Some maps say ome. Some the oOther. Some newspapers one, some the other. Ethiopia is the proper name, being used with the oficial sanction of the government of the little country, according .to the National Geographic Society. Abys- sinia is derived from an Arab term, “Habeshi,” which means “a mized race.” Ethiopia is derived from “Itiopiyavan,” by which the natives have been kmown since ancient times. * x % ¥ HAT CHECKERS.

That the District code contains a provision for an annual “wheel tax” on all automobiles or other motor vehicles.

T‘B:l skinned knees of a fugitive young lady are at least two reasons why there are no more “treasure hunts” at Union Station. In addition, railroaders are oo busy railroading to aid high school girls seeking “a gondola from Santa Fe” which may “hold & clue to show the way.” One night recently two railroad sleuths se out to penetrate the mys- terious flashing of lights along a box car siding. They surprised two girls who dropped their electric torch and fled like frightened hares. “Walt a minute, ladies, we're police!” the sleuths shouted, just as one of the fugitives tripped over the rails and skinned her knees in the cinders. The girls were in a panic and set upon the policemen as they burried up. The officers protected themselves as best they could while explaining in a hurry they were not thugs, but policemen wishing to know what it was all about. “Oh,” sobbed the injured one, in relief, “we’re treasure hunters!” ‘Whereupon the police hunted & doctor to dress the injured members, and officials placed a ban on further treasure hunting expeditions. * Kk k% ITEMS WE MISSED.
