Random Observations of Interesting
Events and Things.
VENIRE.
THE way they move the various
branches of Police Court
around is pretty confusing,
even disconcerting, to some
Of the regular patrons of the place.
A woman habitue of the place,
whose fate was destined to be con
sidered in jury court, wandered into
the wrong branch the other morning.
Beating herself comfortably, she
glanced around the room until her
eyes fell upon the jury box. Obviously,
never in her long experience had she
seen such a jury. If ever there was
flotsam in a jury box, this, the wom
an’s eyes told her, was it.
It was a direct affront to her sense
, and justice and, unable to keep quiet
about it, she approached a bailiff.
"Where,” she said, "did they get
that jury?”
"That, madam, is no jury,” the at
tendant explained. “That’s last night's
haul of bums. Jury court is on the
floor above.”

STATED SIMPLY.
An operative who is one of
Dr. Hans Kindler's best cus
tomers got an earful of non
technical music criticism when
she was waylaid by another
symphony patron after a recent
concert.
"You know,” said the latter,
"I really do like music; good
music, l mean. I don’t like this
jazz. I like good music—only I
don’t like it to be too technical.
My husband says I don’t really
appreciate music if its too techi
S cal, but I don’t really under
stand it. But I really like good
music, if it is not too technical,
because I like the—well—the
sound of it. I like those chorda
and—well, anyway—the sound
of it. I guess that’s really it—
the sound of it."

JOKE.
TTNCLE SAMS R. O. T. C. unit at
the University of Maryland has
Its share of practical jokers.
Warren Bonnette, a member of the
unit, was standing rigidly at attention
awaiting the inspecting officer when a
dull, muffled ring began.
There were many puzzled and
amused faces ^h the ranks and disci
pline hit a new low before Bonnette
was given time to remove an old
back.

VISUAL EDUCATION.
An interpretative dance num
ber in a local movie house is
introduced with the announce
ment that Mr. Blank is respons
ible for the “Chirograph]/.”
ESCORT.
VEEP ING old agreements imposes
some funny odd jobs on Uncle
Sam.
Right now, for instance, a Coast
Guard cutter, the Red Wing, is acting
as escort for the seal herds of the Pa
cific making their way to the Summer
breeding grounds in the Pribilofl Is
lands.
It is an annual Springtime job and
it grows out of an old agreement writh
the Indians designed to keep white
men away from the pack on its north

TOLL.
CUPREME COURT guards are pretty
^ obliging chaps, a woman visitor
to the building learned the other day.
Standing there admiring the spiral
stairways rising from the oval areas
in the rear of the building, she
wondered how many steps there were
between basement and top floor. The
quickest way to find out, she decided,
was to ask the guard.
He said he did not know but if the
lady would wait a few minutes he
would be off duty and would find out
for her. She waited and, sure enough,
he was off duty In a little while. Then
they counted the steps.
One hundred ar.d thirty-one was
the total.

FISH STORY.
Vf ISS McKAY, Australian girl at
tached to the staff of the British
Embassy, will never forget her Intro
duction to the fish of the Potomac
River.
Shortly after her arrival she was a
member of a canoeing party on the
stream whose reputation for quietness
is historic.
By way of making conversation in
keeping with the moment, she ob
served to her companion that she
never had touched a fish, had no idea
what one felt like and no desire to
find out.
But she was destined to find out,
all right Hardly were the words out
of her mouth than a 4-pound bass
leaped out of the water and landed
precisely In Miss McKay’s lap. Miss
McKay screamed, the bass squirmed
and the escort sprang to the rescue,
It was effected (the rescue) without
upsetting the canoe.
Now when Miss McKay goes canoe
ing she tells about the one time she
did touch a fish.
