AS this appears the open season for
Limitations" a member or the cruz
sang a topical song, suggesting a
few limitations other than on arma-
ments. Here were some OF hts IDEAS:
To cut down on armament
Is the worlds good intent
Limitation is the order Of the day. :.
But some other things as WELL,
On q few of which we'll dwell.
Might be treated In a similar kind OF way.
There's the jay. there's the jay; a.. ,,
Who In Congress- fills the Record to the rim
With 4 hnnk-just of hunk,
Aud we'd like 4 limitation put on him'
Oh the prontssring rover
He's the champion of the world at standing
For our food and clothes and rent
We're at the mercy Of this gent;
We could stand a Limitation Of that
Aside from that-with great e.elat,
We would sentence him in language plain
T. . aeil, aea nlm; there to dwell,
with no Limitation placed upon his term.
Oh, we're weary as a nation
OF this blasted syncopation;
Isn't it time we gave to 1t the merry
''razz'!
We're for busting up the shimmy.
And We want limitation on jazz
Razzle-dazz, raElledalz.
When the world has gained again the thins
Common sense-conmon sense. ..
Therell be no need for limitations at all.

A minstrel show presented by mem
bers Of the club was put on to furnish
occasion for many quips ana good
natured flings at public men and al.
songs. Commenting upon the absence
from the dinner Of Marshal Foch, the
lend man" suggested that he is maxi
ing tour of the universities.
Coming east by degrees. was the
comment.
The description of normalcy, as out
lined by the interlocutor contained
SO many items that the end man pro-
tested that isn't normalcy, tnats the
millennium"
The minstrels took cognizance of
the pendency of the tariff bill in the
following song: .F-
SOME months ago. as you may know.
We heard Of legislation
That would revive and make alive
The business Of the nation.
The mouths have gone. with little done.
There's nothing hrt stagnation.
And when you question why
We sing yon this reply:
Oh. oh. oh. the tariff bill.
1t seems 10 he lost on Capitol Hill.
Come, Gabriel. blow your horn.
To make the tariff think It's resurrection morn.
Nine weary months have gone in flight
And still the end Is not In sight.
Everything is still.
Why this should be We cannot see,
1t seems to ,s u blunder,
The people wait In anxious state.
Soon they will cease to wonder.
They will arise and shake the skies
With noise like heavy thunder.
They will not stand 1t long =
And SO We. sing this song. ''.i.s
The Reward for 1t All.
