Parking Patronage

..He. was parked between the.
loading platform and the curb at
Fourteenth and U for seven
minutes, your honor"
Defendant: There wasn't any
other parking place in that block
and had an errand that
couldn't wait. 1t was an emer-
gency case.
I'VE seen letters from the Traf-
fic Directors office giving special
and extra-legal permission to park
between the platform and the
curb because conditions were said
tn warrant it. l don't think there
should be any discrimination in
such cases-if one man is allowed
ia. park there because it's neces-
sary, / don't see why another,
should be forbidden.
IT Just feel that the thing isn't
fair and square, your honor, when
some people can park in such
ulaces and others can't"
"That may all be so, but you
are on trial now, not the traffic
regulations.
"Well, that one ought to be on
trial. The very wording of it is
discriminatory. You're not al
lowed to park between the plat
form and the curb when there's
signs up. That brings in too
much uncertainty-the regulation
can be changed overnight without
giving us the Today notice we're
entitled to. It's unfair, your
honor-that's my contention.
eat Sixth and Pennsylvania
Avenue you can park opposite
the loading platform, and that's
four times as dangerous as Four
teenth and u
"If you want to question the
validity Of the regulation, you
must bring the matter before the
court in the proper way. On the
facts in the case, l find you
guilty, but considering all the
circumstances. I will take your
personal bond no to repeat the
offense."

.sOld Ironsides," in all her tu-
nultuous career on war.swept seas,
never faced a heavier fire than the
hail sof pennies, nickels, dimes and
quarters which, according to all re-
ports, were falling today on the
desks of teachers and principals in
WASHINGTON schools--the contribu.
ton Of Washington school children
to the national fund for restoration
of the historic frigate. "Constitu.
tion.''
The story of the valiant ship :
the tale of how. when Americas
war spirit was dropping, she re-
vived the confidence of the whole
nation and struck fear into the
heart of the hitherto invincible
British navy by her victory over
the .sCaurriere,'' Britain's famous
fighting craft Of a century ago,
was told to the children at special
exercises last Friday.
They weer also told then that
they could add their mites to those
of hundreds of thousands OF school
children in other sections of the
country, to the fund to save the
historic vessel, now rottiing in the
Boston Navy Yard. Congress au-
thorized the restoration and gave
Secretary of the Navy Wilbur per
mission to receive donations to the
fund of 100000 needed to put the
ship in first-class shape.
More than $4,000 already has
been collected. Nearly all OF this
has come from school children, as
Secretary Wilbur decided that col
lection OF the fund could be used
as a lesson in patriotism, by present
ing the appeal principally to the
pupils in Americas schools.
Washington's public, private and
parochial schools joined enthusi-
astically in the movement.
The children are to bring their
contributions to their schools to-
day. They will not be counted for
two or three days, but reports from
several of the larger schools early
today indicated that Washingtons
children will not fall below the
mark set by the children Of several
other large cities.

mary system for party nomination di-
vides the impartial vote and increases
the power of an existing administra-
ton, with q controlled vote, to select
its candidates. A state, county or city
administration having large patronage
and large business contracts to give
always holds its interested vote for
its selected candidates.
THE primary system, therefore, is
responsible for election by parties of
some men whose chief act after cleo
ton seems to be to disorganize their
party and fights its policies. Again
in other cities the ballot is so large
that 1t is impossible for the average
voter to know anything of the char
acter, competency or attitude upon
questions of the most of these on the
primary ticket. He largely votes in
the dark for the minor offices.
ut is no answer to this situation
to say that corrupt organizations can
control nomination at convention
for less money than they can control
the primaries. This is questionable.
But they are much more certain to
control a primary than a convention,
the impartial portion of which can
unite intelligently in opposition. Again,
the fight in the convention of the
impartial and intelligent section
against the corrupt or controlled cam
didate better precipitates the issue
before the people in the election. The
opposition in the convention can al
ways be trusted to make prominent~in
a general election the improper influ-
ences which resulted in the selection
of candidate, while under the pri-
mary system 1t is only occasionally,
often accidentally, that the real forces
of corruption behind candidates be-
come known to the public"

watch with fob bearing the insignia
of the Independent Order of Red
Men. An overcoat on the ground at
