You may not be reckless driver
but the OTHER FELLOW may be.
Evening star., 1948-02-29
By STANLEY BATE

THE PASSING YEARS have
Il wrought a change in the
market place.
Gone the day when the
market was all things to the
populace - bazaar, forum,
bourse, rialto and promenade.
The modern marta thing of
brick, mortar and steel, elec-
tricity, refrigeration, tele-
phones and truck delivery-is
a place of business.
It's a long way from the
market place of, say, ancient
Athens, where the philosoph-
ers and politicians came to
harangue, people to gossip and
pass the time of day, and
where commerce was only
incidental. Today the pace is
brisk, space precious and a
sage is-well, just another
condiment for sale.
Yet Washington markets
are not the grim places that
such commercial intentness
would imply. They are not
without a certain informality
and picturesqueness. There
are still colorfui personalities,
and the tempo of trade has
not ruined individualism.
One gracious note came re-
Gently to break the throb of
business at Center Market,
Fifth and X streets NV.
Music is now piped through
loud speakers, and the" Gus
toner negotiates for his chops
and cheeses to the strains of
Strauss and Cole Porter.
Center Is the largest and
oldest of the six major retail
markets in the District. Some
IS dealers in food and flowers
hold forth In the long, arch
ceilinged structure. Some of
them have been with the
market for decades, dating
back long before it moved
from Pennsylvania avenue in

for the Archives Building.
They have dealt over the
counter with many of Wash
ington's notahles, delivered to
still others. Some merchants
can remember when william
Howard Taft. before he be-
came President, used to tour
the aisles for his oysters,
roasts, and eggs. The second
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson. who
shopped at the market long
before she became first lady,
still comes occasionally to
buy. The Coolidges, Hoovers
and Roosevelts we're regular
customers of the market-on
a delivery basis. Senators and
Representatives, members of
the diplomatic corps and
many of the towns cave
dwellers" are on the customer
books of the merchants.
Among the markets an
clients is George Thomas Rob-
ertson, 80 years old but at his
stand every day, shelling peas
and shining his fruit display.
He's been with the market for
rs years and says he can re-
member when pork was S
cents a pound and bacon 10.
There are the Fred Weigerts
Mr.. and Mrs.-who bring in
meats and vegetables from
their Maryland farm and who
sold to the White House
through three Roosevelt ad-
ministrations, supplying, for
instance, 20 dozen eggs when
the King and Queen of Eng
land came to visit.
Mrs. r. c. Willie of Vienna,
Va, and her sister, Mrs. Annie
Weekly of Mclean, have sold
their farm products for 10
years. Thomas Calomiris, who
came from Greece at the age
of IL. has been at his fruit
stand for the same length of
time. Glen Krogmann has
been a marketman for 40
years, and behind the counter
he Is never without his little
black derby.
Outside. at a sidewalk stall,
is "Hattie"-Mrs. Hattie Rob-
ertson, 73, a massive colored
woman who has been selling
medicinal herbs for Is years.
She explains the healing quail
tiles of her wares: Wild cherry
for the appetite, red oak for
sore throat, walnut bark for
skin eruptions, gall of earth

ach trouble. life of Alaska for

luck"
How did she learn about
herbs? She was, she says,
born with the gift-a bless
ing from God"
And SO 1t goes-the market

the market place has lost its
bizarreness. This is true at

BUD ABBOTT, LOU
 COSTELLO IN BILL
 AT 10TH CENTURY

One can chase their blues and troubles away with Bud Abbott and Lou Costello in Hollywood" open ing tonight at the 2oth Century Theatre. It is a comedy, the funniest picture, it is said, ever to co-star the two aces of laughmaking.
 Bud and Lou are tarbers this time, but their extra -curricular activi- ties Tn an attempt to become actors agents and get into the big money" lead them into a fabulous maze of intrigue, matchmaking, Kidnapping and a thousand-and-one incidents beth off and on the movie sets.
 Abbott, as usual has his hands full with the simpering and unfor- tunately impulsive Costello, who gets them both into all sorts of hilarious scrapes, climaxed by fight and chase atop a roller coaster, the like of which you have never seen before.
 There is always romance to balance the laughs in an Abbott Costello howler, and this time it is in the capable hands of pretty Frances Rafferty and Robert Stanton. new conner to Hollywood who proves he can sing as well as act.
