He will have thousand con men
excuse me, glad-hand men-all re-
hearsed up and trained like he is. to
jolly the visitors. They will all have
| their other suits on and shave every
day while the folks are in town.
| You see, when you take a man like
Dub Me Hank and add to him 999
others who act like he does-that is,
just ooze out happiness, joy and glad
you-came stuff, and do it all the time
when nothings going on-and add to

we will put them on a raft in the Tidal
basin. Morey certnly cannot furnish
a lake with every room. You see, it is

What's this you ask? Does hospital
ity apply to hospitals No, it does not
mean that this bunch of 1000 hospital
