Underground Parking Urged.
BY Old Time Resident.


To the Editor Of The Star: ...
An old resident of Washington, I have
not long since returned to that beautiful
city after an absence of very many years.
In common with many other house.
holders I fnd the congestion of motor
vehicle trafic and street parking one Of
the chief drawbacks to happy existence
in the Capital. The unlimited parking
Of automobiles in the residential districts
during the hours of day and night is one
Of the chief annoyances Of the house
owner. He finds the entrance to his
dwelling blocked, not only to his own
car, but also to those of his friends for
long periods of time.
The majority Of the parked cars prob
ably are owned by those who cannot
afford, or who do not wish to afford the
expense Of current garage or parking
costs. Also. many of these cars are the
property OF people residing outside OF
Washington, but whose business keeps
them In the city for long stretches of
time.
What can be done to remedy the
congestion?
Doubtless this problem is receiving
intensive study by the District Commits
sioners. It would seem that much Of
the unlimited parking nuisance that
exists In the sections of the citys beau
tiful residential streets and avenues,
where are located many fine official and
private dwellings, arises from the grant,
ing Of permits for apartment and lodg-
ing houses there. Such congestion could
be partially remedied by careful system
of rezoning. but this would afford only
= partial relief to the city as whole.
Some plan is to be desired that will
at the same time relieve the private
householders the owners Of cars now
frequenting for unlimited periods the
curbs Of the public thoroughfares, and
provide the maximum Of space in the
streets for the circulation Of traffic.
Events transpiring in Europe are Of
intense moment to the people Of the
United States. It would seem obvious
that the initiation of measures for the
protection Of citizens against the con-
tinsency of possible attack from the air
would be 4 wise precaution.
The construction of >subterranean
parking areas sufficiently extensive to
accommodate the bulk Of the cars which
now line 80 many Of our streets at all
hours Is suggested. Such areas should
be constructed as adequate shelters for
the city residents in the event of raids
by hostile air forces. Low parking
charges and garage facilities would assist
in the financing of this innovation. It
IL further suggested that the above work
might be initiated in conjunction with
the "underpasses" for street railways
now being contemplated at two Of the
citys public spaces.
Might I bespeak the hospitality Of
your columns In submitting the above
suggestion to the consideration of your
readers? = HOUSEHOLDER.

The living room table had been

Nobody thought much Of it at
the time. Someone knew the Mex

sheep stationed on government
tract over there. Bill would come
for more help if the woman were
really in danger.
Buckshot taught Ellen how to
lasso a steer by the hind leg; or
rather showed her how to practice
it. He gave her some strong
pointers about keeping in the sad
die, too.
"Fergit whut you learned in the
riding stables" he counselled.

her alone.

that he would be delightful con-

BucKshot declared, brushing her
back.
She had more attention than she

she got back into the saddle I'M

She had uttered no word of ex-
PLANTATION. She had just stuck out
her dainty, dusty chin and resumed
her job. At first she had trembled
visibly in the saddle, and she had
to make II more attempts with the
rope before she finally got her loop
again on the steers horns.
