. The Sidewalks of Washington BY THORNTON FISHER Those who visited the British ships Calcutta and Cairo last week must _have observed a young man on post near the captain's cabin of the Cal- ,cutta, He wore a . white hat, after| JOWSEF ENERV the fashion of our warrant officers. His uniform was a natty blue with gold chevrons. Against the wall of “the corridor which he guarded stood a largw glass case, filled with brilliant silver tro phies, won by the| athletic member. of the crew. There were|] no less than 100 cups bearing ins victory in the 100-yard dash, hurdles, ragby, boxing. ete. Back of the young man and hang- ing over a desk was a key cabinet. Keys to the fireroom, messroom, hos- pital—and a key, If you please, to the spirit room. The key to the spirit room was missing, but the hook on which it hung was there and dis- tinctly marked by & small sign. The name of the young non-com is Joseph Hgnry Bubb, and he is cap- | tain’s steward. It is unfortunate that W8 cannot reproduce his accent. His name, as he pronounces it, is “Jow- suf "Enerey Boob." 'E ‘as_bean in the nivy heleven | y¥ars. We suggested that he would | no doubt be glad to see old England &gain or Southampton. his home town. | Yes. he would be pleased to get hack. | but, of course. all his folks live in | tha United States. His mother and father came to this country 12 yea ago and are American citizens living | in Los Angeles. His brother is “assistant hank man- ager” of a Los Angeles bank. His| sister married an American and has three children. “Well,” said the writer, “I suppose you will eventually make your home here, too. “No, sir, I think T shan’t,” he re- plied. “You see, sir, I shall get a pension after serving in his majes service for 22 years.” He would for- feit his pension if he should nlove off British territory. He might, he said, take up residence at Montreal, but he | could not live in America as much as he would like to. In the meantime he has 11 years more to serve and he intends to see the world. The men of the ships, he said. missed the pub houses over here, although each received a “hawlf pint of toddy™ a day on ship. > It was getting late. A bugle sounded | abgve, and we stepped ashore to the | gramaphonic strains of an English music hall song. * ok ok x A Washington resident.arranged to meet some motoring friends at Union Station last Sunday. The New Jersey license on the car in which they arri ed immediately marked them for out- of-towners. The Washington acquaint- ance had scarcely stepped into the car, when the ominous sound of escap- ing a.r informed them of a Dlmclure,[ They therefore drew up to the curb a block away from the station. and Jagked up the machine. ring the 15 minutes in which they were engaged in changing tires the party was approached by three pefsons. The first was a lady. who offered them an unknown magazine at 25 cents a copy. She was followed by’a man who offered his services as a guide about town. Naturally they wanted to see all the interesting sights and he could furnish the said ptions tndicative of | other night |zuest is a return ticket to Richmond, which she wished to dispose of.

How many more might have solicited the visitors had the car remained at the curb longer is a question. A BT It is a mystic hour at 2 a.m. Espe- clally in the lobby of a hotel. Early in the evening or at the dinner hour fashionably garbed ladies and well at- | tired men lend a colorful charm to | the lounges and corridors of our local hostelries, The scene hanges con- hly by midnight, and at 2 o'clock ay witness strange things. It was at just such an hour the When a_collarless, but | otherwise fairly well-dressed man en- tered one of Washington's besi inns and approached the night cles His condition might be described inebriated. The night officer, observ- ing his more or less uncertain stride, took a position at the counter. The courteus clerk greeted the stranger and in- quired his room number. larless person couldn't recall the number, and he was at a loss to remember his name, so the obliging clerk turned the regis ter arovnd and asked the gentle. man if he could identify his sig- nature on the he could not. re you from?” asked the “COULDNT IDENTIFV| HIS SIGNATURE page. clerk. “From NS man hershey,” replied the here?” again inquired the clerk. “From Pittsburgh,” was the reply. “Are you, sure vou have a room here?” asked the kindly clerk. “Suresh thing,” s=aid the inebriated one. Somehow, the sight of the un- | offending watcher irritated the man, and he walked toward him in a menac- attitude. Then he began to ream threats at the officer. It was a delicate situation for both the clerk and officers. To offend a serious matter. On the other hand. they could not per- mit oaths and shrieks to annoy the hona fide guests who might be awakened. The stranger, however, solved the problem himeelf when he struck savagely at the uniformed man before him. 1In less than 30 seconds he was propelled through the corridor and ejected from the place. * ok ok ok There is nothing in this country so impressive, perhaps, as a session of the Supreme.Court. Clad in their dignified habiliments of office, the members of the court inspire the vis- tor with a peculiar respect for the administration of justice as exempli- fled by our highest tribunal. Last Friday certified for practice in the Supreme Court. Each in his turn was escorted before Chief Justice Taft. When he had satisfied the court of his quali. friendliest “ voice, said, “Mr. M—, please step to the clerk's desk and take the oath.” Each applicant was addressed by name. There was some- thing distinctly personal about the procedure—an air of friendliness about it. The young men who took sights for a nominal charge. Next Wwas a middle-aged lady who had a the oath will be better citizens and lawyers for the experience. WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO B BY DR. MEHRAN K. THOMSON. Misery loves company social animals. We enjoy the com- pany of others. We enjoy it more if ve are the center of attraction. At least some recognition, deference and esteem on the part of our fellows is absolutely essential to happiness. The recognition may come to us in the form of praise for some great public sérvice we have rendered or in the form of synpathy for some mis- fortune. Almost any calamity may be cheerfully endured if there are those who admire our courage. ‘We want sympathy, then, as a means of securing the companionship and recognition of our fellows. OQur thirst* for sympathy leads us still farther. There is a tendency to mag nify our misfortunes in order to re- ceive greater sympathy. We become heroes in our own eyes and in the| eyves of others. Many a martyr has welcomed the devouring flames with! Jov and gratitude. Men and women who have some ter- rible affliction are radiant in their appreciation of the good will and sym- pathy of' thelr neighbors. Perhaps the affliction is their only claim to recognition. They glory in it. Chil- dren and adults too often boast of their hard luck. It is a real thrill to be regarded as a champion in any- thing. “Look at my sore thumb. Bet you never had one as bad as that.” “Oh, that's nothing. My brother, Bill, had his whole hana cut off in the sawmill.” Sometimes people unconsciously become sick or refuse to get well be- cause they receive so much more sym- pathy when {ll. A woman who was We are by her husband with the utmost con- sideration. The neighbors claim that she made a complete recovery imme- diately upon the death of her hus- band. At times all of us feel that we are misunderstood and unappreciated. Syn.pathy under these conditions is as welcome as the water of the spar- kling fountain to famished lips. We want sympathy because sym- pathy provides companionship and recognition and puts us in the spot- light, even if only temporarily. (Coprright. 1927.) o Beet and Spinach Salad.
