Buys Corned Beef and
Cabbage; Nearly Starts Riot

When a flock of cops gathered at the
junction of Wisconsin and Prospect ave-
nues trying to line up a curious coIlec-
ton OF humans Of all colors, shapes and
sizes yesterday some folks thought it
was a foot riot. 1t wasn't
1t was just Lightning Mary"-that's
the only name she would give-celebrat-
ing the homecoming Of her soldier hus-
hand from the Mexican border.
Marching to Georgetown's only market
Mary dug down in her capacious hand
bag and brought the munihcent sum Of
H-S. Then with a naughty air. she pur-
chased corned beef and cabbage.
Hence the commotion.
