The Davenport Democrat concludes
ssit is useless at this time to dwell upon
the inglorious chapters in the post
war story that have to do with the
failure Of the United States to take its
place at the council table and hasten
the return Of better days. The fact
that our unofficial representation has
included two cabinet officers and vari-
GUS other observers. experts and finan-
ciers, indicates we are seeking, II
somewhat surreptitiously, to do our

Curbstone Garages.

Washington's motor parking prob
lem is not confined to daytime con-
ditions. The all-night parkers present
an increasing difficulty. In some of
the residential streets of the city curb
lines are completely occupied from
corner to corner continuously after
dark, the driving space in the streets
being reduced to barely room for the
passage Of two machines. 1t requires
especially skilIful driving to negotiate
on account of this congestion of
parked cars. \ slight unevenness in
the surface, or the wetting of the
pavement, may cause u SidewiSe mo-
ton at a critical moment, with the
result collision. To find berth
room on one of these blocks in case
an evening call is intended is usually
impossible, and the caller must go
the brief time required.
The truth is that there are many
more cars in use in this city than
there are spaces for their storage.
lots and on the ends of lots, some
times two, or even four, cars being
accommodated in these structures.
But there remain many hundreds Of
machines literally without homes"
In some cases the all-night parkers
are pursuing economical lines. 1t is
cheaper to store the machine at the
curb than to hire a garage. In nu.
merous instances it costs not even the
slight expense of electric current for
signal lamps, for great numbers Of
machines are left out all night with
out any lights whatever, despite the
to regulations.
Here, then, is a city that allows the
free storage of cars during the day
in the downtown section and the free
the residential section. Is there an
other place in the United States, or
in the world, where this is permitted?
1t may be doubted. The streets Of the
Capital have become storage spaces
primarily and moving spaces second
arily.
If before issuing a license to a car
driver the District government were
to require proof that a suitable off
street space is available for night
storage, there would perhaps be fewer
licenses, which would probably not be
a bad thing for Washington. For it is
quite plain that today there are too
many machines in use here for the
accommodations for them.
A tremendous protest would be
raised if the owners of horses stabbed
their animals in the streets and stored
their carriages and wagons along
side the curbs, using for this pur-
pose a space of 6 feet or so of the
pavement for the purpose. Nobody
dreamed of doing so in former
times when horses were the chief
means of transportation. All-day
and all-night curbstone stabling would
have been decreed a public nuisance
and promptly punished as such. Yet
car-stabling alongside the curbs, day
and night, is the common practice at
present. 1t should be stopped. A rule
against the use of the streets for free
car storage, strictly enforced, would
stop it. Let the remedy result from
the necessity of car owners.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

The Oracle of the Hour.
The August sun sends out
An unrelenting ray,
And makes himself beyond a doubt
The topic of the day.

Nor what they draw them from.
I only ask in sad surprise,
What says the old thermom?"
care not for the tariff talk.
I care not for finance.
I care not for delays that balk
The gentle peace doves chance.

Across the sultry calm.

Newspapers Review Progress
OF World During Past Decade

Looking backward to July %, 1914,
one of the darkest days in world
history, the press examines the net
results of the 10 years Of extraordi-
nary changes that war has left in it's
wake.
Great nations have been humbled
to the dust and new ones have sprung
into being" points out the Baltimore
Sun, "for many the reasonable security
of civilized life has been transformed
to a grim, uncertain struggle for
mere existence. In the whole span OF
human existence there are few in
stances where a decade has seen a
greater shattering of cooperative
achievement than that now closed
But 10 years after the outbreak Of
the war the spirit Of reconstruction,
which means the spirit of forgetting
the past for the sake Of the future,
is making itself manifest"
Recalling "some OF the major ac-
compiishments of the years since the
armistice," the Chicago Daily News
maintains "the Washington disarma. isara,a.
and agreements to which 1t gave rise,
will rank high as direct benefit to
mankind as we'll as an earnest of
future and more comprehensive peace
and economy compacts. The organ
ization of the world court was a
mot able achievement and a landmark.
The Lea9ue Of Nations has survived
| various perils and has functioned
usefuliy though cautiously" and "the
decade has made q notable contribu-
tion by it's negat tive az we'll as by its
positive object lessons to the art and

national corporation"

ironically enough, in a conference of
the nations endeavoring, in the face
of great difficulties, actually to end
the war" continues the Lincoln
State Journal, but "out of the war is

| than the world had before seen, and
if one listens closely he can hear
across the roar OF warning factions
q rising note proclaiming the prin-
ciple Of good nature and good will

! Tho ten years, the Miami News
