All.Night Parking.

One of the Police Court judges has
Just ruled that it is unlawful for the
owner of a motor car to park his ma
chine all night in front of his resi-
dence. This is opposed to a ruling
previously rendered by another judge
of the same court that such parking Is
permissible provided lights are kept
burning and the machine does not
obstruct traffic. If the later ruling
stands and governs it will be neces-
sary for the owners of some 5000 cars,
it is estimated, to find garage spaces,
that number of machines being kept
nightly in the streets. Obviously such
a necessity Is likely to entail much
hardship, as garage spaces are now at
a premium and the street-parking
practice in large measure results from
that condition.
It would seem that all-night parking
is, as a matter Of fact. largely ques-
ton Of the owners wish. Assuredly
there is no obstruction to traffic in a
car standing throughout the night
alongside of the curb, provided 1t is
sufficiently lighted. The only danger
is to the car, which may be damaged
by collision or by the weather. or
stolen. In a great many cases there
is no room for the building Of garages
on the premises, and in some neigh
borhoods the public storage houses are
at long distances. so that curbstone
parking all night is almost a necessity.
On the other hand, it is obvious that
If one person is permitted to use the
street for his garage others must be,
and 1t follows that in the case of an
apartment house, for example, the
street may be choked with all-night
machines, most of them beyond the
immediate premises Of the apartment.
In view Of the conflict of court de-
cisions this matter should be settled
by appeal to secure a determinative
Judgment. Certainly time should be
granted for the finding or providing Of
garages to accommodate the machines
that now are stored at night in the
streets.

Venizelos could not possibly return un.

quently 1t is already being urged that
Constantine ahdicats. He practically
founded his restored rule at Athens
upon the Asia Minor campaign. and
with its collapse he has lost prestige.
With the affairs in Greece, however,
the allied powers have no particular
concern. 1t is with reference to the
situation In Asia Minor and in Turkey
in Europe that they are now occupied.
Mustapha Kemal Pasha has suddenly
become a formidable figure. He has

of the greatest difficulties. surviving
a tremendous Greek offensive, with
skill saving his capital from
capture. and out Of the remnants Of
political Islam has created and sus'
tanned a government and now has re-
formed victorious fighting force and
driven the invading Greeks out OF
Asia Minor. Though not recognized by
the figment of Turkish government at
Constantinople, he is regarded by mil
lions Of Moslems as the true head OF
the state. He pretends to no sultanic
powers in the sense of being the head
of the Mohammedan church, but the
suggestion Of the evacuation Of Thrace
by the Greeks Is a strong indication
of his purpose to reunite the two
Turkeys If he should make such pro-
posals the allied powers will be in
difficult position.

Islam Resurgent.

Events in Asia Minor are developing
rapidly to q situation that calls for the
greatest care to avert a catastrophe
involving the allied powers and pre-
cipitation Of the old troubles between
Islam and Christianity. The Greek
army has completely collapsed and
has abandoned the field. The Turks
have advanced to the gates Of Smyrna.

Rail Strike and Crop Moving.

An imperative reason for the full
restoration of railroad service appears
in, the announcement from the De-
partment OF Agriculture regarding the
countrys crops. Calculating on Sep
tember l farm prices, the value OF the
important crops Of the United States
will approximate $500 100000. The
corn crop is estimated at s1.S01.900.-
900, the hay crop at S1,037 100000 and
the cotton crop, exclusive OF seed, at
1864. 400. 900. Wheat to the value OF
$72O, 500, 900 is reported. Practically
every crop is above the 1922 figure,
and most of them are above the ten
year average.
In terms of bushels corn, despite
detrimental growing conditions in Au-
gust. is now estimated at s2,s75,oOO,-
900. A large part Of this must be
moved from the farms. To do this will
call for a great carrying capacity.
Wheat will be even more insistent in
its demand for transportation, for
practically 100 per cent of this crop
is moved. and the greater part Of it
for considerable distances.
Yet with all this tremendous bounty
Of nature the railroads at this time are
in a depleted condition, due to the
strike. Freight cars and locomotives
are at low power. though shop forces
are increasing in number and eff
cheney and the rolling stock is being
correspondingly improved. Between
criminal interference. however. and
the lowered state Of the equipment.
both due to the strike, the railroads
are now incapable of handling this i'm
mense seasonal business with the ex-
pedition economically requisite.
The present estimated values of the
crops are based upon the possibility Of
marketing without delay. If through
inadequate transport the crops are not
moved there will be much wastage
through deterioration and much loss
of value through failure to meet the
market. Thus the strike may cost the
country in terms Of many millions in
addition to the cost already inflicted
through lost wages and lost business.
1t is daily becoming more imperatively
necessary to restore the railroad serv-
ice to its full capacity.

Awkward Dancing,

The New York convention Of dane
ing masters declared that feminine
awkwardness. rather than conscious
or Intentional indecency. is RESPONSE
BILE for most of the vulgar dancing of
recent years. The average girl"
said one expert. simply doesn't know
how to dance" and the cheek-to-
cheek business, the hugging matches
and other indelicacies are INDUCED
In to cover up deficiencies. The poor
dancer simply does the best she can.
There may be something In this
explanation. even though it cannot
account completely for the breaking
down of old-fashioned modesty in
the dance. If it is true. it points
the way to effective reform, in either
dancing styles or clothing styles.
Tell a girl that her clothing or
conduct is 'immodest" and II she is
interested at all she Is inclined to be
resentful and defiant. But explain
that 1t is awkward or ugly. and that
she is making a disagreeable spec
tacle of herself when she might make
q pretty and graceful picture, and
she may sit up and take notice-also
lessons. 1t is good business as we'll

The La Toilette Victory. /.

Senator La Follette's majority Is
notable and q record In Wisconsin for
size. 1t was obtained after q thorough
canvass Of the state, in which his
competitor for the senatorial nomina-
ton participated. The people. there
fore, went to the polls well advised
as to the issues and the candidates
and their decision is a plain indorse-
ment of the senator's recent record in
Congress and of his attitude toward
the national administration.
It was a republican primary and
the senator made his appeal as a
member Of that party. And yet the
record indorsed is that Of open hos
tility to republican policies in Con-
gress, while the senator's attitude
toward the national administration is
unfriendly in nearly all things.
The question will at once arise as
to what effect this signal victory at
home will have on the senator and
his course in the coming two years.
He is one Of the men to whom both
malcontents and democratic
malcontents throughout the country
are looking for advice and leadership
in the movement for the organization
of a new party in time for action in

This action is to be credited to pub
lie opinion thoroughly aroused. All
sections and classes responded. Wher-
ever the appalling story was published
indignation resulted, and demand
made that the fiends be tracked and
brought to justice.
At times it has seemed useless in the
case Of a mob to make such a demand.
Many were made, but nearly all went
unheeded. Mobs multiplied in number,
and their deeds increased In ferocity.
But. at last. publicity has scored.
Here is an instance where such a de-
mand, coming from many sources and
repeated many times, has conquered a

ment, and forced steps looking to the
