sIxTY.NINE HARDINGS
IN WASHINGTON CITY
(By United PreSs)

Washington, March 26.-Boy,
page Mr.. Harding!
He's got mans sized job on his
hands, for in Washington's city
directory there are exactly SO Mr..
Hardings. Not only that, but the
Hardings occupy slightly over half
a, page in the big book of names.
The other Al possessors of the dis
tinguished appellation (for they
total 100 are women.
Included in the family are po-
licemen, firemen, nser0rmen and
clerks, timers, carpenters, chauf=
feurs and detectives But there's
only one president in the list and
he is the only one who uses the
prefix "W. G."
True, there is William P. G.
Harding, governor of the federal
reserve board, but this is the
closest approach to @'Warren G."
And there's a Mrs. Florence Har-
ding listed too, whose home is not
at 1900 Pennsylvania. She is a
clerk at the navy yard.
Still, considering, our bell-boy
has less Of a job paging Mr.. Har-
ding, than he did Mr. Wilson, for
the Wilson family occupies over
four pages in the directory, about
500 names.

last night at his office, but he was not
present at the time. AS on previous
occasions, his guests entered the back
way and proceeded to make them
selves at home, opening the drawers
Of the desks and scattering the con-
tents over the floor.
Apparently Mr.. -Langdon had not
left many things Of valuable nature
to suit his friends for they not only
invited themselves to his place of
business, but some one-whether or
not the same parties as the night be-
fore is not known-took a door off
Mr.. Langdon's coupe and replaced it
with an old one which happened to
be close beside the car in his garage
at his residence. Just what the OBJ
