Having spent all of the first trip trying to fig ure out the screwy street system which is built on the fallacy that a circle is the shortest distance between two points, I'd take it over again to see the sights.
 I would spend at least five days doing all the things you can do for nothing (see the preceding col umn and throw in the cultural visits to the Phillips, Freer, Co., coran and National art galleries. I would spend a quarter going mp in the Capitol dome and at least 25 minutes before the shrouded statue of Huey Long in the Fall of Statuary. For several lnenths now this figure, draped in sheets from head to base, has given the hall such a macabre air that even the Capitol guides turn aside and start talking about something else when they come to it.
 If I felt like staying up late, I'd barge into Washingtons night life. It doesn't compare with many other cities but it isn't exactly a blank. It ranges from a burlesque show, where you will see a lot of congressman, to dancing and d floor show on the ShOreham ter race, where you'll sec a lot mose congressman.
