Smiling and happy, always
full of fun, never complain
ing when knocked about or
imposed upon by his little
playmates. Contented and
satisfied to be just a little
clown for their express
amusement. No matter what
difficult stunts he may be
made to perform he keeps ON
smiling. Never breaks any
limbs or gets out OF order.
This little clown "Tumble-
dun" is simply to embroid-
err and sew together, using
cotton for stuffing, which
makes him soft and kuddlv
for children to hug and
nothing to get out of order.

1t is natural that the sentiment OF

in the Dempsey-Carpentier battle.
One would naturally suppose that
the English fight fans would string
with Carpenter, the Frenchman.
They do.
Also you would expect to find n
Germans favoring Dempsey over
Carpenter. They do.
If Dempsey was not an American,
our sympathies would be with the
Frenchman.
War wove a strong bond of fellow

STREET PAVING
APPROPRIATION
To BE LIMITED
Not to Exceed $4,000 A.
lowed Last Year, Despite
Needed Repairs.

1t Is very probable that the sp.
preparation for repaving streets and
laying new streets in the District for
the next year will not exceed the
appropriate nthis year. This is the
sentiment expressed by many men,
bcrs OF Congress. Last year the
Commissioner asked for about $780,
900 for street paving and received
about $4,000. Since that time paw
ing costs have been reduced about
rs per cent, II is sadi, and with the
same appropriation more work could
be done next year.
The necessity for good pavements,
in addition to the civic pride that
would attach TO such a condition,
would mean the saving OF hundreds
OF thousands of dollars a year to
Washington motorists in the way OF
tires and mechanical equipment, to
say nothing of the saving OF temper
when a motorist hits a bump or a
depression in the street.
