Washington Wayside Random Observations of Interesting Events and Things. UNDER-WATER DOINGS. YOUNG La Plata, Md., maiden who prefers to remein uni-| dentified, received the sur- prise of her life recently while swimming at Chapel Point. After a high dive her foot felt | strangely. She shook it, thinking a stone had caught between her toes. - it was a stone, it stuck tight. She | shook again, this time more vigor- ously. But still nothing doing. | Then she decided to have a look Bhe hoisted the disgruntled foot out | of the water and squinted at it. | Right around her big toe, as beau- | tiful as a wedding ring around a| bride's finger, was a 10-karat gold | “OH, DOCTOR!"” Dr. Frederick G. Cottrell, local man of science, is scratching his cranium. Reason—he lost his hat | in a place science thought impreg- nable to theft. Indeed, Dr. Cottrell's Readgear vanished from a table in the safe deposit vaults of a well known downtown bank. When the hatless academician reported his loss to the inner guard that brass- |° buttoned dutiful haughtily re- torted: “Sir, the only person in here besides yourself was the Pres- ident of our bank!” *x X X ¥ JUST WAITING. JREPRESENTATIVE X split with the | Democratic party in his State! over Al Smith in 1928. | He lost his seat. He sold his home and mortgaged his library to finance | a second race and he lost. Representative X is 70. If he could | get a $1,440 job in one of the New | Deal agencies he would be satisfied, | his former secretary says He sits by the hour in the outer | effice of the man who defeated him. During the last campaign he made some nasty insinuations against this man. He walts and waits. * x *x x NOTICED IT? Sealed in the concrete of the sidewalk at the mortheast corner of Tenth and D streets are the words, in 10-inch red lettering: “The Post Building.” The Post Building used to be there. Now it is located Jour blocks west and a block north on E street, mear the corner of Fourteenth street. * x X X FLOWER GIRL. | IN ONE of London'’s famous churches | there is a little shrine erected to | the memory of a “flower girl,” so rev- erenced by Londoners, who met her death while selling nosegays to the busy passing throng. But here in Washington—have you noticed the “flower girl” who stands | in front of St. Patrick’s Church, year | in and year out, giving you a sile | and selling you red carnations—that is, they're red carnations every day | except St. Patrick’s day, when the shamrock must take precedence? | ‘When the weather is bad she some- times creeps inside the church for a respite. There, one bitter cold morning last Winter, she fell asleep. Her regular , breathing was plainly audible through . the congregation. An usher touched her on the shoulder. She started, smiled, and slipped out | into the cold. TS A BIT OF COCKNEY. Back from London town, Charles Francis, the actor, tells of over- hearing two cockneys on a bus. One of them asked: “Is this Wimsley?” “No,” said the other, “this is Thursday.” “I'm thirsty, too,” said his pal, “let's get off and get a drink.” e EMBARRASSING MOMENT. MAYBE he was so busy thinking about his anti-war loan bill that | low officers on Capitol Hill. TSECRET ARMS SHIPMENT TO ETHIOPIA REPORTED | | he forgot. Anyway, it proved a rather embarrassing moment for Representa- tive Frank L. Kloeb of Ohio. Representative Kloeb, a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and Mrs. Kloeb were in a taxicab, on their way to a reception held in honor | — of an important foreign visitor at an| embassy. The Representative was complimenting himself upon his speed in getting dressed and grabbing a cab after a late session of the House. Mrs. Kloeb might have been com- plimenting herself on the fact that for the first time during the session she had induced her husband to at- tend such a function. The cab carrying the couple had al- most reached the embassy when Mrs. Kloeb asked to see the invitation, which reposed in the Congressman’s pocket. She examined it and imme- diately exclaimed: “Why, this reception was held last aight!” Mr. Kloeb protested, claiming the date on the invitation corresponded with that day. Finally they had to ask the cab Beauties Revealed Rarely Succumbing To Cancer of Skin By the Associated Press. CHAUTAUQUA, N. Y., July 25.—Dr. Josephs Colt Bloodgood of Johns Hopkins University told & Chautauqua Institution au- dience yesterday “a beautiful woman rarely dies of cancer of the skin.” He explained this was true “be- cause she pays attention to the first skin blemish or irritation of the skin and in her desire to maintain her beauty she utilizes all the protective value of clean- liness.” He used the example, he said, because it proved that many forms of cancer were preventable if treated early enought. driver to settle the question. He looked mournfully at the Representa- ! tive and issued his weighty edict: “Yep, this ain't the right day. That reception was held yesterday.” Mr. Kloeb has yet to convince Mrs. Kloeb he didn't get the date wrong on purpose, their friends say. * ok Kk STATION SCENE. SLIGHTLY inebriated Senator | was ushered through Union Sta- | tion to his train the other day by two | Capitol policemen, making with their | whistles almost as much noise as a| motor cycle escort. The police whistles brought head- quarters detectives and station officers on the run. They were told the great | man had taken one too many at a| farewell party, and his friends had given him an escort to help him cope | with the law of gravity. “Aw, nutz, then; why don't you | pipe down!” demanded the station po- lice, who have no love for their fel- Investigators Declare Munitions on French Ship Replaced by Paving Blocks. By the Associated Press | ; 25.—A substitution of ks for 27 tons of munitions, bound from France to Ar- gentina, was made after the ship left the Port of Rouen, investigators said yesterday. | The substitution was discovered when the shiprient, embargoed by the Argentine goverrment, was inspected | upon its return, at the Havre.
