A Gay Shirts v . > With stripes of yellow, blue and green, and pink and purple in between, the kind of shirts we're wearing now would jar the antlers from a cow. Who are the gay and giddy flirts who hand down fashions in men's shirts? Do they wear brains front side behind. or are they merely color blind? When I jog down the village street, I wear sane shoes upon my feet; my outer garments all are mild, by freaks of fashion undefiled: my lid's an unassuming one, its color brown, approaching dun. My rags don't cV»r»^L- rmhlir pvps T am nn rainbow in disguise. But modest folks feel pained and hurt when they behold by scieaming shirt. "Since when," they ask, "O ribald soul, have you become a barber's pole?" "Since my good frau went chasing down to study fashions in the town ; she'd rather see me lying dead and planted where the daisies spread, than wearing garments out of date, and hence this shirt, whose hues I hate." With gaudy stripes and gorgeous bars and purple dots and yellow stars, my shirt is cutting lots of grass, and mules are shving as they pass. WALT MASON. BUILDING GREAT MOUND ATLINCQLN MEMORIAL Clark Howard, Landscape Architect, Here to Study Artistic Problems Involved. Mound building on an extensive scale Is in active progress at the site of the Lincoln memorial in West Potomac Park. The large hills, daily growing in size, eventually are to be graded and molded into an artistic setting for the approaches to the classic marble temple. The large fill at the site is necessitated hy the fact that the base of the marble memorial is forty-five feet above the former level of the park at that point. Under the approved design that elevation is to be reached by a series of terraces within a circular area having a diameter of 1,000 feet. The exact treatment of this great mound has not yet been settled. Col. W. W. Harts, the engineer officer, supervising the construction of the memorial, has engaged the services of Clark Howard, a landscape architect of New York, to assist in the preparation of plans for its development. Studying Landscape Problem. Mr. Howard has reported for duty and is engaged in making a personal study of the site and its environments, including tne Arlington national cemetery and the Washington National Monument. He is expected to design suitable approaches and the si*e and character of the terraces. By means of the terraces the ground Around the base of the Lincoln memorial will be raised to the same level as the ground at the base of the Washington Monument. The basic terrace will be circular in form and about 1,000 feet in diameter. How high it will be has not been settled. On its outer edge will be planted four concentric rows of trees, leaving a plateau in the center probably 750 feet in diameter. In the center of that plateau will rise another terrace probably sixteen feet high and 500 feet in diameter. Whether this terrace shall rise gradually toward the base of the memorial or whether there shall be other terraces of varying heights is yet to be determined. From the main entrance of the memo- rial to the Washington Monument will stretch a wide esplanade flanked on each sidfc by two rows of large shade trees, probably English elms, forming a beautiful vista between the structures. Two Plans of Treatment. Two general plans of treatment are under consideration for the great mound on which the memorial will be located. One of these, calling for a series of terraces of large area, will require a fill of about one million cubic yards. The other plan, with terraces of smaller area, will require the use of about three hundred and fifty thousand cubic yards of additional material for grading. It is estimated that about one hundred and seventy thousand cubic yards of material already have been deposited near the site of the memorial. An additional supply of about one hundred and fifty thousand cubic yards will be procured from the excavation being made for the foundations for the building for the Department of the Interior in the square bounded by 18th and 19th and E and F streets. By special arrangement with the various departments concerned, the material from the Interior Department site is being transported to the Lincoln memorial site over an improvised railway. The permit for laying that railway on the intervening streets and into the park requires that the material shall be delivered and the tracks removed within a period of three months. Safety First! To the Editor of The I protest against being deprived of the principal means that we, pedes- Indus, nave 01 promoting our safety. I understand that vehicle# have the right of way in the roadways exoept at street intersections, and that we leave the sidewalks between streets at great risk. I think the public would like to know by what authority the reviewing stands are covering the sidewalks, forcing us to use the roadways and largely increasing the liability to accident. .Some people are willing to pay a dollar or more for opportunity to see th*- G. A. R. parade, and some other people are anxious to get the dollars, but that does not justify making the crowds of people who live here and will visit us increasingly liable to Injury. If those reviewing stands must be as they are, a part of each side of the roadways should be substantially wired off in order to guard us.persons going to their stands also, from Injury. C. M D.

