"On Sundays during the summer more than 800 automobiles pass the home of D. B. Gilbert on School street every hour. Hr.

 Many Playing the Game
 If one could know. it might be sur prising how many people spent part Of their Sunday counting the number Of automobiles passing a given point. l. has become a pastine in several walks of life among those who count time by counting and mark time by marking down the number of machines to the minute. hour and day.
 Automobile poker was a game Of the hour, and has passed out with man jonRg and pigs in clover. but the auto mobile counting pastime is now af its height One of the places devoted to this thrilling Sunday afternoon sport is the Arcanum Club piazza, where the members too young to play golf take 70 auto counting Ike bees to honey suckle. All arguments come to a sud den stop as each vehicle passes along Main street and the boys shout in uni son, "a hundred and twelve" or what ever number the car happens .o be. Really it is more exciting than a spell ing match and fl one shouts the wrong number there is near riot and mind bets fly about and millions of dollars are staked.
 4 Social Error
 On a Sunday afternoon not long age man passing by the club spoke 10 someone seated in a chair. IL was the greatest social error the gentlemanly fellow ever committed and he is on the clubs social register as boor. But 1t was unwittingly done and the man was only brought to realization of the transgression when the answer to his cheerful greeting came sharp and short-"We are counting the number of passing automobiles. There was a long line in the chairs. tipped at a 90 degree angle. IL is not known whether the we included all or not. but no other person on the piazza had the temerity to make further reply, as the embarrassed citizen passed on. no, even daring to inquire how big the mental registers had registered. how long the game had been going on. what the time limit was. or whether there was time out for eats If any reader happens to see a line on the club pi. azza on any future Sunday afternoon and see a man tiptOeing by. that's the man who came nearly wrecking 6 thrilling Sabbath p. m. for Areanum itas but who has learned by experience that talk, when the auto counting game is in progress. is about as wei come as on the first or any other. tee or in the middle of a penny a point game of bridge.

BUS TERMINAL
AGAIN URGED
BY. BELL
Engineer Commissioner Be-
Iieves Central Station Plan
viii Decrease Congestion

Dire need of a bus terminal in
Washington was pointed out today
by Engineer Commissioner J. Frank
lin Bell, who denounced the prac-
tice of bus lines in using the city'u
streets for. extended parking
+ Although the terminal is still a
castle in the air it was explained
that the case parallels that of the
modern international traction COM
panies. Almost AN the large Ea(st>
ern railroad systems grew out of
mushroom traffic. the Commissioner
said, and the same problem con-
fronts the District of Columbia.
Buses cannot be allowed to con-
tinue cluttering up the streets Of
the downtown section thereby rob-
bling citizens of parking space. de.
clared Colonel Bell.
Until the situation becomes so
acute that a terminal for buses
will become a necessity, no relief
is looked for by Commissioner Bell,
but he believes that the need for
central station into which buses
will run and will use as a point of
departure will soon be imperative.
He recommends the plan for an
office building as a terminal, locat-
ed somewhere in the center of the
city. with concessions installed for
1.-THE comfort and convenience of bus
riders. Such an organization would
not call for merger of the bus
companies but it would afford serv-
ice which is not now in existence.
Congestion is to be fought against
more than anything else, according
to Colonel Bell, and with busses
parked all over the city, utilizing
public space, this congestion is
rapidly growing worse. 1t was also
stated that in many cases it was
difficult for a person to locate the
bus needed for transportation.
schedules Of buses are at present
indefinitely fixed and such in.
formation is hard to procure, it was

In ancient China there were
neither horses nor oxen. And

the only large dogs were elbows.

heavy work. So teams of pigs

The Chinese peddlers. on ap-
preaching a town, pulled on
cords attached to the tails OF
the pigs; and squeals arose
that were heard for miles and
brought out the buyers.
The pigs threats were kept
well fabricated with glycer1ne
and sweetened water, in order
that the squeals or whistles
might be powerful. That is
where the term ''wetting the
whistle" originated.
A Chinese pig always squeals
on the same note. Each pig
has it's own individual note
some pigs squeai at a very low
pitch-others are very shrill.
Therefore, one enterprising
peddler named Fur Long spent
years in getting together a
team of ~ pigs whose squeals
were SO pitched that they made
a full octave, together with
four intermediate tones for
sharps or flats.
He trained them to emit long

or short squeals, according to
the length of time he pulled
on the strings, of which one
was attached to the tail of
each pig. That gave him at
will. eighth. quarter, half or
whole notes. and single notes,
or chords, depending on whether
he pulled one string at a time,
.or several. Thus he was able
TO play many Chinese tunes.
Anyone who has ever heard
Chinese quartette or orchestra
will realize that this pig music
must have delighted the Chinese.
The Emperor heard of this
and invited Fur Long to the
palace. On the way, the team
was overtaken by a terrific
sleet storm. When Fur Long
brought his pigs before the
Emperor and pulled on the
strings, there arose the hoars
est screeching ever heard in
China. His pigs had contracted
laryngit1s!
The Emperor burst into
laughter. Fur Long, mortified
and Inundated. drove his pigs
to a nearby wood and slaugh-
tered them.
From that day he nourished
such a grudge against pigs that
he became a Pork Butcher. He
introduced many new pork
dishes into China among them
frankfurters, the recipe for
which Fur Long obtained from
Egypt.
