THEY'VE raised the rent" down
at the East Potomac Golf
Course. That is. they have raised
IL by cutting out hole on the five
mile course. But do they cut the
prlces Oh. not so you can notice ~
The fairways were too close to-
geiher on two OF the holes. 30 what
could be simpler than cut out one
OF thesnf Twas done. So now on
sunday. for example. you 1ay your
little fifteen cents for zone round"
which you can do in half an hour.
n you wish TO do the regulation
eighteen holes you simply multiply
by four. which makes IL sixty cents.
and add seven and a-half cents.
" they would sell you a hallway
ticket--and you have sixty-seven
and s-half cents for round OF
golf Not bad when you consider
the rack Is full Of bags and some
times as many as q hundred on the
on the larger course. This little
ground in line. waiting to get out
course catches the overflow. The
cruller situation is the same.
Three for ten cents and refusing
TO sell you less than that There 10
a proit Of about 100 per cent The
circus lemonade 10 still on tap at
ten cents a throw. in small paper
cups.
One of the smartest looking cars
in the District 10 that long. low
Lavender New 7os3l" you see noise
gessly slipping about town. On the
door of the roadster In small let
tiers you will see the inittals OF
\ d.. n.l
nrint-not the kind we once put in
the Juiep- when IL rolled out Of
the stoneleigh Garage Il needed a
wide alley. But the alley doesn't
matter now. Someone stole IL.
On a stroll up Sixteenth street I
came 10 l. street and there I found
my pet traffic aversion A truck.
seemingly almost a block long. was
parked crossways Of the street. with
its nose sticking out more than hair
/ way into the thoroughfare. IL was
I4:30 o'clock and the truck crew was
! talking at the little house the con-
tractor has erected near q new
building operation. Al that hour
Sixteenth street 10 crowded. This
parking of the truck MADE a one
way street for half an hour out Of
our main thoroughfsre. The truck
was empty and no need Of Il being
there. How about this sort Of
thing. Mr.. Headley?
DR.. J. NJ Ladd IL off again IN
The Swan" around 10 Baltimore
and up through the canal. then
along the Jersey Coast stopping at
Atlantic City. From there the doc
tor goes to Glen Cove. l. l. The
Swan" is a one-man boat but vii,
go most anywhere. according TO the
doctor. He got caught in that storm
on the night OF June IL. while off
the Jersey Coast with a tow. ami
he had the time Of his life making
New York harbor. NO more 80
those for me-" says the doctor. ''if
I can see 'em coming in time" That
was the Sunday night the first rain
storm of the season swept Washing
ton and killed several people around
New York beaches.
Miss Florence King. the only
woman who ever won a case befor-
\ the Supreme Court OF the United
States. was in town from Chicago
the other day on a patent law case.
She deals in that brand exclusively,
L
the Raleigh she told me the women
lin Illinois are taking up politics az
never before. In the Central West.
said Miss King. the women are out
for Al candidates on the tickets
The Democrats are making great
strides by putting women on their
lcommittees everywhere. and they
seem 10 be organizing for the fall
elections rapidly. As far as ] am
able to judge. the women do not
want or expect to run things. They
just want a voice. and in giving
them this voice the Democrats seem
to be in the lead. Everywhere I Eo
u find people talking about Mrs
oleson running for the Senate Ia
Minnesota" Miss King is on her
way to the convention Of tho Amer
lean Bar Association at San Fran
cisco. and will be one OF the few
women there.
IL you want to see SOMETHING
funny. stand at the Pan American
building corner some afternoon and
see the crowds from the Navy and
Munitions Building obey" the cop
on the corner. who does his best to
run traffic. The crowds pay sbs"-
lutely no attention TO him or his
signals. They walk crisscross and
every other way. Somebody has
painted long white strips on the
road with arrows telling which way
the autos should go. but Il does no
good as long as the people walk
against the come" and so" sign
Will somebody please tell me why
the pedestrian is not made TO obey
the traffic rules?
Ny idea OF nothing to do on a
beautiful summer day is to study
the origin Of the eel. What is your
idea of nothing to do Tickets To
the Polo Field for the best suEges-
tions.