INDICATIONS POINT TO RECORD ENROLLMENT Institution to Begin Term September 29.New Courses in Nearly All Departments. With faculty members and students returning: to the city from their summer vacations, preparations are being made for the opening of the collegiate year at George Washington University Wednesday, September 29. The deans!' of the nine departments of the insti- j' tution are at their offices daily and j1 registration is well under way. The j registration last year was 1,790.a big increase over the preceding years; but indications are that this number will j be greatly exceeded the coming year. RentiPats for catalogues and informa- tion are more numerous this year than ever before, according to clerks in the office of the secretary. The university plant has been renovated and placed in flrst-class condition for the opening of the university year. Extensive additions to equipment have been made in the physics, chemis- try and electricity laboratories. Dr. Paul Bartsch, professor of zoology, has returned from a collecting tour on the Gulf of Mexico and he has many specimens to add to the collection in the zoological laboratories. He took many reels of motion pictures during his trip, and these will be used this winter in connection with his lecture courses. Changes In Faculty. Several changes in the faculty have been made and a large number of new graduate and student assistants have been appointed. Delos H. Smith, who holds the degree of bachelor of science in architecture, has been appointed in| structor in architecture. William D. Halsey has been made instructor in mechanical engineering and will give a new course on heating and ventilating. There will be a few new courses in nearly all nine departments of the university. Assistant Prof. Albert Lewis Harris will give a new course in archi- tectural engineering. Assistant Prof. Nathan Washington Dougherty of the civil engineering department will give I a new course on general astronomy. Prof. William Allen Wilbur, dean of! Columbian College and head of the c-^u-v. /»«no Mmonf will intrndiifp n new course on the short story which will be primarily for graduates. It will be given Tuesday and Thursday afternoons at 5 o'clock. Assistant Prof. Richard Cobb, secretary of the university, will give a new course on the English novel. Dr. George Morton Churchill, assistant professor of history, will give a new course on English constitutional history, explaining the evolution of the parliamentary gov- erament, with an incidental study of social and industrial development. Lecture oil History of Science. Dr. George Sarton of Ghent, Belgium, who is the recipient of the first scholarship offered by the university to Belgian refugees, will give a lecture course on the history of science. The first lecture of the series will be deliv; ered Friday, October 29. Arrangements probably will be made so that persons not regular students at the institution may be admitted to the lectures. After the devastation of Belgium by the German army Dr. Sarton was awarded the scholarship on the recommendation of Dr. Nevil Monroe Hop- n-iid| uooiiiuiiu )/i vi^dovi , who was in Europe at the outbreak of the war and who for several months was a Red Cross surgeon. Dr. Sarton is here with his wife and family. He] formerly was editor of Isis, an interna- tional scientific magazine, and he has an enviable reputation as a scientist. His costly scientific library at Ghent was destroyed during the German invasion. 919.00 To Oolambni.O.,A Return. 919.00 Baltimore & Ohio, 6ept. 18 to 20, valid "for return until Sept. 28..Advertisement. OYSTEB SHELLS FOE CRUSHING. Accumulation Being Removed From Local Wharf to Alexandria. J Shipments of oyster shells from the oyster wharf to the crushing plant at Alexandria have been resumed, and this afternoon a lighter will leave the 11th street wharf for Alexandria with the ] first load that has been carried away in several months. Though the oyster season has Just opened, oysters have been arriving at the wharf market since the first of the month and the shucking houses have made shell enough to about make several lighter loads. The Alexandria crushing plant not only takes the shells from the wharf shucking houses, but from those uptown as well, and in the winter season the lighters have to make several trips each week to keep them- cleared up. j Before the establishment of the crushing plant the shells were piled I. back of the flshhouses thirty feet high, and in the summer were taken to river points to replenish exhausted oyster beds. ] Leonard Bradley Dies in Hampton. Word has been received here of the death last^ Sunday of Leonard Bradley, for many years a resident of this city, at his home in Hampton, Va. At the time of his death he was employed at the National Soldiers' Home. His wife, two daughters and a son are llTing. -3T t VITH THE JONESES kMYE^BuT WH£REl| [Go?h! \ s ^(i£ 700 Going we go\ > TO GET "THE BLOOD BLooo hound j?, \ -SoPPo: Some fine fishing is in store for weekend anglers on the upper Potomac and even about Georgetown in the Little river, unless there is more rain, according to fishermen up there. "The water is clearing finely," said Will Reynolds, "and I look for some good catches." A large string of big-mouth bass was caught in the Little river Monday by an angler who refused to disclose