What most people seek is plea
sure-not work. And in the seeking,
they generally derive more fun than
in its actual realization.
Pleasures differ just as all hui
man tastes do. A man with a wide
expanse of brow can live happily all
his life on literature, music and art,
but the ordinary human wants a lit
tie fun now and then.
There are several million varieties
of pleasure, and most of them are
harder on the system than work. II
men had to walk in the hot sun all
day pursuing the elusive golf ball,
the industrial commission would
look into their case.
A man will spend valuable time
and large sum of money trying to
shin up a mountain peak several
thousand feet high because he
thinks it is pleasure But if the eIe-
vator broke and he had to walk sew
eral flights of stairs, he would raise
terrible fuss.
Pleasure is anything you don't
have to do. Baseball is the greatest
sport in the world until you get
good enough to draw a salary for
playing, and then it is work.
Driving an automobile is pleasure
and some spend a nice pile of money
each year for the privilege, but any
taxi driver will tell you his job is
one of the worst in the world.
Some men find pleasure in a quiet
game of checkers and others in
reading the newest book on science.
Other men can not enjoy themselves
unless they have money on a game of
chance and others think it is sport
to watch two big huskies beat each
others faces into hamburg steak
Some men get their fun trying to
swim the English channel and others
by batting an innocent looking cloth
covered rubber ball back and forth
over a net.
Mems tastes in pleasure have
largely determined the progress of
the world. War was once a lead
ing amusement and watching
Christian martyrs devoured by wild
beasts was regarded as noble
pastime.
We are a bit more particular
now about our amusements, but
high salaried movie actors still
amuse US with stories that never
happened and probably never will.
and when a funmaker turns a gaso-
line tank into a 60-horsepower car
and goes like a juggernaut through
town at mile a minute, no one has
the heart TO lynch him because it is
his pleasure
When We can get our pleasure out
of driving rascals out of office.
swatting the law breakers and in
fHcting awful surprises on the suf
fering in the shape of good fellow
ship, you may be assured that the
millennium has arrived.

the death of Captain James F

President.
John F. Costello, national Demo.
cratic committeeman for the Dis
trict, stated today that the local
Democrats will gather early next
week to consider the question Of
the vacancy"
Politics Not Important.
"It is relatively unimportant as
to whether the successor of Captain
Oyster Is a Democrat or a Re.
publican. or a member Of any
party" said Mr.. Costello. 80 long

the interests of the people of the
District.

tween the bona.fide residents OF
Washington and those who may be
barely within the legal meaning OF

papers the names OF persons who
have lived here for a few years

Men like the late Captain Oyster
who was a native and lifelone
resident Of Washington-and Com

his entire business career here
since his young manhood--are the
kind that we want for the position.
No Set Policy.
Mr.. Costello called attention tc
the fact that while 1t Is customary
to have both of the old.line political
parties represented by the civilian
commissioners this Is by no means
a fixed policy because OF the nu
merous exceptions to the rule in the
past.

Mr. Costello stated his belief that
the new candidate should he identi

The names Of General William r.

today.

According TO a recent traffic
count. Sixteenth streeh during the
heieha Of the morning eush hours,
is the busiest street sin the world.
Anything thar III make that
traffic stream move faster Fl worth
thinking about. Not 2. bet should
be overlooked that WIN clio a min
ute or 30 OF tl1e running time

nue. traffic can get through that
place quicker than it does now.
Lost Motion.
We've often wondered why a
routing scheme coCldn't be worked
out that would let Sixteenth street
pcints-east traffic make a short
cut to the left Of the statue direct
to Massachusetts avenue. instead
OF swinging all round the circle,
the way it does now.
The inner passa ge-the road
way between the statue and the
east bunker, could be used for
this traffic, and the outer passage
for northbound vehicles. so thered
be no danger OF collision.
That would cut off a hundred
and eighty feet or so of irritating
navigation and relieve congestion
at the south sector.
Before The Wind-GOd.
We realize that the orthodox
way Of going around a circle IL
to the right.
Anyone who denies that relig-
ious tenet should be taken to
funny Tennessee forthwith and
tried before Bryan for hereSy.
If that happens to us Wen be
convicted sure, because we're an
awful hereto, and don't give
darn for the Sacred Cow. 1t looks
like sacred bull to us.
At Dupont Circle. street cars
run around to the left, and no
visitation of Divine wrath has
followed.
Whatever charm or ineantation
was used by the traction COM
pany to obtain absolution for this
grevous sin, ought to work as
we'll at Scott Circle, we should
think.
On the Right Track.
The street cars are confined to
tracks, and. maybe that's what
makes their left.wise passage
kosher.
But the Massachusetts avenue
traffic at Scott Circle could be
confined to the inner passage
which can be made one-way with.
out much inconvenience to any
one-and perhaps that would be
equally acceptable.
1t might be necessary to kick a
hole through the bunker opposite
the Massachusetts, avenue road
way. But II that will enable the
heaviest traffic stream in the
world to reach its destination by
running a little more than one
quarter around the circle, instead
Of a little less than three quar-
ters, the thing to do is kick it,
looks like.
A Holes Nothing.
What's a hole or so to the
traffic regulations, anyhow?
We pull that trip every morn
ing, nearly, and often wish we
could make that short cut when
we're a minute or so late, which
is every morning. nearly.
It's to be hoped that the Di-
rector will look into this and see
what he can do for us. That

COPENHAGEN. May 23.-Scien.
tific circles here today were not
alarmed by. the continued absence
Of Captain Roald Amundsen, hi
two airplanes and five men in the
Polar region.
Captain Godfred Hansen, we'll
versed in weather and sea condi.
tions in the north, said he believed
Amundsen and Lieutenant Lincoln
Ellsworth would remain in the air
as long as possible.
Amundsen's decision to carry
extra gasoline, rather than burden
his craft with radio apparatus,
makes 1t impossible TO determine
his success or failure.
1t would take at least ten hours
for news from the steamer Fran
TO reach here.
1t was the general belief here
that Amundsen and his party
reached the Pole successfully, OK
found an intermediate landing
place, or that they may have had
difficulty in taking off" after
landing.
