PARKING METER TRIAL
ON ONE STREET URGED

A demonstration of parking meters
on one downtown street or in an
outlying district was suggested yester-
day by George E. Keneipp, manager
OF the Keystone Automobile Club, As
a means Of introducing the nickel
parking system to Washington mo-
torists.
keneipp said his organization would
not accept as final the recent decision
OF Congress banning the use of park
ing meters in Washington.
IT the meters can come in only
through the back door to prove or
disprove their worth, then let's at
least open the back door to them" "
Keneipp said.
He added that even a limited use
OF the meters would acquaint local
motorists with their use enough that
a vote could be taken to determine
whether or not "the man on the
street" actually favored or disfavored
the new system now being practiced
in several large cities.

It has also been discovered with

that nerves make use Of these same

rolled several layers deep around the

Value Of Polarised Light.
Polarized light, Prof. Schmitt ex-
planned, reveals details that staining
with dyes and other methods have
failed to see because the light leaves
a living cell or nerve unharmed.
Staining showed cells and nerves as
they looked after death had altered
their structures.
Polarized light is rays which vibrate
in only one direction. This kind of
light, passing through living tissue, Il
bent back and forth. The bending
enables biologists to deduce the shape
