No capital of the old world holds
80 strong lure for Summer residents
as does our own Washington, with its
broad river, its miles of f1ower-bor-
dered drives along the waterway, its
cool and shaded roads through Rock
Greek Park and its miles and miles
Just as many miles as you hke-of
good driving in Virginia and Mary
land. All of this is making quite
tolerable the lives of officials and dip
lomats held here by the ties Of duty,
and one can scarcely take even a
short walk or drive without meeting
them. Diplomats love to walk out to
the extreme end of Massachusetts, ave-
nue. or in stout walking shoes do the
by-paths in Rock Greek Park, while a
few choose the old tow path along
the Chesapeake and Potomac Canal,
no longer in its glory, but standing as
a historic reminder of the days of
George WashingtonS surveying PROV
eSs.
And there are many other outdoor
diversions besides the golf and tennis
courts or the polo field and swimming
pools, for there is the lovely Sylvan
Theater, where the Community Play
ers keep apace the times with good
programs. On the slope of the Mon
ument grounds, when these programs
are on, one meets many Senators and
their families, few diplomats and es-
pecially a choice assortment of old
Washington residents. The Old Barn
Theater, over in Maryland. where the
Roadside Players hold forth, receives
Its share of choice patronage, too.
A little more stylish, as the word
goes, is the National Civic Theater
Society, starting its Summer season
with veritable Social Register list,
people who are charmed with the
Odeon, at National Park Seminary,
w,Ch its classic pillared porticos, lovely
grounds and fine old trees. Tomorrow
night marks the opening, with a
well-chosen introduction for the sea-
son.
Loveliest of all outdoor programs,
however, are the esplanade concerts
at the Pan-American Union, when
the guests are received at the great
front door, Just like a formal recep-
ton, by DR.. L. S. Rowe, after which
they pass through the Aztec patio
with its dashing fountain, tropical
plants and gay-hued parrots, all put
ting one quite in the humor for the
programs of Latin American music,
with always the United States Navy
Band assisting. There are always the
best of artists from Mexico or some
other of our sister countries, and
there is the lovely esplanade with its
rejecting pool, and somehow DR..
Rowe seldom misses controlling Miss
Luna herself, so moonlight adds its
charm. Tuesday evening, July 8, at
9 o'clock is the date and time for the
next concert.
aCabinet folk are truly enjoying the
iull in social life in the Capital, where
they are constantly sought as guests,
and while the dean and ranking
member Of the group, Mr.. Hull, Sec
retary of State and Mrs. Hull will
stand close by Washington for some
time to come, they yet will enjoy brief
trips away. Tomorrow Mrs. Hull and
several other Of the cabinet ladies
will go to Baltimore for luncheon
with Mrs. William CabeI Bruce, with
whose husband Secretary Hull was
formerly in the Senate. 1t will be o
senatorial reunion, in a way, for Mrs

transit company in abandoning
the LIE Droit Park car line. Mr..
Roberts said that, before the
change was placed in effect, his
request for a rehearing on the
project was denied by the Public
Utilities Commission. He asserted
a good bus service would be an
improvement over the poor serv-
ice that had been given by the
car line. ...
DR.. Daniel E. Wiseman, presi-
dent of the citizens. association,
claSSed the present bus service
as a disgrace" declaring it
covers only few blocks adjacent
to Howard Park and is useless
for transportation to the down
town section. ''.,..
After a general criticism of the
transit company for failure to
maintain a through bus service
equal at least to that furnished
by the discontinued car line, it
was decided a petition should be
presented to the Public Utilities
Commission, requesting the Cap
ital Transit Company to inaugur.
ate through bus Service.
Other business included adop-
ton of resolutions opposing legis-
lation restricting the powers Of
the Board of Education and the
