RETURN OF THE RUBBERNECK.
DEACE mas been signalized in Wash

tie haunt OF the rub5erneck-
Washington has long been one Of thu
greatest rubberneck towns in Amer
lea The rural American who has a
few days off and wants 10 take a trip
IS more likely to 60 to Washington
than TO any other city within any
where near the same distance Of his
home, because in Washington there
are so many things to be seen
OF course. New York has its sights,
and even Boston can boast a few: but
neither OF these cities has the numer-
Gus and easily accessible wonders Of
the capital
For the born sightseer there can be
no stamping ground equal to the cap
rubberneck can potter around either
OF these places for half a day, and see
something new and astonishing every
minute The National museum IS an
other strong drawing card. and the
Washington monument Is Just as good
a thrill as any skyscraper.
During the war. the rubberneck
business fell off to exactly nothing
Where formerly willing guide or a
peddler Of postcards stood. the trav-
eler encountered instead a policeman
OF a detective II he tried TO enter the
library Of congress with a clean collar
and e toothbrush in a straw suitcase.
he was suspected OF harboring bombs
and searched accordingly. And the
hotel clerk. instead Of welcoming him
like z brother, told him coldly that he
might get a room without bath three
weeks from the following Tuesday.
