T'S a sort of granite and limestone mother-in-law, this Department of Commerce Building. If it's mentioned, it’s ridiculed. and comes in for more jibes than all the other architectural menages of the Govern- | - ment put together. Secretary of In- terior Ickes is one of the latest to have his little say. Ickes was wandering through the | labyrinthine maze of corridors count- ing room numbers on his fingers, won- dering whether all the unemployed in America couldn’t be housed in this one building, and looking for Secre- | tary of Commerce Roper's office. Finally he found it. Pausing to get his breath after the long walk, he sighed a relieved sigh and entered. Before turning to mstters of the moment with Roper, he muttered to one of the assistants novering nearby: PLEASE! MR.HOOVER “Get Herbert Hoover on long dis- tance. I want to know how to get out of here.” * X ok % MODERN SAFETY RULES. NE veteran student of District legislation in Congress, with a penchant for translating law- makers’ lingo into capsule form, points out the automobile responsibility bill passed by the House embodies three simple rules for pedestrians and motorists: 1. Don't be hit by a first offender. (The law doesn’t apply to them.) 2. Be sure the car which hits you has District tags. (Out-of-town resi- dents are exempted from responsibil- ity.) covered by liability insurance. (If 3. If you must be hit, pick a fnr! you see a taxi coming, run for e storm cellar.) * % k¥ WHAT'S IN A NAME? N CHARGE of the City of the Dead on the slopes of -Arlington, over- looking Washington, 1is Col. Charles G. Mortimer, U. 8. A,, retired, who is now on active duty. He is a descendant of Dr. Charles Mortimer, George Washington's physician. Linguists have figured out Col. Mortimer's name has its foundation in the French word “mort,” mean- ing “death.” Thus, they say, it is fitting that he should be in charge of Arlington National Cemetery, the superintendent of which is named Robert Dye. * ok ok % CLEANING THE WORLD. HE colored, inlaid map of the T world on the floor of the en- trance to the new Post Office Building is one of the most admired interior adornments of any of the Federal buildings. It also is one of those requiring the greatest care. On rainy days a porter, with mop in hand, stands nearby. Hundreds of feet ag and shuffie over “Aus- “China” and the “Soviet.” When there is a pause the mop flicks out and whisks away the muddy stains. Otherwise the grime might be ground into the surface under the almost ceaseless tread. Gradually the map is acquiring a mellow, darker tint; it is the porter's task to see this tint is kept uniform, unspotted. A symbol on one side of the map is a wheel of months. named clockwise to show the flight of time. A symbol on the other side is a compass, laid out in brass. A guard estimates the compass inspires at least 40 complaints a day because people think it should point out true directions and not be the mere symbol intended by the artist. * ko ALL RIGHT, YOU COUNT.

For more than two months her nose had been doing strange antics. It itched and she scratched it, but the tickle stayed on. It bled some- times, even when nobody punched it. It swelled up, swelled wide. It played all sorts of tricks. Her mother and father, thinking Patsy’s nose was simply rebelling against a bad cold, dosed it with everything they knew. Finally they took her to a doctor. ‘With his little flashlight and prob- ers he took a look. He shook his head, smiled grimly and said, “Well, | well.” | Then, very gently, he reached in- side and pulled out—a collar button! It was black, and its metal shanks were worn thin. “Patsy,” demanded her amazed mother, “did you put that collar but- ton up your nose?” ' “No-0-0,” Patsy denied. “He did it!” (Indicating her little brother, who had come to see the perform- ance.) All present turned toward the ac- cused. He opened his eyes wide and, with an air of injured innocence, re- | plied, “Aw, what would I wanna do a thing like that for?” | T e Citizens Meet Tomorrow. i Transportation problems will be discussed at a joint meeting of the Howard Park Citizens’ Association and Mott School Parent-Teacher Associa- | tion tomorrow at 8 p.m. at the school, Fourth and W streets, Rev.

Car manufacturers and metallurgists worked together to pro- duce metal alloys strong and durable enough to withstand the greatly increased pressures and temperatures of the modern motor. by the gives Conoco Germ Processed Motor Oil lubricating qualities no other oil has. P Oils, too, must withstand these pressures and temperatures and they must have extra oiliness and film strength to do it. Yet oils generally have no more oiliness and film strength than they had ten years ago. And many new refining methods now used to make oils free from carbon and sludge have lowered instead of increased oiliness and film strength!

It has more oiliness than any oil has natu- rally.
