FAVOR SHORTER NAME,
Residents Suggest "Woody's Avenue
for Avenue of the Presidents.

'FWoody's avenue" has been suggested
as short name for what formerly was
known as 10th street, which is now Off
cially known as the Avenue of the Presi-
dents. There are many residents of the
city, it appears. who believe that Avenue
of the Presidents is too long a name for
any street. They favor shorter name
which will apply to the particular Presi-
dent who happens to be ii the White
House at the time. For instance, during
the administration of ct. r." they be-
lieve that "Teddy's avenue would have
been an appropriate title. bills ave-
nue. would have been the proper name
during Mr.. Tafts sojourn at the White
House. Now that Woodrow Wilson is
President they suggest "Woodys ave-
nue."
They believe the postmen will have no
difficulty in delivering letters addressed
to residences to "Woody's avenue as
shown by the fact that a letter address,
ed in this manner several days ago reach
ed it's intended destination. The letter
was received by Miss Jessie A Griswold,
who resides in the Kenesaw apartment.
1t was addressed as follows:
THE big apartment house on the cor
ner of Irving street and Woody's ave-
nue."
