DOWNTOWN PARKING
BAN FOR BALTIMORE
Police Commissioner Drafting New
Ordinance Also to Bar Horse
Drawn Vehicles.
TRUCK LOADING IS STUDIED
Proposed Regulations to Become
Effective June /.

EALTlMORE, May S.-Prohibiting
the parking Of automobiles In the
downtown congestad district and
elimination OF horse drawn vehicles
on some OF the busiest streets are the
outstanding features in 4 new or
dinance, which has been drafted by
missioner. which will be submitted to
Mayor Jackson for his approval.
The law becomes effective June !
and the police commissioner Will
make his report in time to give the
mayor opportunity to suggest revis-
ions before that date.
While Commissioner Gather would
not discuss his recommendations be-
fore he makes them to the mayor. II
is reported that they will include
the following:
Fixes ConEeSted District.
Establishment OF i congested dis
trict, which includes practically az
the downtown retail shopping dis
trict. .
Forbidding parking OF automobiles
anywhere in the congested district for
a longer period than thirty minutes.
Elimination OF horse-draWn vehicles
from streets except as such horse
these streets to deliver goods.
Consultation with merchants and
business men generally to learn the
hours at which trucks deliver goods
to their houses and at which the
trucks load at their houses for de-
livery.
Regulating traffic on these streets
in such Il manner as to permit the
receipt and the loading with min
inum tie-up OF traffic.
Parking Law Retained.
The present law prohibiting par.:-
ing Of automobiles in the congested
district between the hours Of 4:30
pm. and $50 pm. Will be retained
in the new ordinance.
1t is pointed out that II all-day
parking within the congeSted area is
forbidden, 1t will dispose of the ques-
tion as TO whether autonobilists
should be permitted to leave cars on
the streets all day with For Sale"
signs on them. Police Commissioner
Gather is known to be in favor Of
stopping this practice.

NO, 44-.A BLOWOUT

Smith was unusually interested in
the subject Of tires when he returned
from a short business trip the other
day The tires had been the least Of
his worries. but with the coming Of
a genuine blowout his mind naturally
turned to a consideration of the cars
rubber heels" He began by relating
his experience.
1T was easy enough to change t
the spare" he said, but ] didn't like
the idea of riding that lonely thirty
mile stretch with no extra tire in
case of another blowout or a pune
ture, so / stopped at the first garage
and tried to have it repaired. The
repair man was one of those old
timers who know the game from
to z. His views rather opened my
eyes"
Yes" I commented: II am wonder
ing if he told you that you carry too
much air in your tires"
About Tire Pressure.
That's exactly what he said, and
I was considerably surprised because
the factory instructions are to keep
the air up TO a certain pressure
seventy pounds for tires any size.
Every garage man has advised me TO
obey these instructions. And / don't
know how many times / have been
told that / would ruin the shoes II
didn't keep the pressure up TO this
point Now ! am told by roadside
repair man that the tire blew out be-
cause / took these instructions too
literally. He claims that fifty pounds
pressure would have been plenty.
II could have told you all that my
self" / said. But l knew you would
never believe me, especially when the
popular belief is to the contrary. Now
you have it from Il man who ought to
know. Did he explain to you why the
manufacturers mark their tires as
they do?"
lie said they make the minimum
pressure requirements higher than
necessary so that the average car
owner will always have enough air
in his tires It's like the batteries; II
the manufacturer warned you to fill
the cells with distilled water once
month You would attend to il about
every other month. which wouldn't
be often enough. So they tell YOU to
attend to the battery every week,
knowing you'll get around to the job
about once a month-which is Just

Car StoP'SignCan't

One DriUer Learns

Somewhere along the street car
line tho motorman had been given
instructions not to make any stops
until he reached a certain street He
was behind time. and that was the
only way to make 1t UP. All went
well for several blocks. until he
reached an intersection where folks
were waiting for q car. All OF them
stepped from the curb, fully expect
ing to be accommodated. At the same
time a motorist approaching from the
right assumed that the street car
would stop, and 80 proceeded to cross
in front of II. Well, the street car
stopped. But IL you had been riding
that it was stopping to discharge
passengers through the front win
dows. A. very serious smash up was
just barely avoided. But very inn
portant lesson was learned by all.
Particularly the driver of the auto
mobile He now has little motto
pasted on his windshield which reads

IL am driving constantly over
smooth city streets, the pressure
should be slightly raised. And IL the
roads are very rough ] should lower
the pressure slightly. His contention
is that many thousands Of tires are
ruined by car owners who. having
driven 4 long time with their tires
underinfated, suddenly decide to
swing over to the other extreme,
whereas a little discretion as to pres
sures would result In longer life for
tires and greater riding comfort.
'sAnything else?"
Nothing that / remember"
Well" ! replied. "he overlooked
the most important reason Of all. Soft
tires prolong the life OF the car. Hard
tires shake everything to pieces.
Which is Of greater consideration
your 5000 investment in tires or your
investment in the car? Don't run to
extremes and ruin your tires, but, On
the other hand, don't ruin your car py
trying to save a few dollars on your
tires. You will find that the old story
about wasting at the bunghole hts
the situation admirably"

