Newcomers to the Capital,
Mr.. and Mrs. John Martin-he
is with the Securities and Ex-
change Commission-are find
ing their way about with great
ease and, seen at the Heigh Ho
Club the other evening, she
made a pretty picture in her
dark wine colored gown, which
was cut on the bias, and
trimmed with several rhine
stone clips. She is a Junior
Lacquer from Cleveland and
before coming here they made
their home in Detroit.
When a Capital girl marries
a Navy man, there is always
one thing which may be count
ed upon. Sooner or later they,
or she, will return to Wash
ington, if not for duty, more
than likely she will come to
visit her family home.
Such is the case with En-
sign and Mrs. Richard Long
street Poor, who have been in
Norfolk for several months,
after station in Pensacola
where they went following
their marriage a couple of
years ago. Mrs. Poor is the
former Peggy English, daugh-
ter of DR.. and Mrs. Merton A.
English. While Ensign Poor
is at sea, and that tour is due
to start early in December, she
and their 14-months-old son,
Richard Longstreet Poor, jr.,
will make their home with her
parents at their Massachusetts,
Avenue residence.
Peggy and her sister, Mil
dred, who is now Mrs. Robert
Winton Eli OFT, and their
brother, Merton English, jr.,
who is married to the former
Betty West, have always been
popular m m b ers Of the
younger set in the Capital.
The girls made their debut the
same season and were widely
feted prior to their respective
marriages.
One who favors blue for her
shopping costume is Mrs. Oscar
Coolican, whose tailored wooden
suit and tiny brimmed hat of
a powder blue shade were
complimented by an angora
slipover sweater of lipstick
red. She wore a single strand
of pearls and her accessories
were of luggage tan.

Keech to Renew Plea
For Legislation to
Reduce Number

Completing the semi-annual in

mission revealed there are 4,470
taxicabs in operation here, more
than ever before. For some years
now with cabs beyond the 1000
mark, Washington has stood Sec
ond only to New York in the num-
Der of taxis.
Vice Chairman Richmond B.
Keech, of the commission, an
nounced that he will renew efforts
at the next session of Congress to
have legislation enacted limiting
the number of taxiS to 1000.
Such legislation was sought at
the last session as means of re-
ducing traffic hazards here. 1t
was proposed to bring about the
reduction gradually by refusing to
issue additional licenses upon
original application after a certain
time limit had been set and also
in cases of voluntary surrender or
revocation of licenses.
Mr.. Keech said limiting the
number of cabs would not neces-
state a raise in fares. Peoples
Counsel William A. Roberts an
nounced he would support the
commission in cutting the number

PARK HAS NEW
ENTRANCE

A new entrance into Rock
Greek Park was opened without

The roadway for three years
has been under construction
along Piney Branch Rd. 1t is
1000 feet long and enters the
park under Tiger Bridge on Six
tenth st. N. w., just north OF
Spring Road.
The road was designed to re-
lieve congestion on upper Six
tenth Street. Yesterday workmen
simply removed wooden barriers
at the entrances of the road, but
little traffic passed over it.
The road was started as relief
project and, after several inter
ruptions, was taken over a year
ago by the Works Progress Ad-
miniStration.

Claims Some Workers

'BE.WARE OF DEATH"

This is the title of a sign ap-
pearing in the window of a house
at 319 Linworth Pl. S. w. The
sign adds that anyone attempting
to enter the premises may run
into trap and get shot"
The owner of the building and
author of the sign also has an
other tackled to the front door Of
the house, proclaiming that:
This property is occupied by

next door,"
On the front Of the "office''
are two other signs. One reads:
wholesale Printers. 81 up. Open
II a. m. to II p. m" The other
says: Agents wanted"
Across the street from these
premises, laborers and huge ma
chimes can be seen at work wreck
ing two-story houses to make way
for new Federal buildings.
Questioned today about the
mysterious placard, Reverend
Blackwell, who says he "doeS
quite a bit of church work." but
who declined to explain with
what church he Is connected, ex.
planned:
81 put the sign up there a
couple of days ago because some
men who said they were en-
plOyed by the contractor on this
wrecking job going on around
here got in the house, and 1
want to keep them out"
Asked If he had been having
any trouble with the Federal Gov
eminent concerning the purchase
of the house, the owner replied
that he had talked to some Gov
eminent men, but no agreement
had been reached. Later he de-
clared:
"SOme of these men hanging
around here who claim they are
labOrers on this wrecking job
went into the house the other
day, and they tore part of my
house away. This contractor
seems to think that, because he
is wrecking the rest of these
houses around here, he can
wreck mine, too. But they can't
do that until they agree on some
kind of price,"

everything runs in cycles. =.
Back in TITS they had taxation
without representation, too.
Funny thing. the early settlers
of this country were mostly
British and French, but some
how we've never been able to get
a settlement out of them since. =
OF course, things have =
changed a lot since 1776, when

Those revOlutiOniStS who met

Total Attendance Approx

approximately $4,000 bathers patron.
ICED the Municipal Swimming Pool this
summer, it was reported today by city
officials in charge. This number exceeds
by 1000 the total of last year.
This years receipts were approximately

, The weather played an important part
in the success of the pool this year. The
months of July and August were excep-
tionally hot and as result the pool
did good business. During the month of
June the weather was cool and the pool
was not patronized to any great ex-
tent.
