ACTIVITIES Of K|DD|ES
TO BEGIN WEDNESDAY
Industrial Pursuits at Many Schools
and Opening Of the Play
Places.

Summer activities for the children
of Washington are to begin for the
most part Wednesday, Although the
city has no summer public schools
many of the activities which are to
start July 1 will partake largely of a
study character. Industrial work, gar
den work, reading courses and other
similar features will be started at that
time. In one or two instances work
has already been begun or continued
over from the school year.
Summer classes are again to be held
at the Grover Cleveland School this
year. The work probably will be along
lines similar to those of last year,
when the pupils were taught sewing,
carpentry and typewriting.
At the Other Schools.
Wednesday summer classes are to be
opened at the Chevy Chase School.
The work here is to be In part that of
the work done on the school play
grounds. Gardening will be one of the
stitution has a large plot of ground
around it. Plans for the opening of
these classes were completed at a
meeting of the executive committee of
the Home and School Association,
which is financing the proposition.
1t is possible that certain industrial
activities in addition to those of the
past will be conducted this year at the
Monroe School, where a playground is
to be conducted. The school officials
have the matter under Amusement, but
have reached no decision so far.
Libraries are to be conducted at the
Eaton and Hyde Schools this summer.
Books are loaned to these branches by
the Public Library, the librarians being
paid from funds raised by the parents
and friends of children of the school
Fairgrounds to Open.
In addition to the activities already
named. the school Fairgrounds are
also to be opened Wednesday. They
are to be conducted similarly to last
year, work being interspersed with
play. Many useful things are to be
taught the Riddles who visit the play
grounds.
Lack of funds has handicapped in
many ways the development of the
| summer activities of the District
! schools on many occasions Despite
this fact, however. much work has
been done which. according to the Off
thousands of children have made use
of the facilities afforded, just as it is
expected they will do this summer.

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
AT LAST FINDS A HOME
To Occupy Mills Building at 18th
Street and Pennsylvania
Avenue.

At last the Department Of Labor has
found homo and 1t will begin moving
July !, taking about a week to COM
plete the Job. Final selection has
been made Of the Mills building, at 18th
street and Pennsylvania avenue, recent
ly vacated by the Navy Department.
The Department of Labor has been
after this building for some time, but
has been waiting for an appropriation.
All of the bureaus of the department,
with the exception of the bureau of
labor statistics. now are located in the
Willard building. on 14th street be-
tween Pennsylvania avenue and F
street. The bureau of labor statistics
has been given a temporary home in
the building occupied by the Depart
ment of Commerce. at 18th street and
Pennsylvania avenue. But the room
occupied by the statistics bureau there
is now badly needed by the Department
Of Commerce for the location OF the
census bureau.

TO WAR ON PORK BARREL. +"
Rivers and Harbors Bill May Have
Trouble in Senate.

Another stumbling block in the path of
early passage of the appropriation bills
has appeared. Senator Borah has an
nounced that he expects to conduct a
Asht against the rivers and harbors bill.
the so-called pork barrel measure. The
bill as reported. to the Senate carries
about $4,000 600. an increase over the
House bill of about $10.OO0.OOO.
Senator Burton. another republican, al
ready has criticised the measure in q MI
nority report, and 1t was understood
today that other republican senators may
join these two. Although Senator Sim
mons. in charge Of the bill. probably will
be able to muster more than enough
votes to put the measure through, de-
termined handful Of opponents can give
trouble and cause delay.

Car,
Languidly Consents to Tell Reporter
Some of the Happenings
of Day.

In the elegant vernacular of the day.
she was dressed like a house afire, and
as she sat in the first seat of the Seeing
Washington automobile she looked like
a million dollars worth of ready money.
wrapped up and ready for distribution.
Like some other young women in Wash
ington, she sits in the front of the big
auto as sort of decoy. A bright young
man comes along and he says to HIM
self: Il will spend so cents and take a
trip around the city in that low-backed
car and maybe fortune will favor me
and this vision of beauty will give me
the gladstone Co.,
He always loses. because the vision Of
beauty gets languidly out of the car just
before it starts, and when the bright
young man can't escape unless he wants
Interviewer Is Repulsed.
She glanced up languidly as the inter-
viewer approached her.
IF you get fresh with me- she an
nounced. Il will call a cop"
The interviewer replied fevershly:
"A great and powerful newspaper
wants to find out what the rubberneck

