Washington Wayside Random Observations of Interesting Events an PREPARED. P/HERE is one restauiateur in Washington who wash't taking any chances. v Of course he had heard the Shrine convention was bringing 100,000 potentially hungry visitors to town. But the week before there were other conventions and probably next week there will be additional ones. At any rate the front of his restaurant bore a sign this week that was some- what different from the “Welcome Nobles” banner that floated in the breeze almost everywhere else, It was one that would get them all. It read: “Welcome Convention.” el DESERTED CITY, ! Our correspondent in Montpelier, t., informs us that the city gov- ‘ernment up there had to close down virtually during Shrine con- vention week because so many members of its personnel were members of the Mount Sinai Tem- ple delegation coming to Wash- ington. Among the goodly number of Mount Sinai Temple who re- ported here were three-fourths of the four-man Board of Aldermen in Montpelier, in addition to sev- eral others of those who keep the Montpelier City Hall on an even keel. | * ok ok ok GREEN MEANS “GO." THOUSANDS of people lined the |+ sidewalks and overflowed out into Pennsylvania avenue. Small boys and girls, taking every slight advantage of good-natured policemen, edged “closer and closer to the line of march as the Shrine parade went by. Red and green traffic lights flashed alternately at each intersection. Out of the throng at Ninth and Pennsylvania darted a miniature figure of a colored woman, muttering imprecations on all who stood in her way. Right on into the street she rushed, right into the patch of the parade. A policeman reached out and grabbed the woman by the arm. “You can't go out there,” he admonished. . | “Git outen mah way, white man, can't you-all see I got de go light,” the | woman grumbled. And “go” she did. | * ok X % THE LID’'S OFF. The big bass drum attracted the old gentleman’s eye as soon as he entered the hotel lobby, and it was without its red-fezzed guardians. For a while he sat and stared at it in a dignified manner. Then he edged over closer to it. Glancing mnervously about he fingered the drum stick. Then suddenly he grasped it and swung. The “boom” d Things. fly by with an invitation to the old life of wild freedom. * % % % MISSING MAN. VISXTINQ Shriners have missed Washington’s unofficial greeter, the bewhiskered, cane-waver “Larsen,” who has mysteriously disappeared from the city. He has not been heard from for several months now, and even the police are apparently unaware of his whereabouts. He used to stand by Dupont Circle and other points along Connecticut avenue, and wave his cane cordially at every out-of-town car that passed. Larsen's identity ‘was shrouded in mystery. He was said to be a Dane and per- haps he has returned to his native land. While in town he was a popular subject for the local painters. Very fond of music, he was Irequently seen in a downtown department store listen- ing in rapt attention to the pipe organ. WIFE WINS DIVORCE Secures Decree From C. M. Skid- more, Former D. C.

Gov. Ruby Laffoon of Kentucky must have read the recent item in this column about Lieut. Comdr. Clyde Tolson, assistant director of the Federal Bureau of Investiga- tion, who crashed into print as the naval reserve officer who cannot row a boat. A few days after the column told how J. Edgar Hoover, director of the bureau and a colo- nel in the Army Reserve, was forced to row Tolson ashore during a fishing expedition Gov. Laffoon sent Tolson a commission as a Kentucky colonel, Kentucky colo- nels do not have to know how to navigate a boat. * % % % WINGED VISITOR. ONE of the few blue geese ever seen in this section has abandoned his ‘Winter home in Mississippi and his Summer home in Labrador to take up & year-round residence at the Federal | sanctuary on Roaches Run, just across | the river in Virginia. The bird dropped out of a migratory | flight last year. No “rugged in-| dividualist,” he took kindly to Govern- ment grain and a home prepared for him by the Civilian Conservation Corps. Blue geese usually fly a different route between the deep South and the Far North. The caretaker at the sanctuary hopes the goose will remain since none of his mates are apt to STORE YOUR FURS with experts!
