who embossed me with their dies

The point which we are driving
at is this. that the comic folks who
contrive quips about the ornamental
designs for motor car treads are
wrong-that instead OF fewer we
should have more patterns: that, in

Political
Browsings
BY Labert st. Clair.

One of the best jobs in Washing
ton. insofar as the waiting business
goes. is that of waiter at the Senate
restaurant. Walters are kept there
for their knowledge of Senators
wants rather than for their ability
to serve, and also for their ac-
quaintance among Senators.
The Senate restaurant. you know,
is run at financial loss. which the
Senate always makes good out of
the peoples money. Therefore, the
chief job of the management ID to
please the patrons.
Quite a number of Senators eat
the same things every day, and,
therefore, they do not give verbal
orders. They rush into the res
taurant and take seats and expect
the walters to know just what they
want Former Senator Burton, OF
Ohio, who is coming back next
March as a Representative, for
years ate half and half and crack
ers for lunch. All he ever did was
to walk in and take a seat and
calmly wait for his bowl of lacteal
fluid.
Senator Lodge invariably eats a
chicken sandwich and glass OF
milk for his lunch. All the meat
must be white. Hence, when the
Senator sends word that he wants
a sandwich, watch closely and you
will see a waiter dash into the
kitchen and take great pains in get
ting a nice. white meat sandwich.
For Lodge is no one to try to pass
of section of neck on.
Some of the old walters at the
Senate restaurant know every Sem
ater by sight. And they come to
know new ones mighty quickly.
One of the most prominent fig
ures In Washington around inau-
gural time will be Representative
Lampert, Of Oshkosh, Wis. AS the
chairman of the Committee on the
Election of President and Vice
President he will have full charge
of arrangements for the ceremonies.
Lampert got into the job in an
odd way. When he was elected.
some three years ago, to I'LL an un-
| expired term. he thought Ii would
be nice thing to have a place on
the Military Affairs Committee. So
he went to Majority Leader Mann
and made his wants known. That
gave Mann a fine laugh, and he put
Lampert on the Elections Commit
tee. then considered more or less OF
"a joke assignment. But in the next
election every Republican on the
committee ahead of Lampert was
defeated. and, behold. he led all the
rest. -
A. scramble then started to get
Lampert out Of the Job. All kinds
Of nice plums were offered him II