the things them hints"
"What?" asked the interviewer.
Hints, she repeated, impatiently.
Amt you never heard of hints?'
Il presume said the interviewer, that
that is an abbreviation of the word him
terland.
Il dunno" she drawled, but believe
me, kid, they do get off some rich ones.
Climbs in While It's Waitin'.
There was a man climbed in this car
two days ago while it was waitin.
leave it to you. There are signs all
around this car sayin' that it's for seem
Washington. But did it bother this man
No. Stree! He climbed in and paid his
so cents and then after the car started he
says to the shower:
Put me off at 26th and NJ streets
And. honest, he got mad as a Dutch
man at prohibition picnic when the
showfer told him he had to stick on till
the end of the ride
She paused for a moment in thought
There was a nice old couple got on
here couple of days ago. They were
hints, too He had on a pair of boots
that was made out of elephants hide, l
guess. They was thick enough.
Just before the Car started he leaned
over and said to me:
Would you mind if l asked you a
question:
NO 1 says.
Me n my wife he says, wanted
to find out if we couldn't have the man
point out Jim Smiths house over in
Georgetown. We ulster know him. but
he's moved away
"'Can you beat it? Can't you see the
guide locatin' all the Jim Smiths on the
trip SOS they can find their man:
Certainly Was Poser"
Then there was guy that took trip
couple days ago, SO the guide told me,
and took look at that statue of Gen.
Jackson. You know the one, where the
horse is standin on his hind legs like a
circus pony.
THE hint that was lookin' at the statue
almost fell off his seat.
Gee he says. how do you suppose
he ever posed for that?'"
At this moment the starter gave the
high sign and the vision of gladness
slowly dismounted.
There sure is some boobs In this
world" she concluded as she started
away.

Community wanderlusters probably will
form a permanent organization on their
hike scheduled for tomorrow afternoon.
Frank c. Merritt, who is to act as their
leader: Walter W. Paige, who is to be
his assistant, and G. A. Gambs. who led
the last night hike and who has been
one of the foremost leaders in the move
ment for outdoor life. are expected to
launch the proposition when a halt is
taken "on the trail"
The organization, if it is effected, Is
to be rather informal one. One of the
plans suggested has been that a ''coun-
cil'' of twenty or more mixers shall be
chosen, two of whom will act in turn
each Sunday as leaders In this way, it
is pointed out, the responsibility of lead
ing the hikes will not devolve upon any
one person.
Careful Study of Routes.
The members of the council will map
out their roads prior to the jaunts which
they are to lead and then make certain
the roads are feasible. Excellent routes
in a variety Of directions are expected
to be found as the results of choosing a
council of leaders and thereby bringing
many more within the circle of active
leadership.
just what action the wanderlusters will
take, however. cannot be told until Sum-
day, when the proposition will be
placed before all lovers of the hikes. 1t
is expected. though, that those who are
DESTROYS of seeing the outings continued
will be highly in favor of organizing.
Five Miles Tomorrow.
The wanderlusters are to start tomor-
row afternoon on the minute of 80
clock from Chevy Chase Circle, and
will cover a distance of about five miles.
At the end of the first three miles the
party will be within less than a mile OF
the car line.
Leaders Merritt and Paige announce
that one of the features of this outing
will be the ''coatless brigade" The men
are urged to leave their coats behind and
to come out and be comfortable" The
walk embraces several springs, it is said.
SO that an abundance of drinking water
is assured.

TOO HOT To ARCUE,"
|SPLEA OF CONDUCTOR
But Woman Insists on Being Taken
Out 9th Street Before
Leaving Car.

Madam, it's too hot to argue" Two
bells were given by the conductor, and
the car started.
The foregoing took place on a crowded
District line car of the City and Suburb
an railway, as only such cars can be
crowded, hot afternoon this week at
9th and G streets northwest. The ar
gument between a woman passenger and
the conductor was the result Of tie-up
in the traffic of cars on street beyond
18th street northwest. Owing to the
delay cars were run down 18th street to
e. thence to 9th street and back again
to G street, where they proceeded out
to Maryland by the way of the City and
Suburban line.
AS there are cars on the 9th street
line which also go to the District line
some confusion was caused when per-
sons boarded the District line car of the
City and Suburban line when they in
tended to go out 9th street. In loud
tones the conductor. whose collar had
long before wilted because Of his work
over the delay in traffic and in his eff
forts to see that the railway company
nounced, This car goes to the District
line at Mount Rainier Possibly 1t was
the long wait for car that had made
them nervous. Or else they only heard
persons boarded the car, to later find
they were on the wrong one.
Wanted to Go Out 9th Street.
II want to go out 9th street." said a
woman passenger.
II called out that this car goes to the
District line at Mount Rainier" said the
conductor.
We'll. I don't want to go there; l want
to go out 9th street." said the passenger
Madam. do not regulate the route of
the cars. and therefore cannot take you
out 9th street." the colductor replied
While the passenger endeavored to per-
suade the conductor that he ought to
ia Ike her out 9th street the railway en-
ploy, in a polite but tired tone said.
Madam, it's too hot to argue
The passenger finally alighted from the
car and with two hard pulls on the bell
rope the conductor gave the signal for
the car to proceed to the District line
at Mount Rainier"
