TO breakfast. we were rather star
tied to see young lady with a
fried sort of face come to serve US
our ham and. |" She knew her
business, though, and all in all, the
scheme was working out all right.
Looking around the big dining
room, we noted about all the vete-
rams on hand. But a number of
young men had vanished, especially
one Bulgarian, or Argentinian or
Greek, who year ago had insisted
on serving US a hard-boiled egg for
breakfast, accompanied by q pan
nikin of hot water.
He tried to make us believe we
had ordered it. He failed. We didn't
and told him, first politely, then not
SO politely, and. finally, in no uT1-
nistakable manner,-you know the
manner of wild, hungry man argu-
ing with Bulgarian. an Argsntiniall
or Greek.
Selling convenient moment. we
asked one OF the veterans how long
the Mattresses had been on the job.
TOO long," he snapped. s'Too
long. They're after runnfns the
whole place. It's gettini so nova
days that these women have to be
meldiin' In every kind o, business.
Land, In spite o. the Free State
traitors"
After. while we asked our own
particular waitress about the shift
in things and how she liked 1t.
"All right" came her answer.
But these old men here are very
hard to get along with.
Just then one Of the veterans,
with feet flattened by years OF
tshuffling in and out of kitchens,
passed us, carrying his platter.
There goes one Of the stock
holders" explained the girl. with q
curl of her lip. He owns stock in
this hotel-yes, he thinks he does. :"
There were whole Libraries In her
tones.
After a while there came sounds
! OF wild connection from the nearby
kitchen. Feminine voices were the
loudest, quite smothered the querel-
Gus tones Of aged men.
Out Of the door from the Kitchen
came an old man, fully seventy
years old. He had fire In his
| ancient Celtic eye. He was
grumbling to himself and as he
| passed us, he said, "'Tis q den
o. lions in there, that's what il
is, . den o. lions"
After him came our own particu-
lar waitress. She was a rose pink
She was ready to spit in Wildcats
face that very minute.
Everything going smoothly out
there?" we casually inquired.
oh yes,-'cept for them thieyin'
old men. They steal all our orders
SOS wen get into trouble with the
guests at our tables. But I always
give them a piece o. my mind. let
me tell you
! She appeared to have been en-
tirely successful in her charity.
/ And so 1T went from day to
/ day. Napkins disappeared from the
girls tables. So did extra spoons
and extra knives. Ice water cruets
were seldom at hand for the girls.
Neither were such things as ketcirup
bottles or the Worcestershire sauce
containers.
| It has been q sort of vaudeville
/ entertainment in the den o. lions"
ever since the Griffs arrived here
last Tuesday night and some Of the
/ boys will miss the fun over in New
York where the Bulgarians, the
Argentines and Greeks have full
sway.

DOME Bush expects to start
JezebeI Tecumseh Zachary today.
Well. old Zach is a fine pitcher.
If-he receives better support than
his predecessors have, he may
stop the Mackmen i'm their tracks.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1923-04-21

1t is apparent that DOME Bush
has not succeeded yet in getting
his team to play the kind of ball
he wants them to play. The wee
manager, it must be admitted, has
been bothered by poor pitching by
Mogridge and HoIlingsworth and
also by errors on the part Of his
players.

In other words, the Griffs are
mixing up excellent work with the
most wretched stuff. That's why
we say they must work this out
of their systems and settle down
to business before they are en-
titled to any praise.

MODESTY COSTS LIFE
Swims Too FDr To Keep From Shock
 ing Americans

PARIS, August 6.-Modesty cost the life of Jean Petet.
 Petet was bathing in the Seine without a bathing suit. Just as a policeman motioned for him to get out of the water. a party of American picnickers came along.
 The bather, apparently not want ing to shock the American girls and women, swan further out into the river instead of obeying the order of the officer.
 A heavy swell sent him under, and he never came up.
