At the annual Gridiron dinner iryd
Washington, Saturday night, the f0ol-
lowing were among the "skits' that
were enacted:
Around large kettle threIe mem
bers dressed as witches ansfd repre-
senting Senators Borah, 9LaFollette
and Johnson. concoctedf a devils
brew. Borah reciting:
Round about the cauNdron go.
In new party issue Throw.
Knocks of every known condition,
Russian soviet recognition,
Blocs the standVbat goat hath got,
Boil thou first ifh the charmed pot"
All the witches insisted the new
brew should Dkot only have kick, but
should be composed of wicks. This
led Borah/ ITO soliloquize on the ques-
ton wheEther it were better to stay
within fhe party and swat the admin
istrai26n. thereby affording the DEM
ocrsfs much glee, or be a new party
m5kn in name as we'll as in deed. Sen
sitor Beveridge then announced his
4 willingness to join, explaining:
Twice have | switched: each time in
turn rejected.
| seek some haven now where | can
be elected"
The act closed with Henry Ford
feeding the fire with greenbacks and
with farmer and banker attempt
ing to stir up the brew together,
whereupon there was an explosion
and the party broke up with the or
ganizers blaming everybody and shak
ing their fists in each others faces.

Henry Ford standradizes his millions

Italy which have an interest In the

OF the cost would bo borne by Italy,
the amount being paid over a con-
