According to Joe Fletcher. no rock

Saturday and Sunday were not pro-

that the extremely hot weather has
had its effect on the fish. It enables

The cowboy made the chiefs pipe burn and then the old chief took his turn. Real shortly he said, Come, you white tots. My home is your home.
 Look all around. Don't be afraid, and soon a campfire will be made, You will not find a nicer place, no motter where you roam"
 Some other Indians joined them, then, and Dotty shouted, "Goody," " when one of the redmen said, Let's form circle on the ground.
 q, too, must smoke the pipe of peace, so that our friendship may increase. You are the incest looking tots that we have ever found"
 They squatted down, and 1t seemed fun. Well, Indians, now that this Is done," exclaimed the cowboy, kindly hand that long -stemmed pipe to me.

The Indian pipe, held by the chief, near threw Scouty into grief. He didn't know the Indian meant for him to take puff.
 It was pipe of peace, you see, that makes folkc friendly as can be. The Indian frowned a bit and Scouty thought that he'd get rough.
 Then the old cowboy laughed and said, "Hey, chief. old boy, please use your head. You know these little tots don't smoke. Why, it would make them sick.
 You've given one tot quiteI scare, and I don't think that that is fair. Don't pick on little people. when you're pulling off trick.
 Here, let me have the pipe. I'll smoke, to prove that friend ship Is no joke, to prove that friendship is no joke. I've brought these tots to visit you. and you have naught to fear
 I'm going to show them all around. You promise they'll be safe and cound." At this, the old chief grunted and then smiled from ear to ear.

Famous Clo,cn of Old Days
Succun,bs at Hospital Here
John Lancaster Was
Mirth Producer for
Europe and america.

John Lancaster, who for 50 years
sang his songs and went through his
clown antics for audiences of
America and Europe, died Friday
night in Gallinger Hospital. At the
time of his retirement two years ago,
he was the oldest active clown in this
country.
During the half century when he
performed as a star in musical comedy,
burlesque, the cinema and the circus,
one song always went with him and
became identified with him, and his
audiences never failed to laugh as he
sang of That Boarding House, Far,
Far Away"
He was a survivor Of the old days
of talking and singing clowns, but he
was able to adapt his methods to
the changing times. In 1888, he still
was travelling with a circus.
Given Elevator Job.
Then he came to Washington. A
friend, Melvin D. Hildreth, helped
him secure a job as elevator operator
at the Adams Building in the 1900
block of F street.
Robust and powerful though he was,
heart disorder began to sap his
strength. Two and a half weeks ago,
he went to the hospital, hoping to get
well enough to take a job with a show
the Federal Emergency Relief Admin
istration planned to finance. Instead,
he failed rapidly, and died at pm.
Friday.
During his retirement here, Lam
caster appeared frequently at boys
club benefits, and last year was guest
of honor at the Variety Club luncheon
at the Willard Hotel.
In the eafly days Of motion pic
lures he was principal comedian with
the Kalem and Selig Companies and
was featured in more than $50 short
productions.
When the Barnum Circus toured
Europe Lancaster was with its corps
of clowns. His makeup was thin
and his costumes simple, but he was
able to put over his comedy through
the power of his vital personality. At
one time or another he was with

new BUS ROUTING:
ASKED IN PETITION
3,000'Expected to Sign Plea
for Service Covering
18th Street Area.

A petition urging bus service on
Eighteenth street has been signed by
more than 1000 residents in the vicin-
ity Of Eighteenth and Columbia road,
1t was announced last night.
A committee in charge of circulat-
ing the petition expects to obtain
some 5000 signatures. after which it
will be submitted to the Public Utili-
ties Commission and the Capital
Transit Co.
Ernest L. Stewart, president of the
Eighteenth Street and Columbia Road
Business Mems Association, said the
demand for Eighteenth street bus
service is virtually unanimous. He
pointed out residents of that section
have only street car service downtown
and must transfer twice, once at
Eighteenth and Columbia road and
again at the Calvert Street Bridge If
they desire to go uptown.
The petition proposes that busses be
routed from Connecticut avenue across
the new Calvert street bridge to
Eighteenth street. They would then
continue down Eighteenth street to
Massachusetts, avenue, turning left
there for the trip on downtown.
This use of Eighteenth street as q
bypass, Stewart said, would relieve
the congestion on Connecticut avenue
which followed the substitution OF
buses for street cars. The utilities
commission met last week to consider
the Connecticut avenue traffic problem
and one of the suggestions made at
that time was that some Of the buses
be routed over Eighteenth street.
1t was pointed out the new Calvert
street bridge is considerably wider
than the Taft Bridge, which consti-
tutes one of the principal trafic
hazards on Connecticut avenue.

Typical of the creed of the Lees,
DR.. Freeman said, was the declaration
of the famous Confederate general,
