Tom is generally well-mannered
but has developed one playful propen-
sity which the family does not appre-
ciate. He prefers to stretch full
length upon the sill Of an open win
dow and watch passing traffic, but in
this connection amuses himself by
chewing on all the shade cords and
now all the shades on the lower floor
are cordless. One bite usually sewers
the cord close to the shade but If that
is out of his reach he ships of the
cord close to the ring attached to the
lower end. All of which may be
amusing for Tom but is expensive for
the family he has adopted.

STAY-AT-HOMES.
William NICK. Osborne, I'd, came
back to Washington from a Uaca-
tion in NeD England the other day
feeling pretty badly about the
apparent stay-at-homeness OF his
tellop citizens Of the Nations Cap
ital.
From the PennsDiIle terry on the
-ipay up, to Pennspille ferry on the
(. scay back, he did not see q single
! automobile with a District license.
Nor tDds it from lack OF looking, he
says, for the determination to find
at least one such car Dtrtually be-
came an obsession before the uaca-
tion ended.
He dripes through traffic these
days looking pretty angry at his
tellop motorists, sort OF as II they
had let him dosnn on his pdcation.

GROUP of Washing

A GROUP of Washingtonians
" who went fishing down the
~ Bay the other day found
4 \ sport that was lot more
amusing: namely. watching neo-
phyte fisherman working up to a day
on the water. The neophyte knew
absolutely nothing about boats and
even that knowledge was obscured
by a deep alcoholic haze.
II want boat" he ordered.
you can take that one" said the
proprietor of a boatery, but you'll
have to bail it out"
The drunk climbed into the boat,
grabbed bucket and started bailing
out the well in the bottom in which
live bait is kept and which is 50 de-
signed that the water remains at q
constant level.
The more he bailed, the larger
grew the crowd watching him, and,
of course, the water flowed into the
we'll as fast as he tossed it out.
After about half an hour of strenu-
GUS effort, the alcoholic fog lifted and
the neophyte saw the whole thing
clearly. He was deeply hurt by 1t all.
NAME.
Those people who encounter
trouble getting their name across
to strangers can find a sympathetic
audience in Felir A. Ury OF the

is accustomed to seeing it appear
as Wry, Vry, Nry-dlmost any Wuy
but Ury-and is about fed up. In
fact, he might almost be said to
be ready to Cry about it.

 Tn general their golf games are similar. Each is deliberate, and painstaking with each shot. They both seem to have great powers oi concentration and apparently can control their shots in tho face oi bad breaks.

 Each player has one recent out- standing triumph to his credit Eippy set Q mid.Atlantlc record Of 274 for 72 holes two weeks ago in winning Q district municipal golf championship in Washington.

 Both Abbott and Rippy arc cap. able of playing tho national anna teur, but won't. -Feippy can't get timo of from the haberdaBhery Btor0 whore ho works; Abbott because of his public links club in paBadGna isn't aiiiliated with the U. 6. c. A.
