Sixteenth Street Is
Born Again

dying.
The malady Democratic sim
plicity.' has the spacious thorough
fare in its tenacious grip. and before
nightfall, If the District Street De-
part works fast enough, the avenue
will be extinct and Sixteenth
street" will be born again.
District employees began the death
march on the highway yesterday.
when the street signs bearing the
dignified words. Avenue of the

The change is due to an act Of
Congress in inserting a clause in the
District appropriation bill shelving
the avenue and bringing back the
numeral title to the thoroughfare.

FOR The CHILDREN
East India Tipcat.

Every town bred American boy
knows how to play the time honored
game styled "dpcat." In England
also this famous sidewalk pastime is
vastly popular, and the historians Of
sport pretend to trace its history back
to early Saxon times. Few people.
however, are aware that tlpcat Is in.
dulged in so far east AZ India or that
the dusky urchins Of Bombay and
Madras are positive adopts at the
game.
In India tipcat is known az ''gul.
udanda"-that is, catstick. The little
Hindus or Mohammedans scoop out a
little hole In the ground. This hole IL
known as "gurchi," the cat or peg be-
ing gull" and the stick to strike with
''danda."
Players arrange their turns by a Hin.
du version Of the familiar ''eeny, NEE.
ny, miny. NO." Player No. 1 takes the
banda" and strikes the "gulli" (made
exactly like our cat) az far as it will
60. The opposite player takes the
"gulli' and endeavors to throw II. back
into the hole or "gurchi." If he does
hot succeed player No. / scores a point
and has another chance with the ''dan-
d." On the other hand, If he pops the
peg into the "gurchi' player No. is
put out, and the next in order takes his
place.

doll, one that stands firmly. Make for
her several chamois skin skirts of diff
ferent lengths, putting on the shortest
one first. Scallop the edges of each
one. The outer garment is university
gown, and the cap must match. Use
the colors of your favorite university
and tie tiny roll of parchment in the
dolls hand with piece of silk thread.
The gown must be long and full and
made Of any wool, silk or velvet goods.
The cap should have square top,
fastened to a narrow band. fitting close
to the head.
Whenever the channels skirts get soil
ed from wiping the pens on them you
may make new skirts, and your pen
wiper will always remain fresh and
pretty.

Poorly Paid Police.

The Paris police are poorly paid. The
maximum salary attainable by ''ser.
gent de vile" is $500 a year. In view
Of the high cost Of living in Paris this
amount is Inadequate to maintain a
family in any degree of comfort, and
the married members of the force have
frequently to supplement their income
as best they can. Some Of them earn
a few francs by working as market
porters during their time off duty
Others do boot repairing. and there is
one who does odd tailoring jobs. Still,
IN spite Of these hardships, there are
always plenty Of men eager to join the
force, about ten candidates being avail
able for every vacancy that occurs.
