Washingto n Wayside Random Observations of Interesting Events and Things. SHOWER IN THE AIR. ATHING in mid-air is decidedly unusual, yet such an instance 6 occurred in Georgetown the other afternoon. A newspaper man Wwas sprinkling the lawn and flowers in his back yard | and had a fine spray from the hose shooting into the air about 15 feet. Suddenly along came a humming- bird and appeared accidentally to fly through the spray. Surprised, he flew up to a telephone wire to get his breath and his bearings. Then he flew back down into the eenter of the spray with his tiny wings going at the rate of about a mile a minute, took a shower bath that iasted for fully two minutes. ‘Thoroughly cleansed and refreshed, he departed as suddenly as he had come, returning to his mate and his nest. ik ek REMEDY. Since an item appeared in Washington Wayside recently about tazricab door handles that shocked passengers when opening the doors, it has been noticed that several of the drivers have wrapped the handles with insulating tape. o o NEIGHBORS. N I seldom know the person who lives in the apartment next door, almost anything can happen. Take Mrs. Helen Ware, for example, who lives almost next door to the White House. Recently she visited New York. While driving down the street the sirens of motor cycle police drove her to the curbing. A cavalcade plowed by. In the automobile at the rear were two of Mrs. Ware's neighbors she had never seen before. They were the President and Mrs. Roosevelt. * ¥ kX MOST MARBLE. Architects say mo other building in the world contains as much marble as the nmew home of the United States Supreme Court. Georgia quarries supplied the eI- terior pillars and facades, while the interior trim came largely from Vermont, embellished with lesser amounts of Europe’s most Jamous marbles. The wood panel- ing and carving rivals the marble treatment in visitor interest. 5 LIQUOR LIGENSES REVOKED BY BOARD Record Is Established by Action in Five Days Against Violators.

A COLORED defendant haled into Police Court on charges of as- sault and intoxication was asked by the judge to explain his side of the case. “I haven't much to say, yo honor, ‘cept that was the meanest likker I ever saw. That likker was so mean that when the police came I thought I was runnin’ and I was sittin’ down all the time.” * Kk STUDY IN WINDOWS. The immense Commerce Depart- ment Building has 5 miles of cor= ridors and 5,000 windows. * x k¥ FLIGHT. MES: GEN. J. has just fled from ‘Washington and will live hence- forth in San Diego. Her husband was a distinguished officer of Philippine Insurrection days. They came to live in Washington when they were retired. He died two years ago. Most of the time they lived here the old couple suffered from a funeral | gun phobia. Morning after morning they heard the guns booming at Arlington. Usually it was for one of their inti- mates of younger days. They passed away, one by one. They kept their windows closed to shut out the sound of those guns. They | suffered the sensations of prisoners in | the death row when the lights go dim | after one of their number has been | led out by the guards. Mrs. Gen. J. wants the width of a continent between her and those guns. * K ok X THE RISK IS YOUR OWN. (COVER charges in New York restau- rants are on pedestals and seldom do even the mighty escape them. It took a president of a North Carolina college to “beat the game.” Arriving in Gotham, he took his wife out for dinner. When he read on the menu that there was a cover charge of $1.50, he informed a waiter that he did not wish a cover. “Take it away!” he stormed. The waiter hurriedly conferred with the headwaiter and returned to in- | form his patron: “You don't want to eat on the bare | table, sir. You just leave the cover on | the table and we won't charge you |for it . . . if you leave it when you go.” The professor, according to latest reports, left the cover and was not charged the $1.50.
