IF HUGHES SHOULD "CHoosE"

somebody asks, will it take

are a mixture of HUSHES,

II Hughes should start to make
the jump, some would spin a

turn HOSE" on him.
The greatest jump of all was
made by Lindy--from YORK to

From LOVE to HATE doesn't

More than the world beside
n Fool thrust up through his fortune,
And King brought low In his pride.
Tor the Fool saith, II deserve 1t.

And the King, II cannot believe IT.;
For I was but born to reign
But the world is a queer old Jester,
Who makes and breaks rule on rule,
And kings are assassinafed,
But only old age kills Fool.

Bill: What became Of Rebecca,
the pet raccoon the Coolidges took
with them to Dakota? They
hadn't been out there long before
there were columns of stories
about Rebecca escaping into
tree and defying everybody to re.
capture her. Did they ever catch
her. or was everybody so excited
about trout fishing and the use
of the word choose that they
let poor Rebecca get away for
good?
II she's still out in Dakota
Then we may never expect her
TO again gladden. the White House,
This our darling little Rebecca.
Another sad, sad thought occurs
About our happy little Rebecca:
II she's loose in the Dakota Hills
Some sheik raccOOn may neck her.

Senator Fess of Ohio declared yes

posed new conservatory erected.

Senator Fess said this would be well

The first step toward relocating the
Botanic Garden was taken Thursday
when President Coolidge signed the

land.

would proceed Immediately under

from Maryland avenue TO Canal
street, between First and Second
streets. II the land cannot all be ac-
ouired by direct negotiation, con-
domination proceedings will be insu-
tuted.
Action Without Delay.
Senator Fess, who. as chairman of
the committee on Library. has an
active part in carrying out the project.
said il is hard to estimate at this time
how long il will take 10 acquire the
land and proceed with the new con-
servatory. He was emphatic. how
ever, in yoicing his intention to see
the new Botanic Garden completed
without delay.
Congress already has authorized
construction of the necessary new
buildings on the land to be acquired,
and il is confidently expected the
actual appropriation for the construc-
ton work viii be made by the time
the site has been acquired.
One of the main objects in relocat-
ing the garden is to clear the way
for improved landscape treatment of
the existing garden between Pennsyl.
vania and Maryland avenues to make
1t conform with the beautiful vista
which is TO be created along the south
side of Pennsylvania avenue from the
Capitol to the White House.
There are two new monuments in
the existing garden-the Grant and
Meade Memorials-which viii possess
far more attractive setting when the
old garden area takes its appropriate
place IN the Mall plan.
