WHAT 4 FUNNY WORLD IT WOULD BET
BY THE MAN In THE TOWER
Good Evening.


What would the world come TO
With nothing 10 argue about,
No tumult or dissension,
Nothing TO raise a Shout2
Just how would 1t seem
II all parties agreed,
If there was no politics,
II there was no greed2
Surprising each and everyone
Thought the government was firc,
And II q leader showed the way
Everybody fell in line.
Just picture all our citizens agreeing
on questions how, when and where,
DO they actually fear the consequences
OF augmenting the Nine Old Men?
Can you imagine yourself contented
And not hankering 10 raise a shout,
Millions OF folks agreeing
With nothing TO argue about?

ALLEGED DRUNKEN NEGRO
CAUSE AUTO ACCIDENT

A chase by three State policemen
ended at Georgetown, Delaware when
the driver of an alleged stolen auto
mobile struck the rear of a trailer
loaded with pigs and turned over in
front of the Georgetown police sta
ton.
Lee Travis, 80 year old negro of
Cambridge, Md, the driver, whom po-
lice said was intoxicated, was arrest
ed on seven charges and sentenced to
serve $50 days in the Sussex County
Jail on six of the charges by Magis-
trate Wright of Georgetown. He is
being held for the Court of General
Sessions on the larceny charge.
According to police, Travis stole
an automobile owned by Edward C.
Evans, manager of the Plaza Theatre,
while it was parked on a Milford
street. Evans saw Travis drive off
with the car and telephoned police.
While driving north on the DUPONT
Boulevard, Sergeant Knecht, of the
Penny Hill Station, saw the car ap-
preaching him from the opposite d.
rection, being driven at a high rate
of speed and zig-zagging across the
highway. He stopped and hailed the
car but the negro continued, so Knecht
gave chase.
In the meantime, two other State
policemen, Privates Lamb and Hick-
man, started north TO head the man
off. They also attempted to stop the
car but met with the same results.
They then swung their car in behind

Reunion

Two Washington Times press
men lifted their mugs of ale today
and toasted the missing member
of the Three MusketeerS," carry
ing out their Arrnistice Day GUS
tom of 10 years.
It all began November II, 1919,
when three young ex-soldiers met
and drank their first toast.
There was Cornelius Ryan, late
of the Twenty-sixth Infantry. hard
fighting regiment of the famed
First Division. And there was
John Stone of Company F, Forty
fifth Infantry, Ninth Division.
The third was Arthur Reds" ORR
son, of the First Gas Regiment,
Company E.
In the shadows of the big
presses they met then and pledged
to meet each Armistice Day and
drink a toast to health and happi-
ness and, as the passing years
dimmed the memory of the war,
to recall their experiences.
In 1884 "taps" was sounded for
Reds" There was a note of sad
ness in the reunion that ArmiStice

on" as good soldiers. Today they
paid their tribute to their missing

today.
Likewise the District appropria-

ate will be subjected to a complete
study designed to bring it in line
with the wishes of local residents
so far as those wishes can be
determined, the Senator asserted.
Senator Thomas indicated that
he doesn't intend to pass up any
chance to hear what the city
wants. Hearings on the bill will
be open to all interested parties
when the measure is before his
committee.
About the only general idea the
Senator has on the bill right now,
he said, is that economy should
prevail as far as possible in order
to hold down the tax burden.

claring the Takoma Park police
station is unsuited for protection
Of health of employees as well as
prisoners held in the cells, the
Montgomery county grand jury
last night recommended that the

be transferred to Silver Spring.

report to Judge Charles w. Wood
ward after a three-day session, the
last of which was devoted to in
specting county buildings in COM
pany with County Commissioner
Frank H. Karn, president of the
county board.
Regarding the Takoma Park sta
ton attention was called to the
fact that last winter "a number of
employees were taken i'll on duty
at that station and their illness,
because of the nature thereof
pneumonia and La gripe), justi-
flies the belief that conditions in
this building are unfavorable."
At present three county police
men and two desk clerks paid by
the county are on duty at the sta
ton in addition to the three town
policemen.
The county inquisitorial body
further recommended that there
be a substantial increase in the

ment and reported that during the
session it examined 80 witnesses
in is cases and returned 10 indict-
mentS.