his identity, according to Mr. Reynolds. Several other fishermen were in the Little river Sunday and succeeded in making good catches. "The Monster," as it has been known to fishermen in the vicinity of Seneca for several years, and which had succeeded in evading the efforts of many persons to capture it until last Friday, is a snapping turtle, or was until it was cooked. Albert Reynolds of Georgetown captured it. When weighed the turtle tipped the scales at seventeen and a quarter pounds. Will Reynolds, Albert Reynolds, William White and Frank Hayes went to Seneca last week in a launch, going up the Chesapeake and Ohio canal. They spent most of their time in what is known as the basin at Seneca. The first day the fishermen tried their luck Albert Reynolds felt a hard tug at his line and called Frank Hayes, who was in the boat with him, for assistance. After half an hour's work, in which pole hooks and nets were used, the "monster" was pulled into the boat.. During the trip three other turtles were landed, which, with the "mon" -" "'V.o/j a tntol of thirtv nounds. SLCI, WCI(UCU u VV..U. « ^ A turtle soup feast was participated in last Tuesday by the fishermen and their friends. Twenty-five bass, some of which were of the small-mouth variety, were landed also. Will Dover, Edgar Shaw, Ernest Leighton, Clarence Raymond, Frank Wells, Hugh Dawson and Cliff Crocker returned Tuesday morning from a trip to Colonial Beach. The members of the party, who were on the fishing grounds near the river resort for four days, brought home a report of some fine catches. On the first day the count was twenty-six trout, two flounders and eighteen perch. "The three other days," said Ernest Leighton, "we did even better." Capt. Sims of No. 18 engine company, Arthur S. Witcomb of the United States Marine Band, John H. Gates, jr., of the city post office and Thomas Harris visited Rock Point, Md., recently and after fishing from 5:30 o'clock in the morning until 4 o'clock in the afternoon returned to the city with 268 large white perch, fourteen trout, eight tailors and eleven rockflsh. Mr. Gates said the sport was so good that it was a common event to pull in two fish at a time. Jess Dorsey, Will Edwards, Abe Rein- hart and Cleveland Wentworth recently spent seven days on a fishing trip to the lower Potomac. They returned home Monday and brought with them a story of big catcheB. To show that they had luck the anglers brought with them about half a barrel of fish, which they had salted down for consumption during the fall and winter months. "We certainly struck them right," said Edwards. "Every day we fished the results were fine strings. We were not the only ones, neither, who got results. There were several other parties who were on the fishing grounds near us, and they also made good catches." A fishing trip to Ocean City, Md., Is being planned by William Jackson. He has communicated with several of his friends, and already Charles Dorsey, Cochran Wells, Howard Malone, Qlenn Stevens and Frank Herman have signl- fled their intention of becoming "mem- bers." The fishermen are expected to leave Washington tomorrow, and will remain at the resort for a week. "If we have any kind of luck," said Wells, "we probably will make a longer stay." William Fredericks, John B. Smith, Edward Tracy, Walter Evans. Elmer Evans and George Welch spent the week end at Enfield, Md.. In the vicinity of the place where Howard Brooks hooked a big tailor recently. and they were rewarded by a large catch of flsh there Sunday. In the string they brought to Washington were fourteen tailors, the largest of which weighed two and a half pounds; ten perch and about twenty-five trout. Two flounders, which also were landed, were presented to a resident of EnHeld. The members of the party are contemplating a similar trip In the near future. Frank Madlgan, Howard Brooks and John Hurley left Friday night for a three-day trip to Solomons Island, where they heard flsh were biting freely. F. B. Crovo, Jr., and D. P. Collins Bpent Sunday at Rock Point and when they returned to Washington that night had a string of forty flsh with them. Most of the ones they landed were of good size. Mr. and Mrs. B. W. Chlswell fished at Rock Point several days ago with great success, landing a number of large trout and perch. E. P. Hazelton, B. L. Wiseman, Eddie Wissman, H. L. Dennlson and Frankj Pickling all made good catches there last Sunday. L. A. Barr and L. Stewart Barr, who flshed for the first time at Rock Point, were among the suecessful anglers. The finest blueflsh that has been caugnt ai mock Point this season was landed recently by Billy Withers and Walter Schnlder. Having established himself as the leading fisherman of the season at EnHeld, Md.f Howard Brooks was not satisfied and decided to go to Rock Point and "show" anglers there how fish ought to be caught^ "He Is now the king of fishermen at Rock Point." said John Hurley. Hurley declared that no fisherman at the resort has done as good angling this season as has Brooks. The two fishermen were out on the river SunHay. When they returned at noon there were eighteen trout, thirty perch and three tailors on their string. "Brooks got the majority of them." aid Hurley. "Wo went out In the .The Camel Was Insult 3ENALI Hftfft WHAT* )l UHftl"! OH IN' TO DO TOO. ft HA3TEB ? HOUND ?

