 Take man from, say Oklahoma City, the city of dreadful rush. Ar irving at the Union Station, he is met by leisurely meandering sen segambian porter who slowly at taches himself to the westerners luggage and saunters into the con- course. The Oklahoman believes that the Public Health Service should be notified that the Union Sta tion is employing porter afflicted with the sleeping sickness. He final ly reaches his taxicab, however, and climbing into it he settles down for a long, slow ride to his hotel. The thing sarts in coughing and spit ting fit and suddenly leaps madly over the asphalt and, lurching and cavoting through the streets, lands the passenger at his hotel in record time.
 there IS some Of the real hustle Tn Washington and feels relieved. He has some time to mediate on his dis covery, however, because it is at least two minutes before the hotel doorman opens the taXicab door. The ,Westerner jumps out and hurries into the lobby. Locking behind he sees a par of bellboys, lazily smbling in- to the house with his grips. The ho- tel clerk finishes the conversation he is having with the house detective af ter while and finally asks in the newcomer wants. He registers and the clerk wells "Front." Another bel!hop dashes around pillar and grabbing the valieses of the WesterneT leaps for the elevator. The lift springs upward like a .skyrocket and the man is hustled to his room. He calls for ice water and waits thirty minutes for it's, appearance. By this time he is reduced to proper doclllty and decides that he will have to watch himself. At the end of the day he is jumping sideways to keep from flying and has ordered lubricating o.l and a coastsTbrake.

In his taxi- cab he sfrets and fumes while thei chauffeur 'passex the time of day with the crossing policeman. ',rhe taxicab moves away and after traversing a circuitous route lands him at his ho- tel at the end of three quarters of an | hour. He goes through the same be- 1 w1ldering experiences as the man from o. C.. More men come from four winds and have similar eXper- fences. After they have come to l Washington few times they begin to understand why it is that the man ia for government regulation of everything is so strong upon the lawmakers who have to make their res dence ill the capital city during jAe sessions of Congress.
 But the idea is not curtailed at manners and customs. 1t goes into everything. Architecture, for in- stance. Going up Sixteenth Street, Connecticut Avenue or any of the other fashionable streets of the city, the wis tors will observe million dollar embassy or some such pala- tial structure. He will think for an instance that he has at length reach ed a section of the city where things are what they seem. But then his glance will fall upon the tumble-down 
 negro shack which stands besides the million dollar marble affar, its walls of tottering rat-infested weather hoarding, leaning against the carved stone of it's neighboring structure.
 In music and art it is the same. Some yiol mist may educate hlmselE in Washington to the excellence in execution of a Pagannini, but upon appearing in recital will find that he plays to empty seats. Again, a mouth-organ performer from Annls- ton, Ala, W. Il come to Washington and be royalty received for his arts sake in the parlors of some diplomats palace.
