HEARD IN THE LOBB|ES

F. c. Moselle. a celebrity in auto
mobile circles because he was the first
man to promote an auto show in Los
Angeles. left the Stag hotel for Pres
colt last Friday evening. He was
accompanied by Billy Gordon. Billy
and Moselle are regarded as an ex-
ceedingly clever pair of fellows. 1t
might also be noted down, for the in
formation of those who have not
learned their phenomenal verbosity
through personal contact. that Billy
and Mosey are some takers. They
use more language in a single work
ing hour than a lyceum lecturer
would use in six months of platform
work. 1t is delightful to hear them
talk, because the language effervesces
from the very depths. of their hearts,
and is not in any forced. II is
understood that on the day Of his
birth Moselle called the doctor down
for giving him too much castor oil,
and delivered a lecture on infant hy
gicnce that deserves to rank with
La Follettes dissertation on the rail
road question.
