The Sidewalks of Washington
BY THORNTON FISHER.

Here is the latest one we've heard.
What is the difference between New
York and Chicago? Answer. In New
York they faw down and go BOOM"
In Chicago they go boom and faw
down."
There is still host of timid persons
who are reluctant to ride in an air
plane. According to statistics, $1,000
people were killed last year in automo-
bile accidents, compared with which
airplane cataStropheS were infinitesi-
NAL.
1t is true shat air accidents are more
sensational, but there, is always time to
autos crash on the ground or one goes
into ditch, there is little or no time
in which to prepare for it.
Actually there is less of thrill flying
to New York and back than one might
expect. Mr.. Jones, let us say, decides
rather hesitatingly to i'riSk" an air
journey to Gotham. The morning he is
to take off he awakens early. AS a
matter of fact he has scarcely slept
during the night Mrs. Smith and the
children plead with him to change his
mind, cancel his booking and take the
train. Mr.. Smith is heroically adamant
and insists that he will fly. Secretly he
wishes he had not arranged to go by
air, and hopes that the flying company
will call him up and say that the ship
has carbon trouble.
Mrs. Smith sneaks upstairs and sur
reptitiously reads fathers insurance
policy, noting especially the clause per-
tanning to accidents. Leaving a half
cup of coffee, Mr.. Smith looks at his
watch and picks

and then catch it in the final loop at
one end of the filet stitchery. Crochet
another 212 inches and again attach to
the ring with loop of stitchery about
it. 1t requires eight of these double
chains to complete the joining of the
hammock" portion to the ring. After
this the ring can be covered with loops
of crochet-like buttonhole stitches or it
can be left uncovered.
An attractive ornament for these back
rubbers is a monogram or initial, en-
broidered in the center of one side of
the towel. This should be worked before
the towel is doubled The under side of
the embroidery will be concealed when
the towel is folded. Use the same
crochet cotton for the individual in
itial or monogram as is used for the
crochet stitchery.
These accessories for the bath make
attractive gifts for travellers, especially
those going to the seashore. They are
just the things to be made for bazaars
and fairs at beaches, or any Summer
resorts, and they are welcome gifts for
Christmas. A set, one for each member
of family, with colors differing and
each having the initial Of member of
a family is a unique Christmas present
The sizes should vary, small ones for
children, somewhat larger for the
mother and extra large one for daddy"
The gift should be neatly boxed and
tied.

They pass over Philadelphia and the
Camden Bridge. How ridiculously
small they are. Mr.. Smith feels like a
veteran. He gaZes below and sees
Staten Island and beyond the Statue
of Liberty. Boats resembling water
bugs move on the surface of the water.
Everything is Jake"
A few minutes later they land on
Long Island. Mr. Smith energies from
the cabin door and hastens to phone
his wife that the trip was perfect one.
Two days later he returns by the
same plane. Landing in Washington
he calls up the Office and his wife. His
fellow workers evince no surprise at his
safe return. But" he says to himself,
they wouldn't have done it."
The suffering comes later when.
for the following six months, the boys
in the office have to listen to his talk
about the time when Il flew to New
York and back"

Everyday Psychology

Inaugural Crowd.

A week ago today Herbert Hoover was
made President at Washington. What
of the psychology of the crowd that saw
him indicted into office?
1t seems to me that people are eye
minded. They are interested chiefly i'll
what there is to be seen. At any rate,
when the new President began to de-
liver his inaugural address the crowd
began to leave for what was still to be
| seen-the parade. Seeing came first.
What was to be heard might be read
at leisure.
To those of you who only heard the
Inauguration over the radio I put this
question: Were you not continually try
ing to translate your auditory expert
ence into visual experience as the in
| imitable McNamee and his associates
tried to tell you what was going on?
| Why did McNamee, i'll telling about the
, Senate proceedings, describe the occa-
sional smile on the as yet President
elect Hoover's face? Why did he de-
scribe the granite visage OF President
Coolidge? Why did he go into details
Of the appearance Of uniforms. dress,
| personalities? He knows from long ex-
| perlence what the people want to know.
| People are above all else, sightseerS.
There is another thing of Importance
| connected with the Inauguration. At
noon March 4 all minds were turned
to Washington as the seat of govern
ment. Despite the fact that the aver
| age citizen now and then breaks law.
he still believes in elf-government.
This consciousness Of government OF,
by and for the people seems to be on
the increase in this country. The out
look from the standpoint Of national
welfare is promising.
| Our experiment with democracy may
yet prove to be a success. What we
need most of ell in the way Of fol-
low-up for inaugural events is some
vivid. historical perspective--a mental
picture of our democratic past. The
sense of national consciousness Is the
stoutest bulwark of the Nation. And
this consciousness is something that
embraces the past as part Of the pres
ent and a forecast of the future.

Wrigley Wants an Elastic
Park, Where Everybody
Can See Series.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
~HICAGO. September 19-The
1929 champions Of the Ma
tional League, Chicagos Cubs,
" their collective blood pressure
undisturbed by the clinching
Of the pennant, today faced the business
Of going through the motions of IL ball
games before engaging the Athletics in
the battle for world title acclaim.
Although no championship has come
to Chicago since 1919, and none to the
Cubs since 1918, almost no excitement
accompanied actual triumph Of the
team assembled by William Wrigley,
jr., and unanswered to the title by
Joseph v. Mccarthy. Virtually "in"
for two weeks, the Cubs had only to
wait for the law of averages to go to
work for them, and finally missed the
thrill of making the deciding gesture
themselves when Boston administered
the coup de grace to Pirate hopes in
the first game Of yesterdays double
header.
Only half-hearted cheer greeted the
news when the Boston victory over
Pittsburgh was posted at Wrigley Field,
where about $500 fans sat shivering as
the New York Giants defeated the
champions, to 3.
William L. Week were smilingly happy.
For Mccarthy it was his first cham
pionship as major league manager,
earned after four years of effort.
For Wrigley the. title was his first
as the owner Of major league club,
but his imagination did not stop work.
II started out to get a team that
would win a pennant," he said. We'll,
the effort has been successful. But
am going to have pennant every year,
If ! can-and after that I want an
elastic ball park where every one can
get in for world series"
The Cubs rise to the championship
dates from July 10, when Hal Carlson
held the Giants to hits. The Cubs
were four games behind the Pirates, but
the climb had started. After taking
double-header from Brooklyn July 10,
Chicago moved into first place, but
slipped back the next day when Dazzy
Vance overcame McCarthys crew.
They spent day returning to Chi
cago, during which Pittsburgh won an
other game and went into a one-and-
one-half game lead. On the afternoon
of July % Root defeated the Giants
and Pittsburgh lost to Brooklyn. The
next day produced the same set OF re-
suits and the Cubs went back to the
peak, where they remained, accumu-
lating a lead Of 141a games on two
occasions.
Sagging on the pitching staff during
the last week has caused real concern,
