PARKING TROUBLES

To the Editor of The Times:
There is not much pleasure
to drive a car down town any
more. What can you do with
a car after you get down
town? You can never find
parking space-you just find
yourself driving in circles look
ing for space to park. If you
finally find a parking space, it
is marked one hour here and
one hour there or you will get
a ticket for staying in one
place too long. If not that.
someone will probably come
along and knock your tenders
off trying to squeeze in
small space in front or back Of
you.
In regard to the parking lots.
I think the prices are too
high. The amount of twenty
five cents is enough to pay to
park car at any time. They
are not responsible for your
car any way-at least, a num-
ber of the parking lots are not.

ROAD COURTESY

To the Editor of the Times:
AS long as this space is for
the use of those of us who

a yarn out of an experience I
had this morning.
Going out east Pennsylvania
Avenue, in my car, at rate
slightly faster than one should
to be technically correct in the
30-mile zone, passed a car. The
driver Immediately stepped his
car up to my speed. pacing me
only a foot behind the bumper
on my car. I thought that too
close for his own safety, and
Speeded up the car. He did the
same. On slowing down, he
drove up alongside and yelled
something which he thought I
should hear through his closed
window.
He asked me if I wanted to
be arrested for speeding, but
he certainly had no policeman's
uniform. He may have been a
civilian policeman-but if he
was I'm going to charge him
with reckless driving. 1t took
some fast foot work to keep
him from crowding me into
the ditch.
He had District tags on his
car. And the hunting jacket he
wore had on its back Mary.

1t depends on who's breaking

BOSTON, August A. Increased
Government spending and lending,
together with an expassion of private
bank credit, are the two causes named
by the United Business Service for q
rise in industrial activity during the
latter part Of August and extending
into September and October.
The Government stimulation will
be evident in many ways. More pub
lie works contracts will be allotted;
the Home owners Loan Corp. will ex-
tend credit in larger amounts; indus
trial firms will be borrowing from
the r. F.. C. and the Federal Reserve
banks, and the National Housing Ad-
ministration will soon be active" the
service states.
Low interest rates and huge bank
reserves exist. which will make pos
sible an expansion Of private capital.
This, added to the large scale Federal
expenditures, should bring about a
pronounced upturn in the capital
