15-MINUTE PARKING SUGGESTED - TO REPLACE DRASTIC RULING .Proposed Trafic Laws Considered as Stringent as in Larger Cities Where Reg~ {More Autos Expected on Long; aulations Better Suit Conditions. BY THEODORE P. NOYES. The new parking regulation pro- hibiting the parking of automobiles in the downtown congested section of the city, just announced by the Commissioners, evidently does not meet with the approval of either the motoring public or the mercl ants. While it is practically unanimously agreed that some remedy to the crowded conditions in downtown Wasl ington must be put into effect immediately, the same body of citi- zens who agree on this point are also qually emphatic that the new regu- lation is entirely too drastic. There are many good reasons for this attitude. In the first place. while conditions are undoubtedly in need of improve- ment. Washington is neither as large nor is traflic as congested as in New York or Philadelphia, rule is in force oniy on certain streets | and at certain times of the day. And, | where such al where they can leave their cars near- by, as the average automobilist will not leave is car outside of the con- - gested section and walk around to the various stores to make his pur- chases. Therefore it is easy to understand why the merchants were the first to protest the new regulation. < The new rule is designed to'do away with all-day parking or park- ing for an extended length of time on the congested streets. If the present law was enforced there would be none of that. Merchants Do Not Want It. The new rule is designed also to help the merchants in conducting their business. The merchants do not want it, and they have not minced | words in so stating. 5 ' Advocates of the new rule, when they ave found, and they are gen- erally not automobile owners or elsc are the happy possessors of chuuf- feurs, point out that conditions here { aro intolerable and that relief is nec- .

Book Tour would leave Boston De-} cember 7 has created considerable in- terest in motor circles. The first tour| left Boston last vear, December 8, and reached Miami December 24. Twenty- one cars participated in the tour, and the entire trip of over 1,800 miles was | negotiated absolutely on schedule. Every car made every noon and night control on time and reached the end of the trip ten minutes ahead of the schedule announced at the start.

Visitors to Yellowstone National Park, numbering 81,651 people, during the 1921 tourist season just closed again broke all travel records to America’s largest and best known na- were represented by creditable num- bers of motorists and rail visitors, showing the tremendous national pop- ularity of the Yellowsione. Though the total gain in tourists for the season is not lurge, the in- crease of 2,168 automobiles, carrying 54 passengers, is the outstanding feature of American tourist travel during the summer, which has been murked by financial difficulties and | other adverse travei conditions. The character of the travel to Yel. | Yellowstone tourists represent all classes of peo- ple, from every section of the United most summer resorts, States. with especially large repre- sentations from California, Oregon, Washington, the Dakotas, Illinois and | hundreds from Colorado, Kansis, Michigan, Indiana, Texas and Nebras- ka. The records show an increase of | more than 50 per cent in motor travel from all of the above mentioned states. Automobile Travel. The natlonal park service, fully an- ticipating the tremendous growth in automobile touring, was prepared to direct in the interest of safety the stream of motor cars as they toured the park highways, and accldents were rare events. The roads were constantly kept in splendid condition by many small road crews establish- ed, and sanitation conditions improved | as the motorists thronged the park. The greatest number of tourls| tering the park in a single d history of the Yellowstone, 1,659, reg- istered at the park gateways August 8, as compared with 1,498, August 2 0, and 1,255, August 5, 1919. Or s 'record-breaking day 308 automo- es, carrying 1,175 people, were checked in at the four entrances to the park, as compared with 273 automo- biles, carrying 947 people August 9, 1920. Rail Trav The leading entrance for rail tour- ists visiting the park was the west-| n, or West Yellowstone Park, Mont entrance, while the eastern or Cod Wyo. entrance led in motor travel, with ' the north, or Gardiner, Mont TRIANGLE MOTOR CO.