about often enough. If they advised
car owners to keep the tires at sixty
most of the cars would be driven
with tires at forty. It's a matter of
providing for one Of human nature $
failings.
Cords and Fabrics.
Another thing he explained was the
difference between the imitation of
cords and fabrics. Because the foun-
dation of cords is of heavier and
stronger construction they require
less pressure than fabrics. Now with
the advent of balloon and balloon
type tires with their flexible walls
and low pressure he says we must
be more careful than ever of oyerin-
fation.
'Thiss repair man / speak of was
very much exercised over the matter
of overinfiation. He claims there is
too much talk about weakening the
walls of tires through failure to keep
the pressure normal. OF course he ad-
mitted there were definite limits I;
that. for instance, If the pressure in a
cord fell below thirty pounds there
would be too much strain on the
walls. though he has yet to see an
underinfiated tire blow out. He claims
that every time a motorist stops
Off with a Blowout he discovers that
the tire has been overinfiated. He has
seen comparatively new cords blow
cut simply because the drivers in

around eighty and ninety. His idea Is
to find happy medium and stick to
Il.
For Comfortable Riding.
For instance, he suggested that !

recommended pressure and then drive
over a fair to middlino road Ever 60
often he advised me to let five pounds
of air out of each tire until l find a
pressure at which the car just begins
to ride comfortably. Whatever this
pressure is l should stick to 1t. If

Examples Proving Value
of Silo on Dairy Farms

There are so many thousands Of ex-
amples which prove the value of the
silo that II Is difficult to select How
ever, here is one which should be con-
sidered by dairy farmers. Some four
teen years ago a contrasting associa-
ton was started In a county in a mid
western state. 1t was a new and
unheard-of work to most Of the farm
ers, but they braveIy went into the
enterprise and systematic report was
EePt=ef some 81 heFdszA4the=e at
the year a complete report was made
and In It q table was given showing
the profit from herds where silage was
fed and from those that did not re-
ceive sllage. The monthly profit per
COW In the silage group was 1922 ard
In the non-silage group was S2.95. This
would make a difference OF $29-O4 for
the silage COW above the non-silage
COW. or for a herd OF twenty cows the
increased profit In feeding silage
would be S580.S0 This saving was
made at time when dairy products
were much cheaper than they are to-
day. The saving refers only to the
milking herd. and silage was fed to
dry cows, heifers, calves, bulls and
horses.

NeeessarY MaterIaIa.
Protein Is Absolutely
Essential as Stock Feed

A certain amount Of protein is alb
solutely essential In cattle feeding
operations. Where alfalfa or clover
hay is the sole roughage It Is not nee
essary to use any protein feed. but
where alfalfa or clover Is fed In con-
nectiOn with other rOughages, the ad-
dillon Of pound Of cottonseed meal
per head per day Will reduce the cost
Of grains materially. If no alfalfa or
other leguminous hay is fed, pounds
of cottonseed meal per head per day
viii produce gains considerably cheap
er than in the case where none is
fed.

Proportion of Grain to
Feed Milk Cow Each Day

Cows giving less than a gallon and
a half OF milk per day need but little
II any grain in addition to alfalfa hay
and silage. Cows producing more than
this amount Of milk should be fed
grain in the proportion Of one pound
Of grain to each four pounds Of milk
produced by Ayrshires. Holsteins or
Shorthorns and one pound Of grain to
each three and one-half pounds OF
milk produced by a Jersey or Guern-
sey. A good grain mixture to use is
400 pounds corn chop. kafir chop,
ground barley or ground oats and
100 pounds Of cottonseed meal or lin

Warns Against Using
Imported Clover Seed
Experiments Show Many
Plants Winter-Killed.

Warning against the sowing OF i'm
ported red clover seed in Minnesota is
being given by Minnesota experiment
station meh. Their attitude Is based
on the results Of experiments starred
at University farm In 1922 when seed
ings were made with red clover, fur
nished by the bureau Of plant indus
try from leading seed-producing states
In this country and from all the for
eign countries from which seed is i'm
ported. The following winter was
mild, but despite that fact from 24.8
to 93.8 per cent OF the plants grown
from seed from Finland. Poland, Bo-
hemia, northern Germany. Holland.
Hungary, Australia, France. Wales.
Chile and Italy were winter-killed.
The plots from seed produced in Min.
nesota. Wisconsin, Michigan, Idaho
and Saskatchewan showed only S.3 per
cent winter-kiIling.
The stands on the plots where seed
from Wales, France, Chile and Italy
was sown averaged less than 20 per
cent in every instance, and no cut
tings OF hay were made" says A. c.
Army, who Is in charge Of farm crops
at the Minnesota station. where the
averaged from 40 to go
per cent, cuttings Of hay were made,
but the yields were small Where the
was 20 to 80 per cent
the yields were reduced materially"
Because Of the shortage of red clio
yer seed in the United States. the sup
ply being only about 45-per cent OF /
The normal, the importation OF large
Quantities Of seed from Chile, France i,
and Italy is forecast. None OF this
imported seed should come into the
northern tier of states" says Mr..

luced at home is shipped out until 1t is
