at the door.

Beers all right" Gus said.

PRESENTS HIS PROFILE
There was no use, Tino felt, go
ing into that. II would give you
the ten cents myself" he said,
"to have him stay out"
"Why?" Gus said. Hes human.
What's the matter with him any
way?"
Tino took his stand against the
liquor bottles. He sighed. His
fingers played an impatient &C
compartment to his thoughts on
his thin biceps. There was no use,
he reflected, in going into that,
either.
Gus was having his lunch in the
back room when the man came IN
again, several weeks later, and in
stead of going up to the bar ne
seated himself at one of the round
oak tables. A waiter took his
order. A second later, Tino had
expertly, but reluctantly, sliced the
surplus from a glass Of beer and
set it an exact four inches from
the bars roll.
It was about three in the after
noon, the quiet hour. The walters
were cleaning silver in the gr1u.
The electric fans threw cooling
blasts toward the tables from be-
hind the bar. Suddenly there was
a slight thud. F1icking his eyes,
Tino saw that the man had slipped
from his chair onto the floor.
Tino's jaw hardened. He raped
the bar with a twisted towel.
"Gus!" he called.
He struck the little bell on the
shelf behind him, glanced fear
fully at the grill entrance, AMI
then slipped under the bar and
went to the door leading to the
back room.
Your customer has tainted out
here" he said shaply. Take him
out"
GUS TO THE RESCUE
Gus hurried into the barroom.
He bent over the man, felt his
forehead and pulse.
"Ice," he said, looking up.
Gimme some ice"
Tho put a towelful Of it on the
bar. A flush of embarrassment
had crept into his high, thin fore
head. His teeth were barred to
their roots.
Quickly" he Missed, before
somebody comes in"
Gus loosened the mans collar
and belt. He applied the ice.
Then, as the man began to regain
consciousness, he brought him to
q S1GG1uS POS1GlOA.
Feel better?" he asked. "Just
be quiet take it easy; you'll
be all right"
The man looked at Gus. His
gaze travelled to Tino, posted with
his arms folded against the liquor
bottles.
Inside" he whispered. looking
at Gus again. Managers office"
Managers office!' Gus said.
There was a puzzled look on his
face, but he got his head under
the mans arm and was bringing
him to his feet when a waiter
came in, followed by the manager
himself.
He took one look at the man,
froze for an instant, then came
rapidly forward.
"Mr. Blackstone!" he said.
whats happened?"
Tino could never remember
what had happened after that.
Every day for a week he waited
for word that he had been dis
charged. But no word came.
Only a letter for Gus on the
company's stationery. postmarked
at Chicago.
And only after Tino had read
the letter and seen with his own
eyes the check for $1,000 did he
begin to wonder if he was as per
feet a bartender as he had
thought.

FUND APPROVED
FOR GATE HOUSES
900 Allotment Will
Finance Relocation on
Constitution Avenue,

A $1,000 public works allotment to
relocate and restore the old stone
gate-houses and gate posts on Con-
stitution avenue at Fifteenth and
Seventeenth streets NV. was ap-
proved today by President Roosevelt
In announcing the allotment, Ad-
ministrator Ickes said action was
taken on recommendation of the Fine
Arts Commission. Many persons and
organizations had requested that some
thing be done about these historic
structures, which had fallen into
neglect.
These stone ornaments were de-
signed and constructed by Charles
Bulfnch. third achitect of the Capitol
They were part of a century-old
landscaping plan which included the
fencing in of the Capitol grounds by
an ornamental iron fence about Z
feet high, set in red sandstone. Por-
tions of this fence and masonry can
be seen today in the grounds of the
Smithsonian Institution.
There were nine gates-two on the
north and two on the south, for car
riages; two on the east and three on
the west, for notwithstanding to
the walks and drives in the grounds.
This system was in use until the
enlargement of the Capitol grounds
in 1874. when the gatehouses and
posts were removed to their present
location on Constitution avenue.
The restoration plans will be exc
cuted by the National Park Service.
The gatehouses will be relocated so
they will face on Constitution ave-
nue.. They will be rehabilltated by
new foundations, new floors and roofs
and repairing of the masonry.

NEW AUDITORIUM
Secretary Shows Interest
in Latest Jefferson
Memorial Plan.

Secretary Of Interior Ickes, who
has refrained for more than a year
from engaging in the controversy.
centering around the proposed Jeffer-
son Memorial, said today he still
believes that public auditorium for
the expression Of free speech would
be a most appropriate memorial to
Jefferson in Washington"
The Secretary expressed much IN
terest in a plan explained to him
recently by Col P M. Anderson,
consulting architect and engineer. who
has an entirely new plan for a JefIes>
son memorial
Mr.. IckeS said he was interested
in this because it would involve tun-
nellng under the river and removing
the existing Railroad Bridge He
thought the plan had merits, but did
not commit himself to it.
Details Of Plan.
Col. Anderson divulged his plan re-
Gently 10 the Board of Trade. 1t in
wolves erection Of the memorial on
an enlarged Washington Airport site.
The central feature would be a SIX
way approach to vehicular bridge
l,000 feet below the Highway Bridge
to replace both the Highway and
Railroad Bridges. Trains would be
routed into the city through tun-
mel under the river connecting With
the tunnel going into Union Station.
Apparently defeated in his efforts to
convince his colleagues on the Thomas
Jefferson Memorial Commission that
the memorial should be built on the
banks OF the Anacostia River at the
end Of East Capitol street, Senator
Ebert D. Thomas, Democrat, Of Utah
said meanwhile he is still convinced
that is the best place for it, after a
four-year struggle. He made it clear,
however, he considers he was beaten
fairly in the commission and that the
matter seems closed.
Meanwhile, the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission was
prepared to devote major part of this
afternoon to a consideration of the
whole development of East Capitol
street, from the Capitol to the Ana
costa River. This embraces the area
heretofore considered as the site for a
memorial to Thomas jefferson. The
planners consulting architect. William
T. Partridge, has prepared preliminary
studies for the improvement of East
Capitol street and these will form the
basis OF the commissions discussions.
