The Sidewalks of Washington BY THORNTON FISHER. : A Ten motorists apparently did not be- lieve in ‘signs Wednesday night when they parked their cars on Pennsylvania avenue near Twelfth street in front of three police standards advising that there should be no parking at any time. Among the cars in which police call- ing cards were left were two congres- sional automobiles, one from North Dakota and the other from Nebraska. * ok Kk The man in a soft sport hat and knickers surveyed his vast acres and said, “I'm setting out corn in that field and over yonder I'm planting oats. In that pasture off there by the cluster of trees I will graze my cows this season. In the field to your right I am putting cow peas, Every year I rotate my Tops.” Just then his foreman appeared, and after a brief consultation. departed. A tractor rattled on its way. A hired hand strode into view, carrying hedge shears. ‘A quiet sort of activity per- vaded the place. ‘The main house sat upon the hill and commanded a view of the verdant countryside. Very soon Spring blossoms would burst into bloom and the flower ! beds wonld reveal a profusion of col- ors. Ramblers would be crawling and clinging to an grtls“cauy de- igned trellis, and visitors calling upon our friend would give three cheers for nature. Several hours later we saw an- other man. He was attired in a pair of patched pants ard a shirt punctured with rips and tears. He was on his knees on a tiny grass plot in !front of his house. Ten paces either way and he would be in the next fel- low's yard. He was trying to beautify "he pitifully small area which to him represented the great open spaces, and doubtless he would succeed. i The call of the soil in the Springtime is universal. The Summer shack, if one is so fortunate as to own a shack, | beckons its owner. Hundreds of Wash- ingtonians own or rent such places in the vicinity of the city. Some of the !shacks are crude affairs, fashioned by the owners themselves, while others are pretentious structures, containing all the conveniences of city living. Men whose hands have become tender | throughout the Winter months begin to jdevelop callouses this time of the year. 1The yen to seize a hammer and con- }stmr,t or improve a country place is normal and natural. It is the pioneer instinct which we have never lost. BEAUTY €CHAT A Spring Tonic. At this season of the year most of us |get bored by our usual routine. It is something that hits us with the change | from Winter to Spring. Perhaps the sap coming up has much to.do with it, {and we feel we can no longer stand the confines of a building, a desk, or what- | ever it may be that appears to hold us. yFor those who work all week, this ‘should be the time they begin week end outings, even though it amounted to no more than a half day in the country or the park. Then a complete | change in habits will have a tonic effect also, if the outings are not enough to | stimulate interest in the usual affairs that have become dulled. | I often feel sorry for men that they ;cannot know the wonderful uplift a | woman can get from finding a new hat that suits her perfectly. Artistic | milliners _deserve to be enriched, as they are benefactors to women, chang- ‘ing their whole landscape, by creating ) & lovely headgear for some woman who needed just that to make her happy. I know one woman who always buys & | becoming hat, an extravagant one, every | time she gets slump in her finances. She just cannot worry over money when 1| ON HIS KNEES ON i | | | It is a good thing not to take our- selves too seriously. An actor well known to Washington audiences was on his way home the other night, after having given an excellent impersonation of a man controllcd by evil spirits. Just a few minutes before he had been sendirig chills down the spinal columns of an audience that. gasped as he screeched with fiendish glee and flung himself on the floor. “It's a funny way to have to earn a living,” said he with a chuckle. Most of his roles are villainous ones. It is his business to be foiled by the hero. We have always wondered why it is that most of the professional villains lows. Is it because they tire of being scoundrels in public and want to prove to the world that in reality they are good fellows? We know a man who is a stage villain six nights a week and | twice at matinees. He is up every morn- ing early to take the kiddies to school and does all the family marketing. His wife says that on the day the maid is off he even helps dry the dishes. * ok ok ok ‘That the women of Washington are gravitating toward golf is attested by the fact that they may be seen Satur- days and Sundays on the public and private A This may be a defensive meas- ure or be con- strued to mean that they enjoy the game for the sport’s sake. The “golf widow” is no longer a joke. The ‘‘bridge widower” is le- gion. * Over the week end many women are left alone with chil- dren, to_make the best of their lone- someness, Bridge may be played by foursomes, but golf is a game in which men engage among themselves. * ok ok % There is only standing room for mere mar in the Washington hotels today, and even that is restricted. In a con- vention of men the individual male may be conspicuous, but among women he is a total loss—and looks it. * ok K % ‘Women's organizations have pro-: duced excellent speaking material, until today many of them surpass men. Dur- ing the last political campaign hun- dreds of women proved exceptional ca- pacity for spellbinding. “I knew my wife would make a splendid public speaker,” said the hus- band of one of them, “because she has had so much private practice.” S she knows she has an artistic hat, for she must look charming in it. A becom- ing hat is a great tonic to all women |inclined to be depressed, and fashions are so generous now in making the older women look so much younger. If you feel stale, or nerves on edge, my advice is for you to go out and have a regular debauch in buying the loveliest hat you can afford. Freshen up some frock with added color, exchange your room somewhat with fresh curtains or new pillow slips, or even change your bath by taking it at another hour, or by adding a perfume, or a colored bath salts, for no other reason than a change.

