Within about two minutes from the time a woman was knocked down by an automobile at Fourteenth street and Pennsylvania avenue the other day she was surounded by about 200 people, all craning their necks and standing a-tiptoe to get a look at her. The woman vowed to the officer and all her sympathizers that she was unhurt, but the crowd did not dis- perse until she called a cab and hur- ried away. Police say that the worst thing that can happen to a person suffering from shock 1s the excitement of a crowd and the shutting off of air by packed bodies. ' ok k x CROWD MENACE.

S THE season approaches for Dis- trict National Guardsmen to plan for their Summer encamp- ment old-timers like to recall a famous story often told of the days when the troops pitched their tents in nearby Virginia. After they had been in camp a few Tru - ready for guests days one of the officers visited nearest house, which happened to be & boarding house, to inquire of the landlady if the men were proving in any way bothersome, Her only complaint was that, from the upper-story windows, boarders could see the men bathing “au naturel” in 8 nearby stream. “I'll fix that,” promised the officer. He had the men use a “bathtub” farther upstream, and returned to the boarding house a few days later and asked the landlady if she had further complaints. Her answer stunned him. “We still can see the men with the fleld glasses.” Deaths Repérted. Mary T. Allyn. 101, 2707 Adams Mill rd. i W Jenkins.'75. 2823 28th st. n.w.
