FAVORRESERVOR STE FORGALLERY Sixteenth Street Citizens Make Suggestion for Pro- posed Mellon Gift. A suggestion that the projected Mel- | lon Art Gallery be placed at the site | of the Sixteenth street reservoir was | made last night at the first Fall mect- | ing of the Sixteenth Street Highlands | Citizens' Association at the Bright- wood School. Need for beautifying the reservoir | site was cited by Edgar A. Snyder, who | objected to a suggestion of the Colum- | bia Heights Citizens' Association that the reservoir site be converted into a swimming pool. He declared that a swimming pool here would be out of harmony with the surrounding resi- dential area. Members agreed that the art gallery would be placed in its proper setting if located here. However, definite ac- tion was postponed. The association went on record as approving Maj. Brown's request for an increased police force. A lack of motor cycle patrolmen was cited by Dr. | J. P. Turner. Members also pointed HEARTS AND FLOWERS. HURDY-GURDY was grinding out sweet music on upper Connecticut avenue when an elderly lady happened along. The particular plece being plaved was pleasing to her ear and prompted the woman to stop. She interrupted the organ-grinder with: “What i3 the name of that song you are playing?” Ccasing his concert, the mustached little Italian swept his hat from his head, bowed low, smiled, and replied: “You're the Sweetest Girl in All the World.” = FOR YOUR INFORMATION. Here's some of the things you can't do in Government buildings: Collect, peddle, beg, loiter or whistle, out the need for more signal lights on Sixteenth street in the Brightwood | area and especially at the intersection | of Celorado avenue, Fourteenth street and Kennedy street. Other business of the meeting included the passing of a reso- lution opposing diversion of gasoline | taxes for purposes other than street and road improvement and repair, co-operation with the Mount Pleasant Citizens’ Association in an effort to mgjntain cleaner streets and side- walks, and indorsement of the Com- ¥ ok K % OFFICIAL COMPLAINT. (QNE complaint about the rise in food prices is sure to reach the court of last resort—namely, the Sec- retary of Agriculture. It started its journey in this fashion: A housewife walked into a neigh-| borhood butcher shop with the inten- | tion of buying some pork chops for | her maid and some lamb chops (ar; her immediate family. The butcher | announced in a regretful tone that the THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1935.

A customer standing nearby whirled around, looked angrily at the speaker and left the shop while the butcher clapped his hards to his head. “Lady, said that. he moaned. “Oh, that man Wallace, he The hutcht':r'n That was Mrs. Wallace,” ok ko CONVERTIBLE, Tropical plants in the patio of the Pan-American Union get the advantage of sunshine every clear day, when the weather is not too cold, By a clever mechanical device the entire section of glass covering the patio, about 75 feet across, is slid back. Thus is formed a hot house on ‘cold days and an open garden on warm days. * X * ¥ ODDITIES IN BOXES. THE oddities dropped into newspa- per “honor system” boxes as sub- stitutes for United States coins have been kept as a “collection” by mem- bers of the circulation departments of two of the city's newspapers. In cigar boxes labeled “Street Car Tokens,” there are bronze, aluminum, copper, nickel and even pasteboard tokens of every size and shape, from three-leaf clovers as big as a half- dollar to doughnut-shaped ones small- er than a dime. They come from every city in the United States where street cars run, from Canada, South America and even Europe. Other boxes contain metal curi- osities, consisting mainly of religious medals of all kinds. lady, you shouldn’t have| proportion are good-luck charms, trade checks and a variety of me- morial pieces. Several boxes contain paper clips, telephone slugs, washers, bits of china, coal, glass, wood, rubber, tin and card- board. Outside of legitimate coins, this sort of trash seems to be in the majority in the boxes. Paper money of foreign nations, phony stage currency, stamps, coun- terfeit coins and bills, and 1. O. U.'s fill another box. One box features old United States and foreign coins, some of them worth many times their face value. Several gold pieces have found their way into these corner bpxes from time to time, haviog passed as pennies through careless hands. Oddest of all is the rather extensive collection of ancient Roman and Greek coins which citizens, more stupid than dishonest, have dropped into the boxes to pay for their daily papers. * ¥ % ¥ HOTEL??? So engrossed in their work of re=- settlements, the occupants of a new relief Government building have forgotten to remove the sign of the Arlington Hotel, which was recente ly converted into a Government building. * ok kX REX IL SPE(,‘I‘ATORS at the recent cere- mony launching “Tugwelltown,” the Rural Resettlement Administra= In a lesser | tion's low-cost housing project at Ber- wyn Heights, Md., pointed out to each other a suave-looking man in gray, in company with official pals of Dr. Rex Tugwell. “That's Tugwell,” some whispered. “This is his idea.” It wasn't Tugwell, but Leslie Le Cron of Los Angeles, brother of James D. Le Cron, assistant to Secretary of Agriculture Wallace. Wayside Op- erative No. 13 rode out with him and we'll swear he's almost a dead ringer for the No. 1 brain truster. Not such starry eyes, perhaps, but same nose, same expression about the mouth, same shaped head. Mr. Le Cron of Los Angeles has nothing to do with the New Deal or its works. He was just another spectator. * % ¥ % AIR RACE. ONE of the flight test pilots at the Anacostia Naval Air Station, while making a high-speed Tun over | the speed course along the Potomac | River a few days ago, engaged in a spirited and winning “dog fight” with a bird of unknown variety, By smears on the plane it is re- garded as a certainty that the Bird came out second best, although the | plane also suffered to the extent of a badly split ring cowl and dented | wing leading edge. The greatest damage, however, it was reported, was to the nervous sys- tem of the pilot, who had his head | below the cowling, reading instru- | ments, when the combatants came into violent and noisy collision. Woman Leaves Ring to Church. Mrs. M. Wallis, who died recently in Porthcawl, Wales, has left her engage- ment ring to St. John's Church of that city. She requested the vicar and church wardens to have the ring reset and the materials used for beautifying | the church ornaments or utensils. Mrs. | Wallis also bequeated $2,500 woward the advancement of religion. MRS. GRAY HONORED Praised for Organizing Social Group in U. 8. Bervice. In recognition of her work in organ- izing & social group for the families | of new Government officials in Wash- ington, Mrs. L. C. Gray, wife of Dr. L. C. Gray, chief of the Division of | Land Utilization, Resettlement Admin- istration, was guest of honor at a lurcheon yesterday at the Highlands Dining Room. Mrs. Gray was presented with a basket of flowers from the members of the organization. Mrs. M. L. Wil- son, wife of the Assistant Secretary of Agricultuge, in making the presen- tation, lauded Mrs. Gray as the “active chairman and leading spirit” in a program which has provided social life for the wives of officials coming to Washington as strangers from their positions at various col- leges and universities fhroughout the country, SINGLE ROOM/AND PRIVATE BATH | A new hotel on 42nd Street 8 blocks ~‘ of Grand Central Sration.
