Loud-Honking Four Year Old Rouses Widener Bookworms

Unshorn head were raised hastily from the fine print of Widener thumb-marked volumes yesterday afternoon as annoyed scholars became suddenly aware of insistent car-honking directly outside the library on Massachusetts Avenue.

Yard cops rushed to the scene to find a four-year-old boy agitatedly pumping the horn and alternately screaming, "Mommie," out of the open car window. Asked for an explanation, the child would only repeat, "I'm in a hurry." He would not reveal where he was bound.
