bad and something should be done
about it quickly" To this end the
council, which was formed to CO.
ordinate U. S. o. problems here, has
appointed a committee headed by
Mrs. Wilson Compton to study
means of relieving the housing
shortage.
Week End Demand Heaviest.
Some people have advocated the
use of churches and other halls here
for billeting men, but strict health
and Fire Department regulations

cording to an official ofpone. agency.
All admit the problem is compli-
Gated by the fact the strain on
existing facilities is felt only on
week ends. Only about 10 to 20 per
cent of Saturday registry is re-
corded by the three agencies during
the week.
Fraser S. Gardner, director of the
Salvation Army, which operates a
U. S. o. club at 606 E street NV,
said they receive numerous requests
from men each Saturday for places
to sleep. I'VE treat them to a good
time, but then have to turn them
out on the streets" he commented
in pointing out the E street club
has no facilities for sleeping soldiers.
Every Saturday night, he said, he
accommodates several men at his
home because they can't find rooms
in the city,
Not Capital Hospitality.
'They come here because the Cap
ital stands for what they're fighting
for. And yet when the evenings
entertainment is over we turn them
out to sleep on benches. 1t
isn't Washington hospitality" Mr.
Fraser declared.
Mrs. Raymond Fowler, president
of the Soldiers, Sailors and Marines
Club, said that with the return of
warm weather additional cots are
placed in the courtyard, affording
room for another so men. She said
they average about ITS rejectees a
week end.

Parking Meters
Give Bargains
AT Alexandra

It's nice to hear that prices are
going down somewhere.
In Alexandria, Va, parking meters
on King street supposedly allow IL
minutes parking fors1 cent, so min
utes for 5 cents. ~
Occasionally, however. the spring
in a meter stores up too much recoil
and the lucky motorist gets so min
utes' parking for fifth of the nor
NAL cost.
A Star reporter discovered that
fact and noticed that most of the
other meters in the block had only
a cent deposited in them while the
Indicator showed that they had an
average Of 80 minutes parking time
left.
Ohcer Z. w. Smith, in charge of
barking meter service, said that the
meters ordinarily would give so min
utes for a penny only once every
hundred times they are used.
