Ar.nAr CAppef OF LAa.IsaS, the lahk'
uAalW4.hg le..uer OF liIe "Aarm bloc,
Is going tv have Dir.nday party our
at his nome town IN lupeha, Juiy Ia,
when ne will have rounded out 5e
years.
Lapper has rented the biggest
smusc ment park IN town and mas
given BLANKET invitation. to every
10Y and girl IN the state to come and
nave good time. The whole show
will be :'on' him. Everything will
be free, including lots OF lemonade,
Ice cream and popcorn.
The fact that ne must come up Tor
reelection next year has no cOnnec-
ton with the party. It's simply
Cappers way of having a good time
himself by giving the kids of his
state a joIlihcation.
Ut course, il any of their parents
want to cast their ballots for him
next year they may have that PRIV
lege.
If you're going to visit Washing
ton, keep your eye peeled while
you're sightseeing about town in the
afternoons for big, high Pierce
Arrow-One Of the models of 1915 or
whereabouts that stands strikingly
higher than the models of recent
years.
If you spot such car, take a good
look at the man sitting on the front
seat beside the chauffeur.
Chances are about nine to one
that it'ss be Woodrow Wilson, former
president, out for an airing.
Every afternoon now, while the
weather is fine, Wilson goes for a
drive. Instead of occupying the rear
seat with Mrs. Wilson, as he does in
the winter when limousine is used,
he sits up front with the driver. On
coolish afternoons ne wears coat
with a cape that Grapes about his
shoulders. His stiff straw hat has a
thick, narrow brim and high crown.
suggesting the vintage o. two or
three years ago.
Wilson has taken On weight. His
face is fuller, but there is u suggSs-
ton of softness, even habbiness to
his flesh that contracts with the firm,
well-knit strength evidenced in the
old dos. He is more sallow. His
SMILE is less frequent, too, and as he
passes one seems t. sense something
OF sadness, even of detection and
surrender to the physical handicap
against which he fought spiritedly
for the first three years following his
breakdown. He gives an impression
Of noticeable decline in stamina
and spirit in the past six months.
How'd they get that way?
Three representatives of "demo-
cratic" America, sailing on the maid
en- voyage Of the reconditioned Levi
athian, July 4, occupied premier
suites" listed to cost $4,96O per suite
for one-way, six-day voyage. They
were:
Albert D. Lasker, retiring head of
the Shipping Board.
George Harvey U. s. ambassador
to England. =
James John Davis, u. s. secretary
Of labor.
Presumably, however, these high.
priced suites had been left vacant
BY parties paying their own way
ncross and were simply utilised by
these official travellers to keep from
crowding others out Of staterooms
they could pay for. But, al. a mat
ter of official bookkeeping, We won
der If the State Department and the
Labor DEPARTMENT pay the Shipping
Board full fares for the trip across. |
It'd be worth the price to Davis. !
though, even il, he had to dig up the
whole 4,960 out Of his $4,000 year
" salary.
For think Of the thrill he'll get out |
If it., ~
And Of the thrill the whole town Of |
rredegar, Wales, whore Davis was i
born 80 years ago, will get when IL |
'ecs this nafivs son, who emigrated- I
'arefcoted and in patches AZ years t
go, return in the suite de luxe Of |
he most magnificent finer afloat-
md a member Of the cabinet Of i 4
,re't government to boot!
Here's guessing the Welsh rrota 7
'nder the immipv.tion law will be
'xceedcd within 80 days after Jimmie
:ets back to Wales. Is !.
