TARIES EXPET *NEW STRUGTURE Apartments, Post Exchange and Other Improvements at Quantico Planned. ‘The Marine Corps, virtually ignored when the $3,300,000,000 public works allocations were passed out, now is hoping to share in the new work-re- lief fund of $4,880,000,000, particularly for upbuilding its post at Quantico, Va. The Marines want to construct at Quantico 7 six-family apartment buildings for 42 non-commissioned officers, at a cost approximating $300,- 000; 14 six-family apartment houses for officers, to cost $1,000,000; an | auditorium and post exchange, to ccst $5060,000; an officers’ school building for $190,000, a Storehouse for $235,- 000, an administration building for $120,000, a fire house for $20,000, extension of distributing and sewer | system for $150,000, overpass and tun- nel, roads and walks to cost $200,000, | the Richmond, Fredericksburg & Po- | tomac Railroad to bear half the cost | of the tunnel; a dispensary of 65 beds to cost $225,000, and a laundry for $65,000. Improvements Needed. At the Quantico Flying Field a nuinber of improvements are needed, including: $170,000 for an aircraft storehouse, $80,000 for an administra- tion building, $70,000 for a distribut- | ing system, £35,000 for a garage, $30,- 00c for lighting and air markings, and $35000 for reconstructing an overhead bridge. | The Marines want to construct an auditorium and two additional bar- racks at San Diego, Calif., at an un- disclosed price, and the purchase of land at Philadelphia needed for stor- ing supplies. Out of the $3.300,000 in the last public works set-up, the Marines got cnly $350,000 for new construction at the Quantico flying field and $150,000 for renovating buildings, railroads, roads and service lines at the various Marine Corps establishments over the country. Officers Lack Quarters. The Marines point out that at the present time, 120 officers stationed at Quantico are without Government quarters. They must live in Wash- ington, Alexandria, Va.; burg, Va., and such other accommoda- tions as they can find convenient to the post. Converted wooden barracks, fire- traps and a health menace, house the married non-commissioned officers, the authorities point out, describing them as slum conditions. Buildings thrown up during the World War are em- | ployed for the use of the sick. At present, a barracks building houses | the Marine Corps Schools and a new building is needed for the educational center, so that the barracks may be used for troops.

Roosevelt.” And if the President writes Early's first name today he'll probably spell it “Steven” instead of “Stephen.” * ok ok % LIZARD OF MYSTERY. FFICIALS at the new Post Office | Building have concluded to keep | their mystery. Unable to solve it, they at first thought they would dis- | miss the mystery by having it chiseled | | off a capstone in an arch. ‘The mystery is a small stone lizard which perches at the top of the arch. | No one seems to know where it came { from. Explanations were conjured up, | but none of them appear precisely to | fit the case. | One story was that a conscientious stonecutter executed a sketch made | by an absent-minded architect poring over the building plans. Another was that it is the secret mark of some | | contractor. Still others suggested it | | might be a fossil. At any rate the officials decided } | that, as mystery fans, they would neither cheat nor chisel. * % ¥ % QUALIFICATION ENOUGH. | WASHINGTON physician, Sum- mer resident of a Southern Maryland county, seeking a resi- dent hunting license during the duck season, and fearing too many ques- | tions if he applied in person for it, sent a deputy sheriff friend. | At the deputy's suggestion he had | | described himself as a student in his | | application. | The license clerk scanned the an- | swers to the various questions. “H'm.

There was little that anticipated the importance of the event in the Columbia Phono- graph Parlors that day. The parlors were located at 921 Pennsylvania avenue, where the Mutual and Cosmos Theaters later were to be located. An Edison “Kinetoscope,” into which one dropped a coin and peered through an opening shaped like a stereopticon, permitted a fleeting, jerky view of Lole Fuller in one of her dances, or the flashing biceps of some prominent prizefighter of the day as he tangled with his opponent. Oliver Metzerott's Wargraph, opened in the fall of 1898 at 1110 P street, was the first public moving picture | house. Daniel Armat had shown fiims in his laboratory at 1313 F street in August of 1895. But Metzerott's place, & hall next door to the lobby of the Metzerott Bros’ Music Hall, was a store especially rebuilt to show pic- tures. It was the first “store show,” as they were called, where admission was charged. This premier Washing- ton house charged 25 cents admission, and the first pictures shown were scenes from the Spanish-American War—"most of them faked,” Oliver Metzerott admits. Armat's Star Theater, which opened in March, 1906, at 401 Tenth street, was the second legitimate moving pic- ture house. On March 31, of the same year, A. Luber opened his won- derland theater, on the second floor of the Goldenberg Building at 605 Seventh street. It was the third Capital movie. Luber made a contract | with Armat, whereby he used the lat- ter's films after they had been shown at the Star and it may be remem- bered that Tom Moore sang there “every evening except Sundays.” ‘Get a Load of this . . .

ADVERTISEMEN' BARBOUR WOULD AID | WEEK END VISITORS Asks Public Building Officials That Sunday Hours Be Lengthened. A campaign to have certain public buildings and other points of interest in Washington opened longer on Sun- days and holidays for the benefit of sightseeing tourists has been started by Senator Barbour, Republican, of New Jersey. He began by writing letters to offi- cials in charge of the Congressional | Library, the Snithsonian Institution, | the Washington Monument and the | Lincoln Memorial. He pointed out | that many visitors come to spend week ends, arriving late Saturday and leav- ing Sunday night to get back to their jobs on Monday. In many cases, sald, they drive several hundred miles. He said the problem was brought to his attention during the past week by cherry blossom visitors. The Senator found that the Sunday hours of the Library of Congress are from 2 to 10 p.m. the Monument's from 12:30 to 4:40 p.m. and the Smith- sonian Institution’s from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. —_— Cleveland Man to S;uk.
