baseball team, is after
Wally Schang, the catcher of the Ath-

price for him. Jennings, it is limited,
would also like to have Amos Strunk,

Jennings. However, If Mack intends
to put schang and some of the other
veterans on the block we shall enter
with a bid. It will be bid of cash
or players, or both.
"schang is a good catcher, although
not as dependable as Schalk, of the
White Sox. Schang would fit in pretty

aggressive baseball player, good hit

Manager Darlington and his staff, as
