Speed Campbell says he's glad the
women and girls have bobbed their
hair. Speed says the most embar-
rassed he ever was and the most de-
layed for an important date was on a
crowded street car He was chewin'
gum. A young woman beside him had
long hair. The wind was BLOWN. Her
hair blew across his mouth. Some
went in and got tangled up with the
gum and some tickled his nose so he
had to sneeze and swallowed the gum.
He wanted to get off at the next cor
ner, but the girl he was fastened to
didn't and he had to ride couple
miles further to where she got off
and then walk home with her SO she
could get pair of shears and ampp-
tate him.

D. c. CIVIC CENTER
PLAN IS APPROVED
Fine Arts Commission In
dorses Proposed Group of
Municipal Buildings.

The general scheme for develop
ment Of group Of municipal build
ings in the territory lying between
Third and Sixth streets and Indiana
and Pennsylvania avenues was ap-
proved by the Commission of Fine
Arts at joint meeting with the Dis
tr1ct Commissioners yesterday after
noon in the office Of Commissioners
Proctor L. Dougherty.
The commission also definitely select
ed the site for the swimming pool to
| be built on the grounds of the new
Mckinley Technical High School at
Second and 7 streets northeast.
Civic Center Plan.
The plan for the so-called civic cen
| ter provides for the erection of build
ings on three squares, reserving the
| fourth for future expansion of Dis
trict activities. In the two squares
fronting on Pennsylvania avenue a
new District building and building
to house the courts would be erected.
A building for police and fire depart
| ment headquarters would be placed
on one of the two squares facing
Judiciary Square and the Courthouse
The other square having such a front
| age would be held in reserve for ex-
| pansion.
The tentative scheme provides for
fourstory structures for the District
Building and the courts with two
story building for the police and fire
headquarters. The style of achitec-
! ture Of all Of these buildings would be
| in harmony with that of the Court
| house. The details as to the general
arrangement, size and ALLEGATION of the
| buildings, however, have not been
worked out, and this will be done later
| by Albert l.. Harris, municipal archi-
| tect, in conjunction with the Fine Arts
Commission.
The general plan also provides for
the widening of John Marshall place,
which would separate the east and
| w ost groups of buildings into monu-
mental boulevard, affording a grand
| vista to the Courthouse from Pennsyl-
vania avenue. The old shade trees
now lining the street would be pre-
served, as roadways would be made on
either side. Special consideration has
| been given to parking space not only
on John Marshall place but around
the proposed buildings.
The general plan for the civic CEN
ter was drawn by Mr.. Harris. on
| whom will fall the burden of working
out the numerous details. 1t will be
many months yet, he said, before the
plan Is in final shape.
Swimming Pool Location.
While the commission considered
the Mckinley High School swimming
pool location at the joint meeting
with the Commissioners, action was
not taken until the members made a
personal inspection Of the site in COM
pany with Col. u. s. Grant. Sd. direc-
tor Of the office of public buildings
and public parks Of the National
Capital; Maj. L. e. Atkins, assistant
District Engineer Commissioner, and
DR.. H. B. Learned, a member Of the
board of education, and Municipal
Architect Harris. In compliance with
the request of the school board, the
commission approved the location Of
the bath house at the southwestern
edge of the school grounds and the
pool east of the bath house. This was
done in order that the vista from First
street might be preserved.
