After Smart People, Smart Things, Smart Places. By the Spectator. Trade Mark Res ONEST - TO - GOODNESS H epistle: “Dear Spectator: “My, my, what fs this town coming -to? I was in the Madrillon last Saturday night, and bless my soul, if a young blade in tails and opera hat wasn't wheeled on to| the floor riding majestically in a wheelbarrow! I gazed into my glass for a minute and wondered if it had |. gone to my head, but when I next looked up, this ‘gentleman’ and his wheelbarrow and ‘chauffeur’ were in-| deed really there—however, they were being eased gently but firmly out the door by Pete Borras. “Now, Spectator, what is pugaling my old gray head is this: Are those | who are well Emily Posted riding in | wheelbarrows this season or are our Washington night clubs just behind the times? “FANNY.” " Answer: “Dear Fanny: “Our night clubs are not behind the times. Those who ride in wheel- Barrows are. Wheelbarrows, as a hode of transportation, went out just | before bicycles came in.

LOS ANGELES, May 23.—Assistant United States Attorney Fleet Palmer sald yesterday the Federal grand jury had under investigation charges that the United States Navy has been de- frauded by a local wiping-rag com- pany. Naval intelligence officers, the offi- cial said, filed the charges that 167 of 250 bales of purported cotton rags, consigned to the San Diego base, were found to have contained fragments of lace curtains and other non-absorbent textiles. The company is under contract to supply the fleet with 100,000 pounds a month at a price of $7,000, Palmer said, and the contract provides for only a high grade of cotton rags. They are used to wipe guns and machinery, NAPOLEON'S 2649 CONN. AVE. Phone Col. 8955 . Washington’s Newest, Smartest | French Restaurant | and Cocktail Lounge | ENTERTAINMENT member the values!
