ECONOMIZE PARKING
SPACE FOR AUTOMOBILES
@. @. Fletcher, in Address, Elk
plains Plans as Used in
Other Cities.

Absence from the city and other en-
gagementS kept the Presidents club
down to a very small attendance at the
monthly meeting Wednesday. The only
question discussed OF the several sug-
gested was automobile parking. and no
formal action was taken. due to the
small number present. President G. G.
Fletcher. OF the fire Insurance under
writer's, who recently returned from an
extended trip in the west, submitted a
plan which Is In vogue In a good many
places, to economize parking space on
busy streets and at the same time reg
ulhte the position OF cars so that each
and every one may be moved out when
desired. This plan as described is ex-
ceedingly simple and equally as ef-
fective. II embraces the outlining OF
uniform spaces with white lead paint,
the lines extending for a short distance
out on the pavement. and up to the
curbing, Mr.. Fletcher stated that in
cities where this plan is used, motor
ists are very careful TO head in at the
right angle when parking, and to CEN
ter their cars properly in the indicated
space. He compared this practice with
the careless hit miss" system, or
lack OF system. which is conspicuous
ons Market, Broad, and other busy
streets In Chattanooga The local way
he said, not only. wasted space. but
often made II very inconvenient, II not
impossible, for motorists TO get out
when they want to. even II they have
used the proper precautions In parking.

DELIGHTFUL
Calomel, the Most Valuable Of
Drugs, Now Purified From
It's Nausea and Danger.
"Calotabs" the New Name.

EFFORTS TO SETTLE OIL
LAND CONTROVERSY
Suggestion That Mexico Elm
mate Charges Now I'm
posed for Rentals

Washington. Sept. 15.--U. N. So
When the Mexican congress finally de-
cides who shall receive the regular con-
gressional stipend OF 10 pesos a day and
gets down to business, II is expected
here that considerable pressure will be
brought to bear by Mexican leaders to
settle the oil land controversy. Strong
Influences will be exerted to have con-
gress abrogate the so-called Carranza
DEGREES under which the constitutional
provisions declaring petroleum the
property OF the nation were made oper-
alive.
II is suggested that the Mexican con-
gress substitute legislation which would
eliminate the charges now imposed for
rentals" on oil lands and substitute
either land tax or a production tax.
Gef. Obregon has declared that the
provisions Of the new constitution will
not be made retroactive and has also
stated formally that he now IL investi-
eating the oil land situation. The Car
ranza DEGREES were promulgated under
tho extraordinary financial power
granted Carranza and Il has been ru-
mored. from Mexico City that Provi-
sional President de la Huerta contem-
plated resigning those powers to con-
gress. Action by congress as indicated
therefore would give time for the Obre-
gon Investigation. Since Sept. /, when
tho Mexican congress convened, its la
bors have been devoted TO hearing elec-
ton contests. 1t Ia expected to begin
OF legislation Immediately
after the national holiday Sept 10.

DEVELOP ship
ROUTES TO GERMANY
Resources and Experience Of
Hamburg American Line
to Be Utilized.

New York.-Q. N. S)-"Germany's
economic door will be opened wider
through establishment OF her world
shipping routes than by anything that
has occurred since the armlstice," r. H.
M. Robinson, vice-president of the
American Ship and Commerce corpo-
ration, representing the Hartman
transportation interests, said today.
Mr.. Robinson is one of the active Of
ficials In charge Of reopening and de-
veloping Germen-American shipping
routes, as made possible by the twenty
year partnership of the Hartman corp
Grafton and the Hamburg-Amercan in
terests.
Briefly, what we plan to do is to
utilize the vast resources and expert
ence Of the Hamburg Americana line,
which was the largest single steamship
OF the American mercantile marine.
Germany Is without ships; America
needs the experience and organization
In modern ocean commerce provided by
the Hamburg American. line. United,
we should make good team.
I'VE intend to develop this new bust
ness gradually, starting first with
freight ships and then with third-class
passenger ships, which will be put on In
January.
1--WE believe that considerable
number OF Germans and Austrians will
Seck 10 come 10 America just as soon
as certain restrictions at present In
force both In Germany and here are
removed"
Asked what immediate effect reopen
Ing the German tradd routes would have
upon German-Amerlcan business, Mr..
Robinson said:
1.-THE low exchange value OF the mark
will hamper trade no doubt In 10 far as
German purchase of goods here 10 con-
cerned. But whatever goods Germany
may have or can supply to this country
there will be an opportunity not before
possible for marketing them"
Speaking generally, what effect will
the arrangement have upon American
ocean shippng?" MIR Robinson was
asked
ITO my mind II seemed that we have
the best opportunity in sixty years TO
put the American mercantile marine on
a Arm basis" he replied The United
American lines nre today operating 400-
900 tons of privately owned shipping,
and we have at present about 100000
tons OF United States shipping board
vessels
"There Is prospect. believe. OF our
organization having more tonnage flying
the American flag than any other con-
