Speaker Champ Clark persists In the

That was his statement only a few
days ago. when he renewed his proph-

here right along"

beginning December 3. That session
will more than likely span another
| summer, and those lawmakers who
wanted to avoid that seem doomed to
disappointment, according to some of
the older solons. The possibility
that home fences will need attention
, cannot draw the members away If
| their country faces a crisis. 1t is up
to most of them to make the next
| few weeks count, therefore. and to
resort to prayer and good works to
bring about condition that will en-
able them to do advance campaign

Attempts to divide American senti-

New York, Oct 6-The downtown
hotels-now that winter is on the way
are formulating plans to put the
skids under The Lobby Loungers.
those Broadway pests who consist of
two-thirds clothes and the rest nerve
and free lunch. The Lobby Lounger
lives on the fat OF the land and has
most of the fat up around his ears.
He has apartments in the corridors
OF the best hotels, travels in the
highest class revolving doors, smokes
the finest cigars to be found and dimes
whenever he can reserve a fork at
free lunch counter. He sticks to the
hotel lobbies like a mortgage on
farm and you cannot get him farther
away from the raditor than you can
throw Trinity Church by its steeple.
He strolls about the lobbies with a
fuzzy hat. a hand-painted vest, an
Illuminated necktie and a sut that
would make a chameleon cuss the ad-
ministration. He talks of his yacht
and when somebody throws away
slightly vacant cigar. he is injured in
the rush.
The lobby lounger is the only in
dividuaI who can wear a derby hat in
July and talk of millions at the same
time. When IL is his turn to motion
for a waiter he tells a story. Using
the same kind of toothpick as Charles
Schwab Is enough excuse for him to
refer to his friend Charlie.
II you try to put the acid test on
Broadway lounger, he will drink 1t
and dodge the check. His idea of an
important engagement is looking in
the mirror. He will butt into any
private conversation and walk away
with it-and IL hit is snubbed he
will only smile, Hotel men real
ize that the eLobby Lounger is
hurting the downtown hotel dis
trict. Many times they succeed in
fleeing guests, but in any event they
are always bores.
Now special squads of private de-
tectives will roam the hotel lobbies
and spot the loungers. They will be
given whispered instruction to get
the air. and IL they do not they will
be thrown out bodily.
The horrors which war may bring
upon innocent people have begun.
Song publishers are swamped with
patriotic. verse by ambitious song
writers. who realize that now is the
psychological time for the war song.
The following Gpostrophe to Mercy
was received the other day in Tin
Pan Alley. For fear Of a successful
misunderstanding upon the part OF the
reader, il is offered as its author
would have IT in poetic form:
The author also condescended the
information that the lyric was COM
posed following day in the Zoologi-
cal Park in the Bronx. presumably as
a spectator. Here it is:
Where is my wandering boy tonight?
The little Bronnix Mother said.
Perhaps he's On a battlefield
Among bunch of dead.
Maybe he's in a hospital
Without leg or arm
Heavings. / hope my wandering boy
Amt come to no harm"

Along with the Gaiety Girls and the
