These are men and women who are sént by their respec- tive organizations to investigate the facilities offered by the National Cap- ital. Sometimes these folks make their identity known and consult the Wash- ington Convention Bureau, while others maintain discreet silence and look around “on their own." Each year Washington is becoming more favored as a convention city and center for badge-wearers.

All 1 does is to rub and rub and den ah don’ get it all off.” H vail was justified. What curious quirk impels us to draw pictures and make arabesque designs in a phone booth, particularly if the walls are of marble or stone? Merely for our amusement the other day we made a note of the inscriptions in one booth. We found these names; Gus, Trix, Mabel, Dotty. There were two crudely drawn faces. “All in the afternoon,” was one of the inscriptions. Another said, “Ask for Sam.” Still was, “Keep still a minute.” Evidently the last one was intended as_a warning to a talkative friend. Besides these, there were at least a score of different designs drawn on the wall. Those who engage in this practice (and so many of us do) may well be compared to the ~folks who scribble _on table cloths. One of the most peevish men we have ever seen was & chap who while making a diagram on a res- taurant table cloth was handed a plece of paper by a waiter.
