trast to the costume she has

Now reduced to a three
some, General Allen, General
Mccain and Charlie Wheeler
continue to have their daily
round of golf at Chevy
Chase. This match has been
going on every afternoon for
years, and some very good
golf is played by these three.
General Allen protects him
self from the sun with a
topee made of shiny rough
straw. Charlie Wheeler is
partial to blue shirts-and
occasionally a lavender one.
When Bishop Hill makes
his daily business rounds he
wears a good looking light
weight gray-green worsted
coat, made Norfolk jacket
style. A fine Panama hat,
turned down in front and up
in back, with a narrow black
band tops off the outfit.
Delight Arnold Wood
Mrs. Chet Woodland her
husband are now established
in the residence of the lat
ter's mother, Mrs. Charlie
Langley, in Chevy Chase.
Young Delight Wood is with
them-and always cunningly
dressed in little cotton frocks
made with shoulder yolks
and full skirts. Delight, SEN
lor, wears a good looking
hat of rough white straw,
trimmed in a white ribbon.
This is picture size and
turned up in back and down
in front.
Frances Hufty, wearing a
cute suit of Scotch plaid,
left town with her young
son a day or two ago to
visit her mother in the Adj
rondacks. Page will join
her in about two weeks and
then they will sail for Eu-
rope to be gone for about
two months. Page, a fine
golfer, aspires to enter the
German amateur tournament
and stands a good chance
of winning it. The land of
Hitler hasn't turned out
any outstanding golfers,
and the set up should be a
cinch for Page.

up you can see how cool look
ing cotton is.
With this costume we suggest
a plain white shirt, tie to har-
monize with your coat if you
wear one, and shoes with rub
ber soles, preferably low enough
of heel so you can play tennis
in them, but Sports-like so they
will do for the club afterward.
A mesh shirt may be worn in
place of a white oxford. Plain
white socks of lightweight
wool are best for tennis or golf.

red, white and blue plaid blouse
and matching reVerS.

is a cowboy, a friend of long standing

Carl wrote, "but it's a handy place to

aviation meets, speaking engagements,

which a generous public imposes upon
females of the species who indulge in
eccentricitieS like flying the Atlantic.
Even one who is merely related by mar

the miaSmatic prejudiceS of this extraor-

into all sorts of misconception of the

Manhattan lie tends to a sort of
mental in-breeding. Even the lamenta-

there has seemed more abiding cheer
in the comparative optimism of auto
mobile makers, hotel men and steamship
lines, after every gas station, garage and
roadside vendor we queried along 1900
miles of highway agreed that business

We set forth for Wyoming with the

the City of Kirwin. True, grass is grow
ing in the city streets-but even the
most belligerent Republican cannot
blame that upon the New Deal. For
Kirwin, douriShing mining town that
was, went out of business some 40 years
ago; it is ghost city today, romantically
reminiscent of the high hopes of yes
terday which petered out when the rain
bows end led to disappointment instead
of gold. Today Kirwin is a shell of its
former glory, its empty log houses, de-
serted shafts, rusting machinery and
scattering "city" buildings, made of lum-
ber freighted in from Red Lodge, Mont,
more than 100 miles away, over a noun
tain road long since largely swept away
by Winter snowSlides and highland
cloudbursts.
TO AN Fastener it seems rather fun
to own a city--even a deserted one.
For Kirwin belongs entirely to my friend
Carl. It's mis- private metropolis, sitting
in his ample back yard on the upper
reaches of the north fork of Wood River,
along the valley on which his ranch
property stretches.
Promptly after our arrival we showed
off up the trail from the Double Dee
ranch, A. E. astride a wise strawberry
roam named Red, the veteran Peanuts
bearing me.
In days gone Carl and have covered
a good many miles of trail with a pack
horse apiece or one between us, bur-
dened with the minimum of essentials.
Our party this time, however, went in
more for comfort. We were in no hurry.
We had no destination. We wanted to
wander bit, to catch some trout, to
climb some mountains.
Carl came along to show us the coun-
try, to talk over old times and, inevitably.
to plan that nest-to-goodness packtrip
we're going to make some day in British
Columbia-an epic journey we've dis
cussed internationally for more years
than I like to admit. Then there was

and his mountains, we found it-so gen.
erously, indeed, that we're planning to
go in for it on a permanent footing by
annexing a tiny piece of Carl's princi-
pality. whereon this Winter, if all goes
well, he will build log cabin for us.
There was truly, we found, gold i'm

gold.
Not the fine metal itself in sufficient
quantity to have made its mining
profitable in the past when optimistic
pioneers Scared adjacent mountain sides
with deep shafts that proved to cost
more than they produced. The other
varieties of gold aren't metallurgical.
Perhaps it's easiest to classify them as
social and spiritual. For this country
of Carls had wondrous wealth of
beauty and health and a fine remote
restfulnes which we loved. The site of

