‘Washington Wayside Random Observations of Interesting Events an WANNA SEE OSCAR? WASHINGTON society ma- trén, widow of a well-known author, reports this experi- enice: She had ridden home in & taxi, paid off the driver and was stepping to the curb when the driver asked her if she “wanted to see Os- car.” “Oscar?” asked the puzzled lady. “Yes,” said the driver, “here he is- now.” ‘\ Our informer looked into the front seat and saw a large white rabbit crawling up the driver's trunk, twin- kling its pink nose affectionately. “What on earth do you carry that | around with you for?” the driver was asked. “Well,” he mused, “it gets lonely driving around all the time and when I haven't got a fare Oscar keeps me company. He lies on the floor up here and sleeps when I'm driving, but the minute I stop he wakes up and crawls over me.” ‘The lady thought of the precocious White Rabbit in “Alice in Wonder- land” and went off, chuckling.

About | this time the woman's own father, a big, husky, hearty farmer, came in. He asked her why she looked so wor- ried. She told the whole story. He gave her the answer to her troubles. ‘When the: hungry husband and all his farm hands came in to eat & big noon meal after working hard and hot in the fields all morning, what did they find?

Accordingly, the trucks of the Baltimore contractor hauling | earth to Columbia Island have to go | around by way of the Highway Bridge —Ilong out of their way, as the orow flles. But the park athorities were adamant, insisting that the memorial character of the bridge must be pree served. This long haul naturally made it more costly for ghe contractor and clipped the profits, and even the fact that the firm is from the home town of C. Marshall Finnan, the park chief, and he went to school with one of the owners, cut no ice. And, confidentially, Washington Wayside asked Finnan, very sub rosa, if the park authorities themselves did | not sneak a truck or two of their own across the Arlington Memorial Bridge when no one was looking. “No, indeed,’ 'replied Finnan with emphasis. “One of our drivers was caught recently by the park police driving a truck across the bridge. He got a ticket for it.

Mex,, October 3.— A cruise on his yacht Infanta—and not his erstwhile protege, Elaine Bar- rie—drew John Barrymore eastward today. The 53-year-old actor, aboard s train here last night, said he was en route to Miami, where his yacht was being stocked with fuel and other sup- plies sufficient for a lengthy cruise. Barrymore denied he was returning to see Miss Barrie, the 20-year-old girl who pursued him halfway sacross the continent only 10 days ago, and described her as a ‘“charming girl” who is “seeking publicity.” In New York Miss Barrie professed to know nothing of Barrymore's lat- est movements, which she called “news to me.” b Barrymore's return East followed s briet visit with his two children, Do- lores and John, jr, on the coast, divorce, charging desertion. —_— Air Service Continues.
