Washington, Dec. 24.-Secretary
Hughes today proposed to the dis
armament committee that the Unit
ed States and Great Britain cut their
submarine fleet to a total of 10000
tons. leaving Japan, France and Italy
with their existing submarine
strength. This was a concession
both to- Britain and to France. The
French delegates wanted revision up
ward which would give her submar
inc power equal to that proposed for
the United States and Great Britain.
The British delegates had proposed
the abolition of submarines entirely.
The new proposal would give France
a better submarine quota than the
old plan.

PARKING OFFERS NEWEST
MOTOR TRAFFIC PROBLEM
Universal Growth in Use Con.
fronts Cities.

Among the minor problems induced
by the rapid growth of our motor We
hicle registration. is that of parking
in our urban centers. Now that the
motor car has become an integral
part of our everyday life, it is inev-
table that II should be commonly
used in our daily affairs, as a means
of transport to and from places OF
business, for shopping, for pure
amusement. This being so 1t must
be possible for car owners to leave
their vehicles somewhere while they
are attending to the duties that
called them to the congested centers.
And this OF course means parking the
car while the owner is engaged on
his lawful occasions.
Now parking cars Unfortunately
in city streets long since became not
only a nuisance, but a positive dan
ger. An of our various cities have
established regulations which compel
car owners to leave their vehicles in
such a place or in such a position that
will interfere as little as possible
with traffic.
With the rapid growth of motor We
hicle population. it is going to be
vitality necessary that we learn to
study intelligently the various as
poets Of traffic, particularly as relates
to the urban centers. where conges-
ton already exists. In such commu-
mites as New York and Chicago the
present streets will be unable to &C
commodate twice the number Of mo-
tor vehicles now using them. This
urban traffic problem has one OF its
corollaries the parking problem. which
we must find way OF solving.
in different cities, because physical
conditions are different, Parking reg
ulations that solve congestion prob
lens in one city would tie up traffic
in another place. Nevertheless GER
tain cities have shown unusual
shrewdeness in formulating parking
legislation.

BRIEF ON TARIFF

Following its recommendation 10
Congress that tariffs on motor cars
and trucks coming into this country
should be reduced from 46 per cent

a brief to the House Ways and Means

The brief states the principles of

Poor Farm Has Lure
That Leads BrOIUnie
to FOrSake LUXURY

Few, If any, would want to leave a
fine home in the country and go back
to the poor farm, of their own free will.
But, then, "Brownie'-he might as well
be called that, as no one knows his real
name-is only a Scotch collie dog and
not given to making fine distinctions.
Several days ago Brownie" appeared
at the Marion County poor farm begging
a meal He stayed for some time. The
authorities did not care to have a ca
nine hobo-gentleman vagabond that he
was-hanging around, so they called up
the city dog pound. The poundkeeper
came and Brownie got a ride at the city's
expense
Being cooped up with lot Of other
dOggies wasn't so bad for Brownie, for
IT only lasted a day or two. Represen-
tatives Of the Indianapolis Humane So
ciety. recognizing what a fine animal
Brownie is, got him a home with a
farmer in Brown County and down to
the hills he was shipped
There were Dummies to chase and
thousands Of places to snoop into. but
apparently the scenery did not appeal to
Brownie because it was only a matter
of day or so until he came looping back
to the poor farm. History repeats it
self. The dog-catcher came and again
Brownie was earted to captivity
But Brownie was too fine a dog to
stay locked up long. The Humane So
ciety has procured another home for him,
this time with a Marion County farmer
and there he is today-provided he is not
on his way back to the poor farm.

The city was that Of 100000 for motor

These went to the Meyer-Kiser bank
without premium. The issue bears 81
per cent interest, while the track eleva-
ton issue bears 51h per cent, which &C
counts in small part for the greater at
Effectiveness of the latter issue. This, In
the opinion of City Controller Robert H.
Bryson, however, is not enough to &C
count for the greater demand for the lat
ter issue.
The offers Of the eastern firms, Mr.
Bryson believes, simply indicate that the
Fasteners have a higher regard for the
local securities than have some local
arms and those of other Western cities.
No local concern bid upon the issue sold
Monday. The only bid upon the motor
