Hull. star Of Tobacco Road" averted
an incipient panic at the Harris Thea
ter today-caused by dense clouds Of
grease smoke from a fire In Hotel
Sherman-by "bawling out" the audi
ence.
As the audience grew restless with
the smell Of smoke, Hull stopped his
performance, walked to the footlights
and, instead of delivering the usual
speech Of assurance, began a TRADE.
you're fine ones, you are. All you
have to do is to sit there and watch.
Here we have to smell this smoke and
try to give a performance at the same
time. If there was any danger we'd be
the first, ones out of here. Now come
back and sit DOWN."
His speech halted the exodus. A
few of the departing guests began to
filter back to their seats.
That's right. let's sit down and be
quiet. How can you expect us to put
on a snow with all that noise and
confusion?"
The audience quieted. One man
took the cue and called out: Hes
right. Let's sit down."

Perhaps there are more, but at any
rate we know that the Anchorage Is

as is likewise the Caravel-just to
keep the atmosphere Of the names
alive.
1t may be that the names were
chosen somehow with the proximity Of

MILKMAN DETECTIVE.
YOUR friend the milkman, as you
L may not know, Sdue to the fact
he is charged with losses to thieves
on his beat" becomes by necessity
quite a detective.
Not long ago the resident of Bel
mont road apartment reported to a
dairy that his cream was being stolen
nearly every morning. AS the dairy
promptly charged the delivery man
instead of the customer with the
cream, the milkman naturally took
interest in the case.
After investigation he concluded
the son of the janitor Of the apart
ment was the guilty one. The boy,
he found was paSsionately fond of
cream. So, without revealing that
he suspected him, the milkman in an
ofhand way told the youth he was
going TO poison the cream.
This stopped the thefts only tenn
porarily, so the milkman got finger
prints from one Of the empty cream
bottles, obtained the boys prints by
getting him to pick up another bot
tie, and took them to police head
quarters. When he found the prints
matched, he accused the youth and
threatened TO tell police. So the peo-
pie on Belmont road now are getting
cream each morning.

counter claim that all of the payments

HIS SUBWAY PLAN
Tells Citizens Temporary
improvements Will Not
Help Traffic.

Declaring the construction of sub
ways in the District is inevitable. Peo-
pies Counsel William A. Roberts yes
terday told the Dupont Circle Citizens
Association there will be no solution
to WaShington's increasing traffic
problems as long as authorities and
residents continue to support and
adopt improvements which are only
temporary.
Roberts spoke Immediately after the
association adopted resolution, rec
commended in an Executive Committee
report. opposing the proposal to re-
route northbound Connecticut avenue
cars around the east side of Dupont
Circle. 1t was said, during the dis
cuSsion, that the association believes
this proposed change, which would
include a widening of the street
around the circle, would simply be a
temporary solution to the problem and
would nave no decidedly permanent
value in the final solution.
Roberts seized upon this in his open
ing remarks when he said, Il will be
proud and willing to fight against
this proposal with and for you
Sees No Help to Traffic.
Here's a plan involving an esti-
mated $780, ,OOO-enough to build
fairly good school or make possible a
great number of other rerouting
plans" ne said. And yet the pro-
posed plan would not help the traffic
problems one iota and would simply
create a greater traffic hazard for
pedestrians by increasing the width
of the street area they must cross to
get to the circle" he declared.
Pointing out the present street cars
are sufficiently fast on the straight
aways," and that the bulk of the traf-
fic congestion is at the intersections,
he declared the great amount OF in
vestment that would be necessary to
get new cars would be avoided by the
construction of subways."
The association went on record re-
questing rigid enforcement of all ex-
isting smoke laws and asked further
that the law be extended to include
all fuel-conSuming commercial plants,
including incinerators. The assocla-
ton pointed out in a resolution that
in spite of Its efforts the smoke con-
ditions are unimproved. The resolu-
ton asks further that the District
officials inaugurate an educational
program to fight the smoke nuisance,
through the press or by the dlSSemina-
ton of circulars ana pamphlets

Zens to proposal to rezone 2008 Hill
