Washington. ? Finding your atate In Washington, a puzzle contest the capital offers free to visit ore. Each state represented In the senate and the house is represented many more times in the highways and byways of the District of Colum bia. "Somewhere In the federal reserva tion a broad avenue honors every state except one/' says a bulletin from the headquarters of the National Geo graphic society. Avenues at Angles. ?Only native sons of the state of Washington seek vainly for 'their' avenue. There is a Washington street, hut that does not count, l'or In the capital avenues are the macadam patrician and never run on line with the streets. Famous Pennsylvania avenue runs 'west nor' west' from the capitol toward the White House and all Its forty-six brother avenues named for states proclaim their special sta tion by cutting angles among the staid streets which have to hew to north south or east-west lines. "What secret diplomacy gave Penn sylvania's name to 'The Avenue", as the capital calls It? That Is still secret. The map of L'Enfant. the French en gineer and father of city planning In America, names the streets but not the avenues. Some say geography gave It to Pennsylvania. It Is the middle avenue of three great parallel boule vards Ju*?t as Pennsylvania was the middle state *?f the original thirteen. South of Pennsylvania avenue Is Vir ginia avenue and north of it is Massa chusetts avenue. While Pennsylvania avenue is more famous, Massachusetts Is more beautiful, for the latter Is bordered by handsome buildings and by far more lindens than filter den Linden, Merlin's famous boulevard. New England States. "Avenues named for southern states usually are southwest of the capitol. where the original planners expected the greatest development; However, like all American cities. Washington has moved With glacier slowness to a new axis. Now tli?* busiest a'venues ti re those northwest of the White House, carrying the names of the New I England states ; < 'onnecticut, Vermont.

"Mathematical sharks can hare a feast on the enigma presented by state names on the Lincoln memorial.

Maine Workman Is Still Doing Big Jobs ? Has Been a Lifelong Smoker. Waterville. Maine.? A little tobacco a day adds years to one's life in the opinion of William Peterson, eighty three. of .this city, who lays claim to being the champion paperhanger of this section. Although Peterson is an ardent booster of Maine's Three-Quarter Cen tury club and hopes to become a char ter member of It early In September, j there's nothing antique uhout him. He ' wt?rks ever* day, and has Just com pleted a job of hanging (500 rolls of ? paper. He's ready to hang paper with fche l?est of them or the youngest, he fc-ys. ? For years he has been passing for Vabout sixty-five." "You see. If folks thought I was eighty-three they might j ftot believe I was capable," Peterson j | explained. "But I g<> ahead and do the job for them as well as the young sters at the business." It isn't total abstinence of either In toxicating liquors ??r tobaccos which have kept him in good health, he de clares. "I smoke ail the time and I drank in the days when it was pos sible to." he said with a twinkle In his eves. \ "But I get plenty of sleep and I eat very little f??od. Folks nowadays are killing themselves by overeating, particularly by indulging in rich fwds," he declared. "What's more. I never need a doctor and I am not both I % ered by deafness at all." he added. Famous Tree in Atlanta Is Reduced to Log Pile Atlanta. Ga.?

Judging from the number of rings, which Doc tor Harrell said he had counted him self. it was seventy-eight years old. No definite plans for disposition of the logs have been made as yet. but there Is a possibility that they will either be used to make furniture for the church or that they will be cut up In some form for souvenirs.
