Crack Memory

CHICAGO, Nov. 6.-Patrol-
men Thomas BarroWman and
G. F. Maloy are officers Of wide
experience in police circles, but
they we're ready to admit that
the mystery of the empty
apartment baffled them.
Mrs. Mary Buzzard, Y, led
them to her apartment.
"See," she said. THE bur-
glars have taken everything.
Even the shades and electric
light bulbs"
The officers investigated.
Mrs. Buzzard was right. They
left to question neighbors, but
returned without a clew.
Mrs. BuZzard met them at
the door smiling.
Goodness gracious" she
said. "I forgot all about it.
We're moving to Oregon and
the furniture men were here
yesterday and took everything
away"

LOUISIANA AVENUE
SEEKS NEW NAME
Small Part of Route Left After
Building Work Ends Must
Be Labeled.

The District Commissioners are in
the market for a new name for a por-
ton of Louisiana avenue.
The act recently signed by President
Hoover changing the name OF B street
north to Constitution avenue also took
away the name of Louisiana avenue
from the thoroughfare at present bear
ing that name. Most Of the present
Louisiana avenue will be swallowed up
by new Federal buildings, but small
fragment of 1t. from Seventh to d
street. will remain open.
The name of Louisiana avenue will
be borne by new avenue to be cut
southwest from Union Station to Penn
sylvania avenue in connection with the
development of the Capital plaza. SO
the name of the small remaining strip
must be changed.
One suggestion received by the city
heads is that on account of the vestig-
ial and useless character Of the
residuary street, 1t be named Appendix
avenue. The Commissioners are not
believed to favor this name, however.
Another suggestion, much more warm
ly received, Is Municipal avenue"

request may be made 10 consider 1t by

is in charge of Senator Carey, Repub-

House action.
The bill amends the Cramton -Capper
park development law in several re-
spects, the most important Of which is
authority to expend $3000,000 of the
Federal authorization to acquire without
delay certain key properties regarded as
essential to the parkway along the river.
It does not increase the share to be
borne by the Federal Government in
developing the park. The bill would
allow the Government to advance the
full cost of lands to be acquired on re-
ceipt of adequate guaranty from re-
sponsible sources for repayment of half
the amount. Under existing law the
advance can be made only when Mary
land or Virginia pledges reimbursement
of half the cost.
