REVIVAL of that time-worn
yarn about the farmer who
purchased the Washington Monu-
ment, may or may not be ap-
propriate at this time. Here is
a yarn that is not only appro-
pirate but is throbbingly timely:
The model home, built just
south of the Treasury for "Bet-
ter Homes Week." has been sold.
The man who purchased" it has
been sold also, but that isn't
funny at all, at least not to him,'
He was a stranger in town
and evidently was from one of
the back counties. Two dapper
young men met him on Pennsyl-
vania' avenue and the stranger
asked them a few questions,
which showed that he knew moth
ing about Washington.

RAILROAD PROBLEM
SOL WE'D BY EFFORTS
OF SHRINE EXPERTS
Aln1as Temple Trans
portation Commit
tee Includes Traffic
Agents of the Large
Trunk Lines.

" HE Shrine convention rail-
road transportation prob
lem is one of the most seri-
GUS that has faced the passenger
agents of American railroad lines.
The transportation committee OF
the Alma Temple organization is
made up OF passenger traffic
agents from all the larger trunk
lines of the country. These men
prepared to carry 10000 people
into Washington during the
twenty-four hours Immediately
preceding the session.
Approximately 100000 came by
automobile, boat or train before
the session opened. This left
more than half of the throng to
be brought into the Capital by
railroad during the last twenty
four hours prior to the official
opening. A mass of people equal
in numbers to ten war strength
army divisions had TO be brought
into the District of Columbia in
one day. over but three main rail
way approaches.
Though but ninety-nine Pull
man cars were parked in San
Francisco during the last session,
6SS cars of this type were used
to carry the crowds to the Golden
Gate city, Twelve hundred Pull
man cars have been parked in
Washington. If the San Fran
cisco proportion is carried out.
more than 1000 Pullmans win be
required to carry the crowds to
and from Washington.

CARAVAN BEING FILMED.
A motion picture was made of
the caravan on its eastward
jaunt-the setting the Great Out
doors, the actors not profession
ais, but men and women making
up the caravan, and local people
en- route.
James w. Brooks, Director Of
the American Highway Educa-
tional Bureau, of Washington,
d. c., travelled west some weeks
ago with Capt. McMahan, desig-
mating for the return trip some
of the most beautiful of natural
settings, that are expected to
thrill the caravaners and later
those who view the pictures as
they are exhibited throughout
he country.
Many cities and towns will for
the first time, have an opportun-
ity to display to the world,
through the medium of the NAM
moth motion picture, their local
scenic wonders whose beauty
had in the past been reserved
only for themselves and a few
annual visitors.
Civic organization heads are
being asked to furnish the cara
van director with detailed reports
on their respective communities.
The Shriners' transcontin0ntal
motor caravan has stimulated
reflection on the history of de-
velopment of caravaning.
1t is said that poles were the
first medium of transportation
of the possessions of tribes in
prehistoric ages. On these poles
were carried their skins. utensils,
etc, in their migrations.

There is no more important
duty confronting public officials
anywhere than the enforcement of
the utmost measure of economy
consistent with good administration,
wrote President Harding.
Continuing, the president wrote
that within the past few days the
census bureau at my request has
furnished some figures which seem
ed to him to impress as nothing
else could the necessity for the
most careful administration in
every governmental unit. They
state, for example, says Mr.. Hard
ing that revenues from all sources
OF the state governments in 1928
aggregated 1868, 100000 and in
1921, $956,000,000, an increase OF
161 per cent. Expenditures rose
from 1878, 100000 in 1913 to ST.
0G5, 100000 in 1921, an increase of
1913 per cent. Indebtedness in
cerased from $425, 100000 in 1913
to $1,012,000,000 in 1921, an in
crease of 1879 per cent. These fig
ures hardly require comment be-
cause they demonITatc 20 com
clusively, it seems to be, that costs
of state government are rising a.
rate which at least justifies the
most serious consideration.
Along with the foregoing data
regarding cost of state govern
ments the census bureau furnished
the president some figures on the
increase in cost of city govern
nents. These figures are based on
-he returns of the government of
227 of the largest cities in the
country. 1t is shown that for cities
n this group revenues in 1913 !,
to $890,00O,000, and inI
1921 $1,567. 100000, an increase
If 76 per cent For the same
group expenditures were 81, 010,-
700, 200 in 1913 and in 1921 ST.
100000, an increse of II per
cent. Aggregate indebtness of
1913 was $3,901 100000, and in
1921 $4,334, 100000 an Increase of
40 per cent, Mr.. Harding stated in
his letter.

of affairs and that he, too, is /

OUTSTANDING FACTS
ABOUT ROBIN HOOD
Film to Be Shown at Rylander
Next Week for Three Days
One of Greatest

Some thing of an idea of the
bigness and general scope of
Douglas Fairbanks latest photo
play sensation, robin Hood may
be gathered from the following
summary.
Hundreds of workmen labored
three months to build the sets.
This lumber, ii laid out IN board
feet, would cover twenty acres OF
ground; if placed end to end would
span distance about five hun
dred miles.
TIL kings castle set covers two
and one-half acres and is 310 feet
in height. The exterior is 629 teet
long.
There are eight castle towers.
If these towers were water tanks,
each would hold 276,O00 gallons.
The royal banquet room in the
castle is the largest room in the
world, being even larger than the
concourse cf the Pennsylvania
Terminal Station in New York City.
Every weapon carried in the
production was made entirely by
hand. There are 1000 spears, L.
500 swords, 1000 shields and 500
daggers.
An army of 10000 extra people
was employed in various scenes at
Y-.rious timec.
The prodigal use of handwork
on all effects in robin Hood" is
not a careless extravaganza, but
serves to illustrate the absolute
authenticity of the production, for
in the period depicted machinery
was little used, metals and almost
all materials being worked by
ham,.
Robin Hood" will be shown at
the Rylander Theatre on Wednes-
day, Thursday and Friday, June
10, Ia and Is and marks an epoch
al event for that poprjE tlay-
house. The production is consid-
cred the greatest of the year and
has been breaking all COX office
records in those cities where 1T has
already played.
