a Hungarian orchestra especially
pleased the president with it's inspir-

amusing incident OF the early part of
| the dinner was furnished by Mr. Taur-
! sig, prominent member of the club.
He is tall man with long black hair
and rather striking countenance. He
was sitting down in front of the presi-
dent and started up TO shake hands
with him, when there was an imme-
date rush of secret service men to the
rescue. This caused great amusement
among the members Of the club. and
the president gave him a most cordial
greeting.

club of Kansas City to President