The flsh which were caught in the morning had been cleaned and placed on ice for Hurley to bring back to Washington. In the hurry to get away in the evening Brooks grabbed up a Dackasre of fish and eave them to his fellow fisherman. When Hurley arrived here he discovered that he had fish belonging to some one else and also that they had not been cleaned. "I heard from Brobks," he said, "and he told me the other fellow let out a howl when he found some one had carried off his string. He ought to have been sattisfied, as the fish left there were all cleaned and were more than he lost." A successful fishing trip to North Chesapeake Reach was made Sunday by Medical Director Green of the United States Navy ami D. Hinckley Lyman of this city. The anglers got an early start Sunday morning and soon reached the fishing grounds. When they returned to shore their string contained 176 trout, spots and crockers. One of the trout weighed 2% pounds. Mr. Hinckley said that fishing at the resort this month and next promises to be exceptionally good. More than 128 fish were landed by four Washingtonrans on a trip to Rock Point, Thursday. The string included a number of large trout, rock, perch and tailors. The party went to the fishing shore in an automobile and were out on the water early in the morning. Those In the party were Charles G. Dougherty, H. H. McKeever, Maltland Wright and Bruce Branson. *2.50 to Philadelphia. *2.23 Cheater. *2.00 Wilmington, and Return.

Gay Shirtsv . >

With stripes of yellow, blue andgreen, and pink and purple in between,the kind of shirts we'rewearing now would jar the antlersfrom a cow. Who are the gayand giddy flirts who hand downfashions in men's shirts? Dothey wear brains front side behind.or are they merely colorblind? When I jog down the villagestreet, I wear sane shoesupon my feet; my outer garmentsall are mild, by freaks of fashionundefiled: my lid's an unassumingone, its color brown, approachingdun.

barber's pole?" "Since my goodfrau went chasing down to studyfashions in the town ; she'd rathersee me lying dead and plantedwhere the daisies spread, thanwearing garments out of date,and hence this shirt, whose huesI hate." With gaudy stripes andgorgeous bars and purple dotsand yellow stars, my shirt is cuttinglots of grass, and mules are

BUILDING GREAT MOUNDATLINCQLN MEMORIAL

Clark Howard, Landscape Architect,Here to Study Artistic Problems

Involved.

Mound building on an extensive scaleIs in active progress at the site of theLincoln memorial in West PotomacPark. The large hills, daily growingin size, eventually are to be gradedand molded into an artistic setting forthe approaches to the classic marbletemple. The large fill at the site isnecessitated hy the fact that the baseof the marble memorial is forty-fivefeet above the former level of the parkat that point. Under the approved designthat elevation is to be reachedby a series of terraces within a circulararea having a diameter of 1,000feet.The exact treatment of this great

mound has not yet been settled. Col.W. W. Harts, the engineer officer, supervisingthe construction of the memorial,has engaged the services ofClark Howard, a landscape architect ofNew York, to assist in the preparationof plans for its development.

