Parking Space in New
Federal Buildings

Among the numerous recommendations Of the National
Capital Park Planning Commission concerning municipal
matters that of parking space for automobiles in Federal
buildings in the Mall triangle is peculiarly apropos and wise
Despite the certainty that there will be most serious auto
mobile congestion in this region when the buildings
occupied Federal authorities in charge of the building
program have apparently dregaded all warnings and done
little to anticipate conditions In some ways their plans viii
actually interfere with automobile traffic in that part of the
city.
Federal authorities unmindful Of the general public,
should do something provide storage accommodations for
their employees the majority of whom would willingly
reasonable charges to compensate the Government for
additional construction costs
Unless experts badly mistaken the traffic and parking
situation in the Mall region will in few years, be without
parallel all complete Indifference to cooperating with
authorities who solve the problems that arise and
them too the detrment of the city and its people,
unless given Federal support.

I despise boasters.

I despiSe boasters.
I think they're a pest and a
bore.
I think that boasting is just
about the most stupid and vul-
gar act which the human ami
NAL can commit and I'm sure
that no thoroughly civilized, ma
ture person would dream Of
boasting. And yet
I'M ALWAYS BOASTING
MYSELF!
I'm always talking about the
interesting people I've met
the flattering remarks they've
made to me. Half of it isn't
true. And nobody believes that
it is true. And I know that no
body believes it,! Yet on I 60

ing to make myself look like a

Repeal the BOrland Law
Congress Trying to Patch 1t up for Further Activities

Congress- at request of the District Commissioners is
trying rebuild the much dsmembered and vicious Borand
law which has been shot pieces by District courts.
The Borand law is unworthy of restoration Some Of its
principles may be fair and worth keeping part OF the tax
system of the District but it conceived in dislike for
District taxpayers markedly unjust and should have had
it's knockout from the courts long before it did.
Congress may succeed in rebuilding this nquitous
and in making just law there is grave doubt it
be rebuilt that it will work justly by all taxpayers
This of those where the able legislative
charge might put what left of the patient out of its
misery and find equitable substitute

Decries Selfishness
Of Motor Age

Editor, Times:
No one can claim that selfish
ness is a new thing. Doubtless
the man of the stone age took
the good club himself and
handed the cracked one to his
friend. But it would sometimes
seem that selfishness is becom-
ing a bit accentuated in this
day.
Recently a college professor, I
believe, complained that he
could not hitch hike his way
along a great highway because
unthinking and uncaring mo-
toriSts placed his life in ex-
treme danger. Then comes a
gentleman in a letter to your
column who says let the col
lege professor get off the high
ways; the motorist pays for the
highways; let the college pro-
fessor and other pedestrians
stay home, or buy planes and
fly or do any other thing that
will get them out Of the way
of the motorist.
Well, I own a sidewalk in
front of my house for which I
paid. Through the courtesy of
the municipal powers I am al
lowed to believe I own that
walk if I keep my taxes paid.
I might go so far as to say
that the professor should keep
off my sidewalk if I felt like
parking a car on it. The pro
fessor does not pay any Of my
taxes. That would be extreme
selfishnesS, wouldn't it? But
would it be any more extreme
than the yellow motorlsC who
crowds a walking man on a
State highway, or the fellow
who says of his fellow man
let him get out of my way. I,
in my powerful car, am some
body; you out there on your
common dogs" are nobody.
If that spirit is going to grow
up between motorists and
pedestrians, there is going to
be something else that will need
a world court some day. But Il

BECAUSE I KNOW I'M NOT.
I laugh and smirk and tell
the fine things people have said
about me because, in my secret
heart, I'm frightened and tired
and discouraged and terribly
lonely. BUT I DON'T WANT
ANYONE TO KNOW 1T.
There's a queer sick pride in
me that fights against anyone
discovering my real condition.
I'm like a hurt animal hiding
in a hole. My boasting is notn-
ing but a great, hollow, echo
ing hole in which I hide my
hurt.
GOading Us Onward
If I were really happy-if I
were really sure of myself
wouldn't boast. I would go
quietly, simply on my way, for
getting myself, rejoicing in the
world about me. But the hurt
and weakness won't let me for
get. Always they goad me into
pretending I'm the thing I'm
not.
How clearly I see all this
about myself. How clearly
see the pitiful truth about my
own boaSting. AND YET HOW
RARELY I SEE THE TRUTH
ABOUT THE OTHER FELL
LOWS ROASTING!
In spite of my own loud
boasting, nothing gets my goat
like a boaster. When I hear
one I say:
What conceited ass! What
a fathead! Why can't he see
that he's making a fool of
himself? Does he think for a
minute that people believe mis-

Best Of Joys

It is the joy of him
Who beauty'S self desires
And through life's temples dim

And with his deft touch frees
His dreams to greet the day,

Take It From Eve

Many an ecstatic evening has
ended in a sigh Of relief instead
Of in a sigh Of regret, because
it lasted just an hour too long.
The beautyrbusiness thrives
on the triumph Of hope over
nature. Lots Of men are buy
ing Long Island country houses
and imported cars, because most
women are dissatisfied with the
shade of complexion and the
color Of hair that God gave
them.
When two people are in that
hazy glamour of young romance,
anything that has four wheels
and goes is "a car" to THEM.
Many say they hate painted
lips on a woman-but, you
seldom catch them kissing the
paIllQ ones.
A woman is always glancing
into mirror to see how charm
ing she is; but a man can get
the same effect by looking into
almost any woman'S eyes.
The worst complaint that a
woman has against divorce,
these days. is that it is no longer
smart or distinctive Almost
everybody either has one, is
getting one. or is contemplating
one.
Many a woman boasts about

Legion s AcClon
Editor, Times:
I have been a member Of the
American Legion for a number
of years, which was, indeed,
an honor and a pleasure. The
action Of the supposed leaders
of the organization at the
Boston convention. with regards
to the bonus, does not meet
with my approval and I am
certain that it did not satisfy
the majority of its members
who are in favor of a cash
payment of the bonus noW'
when we can use it to help US
get on our feet.
Common sense will tell you
that those at the Boston con-
vention were not a representa-
tive group of the American
Legion. They were men who
can afford a trip to any part
siOf the globe for their own
political benefits. A mere few
hundred dollars wouldn't make
any difference to them, while 1t
would put most Of the veterans
and their families on their feet.
AS long as the Boston clique
will continue to represent the
legion, this veteran does not
care to be a member Of it any
longer, and I ann positive that
thousands of other veterans feel
the same way about it. We will
enroll in a veterans organiza-
ton whose leaders will be real
representatives of the veterans.

|ENR0LLMENTS At j

Two North Dakota Schools Not
Losing Students Because
Of Economic Depression

Economic depression has not reduc-
ed enrolment at the University OF
North Dakota and the North Dakota
Agricultural college, according to AS
sociated Press dispatches.
The university enrolment Monday
was only eight less than it was at the
same time last year, according to
Frank Webb, secretary to the presl-
dent, while the agricultural college
enrolment Monday showed a gain OF
q over that Of the corresponding day
last year, A. H. Parrott, registrar,
said.
Webb predicts the university en-
rollment for the year will be about the
same as that last year. while Parrott
expects the state college enrolment
to show a slight gain.
Both Webb and Parrott said the de-
preston caused some students who, IN
more prosperous times, would enroll
in eastern schools, to attend schools
in the state, thus balancing the loss
in normal enrollments because OF BUS
mess conditions.
A reduction in the price OF room ane
board at the Minot state teachers col
lere from $24 to $40 month has peer
authorized by the state board OF ao'
ministration, according to Nelson Sau
