What? No Skeletons
In Those Closets?
By JACK JONAS

by JAIN JUNAS
The urge to look behind a
closed door is a strong one,
and those doors in the Du-
pont Circle underpass espe-
cially pique the interest.
Are they broom closets?
Not always, the people who
handle such things for the
city explain, although those
In the streetcar tunnel are
broom closets Of a sort, con-
tanning tools for Capital
Transit Co. maintenance men.
Other doors in that part Of
the underpass are "panic
doors"-there to be opened If
something happens to a
streetcar in the tunnel. The
passengers can step through
the doors into the part of the
underpaSs reserved for traffic.
Whether the ''panic" part of
this is supposed to occur
when the streetcar develops
trouble, or when the passen-
gers step into the other part
Of the underpass- especially
during rush hours not
made clear.
Some Of the doors in the
auto traffic part are the re-
verse Of the panic doors. The
others lead to purifying equip
ment. This equipment is au-
tomato. When the carbon
monoxide from all those ex-
hausts reaches a certain point
the engineers say it's well
below the danger point-fans
are turned on automatically
to clear the tunnel.
The smaller openings, look
ing more like windows than
doors, are intake points for
the air to be tested by
the brains Of the purifying
machine.
Topper
A reader says he believes
the bitter sayings Of chill.
dren are more often worthy
Of note than the bright ones.
As an example, he points to
the case of a surgeons SON,
5, who has just had his tom
sils removed.
Appealing to the heart OF
the father above the reason
Of the surgeon, the boy pre-
vailed upon the former to
give him q sip of water.
When he stopped suffering,
the boy said:
That's the last drink Of
water ] take as long as /
live"
Casualty
A lady we know, who Is fond |
OF pets, had her house fumi-
gated last summer to get rid
Of an invasion of fieas. For
two days the place was closed |
up, while the deadly fumes |
did their work. Our friend |
was a bundle of nerves. Sup
pose something was In there |
which could be hurt-a stray |
cat curled up under a sofa, |
say. >.
The operation came of with |
no apparent hitch, however. |
Even the gold fish were re-
membered and removed. Ex-
cept for the fieas, not . single
casualty was discovered-until
yesterday, when the time
came to get out the Christmas
tree decorations.
There they were, the six
boxes Of tinsel balls, just as
they had been neatly packed
away last January. But there
wasn't a CLINT of gold or silver
In the lot. Just row after row
Of little tin balls, with not a
bit more sparkle than so many
cans Of sardines.
The experts say 1t will do 1t
every time. Powerful stuff,
that cyanide.

TIL E P A S T
BY CAROLYN LLOYD

One hundred and twenty-nine
years ago on the Fourth of July
two great American patriots died.
Thomas jefferson, author of the
Declaration of Independence, died
at midday at his home at Month
cello; John Adams, chief advocate
of the Declaration on the floor of
Congress, died at six in the eve
ming in Quincy, Massachusetts,. +,
Both men had been invited to
attend that year in Washington
the celebration of the fiftieth
birthday of the United States.
Though both were still vigorous
of mind, Adams was ninety years
of age and jefferson, eighty-two
and their physical conditions made
it impossible to attend. John
Quincy Adams, son of the elder
statesman, was in the White
House, and he noted with
pleasure that his fathers mes
sage sent to be read at the
celebration was signed by his
own hand. Jefferson's la It
message to his countrymen was a
masterpiece. In it he said: "All
eyes are opened to the rights of
others.-For ourselves, let the an
nual return of this day forever re-
fresh our recollections of these
rights, and an undiminished devo-
ton to them.
The celebration was held in
Washington, and it was not until
several days later that the slow
communications of the time made
known to the people of the United
States that two of the nations
founders had passed away on the
day that they would have chosen
above all others. The strange CO.
incidence was generally considered
to be visible and palpable mani
festation of Divine favor" to the
! two devoted founders and the ma
| ton they had helped bring forth.
That was long ago and some
times today it seems that the
American people are becoming toe
sophisticate or too Indifferent te
celebrate the birthday of our ma
ton. "Why bother, they say
with parades and decorations anc
all the fuss. We can observe the
Fourth without all the commo
ton" Yes, we can; but do we
Without a reminder the day woulc
be just another holiday, accepted
without thought of meaning
Something is needed to make u:
remember the meaning of the mos
important date in our nations his
tory; to make US contemplate with
awe the courage of those men wht
dared to defy mighty empire; tt
make us grateful to them for lay
ing the foundation of our freedom
Corny? Perhaps, but I have al
idea that Thomas jefferson Of
John Adams or James Madison Oh
James Monroe would not find il

corny. Though the flowery oratory
of their day has gone out of style,
their brand of patriotism never
should.
In June, 1926, a committee call
ed on John Adams mad requested
sentiment for a toast to be pre-
sented on his behalf at celebra-
ton of the Fourth in his native
town. II will give YOU, said he,
Independence Forever" When
asked if he wished to add some
thing further, he replied, "Not a
word"
AS July A, 1866, approaches, no
better toast could be found. Every
citizen should salute his flag with
pride and pledge himself to help
maintain Independence Forever"
