August Is, 1S61.-The large building
recently erected at the railroad depot
for the accommodation Of arriving
troops has been given the title Of 1.-THE
White House." It has already become
an institution" In that vicinity.
This building Is consVucted Of ma
terial from the inaugurHs ballroom and
is well adapted to its purpose. The en-
frances are large and very numerous.
The floor is planned pine, well jointed,
and the gravel roof Is built in the most
approved manner. The building Is 800
feet long and about 40 feet wide. It
is well lighted with gas.
In one end there are three baths, II
feet wide and four feet deep, supplied
with Potomac River water. The man
ner In which the dusty volunteers
plunge into the water and splash about,
after their long and tiresome rides on
railroad trains, Is the best evidence that
the baths are thoroughly appreciated
and are serving their purpose well.
The Mount Vernon Cane Factory, i'm
mediately adjoining this new building,
is being used as a dining hall for the
arriving troops. 1t has been fitted with
a long row Of tables and everything else
has been arranged so as to make it a
complete dining room large enough to
A guard Of regulars protects both of
these buildings and takes care of any
Of the volunteers who become unruly.
Deceit Carpenter has general super
vision Of the arrangements.
Residents Of the District Of Columbia
and that part Of Maryland bordering on
the Potomac River are now required to
obtain passes to visit or leave this city
The loyal men do not object to these
restrictions. Several men came to
Washington from Maryland today and
voluntarily took the oath Of allegiance
as preliminary step to calling on the
authorities for passes.
Not all persons who take the oath of
allegiance to the United States can be
relied upon. however. and the authori-
ties are exercising vigilance to learn the
true sentiments toward the Union of
those who present themselves for this
purpose. It has been learned that some
persons have taken the oath merely as
a matter Of form" and have not meant
to keep it.

Pane and Plezzure.

Every day Is mixed up with partly
plezzure and partly pane. It Is pane
full to wawk to skool in the morning
but 1t Is plezZant to wawk await from
it in the afternoon with one more days
education in your brane.
1t Is plezZant to spend your money
In a candy store and paneful to think
Of different more permanent things you
could Of bawt with 1t after the candy
is lost in your sttlmmick.
It Is pane to be hungry with suppir
not reddy yet, and pleZzure to smell
swell smells coming out OF the Etchin
at the same time.
But too much plezzure Is libel to get
paneful, and II you laff hard enough
you will proberly get a pane in the
side with nuthing funny about it.
Whats plezzure for some Is pane for
others, such as when some kid wawks
pass you eating ice cream cone when
that's just the very thing you wish you
was doing yourself ony you haven't got
the money.
The thawt Of some thing is their
have a splinter some place and your
mother Is looking at it and pointing
the point Of a needle at 1t without
even touching 1t yet. This proves it
would be a convenient thing II we could
stop our . imagination from working
whenever 1t wasent imagining any fun
for us.
One of the most paneful sensations
is having the hot water come out Of
the shower when you are underneath
expecting the cold, and one Of the most
pleZzant Is sticking your face in O whole

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, August 13.-It's
vacation time in the village, but some
of the vacations are of the type you'd
rather not have. A friend Of mine on
one of the executive boards for actors
temporarily out of work due to ructions
between studio producers and Equity
tells sad tales of these sunny days Of
dolce far niente.
The player whose enforced idlenesS Is
not conducive to merry thoughts, as he
often must accept assistance from his
organization, doesn't dare seek out the
breezy sand stretches Of the beach. Salt
air and sea breeze whip up raging
appetite which an empty pocketbook
cannot help.
They stay around movieland, then,
these children Of warning factions whose
contracts were not signed previous to
the inpasse. A committee Is busy get
ting them work-any type Of work, from
clerk to waiter; every type OF work,
from ticket puncher to ballyhoo man
at beach concessions.
No people In the world have such q
fine fair for the poker quality Of life
as these TheSpianS. They are at home
with suit case and Shelter-nay,
often with a clean collar and tooth
brush. But the strain Is beginning TO
tell on the nerves of the idle, as well as
of those trying to place and help them.
Aud Lang Syne never meant SO much

good deal of quiet help going on, for the
whole thing has been so much depend

Gloria Swanson, of to Paris to rejoin

In the depths, the mallows are in
bloom-two Of them, the rose mallow
with great pink flowers, and the swamp

fashioned garden shrub from Europe,
they look more like hollyhocks in
wading.
Few flowers in our native fora are
so big, and yet they are not coarse
like the sunf1ower, which is really a
cheat, as it is cluster of tiny flowers,
any one Of which would be negligible
seen separately. The mallows preserve
the dainty petal texture of smaller
blossoms, that internal, frosty glow of
the translucent cells Of beautiful
corollas.
Amidst the many technical families

the different species, one can learn our
few kinds as easily as some little
family Of birds-the high mallow, the
false rnallow, the Virginia mallow, the
splendid velvet leaf, the little plant
called cheese. In gardens we have the
rose-of-sharon, called also .Althaea, and
the hollyhocks, beside such crop
plants as cotton and okra.

