CITIZENS SUGGEST

to Avoid Adding to Traf-
fic Congestion.

posed $l0,000,000 art gallery to house

with many street and highway ac-
cidents and make the streets safer for
both motorist and pedestrian and
will develop among those who par
ticipate a finer spirit for the well
fare Of every resident of our city"

stairs and started to climb. The
chain preceded them. Every time
they advanced the chain went up
and when they started back down
the chain started down, too.
Finally. their nerve bolstered by
the newcomer, the youths crept up
the stairs, conversing only in whispers
and tiptoeing. They climbed to the
top of the stairs and still the chain
kept ahead of them. They could hear

They climbed ladder and peered

They climbed over the rafters and
soon found a piece of chain. They
pulled on it. And out came large
raccoon.
The boys later learned the coon, a
pet, had been chained up. His chain
broke and he escaped to the old
house. He was just tame enough to
want to follow, yet wild enough to

BEHIND THE MIKE"

~ EHIND the microphone In q
- radio studio one night recently
there was a terrific struggle
- between two men who were
trying to put over an interview in ap-
proved radio style.
The man doing the interviewing
well knew the strange quirks Of the
sensitive microphone. The other did
not. It was his first experience at
the transmitting end of radio. Natu-
rally he was nervous.
The interview had been prepared
in advance-the questions and an
swers were all typewriter. All the
radio neophyte had to do was to fol-
low his lines. Microphone fright,
however, overcame him after he had
answered the first few questions. He
lost his lines. When another question
was fired at him, he fumbled the
scrip, and oblivious to the fact that
every word he uttered would go into
that open microphone. muttered:
II don't see that question"

GROCERY MYSTERY.
THE moral of this mystery tale Is:
Never leave a big bag or gro
ceries on the running board Of an
other feller's automobile!"
The other afternoon a f1ne-looking
generous hearted, considerate gentle
man about 80 years old, parked his
car in the 3100 block Of N street
northwest. He did an errand in
Georgetown, returned to the machine
in 20 minutes and discovered a huge
package of groceries on the running
board.
He wanted to use the auto at once
but what should he do with some
body's two or three days grocery sup
plies? Worried over the situation, he
called at the front door of every
nearby house on both sides Of the
street but nobody claimed ownership
We'll. guess the bag must have
been on the running board when ]

cluded. This butter is pretty soft"

Under terms Of her new Warner

unusual clause last Christmas, but
Hollywood didn't find out about it

Not that Bette wants a divorce

San Francisco visiting him now.
He has a job up there playing in
a night club and Bette keeps
house for him until the studio
calls her back for another pic
ture.
There was no compulsion upon
the actress to sign the no-diyorce
clause. She did it voluntarily,
just as Dick Powell once agreed
not to marry for a period Of
years.
In each case the studio felt q

things would injure a promising

WIFE ADMITS
SHOOT|NGD DAY,
POLICE SAY

Policeman James P. Day, 35,
elung to life today in Sibley Memo
rial Hospital while fellow-officers
continued to question his wife,
Gertrude, II, in the shooting Of
her husband yesterday in their
home, 100 block First st. N. E.
Hospital authorities said Day
had "a better night than was ex-
pected and expressed the belief he
had a fair chance to live. A bullet
tore through his abdomen from
the left side to the right and, po-
lice said, Mrs. Day admitted she
fired the shot from Days own
service revolver. She claimed self
defense.
Tells Of Argument
According to the wife's story to
police, the Days separated two
weeks ago, Mrs. Day going to live
with her daughter, Mrs. Jack
Mason, vile of a park policeman,
in the 800 block S st. N. E. Yes
terday she returned to the First
Street home to get some clothing
for her children, she said, and an
argument ensued.
Day, according to the wife,
seized a small chest and attempt
ed to strike her. She picked up
the pistol from a bureau and fired.
After her story had been told,
with Day listening on an operat-
ing table, another policeman
asked Day if he had anything to
say. The latter replied:
"NO-nOt now"
Held Without Charge
Mrs. Day is held without
charge at the Woman's Bureau
Of the police department. It was
indicated that no action would
be taken until her husbands
condition is definitely ascertained.
Headquarters records show that
Day was convicted three times
in the last year on charges of
drunkenness, being fined twice
and recommended for dismissal
twice.
In the latter two instances,
the District Commissioners inter
vened to save his job, but upon
the last conviction they warned
that another offenSe would mean
his custer.
