Every Street a Garage

Washington has lately been plagued with great null
titude of suggestions regarding traffic.
Unfortunately few of these suggestions hold even the
remotes possibility of improving traffic conditions while
some of them seem to be designed to make an even
greater nuisance of the difficulty of either walking or
operating an automobile in the town.
1T HAS BEEN AND STILL is AMAZING THAT
SOME OF THESE NUISANCE SUGGESTIONS COULD
EVEN FOR A MOMENT RECEIVE THE INTELLI-
GENT CONSIDERATION OF MEN OF RESPONSE
BILITY.
But apparently every idea that is submitted to them
Is grist to the mental mills of and they feel they
must grind it,
Outstanding among the absurd proposals recently
sidered by Congress and by local officials is that
"park-ometers' be set up every few feet along the
City's streets.
The motorist wanting to park, under the pan would
deposit money in these meters, a given amount for
given length of parking
Wouldn't that be great and valuable contribution to
the traffic problem of the National Capital?
city which has too many automobiles parked all
II now would step out to encourage parking and would
literally sell parking space on its streets
Every street garage!
What advertising campaigns the different streets could
run in order to build up the patronage Of their respec
tive parking machines!
And we could add to the equipment Of our policemen
those little ding bats that street conductors to
hold their change.
scout car equipped with cash register, could
the downtown area making change for parkers who
have overlooked getting their nickes and dimes ready
before leaving home.
We could take everybody off relief and put him to
work checking the slot machines to that nobody tried
to throw the flag without putting in the proper coin
[Wed have to do something like that because Congress
would never give enough policemen to look after
them.)
THE MoToRIsT, WHOSE GASOLINE TAX MONEY
HAS ALREADY BOUGHT AND PAID FOR THE
STREETS, WOULD PROBABLY GET A SINGULAR
THRILL OUT OF BEING PERMITTED TO PAY AN
ADDITIONAL AND SPECIAL CHARGE FOR BEING
ALLOWED TO STOP ON THEM
That's only one of the ideas now considered.
We hope in the next few days to discuss some more
Of these products of the mental giants.

TANTALIZING

Now that the fishing season is
beginning, Representative Sam c,
MaSsingale CD Of Oklahoma, who
is one of the most ardent disciples
of Izaak Walton, is getting out the
old fiShin' pole.
From the time when the first
finnies bite, MasSingale spends all
his spare time on the river or
nearby Chesapeake Bay.
His friends, however, are of the
opinion that Judge MaSsingale will
avoid one form of diversion this
summer which he attempted on a
fishing trip last year.
Judge MaSSingale, Representa-.
tive John E. Miller CD of Ar.
kansas, and William Roy, assistant
parliamentarian of the House,
were on fishing trip, and at one
Of the village hotels they observed
a slot machine.
Judge Massingale wanted to see
how it worked.
He deposited several quarters
in the slot with no results.
He gave up in disgust.
Roy walked over to the machine,
said:
Judge, you just pull the
handle back and let it 90 like
this!"
Out flew "a quarters.
Representative Miller Sauntered
over to where Judge Massingale
was attempting to make the nickel
machine work without success.
He deposited a nickel and re.
peated Roy'S statement.
Out flew Is nickels.

THE MOSQUE
The Mosque is the prize gem in
Cordoba'S crown. Seeing it for
the first time, it seems a sort of
dream creation. This glorious
building dates from tho eighth
century, when its construction
was begun by the first indepen.
dent Emir Of the Caliphate of
Damascus. On its site once stood
a Roman temple to Janus, then
a ViSigothic church.
The original building consisted
Of eleven aiSleS crossed by eleven
others, a courtyard and the min
rab. In 1873 eighty pillars more
were added to the mosque, fol.
lowed by more aiSleS. The work
Of Christian worship was begun
in the fifteenth century. Later
the beautiful high chapel was
added.
Thus through the centuries the
Mosque Cathedral of Cordoba has
become one of the most curious
and one of the most beautiful of
edifices. The graceful aisles with