This afternoon at o'clock at Walnut Hill park, the four teams in the Rotary Boys Baseball league which were idle on Monday, will swing into action in the first games of the league schedule. Monday aft ernon, Paradise Park defeated Vance while Willow Brook trimmed Nathan Hale.
 This afternoon, Smith will meet Burritt on Diamond No. ? while Washington will meet the Y. M. c. A. on Diamond No. 1. All four teams are ready for their first games and some good battles are in prospect.
 The league this year appears to be fast combination of teams, all of whom will probably be in the race right up to the last minute. There are no favorites at present because of the fact that no team has shown to decided advantage over the others in the circuit.

LOUGHRAN PLANS
 ID FIGHT HEAVIES
Win or Lose Tomorrow Night He
 Leaves 175 Pound Class

New York. July r R-Tommy

New York. July r P>-Tommy Loughran, busiest of all the fistic champions, will defend his light heavyweight crown against James J. Braddock Of Jersey City. at the Yankee Stadium tomorrow night in what may prove to be his last bat tie as a 175-poundcr.
 Winner or loser with Jersey Jimmy" Loughran is authority for the statement that he will engage in few if any more bouts as a light heavyweight.
 Despite his frequent title defenses and non-title bouts, Loughran. has made little money out of the cham pionship he won from Mike McTigut in October of 1927. The big money lies with the heavyweights, and Tommy is convinced he can more than hold his own with any of tho current crop in that division.
 He has said that if he beats Brad dock he will fight again as a light heavyweight Tn September and then cast his lot definitely with the heavy weights. If he loses he has said he expects to take vacation and see what he can do in the way of putting on more weight and add ing puch to his fistic repertoire so that when he meets the big fel- lows he will not be under such a handicap.
 Another element in Loughran's 3 decision has been his reported diff ficulty in making the weight. AL though there seems to be no reason to doubt that Tommy will be down 10 175 pounds for Thursdays battle there is no question that the task has weakened him to some degree.
 Betting odds on the day before the fight favor Loughran at to 5.
 Although the Jersey puncher has no lack of supporters, his sole hope of victory over the clever Loughran seems to lie in a knockout. How ever much he may have improved in boxing skill he can have no hope

It has been 29 years since a young man named John Picus packed his bag at Pottsville, Pa, and went forth to do battle with the world and seek it's fame.
 John Picus found it. Under the name of Jack Quinn, the youth from the collieries became one of the greatest spitball pitchers in the big leagues - and his name became known wherever baseball is played.
 Now?
 Jack is going back to the hills from where he came. The other day at Shibe park, he unburdened his heart 10 group of youngsters who had come from Pottsville to see him pitch.
 "Theres something in those hills up there," said Jack. They seem to be calling me back. It's the first time in more than 2G years that I've had that feeling.
 And I'm going bacli-whcn the season cnds-for good!
 win, lose of draw, I'm going back. I'm going into business, the only business I know anything about-the sporting goods business. Yes. sir, boys, I'll be back with you next season. The deal is almost closed. l have the spot picked out right down on the main drag.
 "There's nothing that can keep me from it now. l hate to think of leaving Mack and the gang, and next spring l might feel lonesome when the boys start south. But I've made up my mind and I'm going to stick to it.
 Even a substantial raise in salary won't keep me from fulfilling the de- sire to go back to good old Potts. vile where a man can still walk on the streets with a smudge on his face without people thinking he's blackface comedian"
 During the off season in recent years, Jack and Mrs. Quinn have been making their home in Chicago. All summer it has been hotels. Pull lIldllS, more nOltlS, more I'ulllnanS.
 Jacks brother Mike adds to Jacks testimony.
 Jacks been coming 10 Pottsvillc maybe two or three times a year. Once recently he told me: Mike, VOL should be happy here in these hills where you can wake up in the morn ing and look down into the valley. You have home and kiddes. You know, Mike, you're richer than l am."
 When the troupes cntrain next year. the face of a veteran will be missing from the ranks. He'll be Jack Quinn, the sporting goods man Of PottSville, sitting around with a bunch of boys, maybe eating hard shelled crabs-he dotes on 'em- Happy Jack Quinn, at home at last.
