The Parking Problem, an
Annoying One
By BILL PRICE.

The use of automobiles in Washington increases by
leaps and bounds, everywhere else How to handle
the problems arising from them becomes foremost In
every municipality, taxing to the utmost the intelligent
thoughts of every citizen of every expert in traffic
matters.
There is phase of the problem annoying
difficult, than that of parking in congested areas
Right now there is widespread complaint in Washing
ton the parking regulations but, in our street
problems few constructive suggestions offered
Criticisms free and incessant.
To the fellow who is trying to find place to park
his car it does seem that downtown Washington con-
tans nothing but armies of traffic signs differing
materially in their warnings in the squares. I'm
doubtedly it is confusing, irritating But yet the regu
laons have been worked out carefully with every pur
pose to act for the best interests of the community
Offhand, it would that traffic officers of the
Police department spending too much valuable time
enforcing parking regulations and that too few of
them engaged in running down the real menaces to
life in Washington-speed maniacs, whskey drinkers
driving their cars without full possession OF their
senses, and the Irresponsible careree individuals who
away from the eyes of traffic officers do about they
please. And then you're told that only comparatively
small number of traffic policemen equipped with
motorcycles and machines twohirds of the traffic
having nothing but ordinary bicyces-fne outfits for
chasing speedsters who have just down pedestrians
smashed other machines. But why not get swift
police machinesi
To all appearances the time limits for parking within
the congested parts of the city not liberal especial
ly the halfhour But the traffic expert will tell
you that many business strenuousy object to half
hour parking in front of their places seriously inter
ferng with the loading unloading of merchandise
the visitation of customers There is steady clash
between the interests of business and those of the
One busnss will object to machines in front
of his place. but will kindly drive his own around the
block and let it stand in front of another place.
All of which, with much else that could be said,
brings to the suggestion that situation which is so
annoying will have to be worked out later
along clearer, comprehensive lines, with revision
of parking regulations to meet conditions and
based upon fairness to all interests 1t may pay the
Commissioners to send good to different large
cities of the country for wide study of parking regua
tons and then have the Board of Trade, Chamber of
Commerce, Merchants and Manufacturers Association
City Club and other organizations to take the subject
up and make recommendations.

-HE better sense of the French
people is beginning to triumph
= over the war-bred hysteria.

thets and abuse by lUU per cent
prejudice and passion, just so sane
men in France are now able to write
and speak sensibly about the war
and the best way to settle the dis
turbsd relations of the victors and
the vanquished.
The sane men of France see clear
ly that the policy of humiliating
and exasperating Germany, and of
strangling German industry while
demanding huge payments, is an i'm
possible policy that will lead France
nowhere except to financial ruin and
possible overwhelming defeat at the
hands of German-Russian alliance.
We are glad to see the French
press regaining sanity, glad to see
the French government exercising
more common sense, glad to see the
Vivian Tardieu Foch combination
of imperialists and militarists losing
their hold upon the French people.
The path of reason and concilia-
ton and fair play is the only path
that will. save France. Only her
enemies, and not her true well-wish-
ers and admirers, can take any
pleasure in the saber rafting and
wash-buckling of her militarists,
aping Napoleonism and outdoing
German militarism at it's worst.
Twenty million human beings are
face to face with famine in Russia,
the result of scorching weather and
no rain. Also of the action of gov
ernments calling themselves Chris
tian in preventing Russia from i'm
porting goods and in compelling the
use Of Russian railways for military
defensives instead Of for carrying
food across that huge country.
Nothing more callous, cruel and
wicked was ever done in the whole
course Of human history than this
frightful starvation of millions of
helpless human beings because their
political and economic practices are
different from ours.
Wise craftsmanship would make
haste to succor these wretched mil
lions. Common humanity also die
tates that course. And so do the
precepts of the Christian religion.
Imagine, if you can, Jesus stand
ing guard on the frontier of Russia
and shooting at anybody whom he
saw carrying food and medicines
across the border to the sick and
hungry on the other side.
Sentimental writers have had
much to say about the woes of the
former Russian nobility. Tears are
shed over the terrible fact that
many of these once idle and gorge
Gus gentry have actually had to go
to work to earn a living. But we
see little said about the millions of
other Russians who cannot earn
their food because there is not
enough food to feed them all.
No government in Russia could
possibly have kept the people en-
ployed and fed, while the great
Powers were blockading all the ave-
nues of commerce and financing and
melting one war after another upon
a people long ago worn out with
their enormous sacrifices and losses
in warning for England and France
against Germany and Austria.
The offer of Henry Ford to buy
and complete the Government 8
nitrate plant at Muscle Shoals,
Ala, is a remarkable offer for a
private citizen. He proposes to pay
$5,000,000 cash for the plant and to

equipment at cost of $2S,0O0,000.
