The Rock Creek Park police missed
one Friday night A hackers car
was idling through the park roads
with q pair OF people In the back
seat Of the closed car. The Riri was
struggling with the man while the
driver idled along, seemingly uncon-
scious Of what was going on In his
car. The odd thing about Il 10 that
these people do not wait for dark-
ness. The hour was s:so and hun
dreds OF motorists saw the antics Of
the pair.
It seems To be about time 10 c,e.n
up the parks Of this sort Of thinr.
The hacker situation should b
cleaned up and cleaned up risht- ANY
hacker knows what 70 going on IN his
automobile and must get q nice bonus
TO keep his eyes straight ahead. m
he does not know what 10 going On
he must be blind and deaf. and thsn
Of courBe he should not be allowed
to operate an automobile.
Parked right ahead OF me Was an
automobile with q family OF four IN
IL A little girl who must have been
about IL years old said: 20, look,
mother. what 10 the man doing7-
There IL q fine situation for one Of
the most famous parks In the coun-
try In the center Of the Nations Cap
ital.
This drive took me to walter Reed
Hospital. where ] heard a band con-
4
the administration building Of that
famous place. People sat about on
the grassy slopes of the natural the
| ater. while along the walks were boys
| In wheel chairs all bound In sticks
and bandsges.
On the way out Sixteenth street is
what will be that magnificent row
OF memorial trees on both sides OF
the long avenue. Over in the west
the sun was setting and away off
at the head OF the street. where Il
turns to run in back OF the hospital,
was an opening that seemed TO be
waiting for that great equestrian
statue of Roosevelt that has been
talked about. with such a memorial
on the hill at the head OF that street
and looking down through that ave-
nue. Of memorial trees toward the
White House. Sixteenth street will
be the most famous in the world
some day. Run out that way and
|; get the setting in your minds eye.
