Slowly but surely Washington
today is recovering from one Of
the most damaging snowstorms
seen in many winter seasons.
Encompassed in a mass of heavy
snow and slush, traffic is impeded
throughout the city.
Telephone wires have been blown
down in outlying sections and
telephone communication made
impossible in many sections Of the
city. The phone company has a
corps Of repairmen working madly
to restore its service to normal.
Street cars are back to a sched-
ule that company officials said
was nearly normal. Crews were
kept at work all night keeping the
right of way clean.
Railway Paralyzed.
The Washington and Old Domin.
ION railway is practically paralyzed.
Early morning trains have not yet
been heard from. Traffic is at a
Standstill and, with all telephone
wires down, company officials are
unable to locate the seat Of the
trouble. Three line crews are at
tempting to restore traffic.
Telegraph wires were among the
first to go down before the snow.
Caked with thick layers Of ice, the
wires went down one after anotll.

dubbed with flapperish emphasis "a
coward who is attempting to defame

Despite her tender years and
beauty, Miss Hamon, who was met
at her request by representatives of
