Carter Again Proves
Himself To Be
Ladies Man"

Public Printer George Carter
10 a "ladies' man."
He is for the ladies first, last,
and all the time. Not that he
is on the order of a matinee
idol or anything like that. But
he has proved his partiality for
the ladies on moro than one
occasion.
First he appointed as his
private secretary q woman, Miss
Mary Tate. He is the first
Public Printer to appoint q
woman to this post. And now
he is looking for a woman to
offer the position of superin-
tendent Of documents, one Of
the largest divisions of the
Printing Office. Mr.. Carter has
a woman under consideration
for this post. In fact, he already
offered 1t to one woman, who
turned it down.
Mr.. Carter was one of the
first to recognize "woman's
rights" in running a Govern
ment department and is con-
sidered the champion of equal
opportunities for men and
women in the Federal service.

WHAT is PARKING,

z. w. IRELAND, springs the ques-
ton, What 10 parking?" under the
traffic regulations. For instance, a
sign says "No parking" An auto
driver makes a short stop on business,
and IL pulled" Ireland maintains
that. according to dictionaries, the
stopping Of a lone car Ia not parking,
because Webster defines parking as
Ito bring together in a park, or com.
pact body; as to park artillery,
wagons, automobiles, etc"
OF course. the traffic police may
say that ole Noa' Webster can't put
anything over on them. and that the
man who refuses to accept the police
definition of parking will have to
stand the consequences.
When arrested for either parking
or sparkling. it's doubtful whether the
cop Is going to listen to Webster. II
that sort Of thing went. every chap

tionary In his pocket In place of the
traffic regulations.
