" Seventh Street 'Between D and E PARKING—DRIVE ~TO OUR REAR ENTRANCE—YOUR CAR WILL BE Events an GOLD IN THE PARK. AYBE you didn't know it, but there’s gold in *“that thar” Rock Creek Park. Be- fore you get ideas of an- other '49 rush, however, we’ll tell you here ana now, it belongs to the Gov- ernment. The existence of gold in the park was officially established by testimony and samples during condemnation | proceedings through which the park | land was acquired. Owners of some tracts insisted the | ipresem-e of these valuable deposits | should be recognized and be reflected | |in the purchase price to be paid by | | the United States and the District governments. The Government con- | cedes the existence of the gold but | | government counsel, Hugh T. Tag-| gart, showed that in the royal grants for this land the English Crown had} | retained the rights to all minerals, | | metals and precious stones. This was | capped by showing that in the Dis- | trict the U. S. is the successor to the Crown and that therefore the gold | was already the property of the U. S. Thus the landholders had to take jonly land values. Taggart was the | | father of Etta L. Taggart, who is a| | vice president of the Federation of Citizens’ Associations. BELIEVE IN SIGNS? Perhaps the sign on the window ©of a Ninth street sandwich shop just below U street is naively pro= phetic. It states: *“Addis Ababa— Under New.Management.” * ok Kk % SIGN OF THE THUMB. | | "THIS true story of potential horror | is told by Frances Gutelius Smith, Washington music teacher. | Two young girls motoring through the country saw a harmless looking young man give them the sign of the thumb. They stopped and gave him & lift—even divided their lunch | with him when they found he was hungry. During the course of conversation they told him their names and where they livedd When they let him out he expressed his thanks. At the girls failed to note bewildered expression on Perhaps they rec however, for they re him. re of hitch hike you picked me uy murder you and t I had that plan time you shared you After that—well, I coul you don't belicve me, look in tk pocket of your car in the back seat, | where I rode.” The girls did. In the pocket they found a revolver—loaded. * ok % ox DID YOU KNOW—? Beginning at the 30-foot mark on the inner wcll of the Washing- ton Monument are stones 4 feet long, 2 jeet high and 12 to 18 inches thick, coming jrom practi= cally all of the States of the Union. In all there are 187 memorial stones from various parts of the world, including those from the Parthenon at Athens, the ruins of ancient Carthage and the tomb of Napoleon at St. Hel SAILING INTO TROUBLE. LIKE many other high school boys he had become very adept at sailing the tops of ice cream cups for long distances. He practiced in the school lunch room during the lunch hours, He reached the classification of ex- pert the other day when the cup top sailed the entire length of the lunch| room. It might have sailed on through the door into the kitchen—if it hadn't hit the school principal squarely in the face. Commending the marksman for his skill, the principal had a new art for the student to master. According to latest reports he is still practicing. It consists of staying after school each day and helping the janitor empty the school wastebaskets. * K * ok NOTE ON WOMEN'S EARS. Women have more sensitive ears than men. Not for gossip over the back fence, but for the high fre- quency mnotes in music, in the voices of birds, et cetera. Notes that are mnot audible to @ man’s ears are easily heard by women, according to frequency experts at- tending the annual convention of the Society of Motion Picture En- gineers at the Wardman Park Hotel. = & COSTLY UPLIFT. N THE good old days every house | with any pretense to gentility had at least one upping-stone in front of it for the convenience of the ladies. Carriage steps were too high to reach without them. The street car platform has taken| the place of the upping-stone, in a | sense, and the stones themselves are as rare as hitching-posts. | The Capital Transit Co. maintains | 220 of these “upping-platforms” in | Washington. Their initial cost is| ADVERTISEMEN T00 MUCH ACID MAY BE WHAT AILS YOU akes You Tired, Pepless Too much acid can make you feel more miserable and rotten than almost any other one thing. It sours food, makes vile gases, causes heartburn and Dpains. You don't get the good out of what you eat. You lose strencth and energy—you feel old and look it. Get rid of sour acid and keep rid of it for good by taking some water with a teaspoonful of Placidan in it several times a day. Placidan “wipes out” ex- cessive_acidity without disturbing the stomach juices. It forms a coating over raw, irritated membranes and helps stop the making of more burning acid.

Thus, it costs the transit company just $9,900 a year to help its passen- gers get on the street cars. * x * X LESSON IN ADDRESSES. \SSISTANT DISTRICT ATTOR- NEY A. GOLDSTEIN has just had a lesson in Washington addresses which he expects will prove valuable to him in the future, especially in his present occupation. Recently he received a letter from 1900 C street southeast. He opened the letter and attempted to read it, but it was so illegible he could not decipher its contents. When none of his associates could make out even the purpose of the communication, Goldstein replied, stating he was sorry he could not read the letter and suggested it would be much more satisfactory for the writer to call in person. He addressed the letter to 1900 C street southeast. Soon he received an answer which he could read. Said the writer, “I am sorry I can't come to see you. I am in the District Jail and unless you do something about it I am likely to stay here quite a spell. That's what I was writing OCTOBER 24, ROGERS MEMORIAL FUND TO BE RAISED 1935. Will Take Form of Philanthropies. A drive will begin November 4, the 56th anniversary of the late Will Rogers’ birth, to raise money for me- morials to the huinorist. It will end November 27. Sponsors of the movement declare the memorials will be in the form of philanthropies rather than monu- | ments or similar devices of senti- mental rather than utilitarian pur- pose. | In a letter describing the campaign, | capt.
