II Is not suggested for a mo-

they may be) which have been con-

considered ultra pires, in the strictest
constitutional minds?''
The constant interference of London
in purely Scottish affairs is attracting
increasing attention. 1t was found. the
other day, that the capital of Scotland
was legally incapable of deciding for
itself what kind of tramways it was
to run in Princes street; an inquiry at
Scottish expense. by the English Min
istry Of Transport was imposed on
Edinburgh. The Convention of Royal
Burghs, which is the nearest approach
to a Scottish representative national
body, at it's last meeting in Edin-
burgh some days ago declared itself
by an overwhelming majority in favor
of the institution of a Scottish Parlia-

London. May -.
London must adopt American methods
OF parking motor cars. according TO s.r
Julian Ords, secretary to the Royal
Automobile Club. who has just returned
from a tour of the United States. He
visited Los Angeles and says he was
fascinated with the way everybody
there drives to the office and leaves his
car outside. as long as he likes, withoat
1t ever being stolen.
America Is no more moral than Eng
land in regards to theft" he said, but
there's a curious difference between the
two. III you we're to park cars in
London street they would probably dis
appear. The American system works
because Of the American conscience and
absolute necessity. We must move
toward IL in this country. We should
be allowed to have cars parked in every
London square. Here we must take our
cars TO a garage or put them in the
hands OF caretaker. but this Is a seri-
GUS Inconvenience.
