Secretary Ickes made his first offi- | eial inspection of the full United States Park Police force yesterday afternoon for the purpose, it developed, of stimu- | lating them to do a “better job” of enforcing local traffic regulations in | helping to make Washington a bit | safer for driving He didn't exactly lecture them, for | his words were more kindly than| eritical, but he did make some perti- nent suggestions, especially to the motor cycle corps, about being more on the alert for offenders Spring Bronze Weatherstrip 100-ft.Rolls Choice of Beautiful Colorings Sale of Men's DRESS SHIRTS “I'm not complaining,” he told \hr‘i 3>0° men as they assembled respectfully | before him in a semicircle. “You're Price doing a darn good job—but just do Monday it a little better. 69¢ “You are delegated to make traffic as safe as you can.

He re-| vealed that a recent ride around the Ellipse with Mr. Finnan, he counted at least 20 violations of “No Parking” signs, but said that no car had been | ticketed. Mr. Ickes' inspection of parking eonditions on the Ellipse, it was learned yesterday, have resulted in the issuance of new regulations. “Two hour” parking signs have been put on the outer circle where heretofore parking was unlimited. This was to stop a rather common practice, it was explained, of switch- ing cars from the inner to the outer circle after a few hours to escape tickets.
