Remark Streets
For Parking

Parking laws will be observ-
ed by the public when the pub
lie is familiar with the laws, one
of the local police stated to us
yesterday when questioned re-
garding the partial blocking of
the streets by parking too near
the corners.
Until the streets are again
marked off, so that autoists may
know where to park and how to
park there will be confusion, he
thinks.
Since the new paving was laid
the uptown streets have not
been marked in white paint and
people have become careless in
parking. One car may be seen
parked at right angles to the
curb; another parallel with curb;
others will cut in toward the curb
from both right and left.
We are entering the busy
months of the year. From now
till Christmas the streets will be
more congested than usual, and
because of that fact the PARKING
laws and street markings should
be settled now or within the next
few days.
Until the streets are marked
off the police force cannot en-
force the parking ordinances,
Afterwards, the police will see
that these ordinances are OBJ
served by the public, and 90 out
of every 100 autoists will do
the right thing without being
compelled.

Mans New
Battle Cry

The movement in the East to
eliminate coats during the sum
mer time has gained some
ground, but men are slow to
take on such things, particular
ly in the cities. The weather
the past few months should have
given mans new battle cry a
great impetus. The Selma
Journal remarks that
The point is made that the
women never hesitate to "fall
in" with the most daring innova-
tions made in their attire and
that they would follow fashions
DEGREES to the cliffs Of Dover and
into the whirling sea if the mar
date should be given. 1t is urged
that men should also doff some
of their conservatism and throw
off the shackles of custom that
holds them like a wise to the
wearing of cumbersome apparel
that takes all the joy out OF life
and contributes to the spelling
of their tranquil natures. The
campaign, however, is young yet
and the outcome is awaited with
interest. If a worthwhile breach
can be made in customs ram
parts and few bold souls will
forget" the coat where. it was
never before known to be miss
ing, and will bear witness that
they were not chagrinned or NOR
titled because of their defiance
of the rule, then the movement
may reach a step forward.
Both men and women are
learning to dress with more COM
fort. Woman has shorn her
locks, shortened her skirts and
discarded well, some other
things.
Men should fall in line. Wear,
ing coats is nothing more than
custom and a rather heated one
some times.
Take line from the woman
fellows, provided you do not
live at Dawson.

Plahs for the expansion of air
transportation, at first sight seem
exempt from the chief cost of land
transportation.
On land, the heaviest cost is for
rlght-of-way, road bed and termin-
ais.
Railroads provide these things
themselves; automobiles have them
provided by the public.
Either way, we pay for them, in
rates or taxes,
The air, by contrast, is free.
But as soon as you begin navi-
eating the air Systematically, you
ind that much of the cost is on the
ground.
Landing fields need to be larger
than railroad terminals, with a crew
IN each, and night flight, without
which the saving in useful time is
more than cut in two, requires
the way.
IL effect, a transcontinental air
line requires very expensive land
road bed and upkeep.
Since air transportation, for
some time. will have to be subsidiz-
ed and since American politics re-
| quires trat subsidies be called.
by some other name, the high land
costs of flying may furnish the op-
portunity to do both.
Our habit of thinking with our
memories will also help. We re-
member that the government has
always maintained navigable
streams and lighthouses, for water
craft, and it will therefore require
no new thopght, but only memory
to grasp the idea of doing the same
thing for aircraft
Only call the landing fields char
bors" and, the signal stations light
houses" and the whole thing comes
within our familiar categories.
There may be no objection to the
necessary subsidies, if we call them
by these names.

SOFT F'EDAL, DAVE

By E. L. Thurman.
A poet stakes his reputation
To proclaim the irritation
Felft by monkey kin a thous-
miles from home.
But we do not like the flavor,
When he tries TO curry favor
With this woolly tribe by
knocking on his own.
Ere they feel so sore offended
They should think we have de-
scended
Only just a little way from
jungle stock.
If they cease this senseless chatter
And then reason Ger the matter,
They may get new reaction
and a shock.
True, at being good we've bust
And oftimes we get Disguised
At the way our upright people
stoop to act;
But in monkey man and lady,
Conduct we have seen quite
shady,
We have seen it in the circus
for a fact.
Do we Stay and kill each other,
Father, mother, sister, brother?
Thirst for blood is normal al
so in monkeys and in apes.
We, at least, have shown we're
willing
To put art into our killing,
And we save the cocoanuts to
go in pies and cakes.
Yes, this bootleg licker's awful,
Petting parties are unlawful,
And it shames us as we watch
the dancers shake;
Yet to swing from trees head
downward
With the vision pointed ground
ward
Is a sight designed to make
fellow quake.
But this thought and this reflec-
ton,
This acceptance and rejection,
May b. merely psychologist
bunk.

Whether man or wksthar woman,

Put On the Soft
Pedal, Dave

A mighty champion, WELD
ing pen rather than sword, has
arisen and, with loins girded,
marches forth in defense of hu-
mainly.
The apes, monkeys, and ba-
boons, through their poetic de-
fender, Dave Burkhalter, fired
broadside after broadside into
the ranks of mere man a few
days ago, in which the monks
entered a strenuous objection
to being dubbed as man
progenitor.
The faults and foibles of the
human race were numerically
exposed. The poet-laureate OF
the tribe which travels on four
feet and hangs from limb by
virtue of fifth wheel, tore man
from his pinnacle and cast him
in the dust. He who has oft
been pronounced as God s
greatest creation skunk away
with shoulders Bonded and head
bowed.
But, brother, take coruage. A
new champion comes forth. A
modern David, with sling and
pouch of stones. has arisen.
Never again will Friend Dave
be permitted to strut and swag-
ger. A foeman worth his steel
has mounted his charger and
awaits battle. Nay. he issues a
challenge and answers thrust
with thrust.
Small of statue, but mighty
in brain, this Modern David re-
plies to the Poet Dave. He adj
vises the apes counsel to stop
the senseless chatter of his
clients, the woolly jungle
tribe. Monkey man and lady
is accused of conduct quite
shady, among other things.
Our Modern David amidst
(and no doubt he speaks with
authority, that Ticker awful and
Petting Parties unlawful') but
by inference he suggests that he
who is without sin cast the first
stone.
We lovely, groveling two
footed humans are indebted to
another poet. DR.. E. L. Thurman
for the following able defense
and caustic reply to him who
represents the jungle world, for
he writes US as follows.