Studying Landscape Problem.Mr. Howard has reported for duty

and is engaged in making a personalstudy of the site and its environments,including tne Arlington national cemeteryand the Washington NationalMonument. He is expected to designsuitable approaches and the si*e andcharacter of the terraces.By means of the terraces the ground

Around the base of the Lincoln memorialwill be raised to the same levelas the ground at the base of the WashingtonMonument. The basic terracewill be circular in form and about 1,000feet in diameter. How high it willbe has not been settled. On its outeredge will be planted four concentricrows of trees, leaving a plateau in thecenter probably 750 feet in diameter.In the center of that plateau will riseanother terrace probably sixteen feethigh and 500 feet in diameter. Whetherthis terrace shall rise gradually towardthe base of the memorial or whetherthere shall be other terraces of varyingheights is yet to be determined.From the main entrance of the memo-

rial to the Washington Monument willstretch a wide esplanade flanked oneach sidfc by two rows of large shadetrees, probably English elms, forminga beautiful vista between the structures.

Two Plans of Treatment.Two general plans of treatment are

under consideration for the greatmound on which the memorial will belocated. One of these, calling for a

series of terraces of large area, willrequire a fill of about one million cubicyards. The other plan, with terracesof smaller area, will require the use ofabout three hundred and fifty thousandcubic yards of additional material forgrading.

It is estimated that about one hundredand seventy thousand cubic yardsof material already have been depositednear the site of the memorial. Anadditional supply of about one hundredand fifty thousand cubic yards will beprocured from the excavation beingmade for the foundations for the buildingfor the Department of the Interiorin the square bounded by 18th and 19thand E and F streets. By special arrangementwith the various departmentsconcerned, the material from theInterior Department site is beingtransported to the Lincoln memorialsite over an improvised railway. Thepermit for laying that railway on theintervening streets and into the parkrequires that the material shall be deliveredand the tracks removed withina period of three months.

Some fine fishing is in store for weekendanglers on the upper Potomac andeven about Georgetown in the Littleriver, unless there is more rain, accordingto fishermen up there."The water is clearing finely," said

Will Reynolds, "and I look for some

good catches."A large string of big-mouth bass was

caught in the Little river Monday byan angler who refused to disclose hisidentity, according to Mr. Reynolds.Several other fishermen were in theLittle river Sunday and succeeded in

making good catches.

"The Monster," as it has been knownto fishermen in the vicinity of Senecafor several years, and which had succeededin evading the efforts of manypersons to capture it until last Friday,is a snapping turtle, or was until itwas cooked. Albert Reynolds ofGeorgetown captured it. When weighedthe turtle tipped the scales at seventeenand a quarter pounds.Will Reynolds, Albert Reynolds, WilliamWhite and Frank Hayes went to

Seneca last week in a launch, going upthe Chesapeake and Ohio canal. Theyspent most of their time in what isknown as the basin at Seneca. The firstday the fishermen tried their luck AlbertReynolds felt a hard tug at hisline and called Frank Hayes, who was

in the boat with him, for assistance.After half an hour's work, in whichpole hooks and nets were used, the"monster" was pulled into the boat..During the trip three other turtles

were landed, which, with the "mon"-" "'V.o/j a tntol of thirtv nounds.SLCI, WCI(UCU u VV..U. « ^

A turtle soup feast was participated inlast Tuesday by the fishermen and theirfriends. Twenty-five bass, some ofwhich were of the small-mouth variety,were landed also.

Will Dover, Edgar Shaw, ErnestLeighton, Clarence Raymond, FrankWells, Hugh Dawson and Cliff Crockerreturned Tuesday morning from a tripto Colonial Beach. The members ofthe party, who were on the fishinggrounds near the river resort for fourdays, brought home a report of some

fine catches. On the first day the countwas twenty-six trout, two floundersand eighteen perch. "The three otherdays," said Ernest Leighton, "we dideven better."

Capt. Sims of No. 18 engine company,Arthur S. Witcomb of the United StatesMarine Band, John H. Gates, jr., of thecity post office and Thomas Harris visitedRock Point, Md., recently and afterfishing from 5:30 o'clock in the morninguntil 4 o'clock in the afternoon returnedto the city with 268 large whiteperch, fourteen trout, eight tailors andeleven rockflsh.Mr. Gates said the sport was so good

that it was a common event to pull intwo fish at a time.

