THE ICE AGE

The ice is very plentiful here today, Iris all the trees. It shines like radiated silver, While clingng to the eyes. Iris true that have passed the ice age, When great frozen icy mass Covered all this great wide world, Very far away. back in the distant past Some wise said this ill age lasted Twenty thousand years more When the whole great earth was frozen From the highest mountain top To every distant ocean shore. It is said that appeared In ths cold and dismal past Ana it may be that is why he seems SO cold Here about in these future ages He is keeping warm while growing old So thanks for aI the coal and all the electric heat And thanks for all the nice things, we have to eat And thanks for al the sunshine that be beat And wen thank the oyer for such glorious least Thus passed the mighty Ice Age, An Of doubt and fear, An age Of frozen waters, st n Without bit of cheer. -

Park Police Cite
200 in Checkup
On Driving Ban
Majority Are Found
At Swimming Pools;
Other Reports Due

Two hundred suspected violators
of the automobile pleasure driving
ban were reported by Federal Park
police today, after a week end in
which thousands of local residents
visited parks and Fairgrounds to
seek relief from the heat.
Most of the 200 who al.egedly
drove their cars for pleasure were
found near swimming pools and in
the vicinity of Hains Point, park
police said. Others will face hearings
before their ration boards because
their automobiles were observed
near the Watergate, where the Ma
tlonal Symphony Orchestra last
night presented the first of it's sum-
mer open-air concerts.
District police and Is inspectors
from the local Office of Price Ad-
mlnlstration were checking for pos
slble violations of the pleasure driv-
ing restriction yesterday. Their re-
ports, however, had not been COM
pleted this morning
Catch" Is Largest.
The citing of 200 motorists by
Park Police represented the largest
catch Of pleasure driving sus-
poets in the parks since the ban
was imposed.
IS Listed in Silver Spring.
Meanwhile Montgomery County
police of the Silver Spring substa-
ton said about rs motorists will
have to make explanations to their
ration boards because their auto
mobiles were parked Saturday night
near the Silver Spring Lions Club
charity carnival on Georgia avenue
near the District line, A number of
the cars observed there carried Dis
trlct license plates, the officers re-
ported
In statement today Dr.. Kermit
Smith Of the Silver Spring Lions
Club said it was unfortunate that
SO many names or license numbers
were turned in At the carnival
grounds Saturday night
This year our carnival is placed
closer to the streetcar line so that
RESIDENTS OF Silver Spring and the
District are within easy walking
distance of the carnival grounds"
he pointed out we urge all those
coming TO the carnival to use means
OF transportation other than their
automobiles"
More Gas Available.
The apparent increase during the
week end in the use of automobiles
was attributed in some quarters to
a greater availa biiity Of gasoline in
the District.
Gasoline supplies here in the past
week were adequate to meet the
needs Of motorists within the frame
O. the gasoline rationing program,
a spokesman for the American Auto
mobile Association reported. While
finding it still might have been a
problem for some motorists. gasoline
was obtainable at many stations.
An increase in the number of calls
for tire and repair services has been
noticeable within the past few DAYS,
according to service station and
garage men.
