cars were parked nat to the curbing
He found that this produced the ut
most confusion when machines were
close together. as In in order for one
to set out the others had to move.
When the Mayor returned to Rich
mond he had arrived at the conclusion
that dag parking was vastly pre-
ferable to tho fiat system. although
the latter took up less street space.
Tho next proposition was to consider
whether to allow automobiles to back
into the curb or to nose in" The
Mayor gave this matter close attention.
but was early Impressed with the fact
that backing In OF an automobile has
much time is taken that cars behind
have to come to a standstill. He states
that on some occasions he saw automo
biies for 100 yards back, brought to a
stop and pedestrians prevented from
crossing the street. Accordingly, ne
adopted the "nose-in" plan as the bet
ter: Some opposition to this developed
and those who opposed 1t said that
while the progress of other cars would
not be impeded when autorists "nosed
in" to the curb the contrary would be
the result when the driver, on leaving
his position. would have TO back out.
In order to cure this objection the
city required that the burden was on
the driver leaving the curb not to
move from his position until he saw
the street behind him clear of ap-
preaching automobiles.

music is always in great demand among
young people and you would find in
several years that you were well re-
paid for the time spent in practice
and preparation. Another accomplish
ment which most girls overlook Is
cooking. Girls who can make really
