FROM an alley to an embassy
bedroom is the pathway trod

ribs were protruding last week
and who now feeds on English mutton
chops, with a mug of musty ale on
the side.
The well-known secretary of a

most other delicacies offered until
some one placed the chops and ale on
the kitchen floor and started a new
cat custom.
So attached has the attache become

BETTER DAYS COMING
A salesman stepped out of a hat
store near Fourteenth street and
Pennsylvania avenue the other day,
surveyed the number of hatless
heads that went by and remarked
rather philosophically:
“Well, we will have a lot of hats
to sell when it snows.”

STRANGE STRONGBOX.
VITHAT will undoubtedly be the
’’ strangest object ever dumped out
of a corner stone will appear when
the strongbox is dug from the founda
; tion of the old gun foundry where the
sheet-metal shop known as Building
No. 28 now stands in the Navy Yard.
It will be the amputated leg of Col.
I Ulric Dahlgren. 20-year-old son of
Admiral John A. Dahlgren who. in
1863 was chief of the Bureau of Ord
nance in the Navy Department.
The brass tablet, now 72 years old.
says. “Within this wall is deposited
the leg of Col. Ulric Dahlgren. U. S.
V., wounded July 6. 1863. while skir
mishing in the streets of Hagerstown
with the rebels after the battle of
Gettysburg.’’
Fired with patriotic zeal, Ulric’s
father determined that posterity
I should recognize the family name as
one forever irrecovably linked with
soldiery. He lit upon the idea of a
{ lull military funeral for his son's leg.
[ later to be deposited in a box in the
comer stone cavity. With Marine.
and bluejackets and high officials
j looking on. he stood by while the leg
was cemented up.
Less than a year later the Admiral
stood by again while his son's dead
body was lowered into a grave in the
West Laurel Hill Cemetery in Phila
delphia. The boy had lived to go
.::::
once more Into battle, but was am
bushed and slain on the read to
Richmond.

WAITING LIST.
Here’s a tip-off on the shortage
of apartment space about the
Capital this Fall. Gustave Ring,
who is putting finishing touches to
Colonial Village, the F. H. A. spon
sored project near Clarendon, Va.,
says he has received more than
10,000 requests for apartments.
Tenants are now moving in to the
first completed buildings, but the
27S apartments were all signed for

WHOOPING IT UP.
TITTLE GRACE ADAMS HOWARD
was preparing to celebrate her
second birthday at the home of her
parents, Mr. and Mrs. O. Adams How
ard, 4940 Hillbrook lane. Then her
older sister. Jeanne Page Howard, age
5. fell ill with the whooping cough.
Soon afterward Grace also caught it.
It looked pretty dismal for any
party. But next door her two friends.
Sally and Dicky Harris, children of
Mr. ajid Mrs. Stanley R. Harris, be
came 111, too. It was the whooping
cough.
Well, the birthday party was held.

MARK OF SUPERSTITION.
The more superstitious visitors
to the Capitol look upon the
catafalque of Lincoln as a harbin
ger of good luck. It has become
the custom for these visitors to
place their toe against the canopied
stage and make a wish, but they
seem to give little consideration
for the spot worn on the historie

COINCIDENCE?
D ESIDENTS of Alexandria, who had
their peaceful slumbers rudely in
terrupted near midnight Sunday and
at 6 a.m. Tuesday, by the loud and
continuous whistling of a steam en
gine siren at the railway yards there,
are puzzling over the possible connec
tion of the whistle sounds with the
shooting and death of Senator Huey
Long.
Although railway officials said that
engine whistles frequently get hung
up when their steam valves become
stuck, they could not explain the
coincidence of the whistles being
sounded off at the two times when
news of the shooting and of the
death of Louisiana's Senator reached
Alexandria.
Already awakened by newsboys'
cries of "extra" Sunday night, Alex
andria's sleeping citizenry was pre
vented for a full 35 minutes from
returning to the arms of Morpheus
by a steady rhythm of eerie sounds,
distinctly heard in all sections of the
city and finally traced to the railway
yards. Again Tuesday they lost an
other precious hour s slumber when
the whistling again Joined the news
boys’ yells of "extra” in reference to
Senator Long's death.

■ MISUNDERSTOOD” AT 5.
TF young John DeCourcy, 5 yean
Aold. Somerset, Md., grows up with
the conviction that women do not
understand men, the experience of
learning to ride a bicycle probably
will be a factor in his conclusion.
One of his neighbors watched John's
wild careening flight down Somerset's
main street recently, certain that the
end would be disaster. When boy and
bicycle ended up In a pretael-Uke tan
gle a few yards away, she rushed
over to offer whatever aid the situa
tion demanded.
But John was completely the mas
ter of the moment. Ignoring scuffed
knees and elbows and the humiliation
of his posture, he observed with a
smile:
”1 guest there's no more fun In the
world than riding a bicycle."
