THE EVENING S Washington Wayside Random Observations of Interesting Events and Things. OUT OF BOUNDS! "-—IT FELL to earth, I know not | where.” One of our Thirteenth street oper- atives encountered a fine example of this circumstance on a recent morn- ing. Making his somewhat sleepy way | to work while birds twittered and phys- jcal culturists took deep breaths, he felt something skid off his ankle just | as he crossed F street. Looking ddwn, | he beheld a golf ball skipping merrily | along the sidewalk—distinctly out of bounds for any golf course. Caroming off the ankle, the ball| bounded into Thirteenth street, | crossed the level of F and picked up | momentum as it started down the hili | to E. On its way, an automobile wheel just clipped it and it veered | over to hit the curb, hesitate and then roll gently on to E street, where it lodged in the car track. Our operative looked around for the “golfer,” or at least & caddy, but| nobody seemed guilty. x o ox ok WHAT NEXT? N THE show window of a Four= teenth street pipe hospital there is a tray of petite pipes, carved with ornaments. The sign over the tray says: “Pipes for Milady. Ladies’ Genuine Brier and Meer- schaum Pipes.” There is a nice present for the girl friend. Maybe it would make her stop “bumming” cigareties, * ok o % SERVICE DE LUXE! 'HILE Government workers may | complain about inconvenient trol ley and bus service during the rush hours, there is one place in Washington where old-time standards prevail. As the bus coming in from Hyatts- | ville rolled down Rhode Island avenue northeast one morning recently two little boys ran out of a house on the corner and hailed it. When the driver opened the door, the larger boy said: “Wait just a minute, mamma will be right out.” After two or three min- utes .the driver warned: “Tell your mother to hurry up, we've got to get going.” And while one of the lads ran to the house and speeded his mother out, still buttoning her jacket, the bus and passengers waited. | * ok X X 1 IT DIDN'T WORK OUT. !

A commuter from nearby Vir- ginia stood om a corner waiting for a He was bound for lower Penn- nia avenue and usually arrived on time, but when a passing motorist offered a lift he saw a chance to beat the bus to town. All went well until he reached ‘Washington Circle, where his route and the bus route were to separate. | There a tire went flat. He and his newly-found friend pulled to one side | to appraise the damage. In a few minutes the bus passed. The driver gave two toots on his hora and waved at the stranded commuter. The bus arrived on time as usual. The hitch-hiking commuter was 15 minutes late—and in a bad humor. i MUST BENEFIT DOBBIN.

R DIDN'T WANT TO STOP. EW motorists can contradict the statement of a policeman and get away with it. There are exceptions, | however. | Sergt. Joseph D. Harrington of the | Traffic Bureau was riding along re- | cently on the crane which the Police | Department uses to tow in impounded cars.
