Parking-Night and Day

Engineer Commissioner David
McCoach wants to ban all-night
parking of automobiles on the city's
streets. Commissioner Melvin c.
Hazen thinks such a plan would be
unavoidable for several reasons.
Traffic Director William A. Van Duzer
agrees with Commissioner McCoach
that such ban would be desirable,
but sides with Commissioner Hazen
that it would be impracticable at the
present time.
Colonel McCoach's suggestion is
ideal in theory and in line with court
decisions holding that streets were
intended to be used by moving We
hicles, not as stable yards" and the
new Engineer Commissioner is to be
congratulated on taking an active
interest In an important civic prob
lem that others have been inclined
to let slide from bad to worse. It is
obvious that if the streets were
"purged" of parked automobiles, by
day as well as by night, traffic would
move faster and more smoothly and
accidents would be fewer. AS Com
missioner Hazen points out, however,
there are serious objections to an i'm
mediate, sweeping ban on overnight
parking. There are not enough
garages or parking lots to accommo-
date all the automobiles which would
be forced of the streets by such an
order. Many car owners could not
afford to build garages or rent them,
and 1t is doubtful that space could
be found for many additional garages
IN the congested districts which
would be mainly affected.
District authorities have adopted
6 policy of gradual approach to dras-
tic parking restrictions, rather than
one, of wholesale prohibition. Slowly
but surely the streets are being re-
served for the free flow of traffic.
Some day-perhaps the sooner the
better it may be necessary, as the
Court OF Appeals said not long ago,
ITO forbid altogether the garaging of
vehicles On the main highways of
Washington city at any time, day or
night"
The immediate problem is daytime
parking, however. Aggravating tie
ups due to parked cars or the park
Ing OF cars are at their peak during
daylight rush hours, and it is during
this period that accidents are most
frequent. If there is to be a drastic
anti-parking regulation, let it strike
drst at the all-day or part-time
parkers on downtown thoroughfares.
A clearing away of parked automo-
blles during the day in the heart of
the city would ,ntail no such hard
ship as would be imposed on over
night parkers and might vastly i'm
prove traffic and safety conditions.
1t is to be hoped that Col. McCoach
will continue to take vigorous part
IN shaping public opinion, as well as
that OF his colleagues in office, to
deal realistically with the parking
problem.

The World Var Day. by Duy
November 4 1913.

November 4, 1913.
On thirty mile front from the Sambre
to Valenciennes, preceded by a devasta-
ting artillery fire, British attacked over
difficult ground. They met with formid-
able resistance, but gained five miles in
spite of it and took lie Quesnoy and
Heurtebise.
French and Americans forced the
enemy back behind the Canal des Arden
mes. Americans passed beyond stenay
and struck for Sedan. They got near
Beaumont and reached Vernieres. This
day the armistice with Austria began
and Germany was fighting alone.

Uplifting.

Uplifting.
He's cheeriest of all the men
You'll meet in several blocks,
And he is chiefly CHEEKY when
He calls around and knocks"
He says, Take heart and don't despair
And don't be looking glum;
You've had your share of doubt and care
But there is more to come"
He seeks you on your busy day
And sings his merriest song,
Your best investment will not pay.
Your hopes have all gone wrong;
But don't repine, although you see
Pandora's chest unlock.
Men cannot all be gay, like me,
With naught to do but knock"

gains ranging to more than 3 points

CHICAGO, April 4-The historic
Chicago Board of Trade was 80 years

at the foot of La Sale street.
Except for few flags fluttering on
the building that dominates Chicago's
financial district, the close of the
score years and 10 in the career of the
worlds largest market for farm COM
modties was almost ignored in the
city.
Grain merchants had little cause
for celebration. The most cheerful
talk heard on the trading floor was
that in 80 years the market has been
through many business recessions
Now there is another lull that con-
trasts striklngly with the hum of the
trading pits in 1887, when business was
brisk and smiles numerous.
A birthday party scheduled for Sat-
urday night was postponed until late
