but also of the world.
She planned to touch on her
experiences last summer abroad,

General Federation.
Mrs. Poole based her talk
mainly on the perplexing ques

operating with the NRA and
other organizations which are
aimed at bettering conditions.

WASHINGTON TIMES. WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY 21. 1934
AROUND THE CAPITAL
By JOHN SNURE, Jr.
The “New Deal” has not only ♦
had a beneficial effect on the
economic pulse of the nation
but on the physical pulse of the
nation’s legislators.
Dr. George W. Calver, Capi
tol physician, has the task of
prescribing for Senators and
Representatives and has often
been known to protest at the
health of his patients.
In the present session, how
ever, Dr. Salver says that there
has been a marked Improve
ment.
Perhaps It was that national
prescription that “Doctor”
Franklin Delano Roosevelt pre
scribed that was filled back in
the Utah drugstore on Decem
ber 5.
Like a Peace Parley
There is a well-known delica
tessen on Connecticut Avenue,
which bears the name of one of
the mildest and best-behaved
men known to the night lifers
of the town.
Consequently, the patrons of
the delicatessen were somewhat
startled by the loud and boister
ous voices that emanated from
the kitchen of the establish
ment the other eve.
It developed that the wife of
one of the owners was of the
opinion that she had heard a
waitress make certain defama
atory remark about her and se
lected the kitchen for a strenu
ous verbal duel (verbal by inter
i ference and not by preference).
With all those cleavers and
overgrown butcher knives back
there, too!
Did He EtoN?
Gordon Chance is the bearer
of a tale of culinary art that
may or may not be true.
He says a young wife whom
he knew entered the field of
matrimony with absolutely no
knowledge of cooking, but was
an excellent seamstress.
Her husband was fond of
chicken, so his wife bought one
of the birds and placed it in the
oven at her home.
The husband came home that
night and found her in the
kitchen seated at a table on
which was an alarm clock, a
needle, thread and scissors.
She was scanning the cook book.
When questioned as to the va
rious articles on the table she
replied:
..

Joys of Repeal
Two inebriates staggered out
of a first-rate downtown hotel
the other eve and hailed a
cab.
The first taxi rolled up. but
the boys apparently did not
like its appearance and hailed
a second into which they
stepped and gave a destination
which would have meant a 20-
cent fare.
The first cabby was so
aroused that he refused to get
out of the way of the cab in
Which the drunks were seated.
He and the second driver
started a fist-fight.
And the two inebriates stood
by and cheered!
Pavement Patter
Max Farrington and Len
Walsh have excellent reputa
tions for their work in coach
ing the George Washington
football team last fall but the
boys say that they made “de
lightful” chaperones at that
dance at the G Street school
the other night when assisted
by Mrs. Farrington and Dottie
Mitchell.. .A wisecracker called
in the midst of a recent snow
storm to say that he wanted to
know “whether the money the
District spends to keep the
streets free of fallen snow is a
‘slush fund’ ”.. .Janet Sheppard,
daughter of Senator Morris
Sheppard, who was so well
known about town a few years
back when she went to school
here, was seen in the Senate gal
lery the other day listening to
the debates... Lawyers around
Juvenile Court say that the new
occupant of the bench, Fay
Bentley, is indicating by her
actions in the first few days that
she is going to be a very good
judge.. .The task of keeping up
with Nancy and Larry Weir is
getting rather difficult these
days since they have taken up
the practice of touring the coun
try on week-ends without letting
anyone know where they are
going.. .Doris Wolfe has for
saken horseback riding recently
and, although she claims that it
is because of the bad weather
and muddy ground, there are
some people who recall that the
last time out she dismounted be
cause of the whim of her horse.
