AROUND THE CITY

TIM HEY had to come together at

Never had a home, strictly speak
! ing. But had love. Go on and talk.
1t will hurry your train for you.
| The other woman's smile washed
the anxiety from her face and brought
out at least a half dozen dimples~-ail
of them dancing. And she talked
about like this.
| She had been born to blush unseen
and waste her sweetness on the Ne
vada desert air. with only an irrigat-
| ing ditch between her and the sand
and sand that rolled to a stone noun
| tain that walled her in from life. so
| one time she took her share or the
alfalfa crop permitted by the ditch
and journeyed into the glamour OF
| os Angeles, where some dramatic
| Columbus discovered her value as
| character type, which meant Holly
wood for seven years. Then a simon
I.egree of fate dashed her 10 farther

IAN my life, I have wanted to live

it, And when I'd be aching with the
glory of your trees and shining river
a something seemed to cry out within
me that the desert is where ! belong.

not bringing him up to be Christian
man. Which seems to show that the
motion picture, like every other pro-
gressive phase. has its occasional
drawbacks, for the reason that man
will never be able to produce abso-

Also, once more:
Two small girls were wheeling their
baby carriages, each occupied by a
handsome Christmas doll. While they
were chattering like a couple of mag
pies, along came a man who was
carrying a heavy world burden in the
shape of hump on his back.
The little girls stopped, looked at the
man, and turned around to watch him
after he had passed. While they did
it they giggled.
Then one of them reached up her
shoulders, and the imitation loudened
their giggles to noisy laughter.
If he heard the giggles and saw the
hurlesque, the man made no sign.
Affection learns to take ridicule as
philosophic matter of course. You
notice afflicted people are like that.
Where they get the courage, the good
Father in heaven knows. The only
thing about the incident is:
1t was not a game learned from the
movies. 1t was the spontaneous out

arm, and interrupted the reading:
II am having one of my visions,

the youngish fellows grin showed that
there was a standing joke between
them.

chuckle together that was good to
hear.

She had reached the curb when she

Critics Of the Governments foreign

tor Lenroot of Wisconsin in an ad-
dress before the Carroll Law Club of
Georgetown University School of Law,
which held its fifteenth annual ban

Public men have been too apt to
criticize the foreign policy Of our Gov

in the conduct Of our foreign rela-
tions we should be neither Republicans
nor Democrats, but Americans"
American interests demand strong
foreign policy, he declared, and criti-
cisms directed at the Governments
policy in Mexico and Nicaragua are
based on misinformation.

BALTIMORE, April 27.-Protest
against the operation of busses of the
Washington Motor Coach Co. and Red
Star Line over the Defense Highway
instead of over the Marlboro pike
have been filed with the Public Serv-
ice Commission by Mrs. j. Owen Dove
and others of Prince Georges County.
In her letter to the commission, Mrs.
Dove said: "IThe bus which operates
between Washington and Annapolis
over the Marlboro pike only makes
one trip to Washington a day over
this route. IT makes the rest of its
trips over the Defense Highway,
which already has one bus line OPP
Grating over it between these two
cities. We feel quite sure that If
this bus ran over the Marlboro road
with a regular advertised schedule
it would do more business. Now the
schedule h changed frequently with
out notice. 1t also never advertises
it's schedule. They should be allow
ed to pick up passengers along the
route going into Annapolis, too"

BOY SHOT IN SIDE.
Colored Lad Tells Police Wound
Was Accidental,

Thomas Floyd, colored youth, was
treated at Emergency Hospital yester-
day afternoon for a bullet wound in
his side. The boy, residing at 2635
Barry road southeast, explained to the
police that he was accidentally shot
with a pistol he found in an alley near
Seventh and NJ streets.
The weapon was wrapped in paper,
the boy stated, and when he found 1t
and started away with it he noticed a
man coming toward him. Believing
the man was coming after him, he
stated, he ran, fell and the weapon
was discharged.
The police of the second precinct are
investigating. 1t was reported at the
hospital that the wounded boys con-
ditions was undetermined.
