Plea for Parking SpaceI

Here's hoping the Connecticut
authorities will return a, verdict
favorable to Washington's hauling
men in the truck-loading con-
troversy.
It's hard for dyed-in- the wool
Free District agitator IL under
stand why we should go out OF
our way to have other States
make law for US. We had al
ways supposed that most Wash
ingtonians wanted them to quit.
For forty-five years, now. we've
been ruled by other States land
look at the fix we're in. Hitherto
the other States have thrust it on
us-this is the first time we've
gone out looking for it.
We might as well hang sign
on our coat-tails Please Kick
Me- and be done with it. only
Judging by our snow-filled streets
in winter and our bathing beach
less condition in summer, and our
tumble.down bridges and bunny
boulevards at all seasons, handed
to US by our rulers, the invitation
seems superfluous.
Connecticut's truck loading law
was made for Connecticut--a five
thousand square mile slice OF terri
tory with all sorts of geographical
road and hauling conditions that
don't need to be considered In
the seventy square miles az gent
~ rolling country that make up
the District.
A truck could run around
Washington for a week with less
wear and tear to it's brakes and
springs than a days journey
through the branch-off roads in
the mountainous northwest part
OF Connecticut would produce.
When the manufactures estab-
fishes the safe load for = truck
iii Connecticut he has those long,
billy stretches in view.
Why should Washington safe
load lava fortify itself against
mountains, when 1t hasnet got
cry mountains?
At this point, we really ought
to spring that story about the
construction engineer frae tn HE
lands o. Scotland who emigrated
to the States and got a job laying
out a railroad across a Minnesota
prairie. -,
Just see how flat the land
is" the company's president told
him, mo grading at all, hardly!
Vera weeI. Fine, ma doot
But whaur'll We put your tun-
nels?"
We're not going to tell the
story, because we don't know
whether it's true or not.
But since this proposition Of
saddling Washington with ia
mountain safe-load law. we're In
clined to think there may be
something in that tunnel tale.
We've never seen a record Of
an accident caused by overlooking
a truck. But it's matter of
simple arithmetic that IL the
average load per truck is reduced,
the number Of vehicles necessary
to haul the Districts food, fuel,
clothing and shelter must be in.
creased.
More trucks, more cost, more
parking space taken up, more
garage space to be provided,
more chance of collisions, more
drivers, more up.keep. And the
people of the District win pay
in the form of increased living
costs. which are already high
enough, and then some.
The directors office could
make a bigger hit with the pub
lie by converting some of Wash

celebrity arrived on the Scandi-
navian-American liner, Hellig
Olav, which locked at Hoboken
from Copenhagen. His name is.
Carl Andrae Brumme and his
fame arose from the fact that
at the age of two he had COM
pleted his transatlantic voyage
alone.
Carl was jaunty and seaman
like in an officers cap and sailor
suit, but nevertheless there was
a suspicion that underneath a
good many of his buttons were
safety-pins. From his lapel hung
a large baggage tag with his
name, the local address of his
parents and this inscription:
Il am an American citizen.

A reception committee, con-
