C. Byrd said today. Acceptance yesterday by the Board of Regents of Public Works Adminis- tration loans cleared the way for the The board’s acceptance was a for- mality which was speedily complied with upon notification of Byrd that favorably acted upon by the Govern- ment. Four projects are included in the program. Foremost in importance, ac- cording to authorities here, is the re- moval of the old *horticultural barns from their present site on the highway at the entrance to the university and erection of new ones on a recently acquired site of 20 acres further back was allocated for this project.

The legisiation for which he has been campaigning for three years was passed in the dying days of the last session of Congress, and now he finds himself out of a job. “I had the situation under control for a long time,” he explained. “I would bang the cymbals, and Con- gress would do little or nothing, per- haps just enough for me to report a little progress. But the matter got entirely out of hand at the last, and the bill was passed with a whoop. So I'm not needed any more.” DID YOU KNOW—2? Becguse of a statute enacted a hundred years ago every grand Jury sworn in here is instructed by the judge mot to disregard deaths resulting from dueling. When duel- ing was made illegal in the District affairs of homor and their con= sequences were popularly cone sidered to be beyond the purview of the law. Hence the provision that all grand juries were to be in= torically famous by Gens. Washington and Lafayette, which is situated on the highway opposite the stadium, is to be remodeled at a cost of $24,000. Campus repairs, lights, walks and roads are contemplated in a project for which $85,000 was awarded. The fourth project is the changing of the old hospital in Baltimore into a dis- pensary at a cost of $39,000. Razing of the barns is scheduled to | start Monday with the whole pro- gram getting under way in a few days, Byrd said. 4 WAYS TO BUY MEN'S CLOTHING structed to return indictment in deaths resulting from duels, * % k¥ REAL ESTATE DEAL. EVI.'R notice that the southeast cor- ner of the National Press Bulld- ing is not a “corner,” but a flat sec- tion, running diagonally, to connect rear and side walls? ‘The reason is explained by Newsman Henry Swelnhart—and the story is faintly reminiscent of the swap by which Manhattan Island passed out of ownership of the Indians. When the Fourth Estate got ready to purchase ground for a home at .%our- teenth and P streets it was discovered that at the west side, along the old Ebbitt House, was a dead-end alley, running in from Pennsylvania ave- nue. Even newspaper men realized while alleys might have their uses, the presence of one in the middle of a building would not make for an architectural gem. 8o, here's where the trade came in. In return for the District closing up that much of that alley as infringed on the site of the prospective Press Club—a right sizable plot—the jour- nalistic swappers agreed to turn over a small triangular piece of ground at the other end of their property which would allow the District to widen a narrow alley running through that portion of the block—a needed better- ment. That, of course, moved the buildirig line back to the “base” of the triangle and necessitated the flat construction. * ok ok % SPHERE OF WOMEN. Just what is the “sphere of wom- en” talked about? Somewhere in the United States, according to the latest volume of the Statistical Abstract, are one or more women listed in these jobs as “gainful workers”: Coal, lead, gold, iron miners; carpenters, machinists, electricia; apprentices; blacksmiths, boiler. makers, crane and derrick women; firemen, millwrights, glassblowers, machinery oilers, foundrymen, plasterers and cement finishers; plumbers, stonecutters, tinsmiths, gas workers, ship and boat builders; charcoal workers, wagon factory workers, potters, ship captains, sailors and deck hands; street cleaners, street railway conductors, foremen, motormen, firemen on locomotives, express messengers and mail elerks; telegraph and telephone linemen, greasing station workers, road repaireérs, pipe line laborers, stockyards. laborers, auctioneers and railway porters— * to list @ few of the most unusual. * K x % FEROCIOUS FISH. 'RED ORSINGER, director of the aquarium in the Department of Commerce Buildirg, can testify on his own authority as to the ferocity of the little piranah fish from the Amazon River, which Theodore Roose- velt described as ready “to rend and destroy” in his “Through the Bra- zilian Wilderness.” Orsinger recently acquired two fine piranahs and exhibited them above a placard labeling them dangerous man- eaters. The other day the aquarium directo’ had occasion to remove one of the fish. He caught it in a net and was dumping the fish into an- other tank when a finger got too near and the fish took a hunk out of it as neatly as if the work was done with & razor. "I can well imagine,” Orsinger said, ‘what a school of those fish could do to & wounded man in the water.” Incidentally, some explorers have returned from the Amazon with word that the piranah is practically harm- less. * k% % ADD FORGOTTEN SIGNS. A sign over the basement en- trance of the remodeled building at Eleventh and F streets that now houses some of the General Ac- counting Office employes proclaims to one and all that it is the en- trance to the tea room. * X ¥ % JOKE'S END. A SMALL boy who meets his father at police headquarters every aft- ernoon has a penchant for guns. | Needless to say, all of his are toy ones, but as realistic as he can get them.

The other day he called, as usual, to go home with his father. He had the gun and made the mistake of taking it into the press room, where it was promptly confiscated by the largest reporter there and taken for & tour of the building for psychological experiments. As his first experiment, the reporter walked up behind Lieut. C. P. Cox of the Detective Bureau, placed the muzzle in the middle of that official’s back and said, “Put 'em up, you rat.” The experiment - ‘was & . success. Lieut. Cox whirled, reaching for his revolver. The reporter to | explain it was all & joke and, with the’ | lieutenant placated, returned the toy to the boy, who is still interested in it, even if the reporter is not.