CRAIG. April 19, 1865.—This was generally conceded to be “the most solemn day in the history of Washington” by those who took part in, or witnessed, the fu- nera’, procession and burial services for Abraham Lincoln, victim of an assassin’ bullet. There have been other pressive funeral pageants in Washing- ton when the honored dead was, as this instance, the President of the United States and ‘the obsequies have been riarked by all the reverence and solemnity due to the occasion. But to all this was added today the depth of feeling arising from an almost filial love for the martyr President, who has guided the Naticn successfully through four years of terrible civil war. Never has the Capital City witnessed a funeral procession so immense and reverential as that of today. All day the streets were filled with sorrowing citizens of this and other cities. Trains and boats brought thousands of visitors from near and far. Alexandria, George- town and Baltimore seemed to have depopulated themselves and the cities further north and west were largely represented. The Philadelphia firemen, a superb- looking body of men, who have hereto- fore visited Washington on festive oc- casions in their smart uniforms, came today clad in black broadcloth to pay their reverence to the remains of the President they helped to inaugurate. ‘The City Hall was the central point where various delegations from other cities met under the escort of the local City Councils. The body of the dead President lay in the east room of the White House, where the persons invited to enter the Executive Mansion began to arrive at 11 o'clock in the morning. Mrs. Lincoln did not enter the east room, being too ill from nervous prostration and incip- ient fever brought on by the awful ex- citement and sorrow to which she had been subjected. - The two sons of the martyr President, Masters Thadeus and Robert ~ Lincoln, were among the mourners. President Johnson and the cabinet members were present; also high offi- cials of the executive and judicial branches of the Government, Senators and Representatives, officers of the Army and Navy and representatives of foreign governments. ‘The funeral sermon was delivered by Rev. Dr. Gurley of the New York Ave- nue Presbyterian Church, where the late President worshiped. When_the serv- ices were over at the White House, the long procession moved, with the body in the funeral car, along Pennsylvania ave- nue to the Capitol, where burial services were held before an immense throng in the rotunda. The Capitol nlaza and grounds were filled with a vast and sor- rowing throng.

It is now made by va- rious large glass manufacturers. A reader reminds me that I muffed one recently when I attempted to an- swer that irrepressible query: Why do folks have more colds in the Winter and Spring if exposure to cold and wet has nothing to do with it? In my an- swer I neglected to point out the ab- sence of the ultraviolet influence in the ‘Winter time. ‘The relative proportion of ultraviolet rays in sunlight is lowest in Midwinter and highest in Midsummer, The short- est day in the year falls on or about Midwinter when the noonday sun is lowest and its rays most oblique. Pre- cious little ultraviolet then, even when the sun shines. We avold what little there is by remaining more indoors and covering our skin against the sunlight when we go out. Something in this ultraviolet influ- ence seems to be essential for the devel- opment of immunity against infection in general and respiratory infection in AUNT HET BY ROBERT QUILLEN. “Women don't fool theirselves mo | more than men do, except I ain’t never seen one that didn't blame her fat on somethin’ else besides eatin’ too much.” | (Copyright. 1929.) particular. Consider, for instance, the great benefit obtained from sunbath treatment for tuberculosis among chil- dren. As they gradually acquire a ma- hogany tan they get well; the tanning doesn’t cure them, but merely indicates how much ultraviolet they have ab- mg:d. it is 1y theory tha course purely t the relative lack of ultraviolet influencc in the Winter time accounts for the greater frequency of respiratory infec- tions in the Spring. But it is at least & reasonable explanation. Although the special glass that trans- mits ultraviolet rays is not so expen- sive, many people may still find a temporary window that will admit the ultraviolet worth using. Sandwich a strip cellophane (which may be obtained from hardware dealers) between two frames of inch mesh chicken wire. This makes a window that will stand weather & year, and it admits virtually as large a proportion of the ultraviolet rays es the special glass does; a homemade win- dow of this description costs less than a bottle of cough medicine. Every household where there are young children should have at least one room equipped with such windows on the sunniest side of the house, where the children can enjoy the benefits of ultraviolet influence all day. Of course the direct sunlight upon the naked skin is the best of all sources of ultraviolet ray treatment, if direct sun- light 15 to be had. The Midsummer sunlight is richest in ultraviolet rays, and the four or five hours in the middle of the day when the suns rays are most nearly vertical are the best for ultra- violet ray or sunbath treatment.