Jess Dorsey, Will Edwards, Abe Rein-hart and Cleveland Wentworth recentlyspent seven days on a fishing tripto the lower Potomac. They returnedhome Monday and brought with thema story of big catcheB. To show thatthey had luck the anglers broughtwith them about half a barrel of fish,which they had salted down for consumptionduring the fall and wintermonths."We certainly struck them right,"

said Edwards. "Every day we fishedthe results were fine strings. We werenot the only ones, neither, who gotresults. There were several otherparties who were on the fishinggrounds near us, and they also madegood catches."

A fishing trip to Ocean City, Md., Isbeing planned by William Jackson. Hehas communicated with several of hisfriends, and already Charles Dorsey,Cochran Wells, Howard Malone, QlennStevens and Frank Herman have signl-fled their intention of becoming "mem-bers." The fishermen are expected toleave Washington tomorrow, and willremain at the resort for a week. "Ifwe have any kind of luck," said Wells,"we probably will make a longerstay."

William Fredericks, John B. Smith,Edward Tracy, Walter Evans. ElmerEvans and George Welch spent theweek end at Enfield, Md.. In the vicinityof the place where HowardBrooks hooked a big tailor recently.and they were rewarded by a largecatch of flsh there Sunday. In thestring they brought to Washingtonwere fourteen tailors, the largest ofwhich weighed two and a half pounds;ten perch and about twenty-five trout.Two flounders, which also were landed,were presented to a resident of EnHeld.The members of the party arecontemplating a similar trip In thenear future.Frank Madlgan, Howard Brooks andJohn Hurley left Friday night for a

three-day trip to Solomons Island,where they heard flsh were bitingfreely.F. B. Crovo, Jr., and D. P. Collins

Bpent Sunday at Rock Point and whenthey returned to Washington that nighthad a string of forty flsh with them.Most of the ones they landed were ofgood size.

Mr. and Mrs. B. W. Chlswell fished atRock Point several days ago withgreat success, landing a number oflarge trout and perch.E. P. Hazelton, B. L. Wiseman, Eddie

Wissman, H. L. Dennlson and FrankjPickling all made good catches therelast Sunday. L. A. Barr and L. StewartBarr, who flshed for the first timeat Rock Point, were among the suecessfulanglers.The finest blueflsh that has been

caugnt ai mock Point this season waslanded recently by Billy Withers andWalter Schnlder.

Having established himself as theleading fisherman of the season at EnHeld,Md.f Howard Brooks was not satisfiedand decided to go to Rock Pointand "show" anglers there how fishought to be caught^ "He Is now theking of fishermen at Rock Point." saidJohn Hurley.Hurley declared that no fisherman at

the resort has done as good anglingthis season as has Brooks. The twofishermen were out on the river SunHay.When they returned at noonthere were eighteen trout, thirty perchand three tailors on their string."Brooks got the majority of them."aid Hurley. "Wo went out In the

morning had been cleaned and placedon ice for Hurley to bring back toWashington. In the hurry to get awayin the evening Brooks grabbed up aDackasre of fish and eave them to hisfellow fisherman. When Hurley arrivedhere he discovered that he hadfish belonging to some one else andalso that they had not been cleaned.

"I heard from Brobks," he said, "andhe told me the other fellow let out ahowl when he found some one had carriedoff his string. He ought to havebeen sattisfied, as the fish left therewere all cleaned and were more thanhe lost."

A successful fishing trip to NorthChesapeake Reach was made Sunday byMedical Director Green of the UnitedStates Navy ami D. Hinckley Lyman ofthis city. The anglers got an earlystart Sunday morning and soon reachedthe fishing grounds. When they returnedto shore their string contained176 trout, spots and crockers. One ofthe trout weighed 2% pounds.Mr. Hinckley said that fishing at the

resort this month and next promises tobe exceptionally good.More than 128 fish were landed by

four Washingtonrans on a trip to RockPoint, Thursday. The string includeda number of large trout, rock, perchand tailors. The party went to thefishing shore in an automobile andwere out on the water early in themorning.Those In the party were Charles G.
