The barber shop, just opened during
the past week. adjoins the restaurant

modern equipment for tonsorial opera
tions, including an experienced barber.
His services have been as much in de-
mand by women with bobbed hair as
by the men folks. The barber shop
does away with the necessity for trying
to work up a lather with cold water in
a tin pan and with trying TO shave
before a piece of broken mirror or
wifey's vanity case.
New Bath Building.
The new baths and lavatories are In
large building in the center Of the
=
spacious tiled shower room where a
veritable battery of hot and cold show
ers lines the walls. The women's show
ers are in individual booths The
shower baths seem to be the most pop
ular place in camp, especially on warm
days, There is nothing so refreshing
and invigorating TO tired and dusty
tourist as a cool shower and a brisk
| rub down. and the attendants in the
bath house always are busy.
The housewife who likes to do her

practice in camp. Every facility that
she would have at home-perhsps

lain tubs, with hot and cold water; an
open-atr drying yard, with plenty Of
clothes lines, and a dozen ironing
boards-each with an electric outlet for
the iron. II the woman has no cleo

The woman who wishes to send her
laundry out may do so, with the as
surance that it will be returned to her

and carefully ironed. A 46-hour dry
cleaning service is available, too
There was a time when the woman
did most of the sightseeing while the
men remained in camp and tinkered
with the car, with a view to getting
it in shape for the next lap of the
tour. Now the old car may be turned
over to the service station and left
there for repairs. washing or other
service while the whole family visits

What is called public-spirited
citizen visited the traffic direc-
tors Office the other day. His
son, aged 81, had been arrested
and convicted for two offenses of
reckless driving. One of the most
important duties of the traffic di-
rector had been carried out-the
suspension Of the operators per-
init.
This father requested the traffic
director not to return his sons
permit within the customary
three or six months, but to hold Ii
indefinitely. as the young man
was not qualified to drive. He ex-
planned that his son was mentally
a little deficient, and while not
enough to place him in a sani-
torium, it was enough to keep
him away from the privilege of
driving. He asked the Office TO

and manufactured by the Grouse

cally prepared white paint for

lanes on the streets by the Bureau
of Standards has arrived also. A
sample of this paint is being
tested by the bureau to ascertain
If it measures up to the qualifica-
tionS required. If this is so. the
work of marking the streets will
be promptly started.
Because of the receipt of many
misdirected letters. NJ. o. Ed
ridge. the assistant director Of
traffic, is anxious to have the
public informed that the Office
of the director Of traffic is not
the enforcement branch of traffic
violations. Although the direc-
tors Office and the Traffic Bureau
are closely aligned and cooperate
in every way, the enforcement
end is under Inspector Brown, of
the Traffic Bureau.
Bright Sayings" Entrant.

conducted in this city. Recently
his nephew. aged 6, was down on
F street, and noticed the many
flags displayed from the various
windows and fianking both sides

parked cars, recently made out
their beat on Pennsylvania ave-
nue., between Fourteenth and
Fifteenth streets. One left the
Traffic Bureau and took his post
to the right, the other one going
to the left. The we'll known
tickets were left in about 10 ma
chimes. Imagine the embarraSS-
ment later when 1t was found
that the cars of Ave policemen
had been tagged! AT any rate
they were practicing what they
preached.
Recommendations and Replies.
A recommendation is before the
Commissioners from the Office Of
the director Of traffic asking that
parking on M street, between the
span over Rock Greek and the Key
Bridge be limited to two hours.
While this will not break up the
traffic Jams during the rush
hours, Mr. Eldridge believes it will
alleviate the conditions to some
extent.
The assistant traffic director Is
of the opinion that the merchants
themselves cause much of the
confusion by leaving their own
cars and delivery wagons parked
in front of their places of bust
ness all day. There is no need
of parking abreast anywhere or ut
any time" Mr.. Eldridge stated
but that matter is up to the
Police Department"
In speaking of recommends
tlonS regarding traffic conditions
that are up before the Commis-
SionerS, many of them since last
October. it was suggested that it
would be wise plan for the heads
of the District government to set
one day apart each month for the
consideration of traffic matters.
This plan would be similar to the
District day now set by Congress
Traffic consideration is vital to
the welfare of the city, and surely
the traffic heads should receive
more cooperation from the Com
missioners. Without it, their
hands are tied.
City Lacking in Signs.
Washington today is lacking
greatly in signs aiding the many
tourists at this time OF year. If
the visitor wishes to go to Balti-
more, Frederick, Richmond or
even shorter trips, he will prob
ably have to ask his way many
times. Such a condition is de-
plorable. The National Capital
should have well-displayed direc-
ton markers at various places I'll
over the city.
Instead of ranking first, as it
should. the city without denial Is
probably the most discourteous
and the most inhoSpitable of all
large cities in aiding its guest.
Certainly he may ask for informa-
ton, but unless he is lucky 1t will
be sometime before he can get 1t,
for likely he will ask many a Won
dering tourist like himself.
This situation should be rem
edied and at once. The District
authorities themselves should
place these markers. If not, they
should allow some reputable auto
mobile club to put them up for
them. The question of advertis-
ing arises, foolishly at this time.
Why bother concerning a small

