PARKING CURB HIT.
EIdridge Defends New Law i'm Reply
To Chaplain.

Answering a letter from Lieut.. Col.
]. E. Yates, an Army chaplain, pro-
testing against morning and evening
parking restrictions in the vicinity
of Seventeenth, Nineteenth, + and G
streets. Traffic Director Eldridge to-
day appealed to the public to give the
new rules a fair trial.
Col. Yates wrote, in part. as follows:
'I feel it my duty to protest against
the unfair discrimination against all
Government employees in certain To-
calities where present traffic orders
forbid parking automobiles from 8 to
9:15 and from 4 to 6. 1t is common
knowledge that all these employees
must be at their places of duty at
o'clock each morning and cannot
leave before 4:30. Consequently. these
areas near Government buildings are
almost entirely unused for parking
throughout the day while other areas
are greatly congested."
Explained by Eldridge.
In reply, Director Eldridge said, in
part:
1.-THE reason for the limitation of
parking between s and 9:15 am. on
both sides of G street between Seven
teenth and Nineteenth streets, on the
north side of F street between Seven
C6enIH anu NllcIccIltH SlIccIS anu
the south side of f street between
Seventeenth and Eighteenth streets
during the same hours, was to enable
persons who have business with the
State, War and Navy Department,
with the Interior Department and
other Government departments in that
neighborhood, to find a place in which
they could park their cars while they
are transacting business with those
departments.
Shows Parking Space.
1.-The regulations on limited parking
on the streets referred to and the
two-hour limitation during the rest
Of the day, was very carefully worked
out after thorough investigation
of the situation existing in that neigh
borhood. There are a large number of
streets, within from three to five
blocks Of the State, War and Navy
Department, where hundreds of cars
can be parked all day long. These in
clude such streets as G, west of Nine
teenth; F, west of Eighteenth; E
from Seventeenth west; c street and
B street, also Seventeenth street, from
New York avenue south; H, and K
streets from Seventeenth street west;
Pennsylvania avenue from Seventeenth
street west; Eighteenth street from f
street south; Nineteenth and Twentieth
streets throughout their entire length.
There is sufficient space in the streets
which have mentioned to park thou
sands of cars and it ought to be no
great inconvenience to Government
clerks to park their cars in these
streets and walk a few blocks.

JAPAN IS UNEASY
OVER MILITARISM
GROWTH in CHINA
BY MILES w. VAUGHN
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

TOXIC, Dee. lG.-Japan is des-
cribcd as Every uneasy over the
recent militaristic turn of events in
China, hut "still optimistic' as to
the eventual success of the tariff
conference in Pekin.
Whatever happens, a foreign Of
flee official told the United Press,
the japanese government will main
tain its attitude of strict neutrality
toward rival Chinese factions. No
Chinese warlord need expect any
support, either moral or material,
from Japan.
Baron Shidehara, foreign minister
was described as viewing the pros
poets of the tariff conference with
''calm optimism. -
This optimism, the foreign office
spokesman made clear, is no. un-
tinged with realization of the dan-
ger of serious flareup in the Chin
ese powder magazine. It is based
largely on the growing power of the
Chinese masses, the spread of lib
era!ism, and a belief that war lords
hardly will dare endanger the future
of their country by deliberately re
buffing an attempt of the powers
to help the nation.

The important steps in canning may
be briefly summarized:
Clean and prepare the fruit or vege-
table.
Precook, parboil, or scald products
that require it. If the vegetable or
the fruit is to be peeled, dip it in
cold water after scalding or parboiling-
If no preliminary cooking is needed,
put it at once into jars.
Pack products in jars or cans that
will seal alright.
To jars or cans of vegetables, add
salt and hot water if there is not suffi-
cient liquid to fill the containers. To
fruits, add strip or fruit juice.
Adjust rubbers and tops of glass
jars or seal tin cans and place them
in the Gamer as soon as possible.
Process at the given temperature
for the required time.
Remove jars or cans from Gamer.
Seal the jars alright at once and
place them out of drafts. Cool the
products in tin by plunging them in
cold water.
Keep all canned products under OBJ
servation at room temperature for at
least a week.

The tendency to excessive forms ton

Safe canning requires careful atten-
ton to every step in the process. Only
clean, fresh, sound fruits and vege-
tables should be used for canning.
1.-TWO hours from garden to cam is a
good slogan. All material showing any
signs of spoilage should be discarded
for canning purposes.

how each product should be handled
through the canning operation. The
"hot-pack' method is recommended,
and the use of the pressure Gamer
with all vegetables except tomatoes is
strongly advised. The "hot-pack"
method consists of precooking the
product and then packing as near boil

Lye Is Very Useful to
Clean Washing Machine

One of the bugbears of the house
wife's washday is cleaning the wash
ing machine. The suds unites with the
free perspiration oils contained in the
pores of the fabric to form COM
pound insoluble in water. This de-
post, or scum, collects on the cylinder
and tub and is usually removed with
kerosene or cleansers. This requires
the removal and replacement of cylin-
der, which is q strenuous operation.
Cleaning the washing machine thor
oughly after doing the washing can be
easily accomplished without unneces-N
sary work. Drain the dirty water and
dissolve heaping tablespoonful of I've
in sufficient clean water to cover bot

minutes. Cleaning the washing ma
