Washington Wayside Random Observations of Interesting Events and Things. ‘TERRIER AT PLAY. LL dogs like to bite. But their A tastes differ. * Some prefer legs, some the seats of trous- ers and some, even in these times, are given their preference «f bones. All this is admitted by Miss Hen- rietta Millet, stylist and teacher of dancing, but she insists her dog, He- Ge, a wire-haired terrier of deter- mined nature, surpasses all others in peculiar objects for mastication. He-Ge has bbeen very carefully raised and at the present is living with his mistress at her Summer home near the Potomac River in nearby Virginia. Miss Millet's entire family has been carefully instructed never to let the dog out of the house, but, as in all families, some one carelesly opened the door a few days ago and the dog escaped—with the entire fam- ily in pursuit. The chase led through briars, which tore the clothing of the pursuers. It was finaly necessary to give up the chase. Miss Millet, grieving over her loss, sauntered to the river and there was He-Ge standing in the water vic- fously biting waves as they came in from passing boats. STREET NAMING . The pronunciation dispute be- tween different branches of the Montague families was settled, at least as far as the District govern~ ment is concerned, years ago when the name was used to designate a street in the three-syllable-word section of the District. While the most unsual pronunciation of the mame is Mon-ta-gu, it is known in some sections of the country as Mon-tague, and newcomers jrom these areas point out this apparent error in the add-a-syllable method of designating streets. The street nomenclature act of 1904 granted the District authority to rename streets, and the alpha- betical-syllabic system was devised. Great mames readily suggested themselves, but the dictionary was resorted to for reminders. The Dis- trict surveyor’s office mow submits suggestions of names for new streets to the Commissioners, who pass on them. x ok K HEADLINES. Rnt RN Louisiana; cancel French debt.

Attaches of the Marriage License Bureau in District Supreme Court get used to the “brainstorms” that the stress of the occasion at times works on those about to take up the yoke, but even long experience doesn’t prepare them fully for some of the happenings. One applica- tion for license recently was turned in with “sister and brother” writ- ten in the space for showing the kinship—if any—between bride and groom. Questioning developed that the prospective groom thought the information desired was whether he and the lady had any “kin* The description item, “color’— meaning race—also provokes some remarkable results, rumor having it that even “sun-tan” has showed up as an answer. PANHANDLER EXPOSED. THE fattest panhandler in Lafayette | Square is a pigeon which parades | &n “injured” wing before the visitors, especially those with peanuts and bread crumbs in their pockets. Whether by accident or design, the “injured” member is highly de- ceptive. It is quite capable of sharing the load when the old reprobate takes off with a full stomach. Nevertheless, it's sort of tough to expose his racket this way! BIGGEST YARD., Besides getting the most mail, telephone calls, etc., of any single person in the Capiial, the Presi- dent of the United States has the largest back and front yard of any downtown resident. The White House grounds comprise 17 acres within the fence around the Ezecu= tive Mansion. An idea of the size of the grounds may be gained dy comparing them with the Ellipse, which covers 16 acres. * x x x ‘TONGUE TWISTERS. Amxcm RAILWAY announcers have a pretty easy job in com- parison with the station-screamers Wwho bellow the comings and goings of the choochoos in Latvia. Here's one that would stop most U. 8. train callers: All aboard, for Riga, Erglic.h Madona, Karsava, Carnikava, Rujiena, Liepajas and Kuldigas. The Latvian government is pre- paring to lay a track along this route. The announcers will be tested on “Peter Piper had a peck of pickled peppers” in Slavic. Editor's note: After diligent lucu- bration we succeeded in mastering the art of saying “The Leith police pur- sueth thee” rapidly and repeatedly, but the tongue twister we have been work- ing on for weeks, futilely, is trying to say “rubber buggy bumpers” 10 times quickly.
