PARKING LOTS
FOR DISTRICT.
INVESTIGATED
Allen Group Scans
DirkSen Plan

The municipal parking lot plan
l-long-cherished dream Of Repre-.
sentative Everett M. Dirksen (R0
of Illinois - was a step nearer
reality today as members Of a spe-
cial committee appointed by Com
missioner George e. Allen met to
study the problem in all its
aspects.
Anticipating the first meeting
OF the committee, Dirksen last
night paraded the virtues Of the
clty-owned parking lot scheme be-
fore an appreciative audience at
a dinner meeting Of the District
Motor Club Of the American Auto
mobile Association.
PARKING METERS HIT
DirkSen said it was the city's
duty to provide parking space for
the taxpayer just as it supplies his
police and fire protection.
ParkometerS are no solution to
the problem, Dirksen added, and
was supported in this by Repre-.
sentative William T. Schultz CD,
of Indiana, who likened them to
"hitching posts" of the "horse and
buggy days" Schultz predicted
the public would demand their
removal after 80 days of trial.
According to terms of a bill
DirkSen is drafting for House con.
sideration, all day parking for not
more than is cents would be avail
able on the city-owned parking
lots.
He advocated exercising the
right of eminent domain to con-
demn land necessary for the park
ing lots, and asked that an inde-
pendant traffic division be set up,
because police traffic officials were
"set in their ways" in approach
ing the parking problem here.
NEW RULE HIT
Opposition to the new parking
restrictions was expressed by the
Keystone Automobile Club Off
cials in a letter to Commissioner
Melvin C. Hazen.
The restriction would prohibit
parking within SO feet of the more
than $500 intersections in the
city.
This would remove parking facil-
tiles for more than 10000 cars, the
club officials estimated.
Less than l per cent of all acci-
dents occurring in 1887 were due
to obstruction of view due to
cars parked at intersections, the
officials pointed out.

Following Justice Adkins ex-
planation, young Tippett made
his contemptuous report.

trees are blooming. New York penthouse dwellers,

expensive than real emeralds.
He says if you have weakness for real
emeraldS in spite of their cheapness you can
find out what your stone is by dropping it in a
glass cup of Glove and cinnamon oil. After that
the next step is very simple. "The boundaries Of
the stone disappear and its characteristics can be
studied without interference by reflections from
the facets" In stones not natural there is "apt
to be turbidity due to dirt and cause for suspi-
cion." Nice to know about emerald culture.

ANOTHER BIRD STORY

"A boys air rifle was blamed for
a wounded bird last week and but
for the fact the mother bird was
able to find her wounded young
ster, it would have persisted" Mrs.
Jack Casey said Monday at the
home where the bird Is GONZALES
cling.
Last week, as 11-year-old Patricia
was playing in the Park, she saw
the bird, with half its wing shot
away. Bringing the bird home in
a paper sack, Patricia and her
mother provided shelter for him.
Attempts at first aid were frustrat-
ed when he clawed off tape they
had used to mend the wing, but
he let them keep splints on the in
jured member.
But the most serious condition
was that he refused to eat. He
dropped, and even with an enticing
worm in front of him, refused to
eat.
Hardy had screen pen been pro-
vided for him, when the Caseys
heard scraping on the screen and
the chattering Of bird. Outside,
trying to feed the young injured
one, was a female bird. Just how
she was able to find the hospital"
from the Park is quite mystery
to the family.
Now the young one is gaining
strength. At first he tried to get
out of the cage, but he's quite con-
tent there now. In the evenings
the cage Is set outside, with the top
opened, and the mother bird Is bus
lily hopping back and forth provid-
ing worms. If cats come too near
the cage, she chatters noisily from
the tree tops. When members of
the family are there, she goes about
her business of feeding as If no hui
mans exist. She will perch on Mrs.
Casey's shoulder.
Each morning at five the injured
one awakes, sets up his noisy clam
or for food, begins his day with an
early breakfast.
