Park Car Outside If You Motor To New York City Traffic (longestion There During Democratic Convention Expected to he So Great that \ isitors' Automobiles Would Jam the Streets Hopelessly n> J. C. ROYliE <Go??rtfM. 1924. By Th? New York. June 11?Traffic con gestion in Manhattan is so chronic al ]> acute ihat an appeal, "Pleaie Park Your Car Outside." is being broad ca>t to the thousands of tourists who are expected to motor lieiv during the National Democratic Convention. There are normally 350.000 motor vehicles in New York City and euough horse drawn trucks and car- ( riafivs to swell the total to neatly a half million. With thousands of electric surface cars operating, with superstructures of elevated railroads narrowing some streets, and with most of the city's 6.000.000 popula tion constantly going somewhere afoot, traffic is congested despite a rigid system of police control. Convention officials estimate that at least 200.000 persons will come to New York for the convention i by train, by boat, by automobile and even by airplane. This number does not. however, include 50.000 persons who. it Is estimated, will commute to I and from the city from within a ra-1 dius of 50 or 100 miles during the ?convention. "Our appeal," said Stanley J. Quinn. directing vice-president of the local non-partisan National Conven tion Committee, *'ia aimed at these commuters and the tourists who will j motor from long distances to remain in the metropolis throughout the convention. It will be absolutely Im possible for them to find parking space or garage room within easy walking distance of the Madison Square Garden section or. for that j matter, anywhere in central Manhat- 1 tan. "So the automobile clubs, transit: companies, police and convention di-: rectors have joined in this 'Park ? Your Car Outside* campaign. We want the tourists to come but we j want to make things pleasnnt for them when they arrive." All motorists from within com muting distance are being urged to park their cars near rapid- transit terminals in the residential sections. Whence they can ride by subway, elevated or bus directly to Madison Square Park, quickly and cheaply. Motorists from afar are asked al so to park In the outskirts, either in the areas at rapid-transit termi nals and police will stand guard, or in the numerous garages in the su burbs. Various agenclcs are work ing with garage owners toward es tablishing a fair price system of storage and repair charges, so that there may be no gouging. WHO LET RUPERT IN THE QUESTION And It's the Question That the Nation's C.lnhwomen in Session at Los Angeles Can't Answer. By FORREST WHITE C*liri|kl, 1924. fcy Tht Los Angeles, June 11 ? Bobbed hair, cigarette smoking, bathing girl reviews and censorship of the inn vies are all under the unensy lid up on which the resolution committee, of the General Federation of Wo men's Clubs is resolutely sitting, de termined that they shall not pop out to plague the biennial convention during its last week. But this is Los Angeles, the great headquarters of bobbed hair, cigar ette smoking women, uncensored movies and bathing girls who startle on and off the fllma, and nobody can tell what will happen a day before It does. Just to prove It, despite their well laid plans, somebody let Rupert Hughes in on the proceedings of the biennial, and the ladles of the convention had the unique experience of hearing themselves panned to a fare you well to their very faces by the novelist and maker of motion pictures. They could not have been more surprised or shocked if he had bit them all on the ankle, Rupert was sure savage. Now th?? question Is. who lot flu pert In? And there Is no answer. He Just happened. And so It may be with bobbed hair, cigarette smok ing and bathing girls, or some other equally Jazzy subject, but not If the resolutions committee knows Itself. From the first arrivals, the dele gates to the convention have been plagued with questions of what th?-y were going to do about bobbed hair, clgarct smoking, nudity and daring handling of sex questions In motion pictures, and kindred questions aris ing out of the age of Jazz. The del egates have responded almost to a woman that they were not golnt, to do a thing about Oiem. "We feel that any resolution against bobbed hair would be an In sult to the many club women who wear their hair that way," said the chairman of one delegation which was reported ready to stir up bobbed hair discussion. And without say ing so. the same attitude is h-Id to-, ward cigarette smoking. It lias per sistently reported that Mrs. Clayton I). Le?\ president of the New Jersey State Federation of Women's Clubs, will insist upon a resolutlou deplor ing "bathing girl reviews, beauty contests and all similar exploitations of pulchritude," Mrs. Leo slating that the "immodest display of phy sical charms by young girls is creat ing a false standard of values" and "in beauty contests their curves, their firmness, their suppleness, all are passed on by men Judges," and that the girls must submit to being handled by these men. But it now appears doubtful if the , matter will ever be brought to the ! attention of the convention.. | It was also thought that the cen sorship of the movies would not come up for discussion at the bien nial, but Rupert Hughes, a mere male, blasted such plans when he arose to speak to a large gathering of the delegates, and the storm over his remarks is still raging. Rupert enjoys the commotion. It's water on his wheel. In commenting on beauty shows and batjiing suits, he declared that the Immodest woman id the woman who wears stocking* at the beach, thereby advertising self consciousness, which he char acterized as only another name for immodesty. "Women have as much right to show their architecture as men" Mr. Hughes told the club women, look ing about him with a fleeting smile. "Any woman who wants to be a censor is not decent enough to be one. You club women and old maids of the male sex are forcing cenaor I ship. " (Jet old fashioned brooms, sweep out the dirt and filth of your : homes and make them more liveable j n?r the family. Motion pictures have | as much right to nudity as any ofl;? r i art. Women had better devote them i selves to tearing leaves out of the 1 statute books and make amends for i th?* many liberty and freedom limit ing statutes they were responsible j for." These and many other things j did Rupert say. No wonder they j are trying to find out who let him in. PHONE 114 Standard Pharmacy THEY WILL SEND IT.

June 11?The es tablishment of a Department of Journalism at the University of North Carolina with the opening of the fall term was announced here tonight following a meeting of the board of trustees. Gerald W. Johnson, at present; associate editor of the Greensboro Daily News, will be in charge. Mr. Johnson has had years of experience ; in every phase of newspaper work and is regarded as exceptionally well qualified to head the new depart ment. Courses in journalism have been given In the University heretofore under the supervision of the English department, but this Is the first time an instructor has been chosen to devote his \* bole tint?* to the sub ject. University officials feel that "the time has come to expand the instruction from an incidental activ ity to the xcope and dignity of a ?ep aro*" department." The first course in Journalistic writing in the University was taught by the late Edward Kidder Graham, at that time profrssor of English, j Among those giving courses since then have been Richard Thornton. A. C. Hlbbard and Louis Graves. Some of the- best known of the younger generation of newspaper men in the State 'received their elementary training here. Knox Hats S7.00 YOU know yon have the BEST.
