the attention of Mayor Gaynor. In

the summer cars and stick there, in
stead of moving along to the other
end when more people get on the
car. Iwould suggest that you con-

selhshness and hoggishness Of some
people in this matter is a distressing
spectacle"

imum punishment of six months

sired. to say nothing of the condi-
ments served as "side attractions. "
After all had eaten until they felt
like they would never be hungry
again, the genial host called on all
who could sing to do so-and they
sang. Such vocalism has never be-
fore been heard in the grove, and
the birds retired thoroughly discour-
aged.
The reason the singing was so
grand was that Col. Thompson said
at the outset that nobody would be
allowed to break out" in song who
had never sung before the crowned
heads of Europe. Jewell Smith,
whose greatest effort is II Am Run
ming For Sheriff." won great ap-
plause. whether it will win many

song wherever he goes.
A new vocalist made his debut be-
fore home audience in the person
of A. c. Overshiner. Alex looked as
warm as usual in that same blue
shirt and when he warmed up in
song somebody suggested that he
had secreted Victriola near by and
that Alex wasn't singing a note but
had turned Caruso loose in the Vic
triola. But AL got that black cap
full of applause, eli right.
