Automobiles Kept of the Street in
the Line of the Parade Made
the Latter Much
Better.

The value of proper regulation of
the streets over which a parade passes
was demonstrated thoroughly last
evening.
Commissioner Kenny issued an
order keeping automobiles off the
route of the Victory Liberty loan
salesman parade which was published
orce in The Gate City of yesterday.
The result was that no automobiles
were at the curb, nor driving, in Main
street and the rest of the route, and
the people on the sidewalk saw the
parade in proper perspective which
added much to its impressiveness and
gave everybody an opportunity to see
1t.
1.-THE people who have been COM
planning of automobile hogs at public
demonstrations were thoroughly justi-
fed" said a citizen las might.
The universal compliance with the
order also indicated that the motor
lists have been more thoughtless than
mean in the past and only needed a
bunch to stop the bad practice.