UNIFORM HOURS
FOR LIQUOR
SALE ASKED
New Regulation Would Allow
Business From 8 A. N.
to 1OP. M. Daily

Uniform hours of sale for both
beer and light wines and hard
liquors would be established un-
der a proposed amendment to the
liquor regulations forwarded to
the District Commissioners today
by Assistant Corporation Counsel
Andrew M. HowSley.
Mr.. Howsley drafted the new
regulation at the request Of the
Alcoholic Beverage Control Board.
George W. Offutt. chairman Of
the ABC board, said the recon-
mended regulation was to prevent
confusion as to hours Of sale.
From 8 q. m. to 10 p. m.
Under the proposed plan, off
sale hours for all beverages would
be from 8 a. m. to 10 p. m. At
present off-sale of hard liquors
is restricted to the hours between
8 a. m. and 8 p. M, except on
Saturdays, when 9 p. m. is the
closing hour. Beer and light
wines under the present law may
be handled by off-sale dealers be-
tween 8 a. m. and midnight.
Offsale of light wines and beer
would be prohibited on Sundays
under the proposed amendment,
although such sales now are per-
mitted. The proposed regulations
would not affect dealers holding
pharmacists licenses, while the
onsale hours remain unchanged,
such sales being permitted between
9 a. m. and 2 a. m.
Reason for Change
Mr.. Offutt said the change was
recommended because of the diff
Guilty of seeing that dealers did not
sell hard liquors during the hours
in which sale only Of lighter
beverages was permitted.
The new regulation will con-
tinue the present law permitting
hotels and restaurants to serve
light wines and beer on Sundays.

QUIZ BYPWA
With $780, 900 Federal Fund
Ready. Contracts Will Be
Held Up Pending Inquiry

Charges of inefficiency and
waste Of the Sanitary Division
Of Arlington county, Va, will be
investigated by a special corps
Of engineers of the Virginia Pub
lie Works Administration, it was
said today by James A. Anderson,
State PWA engineer.
The charges were laid before
the county board late yesterday
by Lincoln Mackey, engineer, who
recently resigned from the sani.
tary force.
Mr.. Mackey charged that the
work done under direction of
Sanitary Engineer Allan B. Nc
Daniel and County Manager Roy
S. Braden, was incomplete and
that, although the engineering
force had been working several
months, the survey was in such
shape that not one line of sewer
main can be laid at this time.
The county is borrowing ST.
100000 from the Public Works
Administration to construct the
sewer system. Mr.. Mackey's
charges, it was said today at
Arlington courthouse. will hold
up all contracts until they are
thoroughly probed.
Col. Christopher B. Garnett,
board member, demanded the
investigation after he had
heard Mr.. Mackey's charges.
The latter charged that al
though the sanitary division
had spent $4,000 of the tax
payers funds in making the
survey, its present status was
negligible and much work
would have to be done before
any construction could be at
tempted.

HUNT RESUMED
FOROLDST0NE

Solution Of the mystery in
volving the disappearance Of a
stone contributed by the Pope
to the building of the Washing
ton Monument will soon be
reached. according to o. B. Web
er. of Berkeley Springs, w. Va,
who, on a brief visit to WASH
ington, has convinced himself
that he knows where the stone
is buried.
No work was done on the
Monument during the civil war,
and when construction was fin
ally resumed the Pope's stone
had disappeared.
A number OF years ago, how
ever, Mr.. Weber met a man
whose grandfather was a Union
soldier. This man told him, he
said, that his grandfather and
some other men of antipapal
tendencies had taken the stone
from the Monument Grounds and
buried it.
Later, Mr.. Weber, while in
charge of some excavations for
the Potomac Power Company,
came upon a large slab of pink
granite, polished on one side,
but did not connect his find with
the story he had heard from the
Union soldiers grandson. because
he had given small credence to
the story.
But the discovery of magazine
article recounting the story of the
Pope's stone and its disappear
ance led him recently to connect
his find with the yarn he had been
told about the stones removal
from the Monument grounds

warehouse in Baltimore during

Since the tobacco lost was esti-

legislature, State inspectors have
been assembling claims so that
farmers may receive proportioned
refunds. It is believed farmers
will be reimbursed about half
their losses.
