Washington Wayside Random Observati Events and Things. BIG CHEESE. CCORDING to Ottomar Ham- ele, who seems to know about such things, the 1,250-pound cheese recently delivered to the White House wasn't a record ‘breaker, ] In fact, as compared with a cheese made by one Jacob Gampp, New York cheese manufacturer, away back in 1890, the Wisconsin creation was rather a negligible achievement, al- though it seemed like a lot of cheese before Mr. Hamele reported. Mr. Gampp's cheese—the product of 40,- 000 pounds of milk collected in one day from 3,400 cows—weighed 4,500 pounds. The manufacturer was rewarded be- yond his expectations. It turned out that the novelty of such a lnrseI cheese was such that it brought 16 cents a pound, quite a price for those days. * %k Kk x DOUBLE RESCUE. Passersby on Q street, among them Wayside Operctive 31, re- cently were attracted by the cries of an apartment tenant who needed rescuing from a ‘“hawk” that had dropped through an open window. Dashing into the building and up the stairs, the rescuers were admitted by the lady in distress. Cowering in a corner was the ‘hawk,” which turned out to be a small reddish-brown darn owl. It obviously needed rescuin”, too. * x Kk K SPORTING SCO1S. AN ENGLISHMAN snd & Scoixii- | & man were guests of a member of the Cosmos Club the other evening. ‘They discussed art, sclence and re- ligion and the conversation finally turned to story-telling. “The Scotch,” said the Englishman, *“are the best sports in the world. They are the only people in the universe who will tell jokes on themselves.” “That's true” the Scotchman agreed, “and I'll tell you the latest story about us that comes to my mind because of the great number of wed- wings I have read about in the news- papers here. “We have also had many weddings in Scotland this Fall, but there is one difference. We have our weddings in the garden so the chickens can eat the rice!” % ok % HE DISAPPOINTED A certain faculty member at George Washington University has said of mone-too-bright students that their motto might well be that of a local printer—“We never disappoint.” Several days later the projessor walked into the class room, turned to a student and said, “Name the major characters in ‘Hamlet.'” The chap responded. “Does the class agree?” asked the faculty m r\ 0, come o back of ‘tns room, ‘ne iorgol voice 1rom the * % % % STRINGING ALONG. “* most interesting of production plants, and during the course of each year hundreds of visitors are con- ducted through The Star Building and Firs | celebration of Thanl Kiwanis Internaticnal officers weie A.NEWSPAPER office is one of the| ons of Interesting the functions and operations of the several departments explained to them. The school year is the busy time for the reception of visitors, as a great majority are class groups. The youngest group ever shown through the cffices was on hand a few days ago—38 second-grade pupils, smiling, bright-eyed little boys and girls, whose average age must have been about 7 years. Under the watch- ful eyes of several mothers, they were divided into groups of six or eight. With one hand clasping the hand of another pupil. and the other holding tight to a plece of strong string, the children proceeded in orderly fashion through the building, not once giving in to the temptation of staging a tug- of-war. * ok Kk ¥k COSTLY CONFUSION. 'HE bright flood lights which Jl- luminate Maryland State Police Substation H at Waldorf are no dif- ferent from those used in many gaso- line filling stations. The suostation also has & neat lawn and shrubbery— like many gas stations. Those two features were all that a Washingron motorist needed late the other night to convince him the po- lice station would supply gas. He circled the station shouting “Give me 5 gallons.” ‘When no one came to wait on him | he begen honking his horn. Arcused | reacned tne car were up - ing so ciow in walling on 2 customer. Sergt. Louls Bloom, unable to con= vince the man no gas was available, placed him in a cell for the remainder of the night. The next day a Charles County magistrate fined him $100 for driving while drunk.