BY REX COLLIER.

If the frontier camper OF covered
wagon days could step out of the his
tory books and pay visit to the Wash
ington tourist camp he would, no doubt,
twirl his moustache disdainfully, rid
his mouth of a wad Of tobacco and
mutter, $50 this Is campingl"
In the good old days, when men were
trail blazers and camps were camps, ne
pitched his tent on the open plain,
cooked his meal over an open fire and
slept on a blanket spread on the clay.
Once in a while, when he reached a
river, he took bath and washed MS
clothes on the bank.
Imagine, then, the surprise he would
get If he drove his team into the Gov
ernment-supervised camp in East Po-
tomac Park, at the foot of Fourteenth
street. He would be escorted to neat
cabin with electric lights, gas stove
and running water: given directions to
the tile shower baths, community laun-
dry with electric irons and sanitary
tubs, the variety store, lunchroom, ga
rage, barber shop and club house; and
upon his eventual collapse from shock
he would be put to bed between clean
white sheets and allowed to recover on
a comfortable, modern iron bed, equip
ped with soft mattress, downy pillow
and wool blankets.
No, pardner, camping isn't what 1t
used to be In the days of the pioneers.
$4,000 New Equipment.
Nor is camping today similar even TO
the "tin-canning" of few years ago.
The Washington tourist camp Is en-
tering a new touring season with more
than $4,000 worth of new equipment
for the comfort and convenience of its
thousands of patrons. This equipment
recently completed, places it in the first
rank of tourist camps throughout the
country. Some camps may be larger
and more advantageously situated with
regard to shade trees. ETC.. but certainly
none excels it in modern conveniences.
For those who do not bring tents
there are % freshly painted cabins,
accommodating from four to seven or
more persons. Four of the cabins have
three rooms each, while the remainder
are one-room frame structures. The
cabins are equipped with beds, table,
chairs, sink, gas stove and electric
lights.
Those who prefer tents may rent
them, already put up and furnished
with two single cots, table and oil lamp.
If they have their own tents an un-
limited number OF excellent sites are
available.
Service a Ia Carte.
The frontierSman had to take his
gun and kill his dinner in the woods
or on the prairies before he could sit
down to supper. The local camper
needs but to walk few feet to the
camp restaurant and order his dinner
table dhote or la carte, or If he likes
to cook his own grub he may buy any
thing from soup to nuts in the store,
and even purchase coffee by the quart
or gallon hot from the percolator.
Here is a typical menu at the camp
cafe:
Ham and eggs with potatoes. bread,
butter and coffee, so cents.

given a good bill of health by
physicians and the approval Of
his father. This request was
granted and the proper notation
was made on the sons record.

Overerowding a Car.
In an accident that occurred
last week which resulted in a ia
tality 1t was found that there
were eight occupants of a sup
posed five-passenger car. Three
persons were on the front seat
and five on the rear. 1t Is be-
lieved that one of the contribu-
tory factors in the unfortunate
tragedy was the oyercrowding OF
the machine.
While the District regulations
do not specify against three on
the front seat" there Is a clause
that provides for such a case.
Article II, section Is, paragraph
k. provides that an operator shall
at all times be In position for

emergency control of his vehicle.
If 1t Is determined by the police
that the seating Of two occupants
in the front seat besides the
driver interferes with his ability to
use quickly his emergency brake.
then the operator is guilty of vio-
lating the above regulation. I.
may be remembered the almost
yearly practice Of Policeman Mil
ton D. Smith arresting the driver
of a car containing the other
eight members of base ball nine.
This regulation should be kept in
mind at all times, not just to safe
guard yourself, but the other
fellow.
