Elephant using its trunk to turn the crank to open the umbrella at the traffic policeman's stop/go stand in the intersection of 14th St. and Pennsylvania NW in Washington, DC. Taken Dec. 5th, 1923. Such stop/go signs were operated manually by the traffic policeman. It is likely the elephant was part of a circus visiting the nations' capital.
