FOURTH OF JULY PLANS FURTHERED Citizens’ Committee Making Arrangements—Two New Groups to Assist. Plans for making this year's Fourth of July celebration one of the largest and finest patriotic festivals ever held in Washington have been started by the Citizens’ Committee appointed by the District Commissioners to take charge of the detailed preparations and ceremonies scheduled for this an- nual event, C. Melvin Sharpe, executive assistant of the Potomac Electric Power Co. and general chairman of the Citizens' Com- mittee, has announced the appoint- ment of subcommittee chairmen. With Mrs. Elizabeth K, Peeples, director of the Community Center Department, who is secretary of the committee, Sharpe will meet with the subchair men in the near future to discuss de- tails for the celebration. Two new committees have been named this year, a Committee on Amplification, headed by G. R. Wil- helm, and a Committee on Tickets and Seating, headed by Harold L. Hayden. The amplification facilities this vear will make it possible for everybody near the Washington Monu- ment Grounds to hear the complete | exercises, which will be ended with a spectacular display of fireworks on the north Monument Grounds.

NCE every three or four years the Government incinerator down | on the Mall is the scene of a strange fire. Its flames are battened and fattened | on dead dreams—hundreds of them. | Stolid workmen toss bundle after bun- dle of ideas conceived in good faith, ultimately intended for the “welfare, comfort and convenience” of mankind, into the roaring fire. Unless the applicant completes his papers and prepares for the examina- |tion within six months after filing for a patent, his is considered an | abandoned application. Then, says the law, the commissioner of patents | is authorized to “annually destroy or otherwise dispose of all the files and papers belong to abandoned ap- | plications which been on file for | more than 20 vears.’ 8o, as the Patent Office stacks be- come overcrowded with these dead | brain-children of inventors, |to a fiery oblivion. This about once every three of four years. Some few applicants write in asking that their papers be returned to them. Sometimes the heirs write.

The howling continued. They began to fume. More howling. The fretting and fuming bloomed into rebellion. Several New Deal officials, aided and abetted by several resident paper columnists (all smart and clever in their own way) began to connive to lure the cat from its nook. All failed. A detachment of Alex- andria fire fighters was called in, ‘They failed, too. By now the howling had continued off and on, mostly on, for three days, Then came a carpenter, wise in the ways of cats. He pulled up a few boards, left some red meat conven- fently close and let animal appetite do the rest, The method was effec- tive, * ¥ ¥ ¥ VIGNETTE OF TRAGEDY. OUR P.M. at Fourteenth and H streets.
