MAKING SOUVENIRS FOR INAUGURATION March 4 o Be Day o Glory for Gounlry‘s Fakirs ‘Washington, Feb. 23—0! course there's no sense in coming to Wash- ington if you can't prove it after- ward. That's why the mantelpieces, sofas and parior tables of the na- tion are covered with collections of miscellaneous junk which would long ago have been thrown out were it not for the magic inscription, “Washington, D. C.” Years ago your correspondent ised to marvel at the souvenirs ught home by graduating high school classes from Washington, most, most of all at the little Uncle Sam hats, Washington monuments and other objects constructed of actual paper money mashed into mush after it had outworn fts use- fulness. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing, by the way, still sells this pulp at $15 a ton. Twenty or more shops on Penn- sylvania avenue are bulging with an infinite variety of Washington souvenirs today, in‘anticipation of 000 or 200,000 visitors expected here for the Hoover inauguration. These are the shops whence come those strange things proudly dis- played by the returned tourist. A great number of the Washing- ton souvenirs are made abroad—in Japan, Germany, ltaly and Austria. Despite tarift walls, foreign novelty manufacturers can sell them cheap- er, apparently, than ours. Those tin hrass tray: used to reccive ashes, calling cards, pins or collar huttons —or even just as ornaments—all profusely decorated with scenes of the capitol and other Washington sights, are made in Japan. These trays are alw among (e best sellers on the avenue, as are the tiny Washington marble, with th and selling at according to size, monuments w IHL!\ are made in_Austria. Don't forget vour pockethook, for you can buy almost anything bear. ing “Washington, D. C.” or a representation of the capitol, and sometimes both. The souvenir shops are waiting eagerly. Lawrence Miller, one of the shop owners, say that he has just re- ceived & thousand vari-colored com- pacts for the ladies, on which the capitol is almost lifc-size. These arc very popular all along the avenue, but your correspondent does not guarantee the quality of the rouge.

Photos always sell well, of course, There’s a nice colored postcard of the entire Hoover family, plain photos of Hoover and Curtis, hand- somely painted framed photos of cherry blossoms and other Washing- ton scenery and a colored calendar with pictures of the Statue of Liberty, Hoover, Curtis, the Spirit of St. Louis, Lindbergh, Washington, Jefferson the dirigible Los Angeles, Lincoln, Wilson, Babe Ruth, the capitol, Roosevelt, Jack Dempsey, Commander Rosendahl and the New York skyline. There are poems of rare senti- ment indelibly burned into leather| and addressed to mother, sistel father, uncle or what have you, an pillow covers of burnt leather with the capitol and the absolutely essen- tial “Washington, D.

Probably there will also be a de. mand for a combination pipe, cigar holder and cigaret holder displayed by most of the shops. When you look through a tiny hole in one end of this contraption, you see a partly dressed young woman. As a bargain, this comparcs favorably with the one-cent pieces which are put in tin frames and sold at a dime apiece. Or, the deck of playing cards, each | of which depicts a Washington scene.
