Knotty Parking Problem Here
One of City's Chief Headaches
Solution Must Be Found
If Capitals Business
Area Is to Survive
By Harlem james
Executive Secretary, American Planning
and Civic Association,

Executive Secretary, American Plonnins
and Civic Association.
We hear more about what auto
mobiles are doing to downtown
districts than anything else. We
are feeling the full pressure Of
the automobile on these areas.
If prosperous downtown busi-
ness centers are to survive, they
must compete with the many de-
centralized shopping centers
which offer ample free parking
space to their customers. Down
town merchants are we'll aware
of this and they are undertaking
to provide parking for their down
town patrons and branch stores
for those who prefer the neigh
borhood centers.
We have never really faced UP
to the economics of offstreet park
ing in the downtown districts. 1t
is manifest that no city can af-
ford to provide all-day offstreet
parking for car for every per-
son coming to business.
This problem in Washington, as
elsewhere, will no doubt reach an
equilibrium when whatever Off
street parking provided is put
upon an economic base.
rs Cent Parking Days Over.
In Washington we can all re-
member when we could drive into
a downtown parking lot for Is
cents a day and into a downtown
garage for $40 a month. Those
days are over.
One may ask, however, whether
q single layer of cars, parked on
the surface, with facilities for
entering and leaving, can be
placed on paying basis in the
most congested downtown districts
where land values are high. May
we not rather come to open-air
or closed multifoored garages,
which, whether publicly or pri-
vately owned, will pay their way?
In the end the amount of space
TO be devoted to offstreet parking
will depend on the number of car
owners who will pay what it costs
The proposal has been made in
Washington, as elsewhere, to pro-
vide garages under our downtown
parks. But if the cost of the site
the waterproofing of the levels
and the underground construction
of Lafayette Square garage, fol-
instance, were to be charged
against the parking of cars, the
fee would be prohibitive.
Let us rather build our under
ground parking spaces under
buildings.
Any drivers outlook for 1850
will be lot brighter if he's always
on the lookout.

U.N.'s Attack on Disease

Disease easily conquers man in much of the
world. The World Health Organization
(WHO), a United Nations Specialized Agency,
estimates that by far the greatest part of the
worlds population cannot resist epidemics or
even keep itself at minimum level of good
Millions cannot work because of malarial
infection. Venereal disease is all too common

Those facts are nowhere seen so clearly as
In crowded, varied Southeast Asia. To the
member countries of the Southeast Asia
Regional Organization of WHO-including
Afghanistan, Burma, Ceylon India, Indonesia
and Thailand-health problems are deadly

ground which shows how much the applica-
tion of modern, scientific knowledge can
reduce the supremacy of disease.

Medical teams have been sent into the
area by WHO, often jointly with the United
Nations International Children's Emergency
Fund, to spend few weeks or months
demonstrating health techniques, teaching
and healing With only small budgets, they
reported progress which would have seemed
fantastic so years ago.
Where anti-malaria teams have sprayed
DDT, deadly mosquitoes have virtually dis
appeared. Where anti-VD teams have given
examinations and pencillin injections, vene-
real diseases have been controlled Where
anti-tuberculosis teams have gone, thousands
have been vaccinated against the disease.
Where child health teams have taught
mothers, infant mortality has fallen

against disease has been won anywhere, but

man can conquer disease and point to opera

Judging A Restaurant

The customer is the best judge
of any restaurant as to its gen.
eral cleanliness and sanitary OPP
Grafton day by day. The following
is list of a few danger signs.
These signs listed came out of a
meeting of the National Santa
ton Foundation. Restaurant
people attended the meeting as
well as health experts and joined
in pointing out the danger signs
to be found in bad restaurants.
Here they are:
l. Greasy windows. A sign of
poor ventilation and sign that
fried food is being cooked at too
high temperature, tending to
make the food indigestible.
q Dim lighting, Often a sign
that dirt is being concealed.
g. Unsealed cracks in the floor
around booths. Excellent places
for vermin.
L. Cracks in cups and dishes.
Bacteria grow in these cracks.
5. Walters or mattresses who put
their fingers inside or around the
lip of cups and glasses. They
might as well stick their fingers
in your mouth.
6. Walters or mattresses who
handles knives, forks and spoons
by the ends that should only
touch food.
Z. Walters or mattresses who
neglect to wear hair nets or caps.
DO you want their hair to fall
into your food?
3. Dirty wash rooms. IF the
wash room is dirty, the kitchen
probably is dirty, too.
8. Dirty uniforms on employees.

New Oats Make
Good Cow Feed

New oats is a good late sum
mer and fall feed for dairy cows
says .Hoard's Dairyman. 1t is a
higher protein and fat content
than corn. However, oats does
contain less heat producing car
bohydrates. Since oats contain less
digestible nutrients, the feeding
value of oats is about 80 per cent
that of corn.
Illinois dairy specialists say
that oats will furnish nutrients
for milk production at about the
same cost per pound as corn.
A good summer ration for a dairy
herd might be made from $50
pounds of new oats, $50 pounds
of corn and cob meal, and 100
pounds of soybean meal. This
mixture contains about IL per cent
digestible protein. This is enough
if the cows have good pasture.
In addition, iodized salt should
make up one per cent of the total
grain mixture. The dairy herd
should also have plenty of clean
fresh water.
For most economical milk pro-
duction, the grain mixture should
be fed at the rate of one pound
for each four or five pounds of
milk produced daily.

IL. Pies, pastries or meats left
uncovered on an open counter or
shelf. They'll accumulate dirt and
possibly insect filth.
II. Custard and cream-filled
pastries not refrigerated. In all
seasons they should be kept cold,
because they can become excellent
breeding places for bacteria when
they are at room temperature.

nounced when ALLEGATIONS will be-
gin.
Since the end of World War
II, farm equipment dealers have
never been able to build up large
inventories of farm machinery.
There was a constant demand be-
cause of the war, scarce farm
labor, and high farm production
costs.
Although farmers may not be
able to get all the machinery they
want, the country's 10000 farm
equipment dealers should be able
to keep present machinery in re-
pair. The possible shortage of
farm machinery makes it even
more important that all equip
ment get good care and lubrica-
ton.

A Tonic for Badness and Life

After lavishing much deep thought on the
subject at two-day meeting in New York, 200
of our leading scientific specialists have come to
the depressing conclusion that there is nothing
absolutely nothing-that man can do to save
his hair once he has fallen victim to the balding
process.
Yet, as if to soften the blow of their findings,
the savants have not ruled out the possibility of
miracles On the contrary, they have counseled
the afflicted (among whom are many of them
selves not to yield to black despair. AS one of
them has put it, the principle all of us should
follow, even those with the most rapidly thinning
locks, is the principle of don't ever give up
hope" Tomorrow is another day. Next year is
another year Maybe, perhaps, conceivably-who
ows?-something may happen with magical
suddenness to cover the most denuded pate with
a veritable forest of hair.
And that Is good way to look at practically
everything. For whether 1t has to do with hair,
atoms Russia or peace, hopefulness is certainly
fine tonic. 1t gives lift to the heart. It
belongs by nature in the human breast. Without
1t, life would be hardly bearable. No one, bald
